The series with Detroit was a disappointment ratings wise
so the teams were both obviously bad. You have to beat
a good LA team or a good Boston team to be considered
legitimate champions.
Conclusion:
The Spurs got lucky every year, one way or another.
Just not flashy enough. That does not work in this NBA.

Oh I think the whole "our team doesnt get the credit it deserves" thing is pretty bunk. San Antonio got a ton of respect those years. In 05, they were favored all year long in the future books to win the title and the pistons were the defending champs. The spurs could play any tempo and win...kind of like this laker team and most good championship teams. Its just the 07 team just happened to be the weakest championship of the dynasty and to me the weakest in my lifetime. It doesnt take away from the accomplishments of the other teams and that team certainly can't be criticized for winning a title. Either way, that team has nothing to do with any of their other teams.
