Another bad Spurs third quarter in New Orleans. Nice little 17-4 run for the Hornets.

Oh God no, no dynasty. It's actually a huge failure that they're not. They've been to six straight conf finals and they probably shouldve been to at least four Finals and won probably two or three times. The attitude and ridiculous nonchalant behavior has quite a bit to do with that.Boobie Miles said:Oz said:Boobie Miles said:rube said:Six straight conference final appearances for Detroit. Say what you will about the conference, the team's attitude and otherwise -- but that's pretty damn impressive.
Impressive in an Atlanta Braves way or a Buffalo Bills way. I think they're a little overrated considering they've only been to two finals and won one.
Which is more than any team not named the Lakers or Spurs can say this past decade.
Which is a way of saying two teams have been better this decade. Woo hoo we've been the third best franchise... one title in 8 years. I'm not saying they aren't a good team. I just think the fact that everyone always talks about how they've been there and all that, well sure they've been pretty far a bunch of times, but they ain't exactly a dynasty.

Parker's gotta shoot more than 14 times for the Spurs to win. It's so strange how San Antonio could lead at halftime in all three games it's lost, three games it's lost by 18, 19, and 22.
And why Ime Udoka continues to get fourth-quarter minutes is beyond comprehension.
Yep, 71-48 in the postseason since '02. And counting.Oz said:Boobie Miles said:Oz said:Boobie Miles said:rube said:Six straight conference final appearances for Detroit. Say what you will about the conference, the team's attitude and otherwise -- but that's pretty damn impressive.

I don't anyone here has called them a dynasty. But it's still a darn good run.

Udoka, when hot, is a pretty good three-point shooter. He can play some defense, but he's in there to spell Finley and to hit some threes.

Well, Boobie, not to poke at coals here or agree with those who call them championship caliber ... but people have also been calling Boston a championship caliber team this year and all they've done is go 6-5 in the playoffs thus far.Boobie Miles said:Oz said:Boobie Miles said:Oz said:Boobie Miles said:rube said:Six straight conference final appearances for Detroit.

Yeah, that's true. I just think they get a little more credit they deserve. The East has been weak over those six years and they've kept the same core together. I just feel like people talk about them as a championship caliber team and they've only won 1, which was what five years ago?
