Gutsiest win of my lifetime

[DAF86]

Never seen anything like it.

With our two best players out, Manu, Green, Patty and Simmons played their guts out to overcome the inside jobs of Oldpovich and Lapussy. You had me on the brink tears guys. Thank you.

Thank God it's them that play and we SpursTalk types (always throwing in the towel) just type. :)

[SpurOutofTownFan]

Those guys bailed them out big time -

Pau Gasoft was crap - he was supposed to set up a screen in the last regulation play and instead grabbed Capella's genitals

[Spurs21Fan4Ever]

From a team perspective yes, but Duncan in game 7 of the 05 Finals was extremely gutsy.

[Shabazz]

Get em!

[PopTheGOAT]

It's guys playing with heart like that makes me believe there's like a 10% chance we could beat GS

[Keepin' it real]

I was saying the same. No Kawhi, no Parker, bad reffing, poor coaching, awful Gasol, anemic Aldridge, piss-poor defense ... and the Spurs still won?????!!!!!

[sananspursfan21]

This win HAD to take the wind out of Houston's sails

[FkLA]

:flag:

[TampaDude]

Houston is a bunch of faggoty faggots that fuck each other in their faggot asses.

GO SPURS GO!!!!!

[SASdynasty!]

Gutsy worms

[100%duncan]

I dont care if we get swept by GSW, but please dont lose to houston.

:lol stop it

[ViceCity86]

Games 5 & 7 of 2005 finals
2014 wcf game 6

[DAF86]

Games 5 & 7 of 2005 finals
2014 wcf game 6

In neither of those games we were as overmatched and outplayed as in this one, tbh.

Just think about it: We won the game with a 5'10" dwarf, a 40 year old and 2 D-leaguers.

We won this shit on pure will, effort and mental fortitude.

[Poolboy5623]

...in a series or 1 game???

[PopTheGOAT]

:lol stop it
:lol Too much?

[PopTheGOAT]

...in a series or 1 game???
A quarter tbh

[jag]

:lol Too much?

We're all getting carried away here...

[Chinook]

Again, that win in Washington in 2014 was up there too. Spurs won in double OT with Parker and Leonard hurt, Duncan fouled out and Green and Manu coming off injuries. Obviously, the 2014 team was deeper, but those were longer odds than tonight, if you ask me.

[HarlemHeat37]

Yeah, I never really remembered a moment looking at the talent and thinking wow the lineup we played at the end of the game can't compete with the other team. Houston's team is built to win in today's NBA. We took it from them tonight, definitely gutsy and we definitely willed that game out.

[Keepin' it real]

Houston is a bunch of faggoty faggots that fuck each other in their faggot asses.

You need help.

[Seventyniner]

We're all getting carried away here...

Yeah, game 5 in the 2005 Finals was gutsier, especially due to the higher stakes. Game 6 vs the Thunder in 2014 too.

Washington? Regular season doesn't count son, c'mon now. :lol

[unleashbaynes]

The last man of our big 3 just refused to lose. I will always love Manu.

[Horse]

And this Why more young guys need to play if we matched houstons effort these games wouldn't be close. Simmons did a hell of a job on Hardon. And if LA and gaysol are gonna shoot jumpers put dedmon in so he can block these punk bitches at the rim.

[cd98]

TBH, D Antoni choke job. Playing only 7 players in a playoff game that went into overtime. They had no juice. We'll take it, though. Hopefully he sticks w 7 the rest of the series.

[Spur|n|Austin]

Houston is a bunch of faggoty faggots that fuck each other in their faggot asses.

GO SPURS GO!!!!!

But do you still think they are beating the Spurs this series?

[Arcadian]

Man, we've had SO MANY of these situations as Spurs fans...game 5 in a tied series coming down to the wire...reminded me of 2004, except this time we got the victory :toast

[DAF86]

Yeah, game 5 in the 2005 Finals was gutsier, especially due to the higher stakes. Game 6 vs the Thunder in 2014 too.

We had 5 future hall of famers on their prime on that game. Tonight we had 2 D-Leaguers, a 5 foot nothing guy, a grandpa, a 6'11" jumpshooting pussy and a senile man on the sidelines.

[RodNIc91]

I feel you and I'm still in awe, but to me the gutsiest has to be Timmy bringing us back to the finals in '14 along with Manu's 3. Plus the second half of that game was played without Parker.

[Shabazz]

Let's close it out in Houston.

I'm a passionate enough fan as it is.....but that Manu block had me cutting onions a bit. Gorgeous.

[BSfromTX]

I agree. Can't believe he only goes seven players. Rest of series will be tough for them

[SAGirl]

Those guys bailed them out big time -

Pau Gasoft was crap - he was supposed to set up a screen in the last regulation play and instead grabbed Capella's genitals
Pau screwing that play was luckily buried by the team clutch plays... but wow that could have been the game right there.

[Darius Bieber]

Damn OP must only be like 12 years old

That was a hell of a game. One of my favorites ever. I probably watched it about 10 times and it was a close out game on the road. Will always remember Diaw for that game and Cojo. It's still probably a favorite over this one tonight I think. Lamarcus down the stretch was ugly to watch. Nothing like Tim.

Yeah when you put it like that, I agree. Comparing that 2005 team to this one, it's like comparing the varsity team with a special needs team. This game had L written all over it.

[UZER]

That's classic Choke D'antoni.

[tmtcsc]

You type pretty good for a 5 year old.

[tmtcsc]

Anyone celebrating this win is delusional. Tonight was about a few guys showing 'character' & playing the best they could. It was ugly basketball by two teams, neither of which is good enough to win 1 game in the next round. This was about who SUCKED LESS.

TIL that celebrating a game 5 playoff win with 2 of your best players out is delusional.

[sasaint]

Nah, they're encouraged. Going home for a W, then returning to SA where they have won one game and barely missed this one. Without Tony, and without a 100% Kawhi, a game 7 will be very hard for the Spurs to pull off.

[SpurOutofTownFan]

Yeah, game 5 in the 2005 Finals was gutsier, especially due to the higher stakes. Game 6 vs the Thunder in 2014 too.

Game 5 of 2005 was probably top 3 games I've ever watched

[Spurtacular]

This game doesnt make the list. Glad they ultimately didnt choke away another Game 5 to an inferior team, though.

:lol

[JR3]

I got emotional when I realized that if Manu wouldn't have been so clutch tonight, it would have possibly been his last game in San Antonio... and I think he knew it.

[testies]

But seriously, Game 6 against OKC was way gutsier and felt more important

I mean, this will all seem pointless once GSW beats us easily in 5

[Hoops Czar]

Games 5 & 7 of 2005 finals
2014 wcf game 6
Also, game 1 against GS in 2013 semis when the Spurs were thoroughly outplayed for 3 quarters, down 12 with 3:14 to play in the 4th, won it on a 3 by Ginobili at the buzzer in double OT. But again, he said in his lifetime so that could still be true. The ineptitude down the stretch by both teams was mindboggling. This looked more like a Houston choke though the Spurs will gladly take it.

This. It didn't hit me until I saw the whole team hugging him after the block.

[gambit1990]

i agree with OP... people are totally overlooking that kawhi wasn't on the floor for so long to end this game 5.

Or the Rockets' lack thereof.

Yeah well, that's why I didn't say "best win of my lifetime". I said "gutsiest" becuase of all of what you said: it was ugly, it was shitty, we had no business winning it, and it got done by a few guys showing "character" and playing the best they could.

If I had told you, before the series, that game 5 would came down to OT and the Spurs would be running with Mills, Manu, Green, Simmons and a giant pussy, you would have thought "we're fucked".

[gilmor]

Don't ever .. underestimate the heart of a champion

[therealtruth]

That was vintage Manu.

That is very accurate.

[spurspokesman]

Epitome of the term" A few good men".

[BG_Spurs_Fan]

Even though in the NBA there's only the champion and everyone else, wins like this one and the emotions they bring are totally worth it even if they don't win the championship. It's about the journey, not just the destination.

We overcame faggot Harden and those faggot refs. Let's close those Rocketfags out in Game 6 and get some rest before the WCF.

Thought the same. It's at least up there, probably top 5.

I gladly accept I was wrong about this game.
