Great job by our Spurs, congrats to those that believed

[Quasar]

2008: Pau's huge first year + Sleeping in a plane = West Finals Loss
It was a magnificent run vs Phoenix and NO... Tim's last second 3 in OT remains iconic.

2009: Manu injured = First Round exit vs Dirk

2010: Bowen, Fabricio out + RJ in = Suns Sweep
Beat Dallas again though!

2011: Monumental upset vs Unstoppable ZBo + Marc
"Neal with it" was born vs with that monumental 3 to force OT though!

2012: Harden vs "Immature Medium 3" = OKC win

2013: Noooooooooooooooooooo!

2014 REDEMPTION!!

This is exactly why I love the San Antonio Spurs so much. They never give up, they never freak out, they are just a steady locomotive that keeps chugging along. Adding a piece here, subtracting a piece there, all for the betterment of the team and ultimately, an NBA Championship. I am so freaking happy for every Spur, especially Tim Duncan. The dude deserves it after everything he has been through in the last year both on and off the court.

God, I love this team!

Another "up yours" to the media who keep saying the Spurs are too old or too boring to be relevant. Most of all, the big middle finger to all those loud mouth bandwagon Heat fans who kept running their mouth before the finals. Damn, I hate them!!

Such a great team. To me this was the Spurs most difficult playoff path to a championship of all their titles. It was also so sweet that they defeated the last 2 teams that ousted them over the previous 2 seasons. Kind of funny that the Spurs most formidable challenger was the Mavs in the first round. Much respect to the Mavs for giving the Spurs a wake up call.

Guys, I'm sleepwalking through my workday right now. So far nobody made the mistake assigning anything of importance to me. I just want to get home, watch Germany destroy Poortugal and than rewatch Game 5.

[SanDiegoSpursFan]

Duncan is so awesome. Best player on the team throughout the playoffs and was easily the most consistent player on the team.

[ceperez]

Best championship ever.

For 6 long years, few veterans want to sign with the Spurs. They all opted for other contenders.

This year Granger, Butler, Kirilenko and Odom all signed for other teams. The Spurs were thought to be over the hill.

The only players the Spurs were able to sign in free agency were players that were waived by teams, Diaw, Mills, Danny Green. Bellinelli was likely the only player this team could get in free agency.

This Spurs team has been 3 years in the making. Ever since they got Leonard and Diaw, this team finally had a chance.

I have to say that 6 definitely lessened my enjoyment of this postseason, because every time there was a big moment, every time we won a game or a series, I kept thinking "there's no point in rejoicing yet, if it finishes like last year". I definitely got excited a bit at times, but overall I felt a bit numb... until I saw Lebron and Wade on the bench in the waning minutes of Game 5 and realized that there wasn't going to be a comeback this time. As a fan, this title is really like refueling after all the disappointments, being finally ready to be really excited again.

Spurs’ Fifth Title Is One For The Ageless


http://nationalmemo.wpengine.netdna-cdn.com/wp-content/uploads/2014/06/SPORTS_BKN-FINALS_31_MI-1024x759.jpg

By Ben Bolch, Los Angeles Times

SAN ANTONIO — The healing began with about five minutes left in the third quarter, Manu Ginobili rising for a three-pointer that gave the San Antonio Spurs a lead simply too massive to overcome.

As a barrage of Patty Mills three-pointers accentuated the rout Sunday night, the decibels rose inside the AT&T Center to levels that hadn’t been experienced here since 2007.
The Spurs were champions once again, a 104-87 victory over the Miami Heat in Game 5 of the NBA Finals giving them their first title in seven years and all but erasing the sting of last year’s soul-crushing defeat against the same opponent on the same stage.

As black-and-silver confetti fell from the rafters, Spurs forward Tim Duncan embraced his children, teammate Kawhi Leonard accepted congratulatory pats all over his body for being named Finals most valuable player and coach Gregg Popovich tucked away his grumpy side to crack a wide smile.

“It makes last year OK,” Duncan said in a televised interview on the court after becoming the first player to win a championship in three different decades, having also won titles in 1999, 2003, 2005 and 2007.

Winning Finals MVP on Father’s Day may have also had a therapeutic effect for Leonard, the onetime Riverside (CA) King High star whose father was murdered at a Los Angeles-area car wash in 2008. The crime is unsolved.

“It is a very special meaning for me knowing that he’s gone and I was able to win a championship on Father’s Day,” said Leonard, who finished with 22 points and 10 rebounds. The forward who turns 23 in two weeks became the second-youngest player to win Finals MVP behind Magic Johnson, who won it at 20 and 22, after averaging 17.8 points and 6.4 rebounds while shooting 61.2 percent in the series.

Unlike Miami’s LeBron James, essentially a one-man operation with 31 points, 10 rebounds and five assists, Leonard had plenty of help. Ginobili finished with 19 points and Mills had 17, making four of five three-point attempts in the fourth quarter as the Spurs built a 22-point cushion.

Miami was unable to overcome the psychological toll of back-to-back blowouts on its home court in Games 3 and 4 as well as an equally disheartening 38-point turnaround in Game 5 after the Heat had seized an early 22-6 lead. The 70-point differential between the teams in the five games was the biggest in Finals history.

“They were the much better team,” said James, now 2-3 in Finals after the Heat fell short in its three-peat bid. “That’s how team basketball should be played.”

Heat guard Dwyane Wade looked slow and old for a second consecutive game, finishing with 11 points on four-for-12 shooting. Miami’s Chris Bosh, who had predicted victory in the morning shootaround, was also largely a non-factor with 13 points.

Duncan had 14 points and eight rebounds on the way to fulfilling his pre-series pledge that his team would avenge last season’s Finals defeat. It was the fifth title for Duncan and Popovich and the fourth for the trio of Duncan, Ginobili and Tony Parker, who scored 16 points.

Miami started Ray Allen instead of the struggling Mario Chalmers in an effort to get off to a better start than it had in the previous two games, and the plan worked flawlessly in the early going.

Well, mostly because the Heat still had James on the court. He had 17 first-quarter points on five-for-seven shooting to go with six rebounds and an assist while acting as the primary point guard.

But an early 16-point lead was gone by late in the second quarter, the Spurs surging ahead, 47-40, by halftime and never trailing again.

James’ lack of support was an ongoing issue throughout the series, triggering questions he quickly dismissed about whether he would opt out of his contract this summer.

As for the Spurs, with Duncan, Parker and Ginobili all under contract for one more season, they may not be finished with their championship tally.

“It’s amazing to think about having done this five times,” said Duncan, who called this title his sweetest. “The span between them, to still be in a situation where we can win or I can win another championship is just an amazing blessing, and it’s not taken lightly.”

Wow, fantastic video...FANTASTIC FINISH!!!! Go Spurs Go!!!!!

So proud of MY team!!

[G-Dawgg]

Timmy finally won a ring for his thumb! What a season this was. I was not fully convinced the Spurs had the firepower to pull it off earlier in the season when they couldn't beat the elite teams in NBA. However, they started to gel and get moving and once that began nobody was going to stop the juggernaught that is the Spurs. I'm sooo happy to be a Spurs fan right now. Congrats to the San Antonio Spurs!

[DatBoyGood]

Man this is crazy....looking back at January and how the media was making it a big deal the spurs horrible record vs elite teams and here they are now! Very happy for Tim and Kawhi

[Spur|n|Austin]

This is, BY FAR, the sweetest one. I started crying like a bitch when I saw TD with his kids.

Fact! I was sitting with 4 adult men and 3 women, and there wasn't a dry eye in the theater. This one is extra special.

[DatBoyGood]

The fact that the spurs took out the top 2 players on this planet (KD and LBJ) makes this so sweet. Got revenge on both of them.

[td4mvp21]

Such a great, rewarding season. Revenge against the Heat/Thunder/Mavs. Breaking all the Lakers records (most wins by trio, Tim's individual records). Largest Finals point differential ever. 19 straight wins in the regular season.

[Mugen]

By far, the best championship out of the 5. My favorite team of all time in any sport tbh.

:flag:

[buttsR4rebounding]

This is definitely the sweetest one of all!

Fuck you, man. Did you really have to post this? I thought I was done crying for tonight...

[MeesterMarcus]

Just an incredible finals for us. There is literally nothing I can say that we did wrong. Overall we played near-flawless team basketball and the championship is well deserved. To get back in the finals after last year and get through the super tough Western Conference and win it all is just amazing. Go Spurs!!

[TJastal]

Man this is crazy....looking back at January and how the media was making it a big deal the spurs horrible record vs elite teams and here they are now! Very happy for Tim and Kawhi

Anyone seen TD 21? That dude was cliffjumping after each and every loss to any team.

[gnsf0946]

Anyone seen TD 21? That dude was cliffjumping after each and every loss to any team.

He seemed to be jumping after losses and yet he kept coming back, perhaps now that we won he found the courage to actually do it :lol

[ChumpDumper]

That 5th was needed for his legacy IMO! It was already set in stone but now it has one accolade etched in it. I am glad #5 came. Most of us were worried bout the earlier season woes too, the good teams just punked the Spurs around! This is why it was a marathon as Pop would say and pounding the rock, all of that lead up to the team they were later in the year. What an amazing run.
