You need to win multiple titles in a row to be a dynasty in my book.

Fair enough. So then you are saying the 80's Celtics weren't a dynasty? But by this logic the Bad Boy late 80's Pistons and the mid 90's Rockets could be?

No. Not fair enough. He said 2/6, it's 3/8. The Celtics won three in the 80s, none back-to-back, but are considered a dynasty from '80-'87, also an 8-year stretch. I've never seen the Spurs' numbers consolidated like this, clearly they qualify.

That said, I could do without you making an excuse for why they got pwned by my Suns in the first round in 2000...

3 titles in 7 years isn't a dynasty? Tough crowd.

So what if a team wins 50 titles in 99 years, but not in consecutive years?

Basically the point I wanted Charlie to get since this is almost identical to the SA franchise. 3 titles in 7 years and not back to back.

Pretty salty start for the Heat.

They didn't exactly dominate in 2005
They played the short season 2003

they were the Lakers punching bag for a stretch....how is this a dynasty?
they were a very very good team over 7-8 years.

The Lakers with Shaq/KOBE were the last "dynasty".
The Lakers were a great team over 5-7 years.

Charlie now you're just arguing about semantics.

In other news, Pistons defense off to a horrible start.

Hornacek,

I predict a tightening of the screws in the second half, maybe the second quarter. Still early.

CharlieDontSurf · #68 05-23-2006, 08:45 PM

I just have a hard time calling the Spurs a dynasty.
I view teams like the Bulls, Lakers(2000),Yankees, etc dynasties.
I've always viewed dynasties as being a short time period where one team ruled. but thats just me.

Hornacek · #69 05-23-2006, 08:47 PM

No problem. I think the "Spurs Dynasty" is akin to saying something like a "Red Wings Dynasty" in the NHL from 97-2004.

Gary Payton has to be the worst player getting minutes in the entire playoffs. Great in his day, but this guy needs to retire... quickly.
