Braves. They were regular division champs and did well, had that great pitching.
yeah, i would say the dominant teams were Detroit, Colorado and NJ during that time. Dallas was just a good team that only got the job done once.Quote:

Gotta get a title DE.
Ok. You're right. So it's a competitive, maybe even dominant team that never lived up to it's potential and only got one championship.
Hey Gl'enn, how does first place in the division sound?
^ no rush.
Thanks for your opportunistic post after that great 1 point win at home over the Warriors last night. Opportunistic posts are always welcomed in this thread.
Actually, winning the division might make the playoff ouster more painful for Spurs fans, so I'm cool with it.
Are you mocking him for mocking you for throwing a party about one loss?Quote:

well, since they did not win it all last year they were in fact DONE.
This thread shall live until they win it again.
As long as Pops is coach, they'll be in the hunt.
This is a sharp young man right here.Quote:

It shouldn't have taken a sharp young man, I thought it was sufficiently over the top to be obvious.Quote:

I haven't sent shit into the Stands since I returned and am looking forward to it.
But doesn't that mean you're answering your own question? Aren't you then saying that no, the Spurs are not done until the core of Duncan/Partker/Flop boy is no longer together?Quote:

This is a Top Ten all-time thread (both in terms of views and in terms of relevance).
Shit's legendary.
Now, ordinarily I would expect the thread to now get swatted based on those comments alone, but here's the deal, if it's swatted, it's because y'all are afraid that I'm right. If you think I'm wrong and that the Spurs will indeed win another title with the "big 3" before they are broken up, then leave it here and I'll face the music on the big stage.
See last post.Quote:

If they win another ring with this core, the thread is also no longer needed, except for me to admit the wrongness of my ways and for me to take ridicule. But that's not going to happen.
Well, if it's title or bust on the done question, I think you might be right. At least I agree that it's something interesting to watch and debate on for a while longer and that the thread shouldn't be swatted.
By the way, this isn't a new concept: http://wtfdetroit.com/forums/showthread.php?t=6249

Hardly a bold statement (like me/Orlando/no playoffs 12 months in advance) but good for you:
Throw it out there and see what happens.
EDIT: LMAO - You linked to my Orlando prediction thread
Too many people here play it safe all the time, IMO.
Call it like you see it and let the chips fall where they may.
Exactly - what's the worst that can happen? You'll be wrong?Quote:

Spurs F Oberto to miss 2 games
SAN ANTONIO -- Spurs forward Fabricio Oberto will miss San Antonio's next two games because of an irregular heartbeat.
Oberto felt his heart beating abnormally Thursday, and tests confirmed he was experiencing atrial fibrillation. His heart is back to normal, but Oberto will not play Friday night against the Los Angeles Clippers or Sunday against New Orleans so he can be monitored by doctors.
He is averaging 2.7 points and 2.7 rebounds off the bench.
I really need to start looking into that If you don't like, don't read thing.

That av and location are great.

As a Spurs-hater, about the best I can hope for is for them to lose home court adv. and fall to the 7th seed, but it's improbable that they'll lose another 2.5 games in the standings with only 8 to play, but who knows?
