<div class="quote_poster">Quoting johnny33:</div><div class="quote_post">Just look at the Pistons - no egos, no one demanding shots, they just play as a team.</div> I can pretty much guarantee Yao will NOT have an ego. So its all gonna depend on how much T-Mac is willing to change to win. And it looks like he wants to win to me.
<div class="quote_poster">Quoting Tripl3:</div><div class="quote_post">no the Spurs are NOT a dynasty...they're good and will be a top team in the West for years but they have enough weaknesses to be a dynasty...for one, they cant shoot free throws at all...if Duncan gets injured, its over...Ginobili is a nice player, but too inconsistent for my liking...Parker has to be more consistemt against the better PGs of the West...their hopes and dreams all rely on Duncan, if he gets injured or is out for a lengthy stretch, then they become an average team and struggle to get wins...atleast now if TMac gets hurt, Yao steps up, and vice versa, plus we have other offensive threats such as JJ and Mo Taylor and J-Howard, all capable of scoring 18+ on any given night...</div> What are you talking about the Spurs won in 1999 and 2003 if they win 1,2, or the more times they will be the best. what have Houston done? Let me break down your comments you said "they can't shoot free throws" wellllllll look at the 1999 and 2003 Championship years they were near the bottom or last in free throws but they still won. you also said this "dreams all rely on Duncan, if he gets injured or is out for a lengthy stretch, then they become an average team and struggle to get wins...atleast now if TMac gets hurt, Yao steps up, and vice versa" the Spurs did win last year when Tim was out but for you to say that if Yao is gone that TMac can compete in the West. look at the Magic last year Then you said this"plus we have other offensive threats such as JJ and Mo Taylor and J-Howard, all capable of scoring 18+ on any given night" ok lets put Bruce on JJ and Tim on J Howard what do you have not only that but how are you going to stop Tony, Manu, Barry and Tim What Defense of stoppers do you have. Just because you Don't like the Spurs doesn't mean they are a dynasty in the making.
I dont think they will be a dynasty no because going back to a post by trench a couple days back the definition of a dynasty is a family or dominate power that continues to rule over several decades. The tmac/Yao thing will be tight they may win a couple titles though they wont be able to pass the tourch imo when there time is over to continue the winning tradition in the next generation they will be good yes, but with the stacked west and all that now they will not be a dynasty. IMO I dont see them being able to win three titles mabye if they get a point guard they can win 2 titles, but right now I see them getting one and even to get that one it will be a struggle. Having to over throw the still reigning lakers dynasty since they havent been officially over thrown yet. Though it has been partly broken up along with the up and coming nuggets and the wolves also the spurs they have to much to contend with to become a dynasty at this point.
