You didn't say that. If you had said it, I'd have agreed. You can't be called a dynasty when another team wins three straight NBA titles during your run as a dynasty. But they're still a basketball team that will go down in history as being truly great, and they deserve that. Four NBA championships in nine years is unbelievable, and if you disagree, you're jaded as fuck.

That just says a lot about how great Stockton and Malone were and it also reminds us how great the Bulls were.. or the Knicks, Pacers, etc.. who used to give the Bulls all they could handle..
C'mon man. this league sucks. The teams in this league including the Spurs could never compete on the Bulls and Co.
That's my problem with givng the Spurs credit.

How could you possibly fault the Spurs though? They're a throwback to the way basketball used to be played, and they're the best-run team in the league for it. You don't have to like the style they play (personally, I hate it), but they'll still beat the shit out of your team.
If anything, all you hear these days is what great shape the league is in for the future, with guys like LeBron and Wade and Anthony and Bosh and Arenas, etc., and I'm excited as anyone else for it. But in my eyes, the guy in that pack who pulls away from the others will be the one who lands with a smart organization and who can be built around properly (like, say, Jordan or Bird).

You say the Spurs won twice in Phoenix against a stacked team? Am I supposed to forget that game 5 was THE most important game in that series?
the Suns who were coming off a HUGE victory in San Antonio came home to find out that 2 of their top players were not going to be able to compete in the game.. So what did the Suns do? they played their heart out in game 5. They led for most of the game, at certain points up by as many as 20. They left their heart on the court and it just wasn't enough..

You're right, for some reason I thought they were suspended for the game in San Antonio.
Either way, it's not like Tony Parker laid down the suspensions for Amare and Diaw. The Spurs came back from that 20-plus-point deficit in a raucous Phoenix arena, and that counts for something.
