Are the Spurs done?

To me the Pistons of the 2000's are like the Dallas Stars recently. They've been good for a while (until this year, which is similar to the Pistons). They won a title, but were never the dominant or favorite team. They had a good 6-7 year run of being in contention though.

Solid example. I was trying to think of a team from another sport that fit the profile.

Bash Brother A's? They had 5-6 good years there, but with a couple meh ones mixed in.

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.

The Stars and the Braves are great comparisons. I think the A's one is real solid too. How about the Suns (over more than one decade) for basketball? Or Stockton, Malone and their Jazz teams?

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.
