Congrats Spurs.........4 titles in 9 years! MAJOR PROPS!

[Hatesrats™]

First off congrat's to the Spur's on another Championship.

''the mustard's off the hot dog'' - Chick Hearn

but my favorite part about the games has been the announcing LMAO!!!
They Made the Spur's to be the Bill Russel Celtic's in every game in every second of every call....
I swear they convinced me SA went undefeated this year and won every game by blowout.

''faked him into the popcorn machine'' - Chick Hearn

Were they even the favorites to win the West?
Were they even Expected to be in the Western Conference Finals this year? (<-----The True Final's)

Again, prop's to T.Parker, Manu, Duncan, Finlay ect...
but I think may watch Basketball in mute from now on.
another season gone by, more legend's names being dragged thru the mud as if their legacy can be won/lost in one game
oh well..

''You can put this one in the refrigerator,
The door's closed, the light's out, the eggs are cooling, the butter's getting hard and the Jell-O is jiggling.'' - Chick Hearn

Danm!! I miss Chick Hearn
(they don't make them like you anymore sir)

Fuck Modern NBA announcing

My bad guys, didn't mean to include Magic in there, i can admit a mistake when i make one

+1

Antonio: Good comparison with LBJ and Shaq's first title run; Shaq got eaten alive by Hakeem in that first finals, it was almost laughable. I remember everyone was dogging Shaq, but in reality, Hakeem was on another level at the time.  It isn't always a bad thing for a player to have some disappointment early in his career.

No it isn't. That said, Shaq moved to L.A. to win his first title. Maybe Lebron should consider a move like that in his future (i'm talking about moving to a great franchise who knows how to win titles and who can make things easier for him) if things will not change. He will have to make a decision: be the next KG or be the next Shaq.

I think he knows that now, if he has watched a tape showing Varejao's moronic attempt to score (instead of just passing it back like he was supposed to) during the last seconds of Game 3.

teecee you obviously went too far with the comparision, homie.
My man Magic Johnson won 5 (five) NBA Titles, with 3 NBA Finals MVP throphies. And 3 Regular Season MVP thropies as well.

That said, like i wrote a pair of weeks ago, i enjoy watching the Spurs cause they're a great organization, they have a great coach in Popovic (as of now i'd rather have Popovic coaching my fav team than Phil Jackson), a lot of international players, God (Horry), a personal homie of mine (Ginobili) AND - like i said - the best PF of all time. They deserved the title, so it's all good.

Oh, and i'm happy for the Cavs too. I don't give a fuck about people saying they're the worst NBA Finalists ever: Shaq's Magic lost 4-0 too. But them NBA Finals made Shaq a better player, so i'm sure those NBA Finals will make LeBron a better player. And i'm sure those ones won't be his last NBA Finals.

You rather have Gregg Popovich coaching these Lakers?

What a fucking disaster that would be...

Disaster? Man are you serious? Popovich won 4 NBA titles!! Do you hate Popovich too?
The disaster is that we have a team that can't make a fucking shoot in the 4th quarter if Kobe ain't the one taking it.
And i blame the coach for that.

Popovich is a great coach. But LOL if you think he's anywhere near PJ. And LOL if you think Popovich would have made the playoffs BOTH of these past two seasons in Phil's shoes...LOOK AT HIS PERSONNELL.

It's a good staff. Good for him and the Spurs. Well, Phil has always had a good staff around him too, man (Tex Winter?). It's not a fault.

[Now_Im_Not_Banned]

The point is, Phil has done the max with this Laker roster...Let me ask, do you think Greg Popovich woulda' gotten these Lakers into the playoffs in the past 2 years?

I don't have the magic ball, man. I don't know. Anyway keep in mind Phil is about to be in his 8th season in L.A.
I mean he already have a great staff around him, there are people who already knows triangle (Kobe, Walton, Cook)..
Those Lakers ain't a good roster for Greg Popovich's playbook. He should have had the chance to make minor adjustments and to choose a pair of his fav players.
Example if we had Bowen, Vaughn, Elson.... who already knows how Popovich works.. And Duncan.. (a superstar who knows how Popovich works)....
Anyway, talking about Popovich's personnel, the coach of Cleveland and the one of Dallas are coaches "made" by Popovich. And they reached the NBA Finals in the last 2 years.

^^Look at who you named as the players who know the triangle...Luke and Cook.......Now compare that to Tony Parker and Manu Ginobli, and there is your answer for why Popovich has had an easier time than PJ in the past couple years. Stil PJ >>>>> Popovich...PeACe

Man Popovich doesn't need players who knows how to play triangle. It's easier. He built the team around Duncan, Bowen and Horry. And he added Tony Parker and Ginobili, two extremely talentuous players. Phil built the team around Kobe and Phil, and the triangle. And he have role players like Walton and Cook. To make a dynasty using the triangle is harder.

You're missing the point. Popovich has the pieces he needs...Phil doesn't. That's what it comes down to...NOT Popovich being a better coach, like you made it seem...PeACe

[WC Iz Active]

both are great coaches no doubt but

Phil Jackson>>>>Greg Popovich

Hey, i've never said Popovich is a better coach than Phil Jackson!!! You guys don't get me wrong! I've said RIGHT NOW i'd rather have Popovich. It's a personal opinion.

It's obvious Phil Jackson > Greg Popovich.

I'll never argue against Phil Jackson as a coach, because success speaks louder than anything else.    However, the argument you make about  Phil not needing the pieces to win is BULLSHIT. 

What has Phil Jackson won without:  a)  the best player ever
                                                    b)  the most dominant center ever
                                                    c)  a dude that COULD be the 2nd coming of Jordan if he had a clue


And don't give me any of this first round bullshit.  When you speak of WINNING, you gotta AT LEAST be talkinf a couple of rounds. You yourself thought the Lakers were fine this year, even had a shot at the title, yet they tanked at the end of the year, and thensucked in the playoffs!  So, what the fuck has Phil won without a stacked team?
