    No doubt the most r****ded fans in the world are Spers fans. Laker and Mavs fans might be bandwagoners, but atleast they aren't as stupid as Spers fans.

    Can't blame em though. I dont think modern technology has arrived in that crappy ass city of Dump Antonio. Thus, the lack of vital information.

    Keep up the lies.

    Elie 81 games played
    Smith 81 games played
    Cassell 82 games played
    Horry 64 games played

    Sorry, but Horry's 18 games and 3.5 3PFGA per game is not the reason why we were 6% points lower than the Spurs.

    What else you got sport? I am having fun shooting down every single one of your pathetic subjective arguements.

    During the 1995 postseason run culminating in Houston's second NBA championship, the Rockets defeated the San Antonio Spurs and the Orlando Magic, two teams with great centers who were left bewildered by Olajuwon's moves.

    In a Life magazine story, San Antonio's David Robinson seemed perplexed. "Solve Hakeem?" said Robinson. "You don't solve Hakeem."

    Orlando's Shaquille O'Neal felt the same way after going down in a Finals sweep . "He's got about five moves, then four countermoves," said a stunned O'Neal. " That gives him 20 moves."

    Nice arithmetic from the Big Aristotle :D

    Best NBA stat site out there. Make it easy for one to dismiss silly arguements presented by Spur fans. ;)

    If you create a legend for yourself, like Dream did, then you have set yourself apart from anyone who hasn't done that. For example, Duncan. So even if they match up statiscally. Dream still has the edge at this point. I tend to look at stats, rings, and legend. Hakeem still has 3 of the 3 on Duncan.

    Then I guess the regular season didn't really mean much to the Rockets at all, which means looking at stats from that regular season is also a waste of time in measuring talent. Just consider the players on the Rockets (Elie, Horry, Cassell, Maxwell) against the Spurs shooters (Elliot, Person, Del Negro) of that year and consider which players have done more overall through their careers. Obviously teh Rockets had the supersior talent, and that's why Hakeems team moved on. Not because of his superiority.

    No, I do believe it was 97 when Hakeem choked and the Jazz knocked off the Rockets with all their hyped talent. What a great moment for Hakeem! Getting beat up by Greg frickin' Ostertag!

    No, you're thinking of 1998 when the Rockets were eliminated by the Jazz and Ostertag had a good series.

    The Rockets sucked that year, they finshed 41-41, not nearly as good as 97, and Hakeem's decline had begun, he was injured for half the season.

    Wrong year, idiot.

    Now run along and troll a Mavericks board.

    If you're just going to come here and post stupid flame bait, at least make it artful. This is just garbage.

    Lets recap Go_Spurs arguements here.

    David Robinson is better than Hakeem because:

    1) Greg Ostertag had one game where he played Hakeem to a standstill

    2) The Rockets had superior shooters (which is not true (backed up by the stats I have provided))

    3) The Rockets had more talent on their team than Hakeem did (which apparently explains why the Spurs finished with far and away better record than the Rockets as pointed out by Rockets03).

    All subjective criteria and arguements.

    Yet, when presented with FACTS and STATS which are absolutely INDISPUTABLE, Go_Spurs can not explain them other than to refer back to the 3 arguements listed earlier in my post.

    Classic!

    Don't give me credit for that. I didn't do it. I was just posting my blind hatred for the Spers and the city Dump Antonio.

    David Robinson is going to win this title like Luc Longley won his.

    If you would like to ignore just about every other stat(Even D-Rob's ROY award means nothing. He didn't face Jordan, Barkley, Malone, etc... in that race), that's cool. I wish you good luck in finding a non-Spur fan to agree with you.

    I find it hilarious that you would even compare Robinson's one title(Haven't won it yet...) to Hakeem's two. David's ring should read "Courtesy of Tim, Sean, and Jaren."

    i got these stats of duncan and olajuwon, both of them are pretty close but hakeem has the edge in his first 6 years vs. duncans first 6 years

    Player MPG FG% RPG APG SPG BPG PPG
    Olajuwon 36.5 .516 12.4 2.8 1.97 3.36 23.2
    Duncan 39.3 .509 12.25 3.15 .78 2.50 22.8

    This is when he didnt have all his moves olajuwons better

    I'm about to grill you hard.

    Go Spurs Gooooooooo, do you realize how STUPID you look right now.

    You made the absurd comment above not realizing that David Robinson NEVER beat the JAZZ in the PLAYOFFS! 0 for 3 just to remind you.

    Lets see, in 1994, the Spurs played the Jazz in round 1, and had homecourt. Robinson was the NBA SCORING LEADER, and his Spurs still couldn't beat the Jazz as they lost 3-1. If David was better, then he wouldn't have let his team lose to that overrated Jazz team in 94.

    Lets see, in 1996, the Spurs played the Jazz in the 2nd round, and had homecourt. Robinson averaged 25 ppg, and his Spurs still couldn't beat the Jazz as they lost 4-2. If David was better, then he wouldn't have let his team lose to that overrated Jazz team in 96.

    Lets see, in 1998, the Spurs played the Jazz in the 2nd round. The Jazz had homecourt like they did against houston in 1997. Robinson averaged 21.6 ppg and the Spurs had a Rookie of the year in Tim Duncan, and the Spurs still couldn't beat the Jazz as they lost 4-1. If David and Tim were better, then they wouldn't have let their team lose to that overrated Jazz team in 98.

    And yet, go Spurs Gooooo, you blast Hakeem?

    Look, take your garbage elsewhere. We only like logical posters around here.
