Are the Spurs done?

I seem to recall posing an open ended request for something in return if I was right, which was met with *crickets*.

Oh, but you'll call me out NOW.

No, that's not opportunistic at all.

In return you would have gained respect and dignity, you declined the offer.
So, no soup for you.

Here's my daughter's step stool to help Glenn get up.

We can bring this discussion back up when the Spurs win their next ring.

It will be a ton of laughs!

Yes, because only a championship means you were wrong. We didn't spend PAGES going over this or anything.

I was wrong about them not making the WCF, I don't deny that.

Yes, we did spend many pages on this, and in those pages I specifically tried to be clear and consistent about what I meant about them being "DONE." so this exact thing that you are doing right now wouldn't happen.

Now you've made me dig up old posts and waste my time, making me grumpy.

1)They won't win another title
2)They won't even make the WCF

And a few more examples of me reiterating what I meant when I was asked to define what being "DONE." meant:

So in summary, I feel and have felt, that this core group of Spurs is DONE. winning championships. As a seperate aside, I stated that I felt so strongly that this was the case that I was even willing to state that they would not even make the WCF this year. That, as it turns out, I was wrong about, and I freely admit it.

If they win another championship together, then I am wrong about both aspects, but until they do, I'm only wrong about them not making the WCF this year.

In fact, even if they had lost to the Hornets, the claim of them being "DONE." would not have been proven to be correct. They could have still proven me wrong by winning it all in '09 or '10, etc.

Capish?

Okay, resume pushing buttons now, Fool.

Hi. I was here for all that. And I think you'll find Mr. Archivist, that I'm saying now what I said then.

It's ridiculous to say that the only way you are not right is if they win a championship. Wooooo what a claim. You are taking the field. So ballsy.

As though getting to the Finals again wouldn't show that they were still a viable team. As if loosing a hard fought series against a championship team still means they were DONE.

When did I say it was ballsy?

You can argue if it was ballsy or not all day.

I'll stick with the facts.

Unless they win another championship together, then they are indeed done winning championships together.

Go ahead and try to disprove that.

Again, I was wrong because I thought they wouldn't even make the WCF, and they have. Props to them.

They better get that ring now, because that ship is sailing real quick.

I'm not trying to disprove jack. When we finally figured out that is what you were saying we were all bored and left the thread which only regained life in
mocking you.

I predict no volcanoes will erupt in the next 20 days. Volcanoes = DONE.
