Besides playoffs..Best win ever?

[Jimcs50]

I think so.

Manu just made the Allstar team tonight.

[ShoogarBear]

No, Jim, the season is over, remember? :p

[Jimcs50]

Manu has just had one of the top ten games in Spurs history

[Jimcs50]

No, Jim, the season is over, remember? :p

Rasho was not needed afterall.:)

[Spurminator]

I still like the 2nd to last game of the 1999 season against Utah where we overtook them in the division standings.

But this is probably top 10. ;)

[Sense]

Manu, Tim, Barry, and Beno were PERFECT tonight.....

PERFECT!

Where were they against the Sonics?

[Jimcs50]

Tony is now a bench player

Beno>>>>>Tony

[T Park]

This game reminded me about 3 minutes left in the 3rd, of Spurs Vs Mavericks 03 game 6.

Barry = Kerr

Udrih= Claxton

Ginobili = Jackson

Brown = Ginobili



Fantastic basketball game.


Spurs do this on national tv.


THIS, cements the SPurs lead at the top of the NBA.


Suck on it Stephen A Smith.

[Spurminator]

Bullshit.

[T Park]

Tony is now a bench player

Beno>>>>>Tony

DONT ANYONE KILL JIM

HES KIDDING!!!


lol

Udrih was a freaki MAN tonight.


But according to Sequ, he sucks.

[PM5K]

You guys sure do get ahead of yourselves, I know somewhere on a Phoenix Suns message board someone said the same thing in the fourth quarter....

[Jimcs50]

SAS has been a Spurs fan for a while now...he has said they were best team all year long.

[Jimcs50]

I will bet a million dollars that this is over

[PM5K]

I will bet a million dollars that this is over

That's how teams get jinxed....

[Jimcs50]

TP is starter, but he lost his allstar chance tonight and Manu grabbed it by the balls and he is an ALLSTAR.

[Jimcs50]

That's how teams get jinxed....


I dare the bball gods to make the Spurs lose

[Jimcs50]

I double dare them

[Jimcs50]

I double dog dare them

[Jimcs50]

Toldya!!!

[PM5K]

Lol

[SequSpur]

WOW. One of the best games that I have ever seen.

[1Parker1]

^^^For once, I agree with you !

[Kori Ellis]

It's close to the best regular season Spurs game I've seen. That game where David got tossed and Tim went crazy against Portland is up there.

[Jimcs50]

WOW. One of the best games that I have ever seen.


And w/o Rasho too, you must be in heaven, huh?

[SequSpur]

I need a drink....... baaaaaaaaaaaadddddddddddddddddddddddddd........... ......

[Jimcs50]

It's close to the best regular season Spurs game I've seen. That game where David got tossed and Tim went crazy against Portland is up there.


That was awesome Kori, but with Nash coming back and with TP and BOwen sucking on offense and being down 17 on the road in the 4th....this is the most improbable win that I have ever seen for MY team....and no TMac.:)

[exstatic]

Manu just made the Allstar team tonight.
I was thinking that myself.

Manu has just had one of the top ten games in Spurs history
Let's not go overboard. Gervin had 60+ games of 40 or more.

[PM5K]

I was thinking that myself.

Let's not go overboard. Gervin had 60+ games of 40 or more.

It's not just the points but how important those points are, I think there is a big difference between 40+ points against the second best team in the league in a win where you were down by I believe ninteen at one point early in the fourth, and say blowing out the Bobcats at home by thirty....

[whottt]

It's definitely in the top 5 Spurs games that I have seen, going back to 81-82.

And Manu's performance tonight ranks up there among the best individual performances in team history.

And I say that not just because of how many points Manu scored, but the team, the game, and the situation in which he scored them...this was huge performance in a big game and Manu willed this team to a win.

75% of this game was Manu VS Amare and Nash...and he held his own against the both of them...

Anyone that doesn't think Manu is a franchise 2 guard, just doesn't know what a franchise player looks like...he's a franchise player, he's also a guy that is willing to be, and can be, a highly skilled role player. There aren't a lot of Manu's playing pro basketball in the world, period...Recognize it, lest you join the rest of those he has made fools of.

[Jimcs50]

Yes, but given the circumstances and who we were playing on the road( 2nd best team) on national tv....this has to be top 10.....

[boutons]

What so damn wonderful is the HUGE BRASS BALLS the Spurs showed, to come back from such a huge deficit, to not get down after the buzzer beater, and then just calmly hammer the coffin shut in the OT.

Amazingly balanced, monstrous contributions from so many players, and coaching by Pop.

I think the NBA knows the Title belongs to the Spurs, it's theirs to lose.

[boutons]

Agreed, the context of this game, Nash coming back and playing great, Suns really didn't give anything away, they gave a great effort, and got beat fair and square by a superior effort from a superior team.

[ALVAREZ6]

Manu went crazy, I HOPE PEOPLE WATCHED THIS GAME AROUND THE WORLD!!!!!!


VOTE MANU FOR ALL STARS!!!!!!!, he proved that he is an all star

[Jimcs50]

For once we are in agreement. :)

[Jimcs50]

I am not erasing this tape of this game.

I am so glad I did not go to bed like I was tempted to do. :elephant

[smeagol]

Lets not forget Barry's threes in crunch time.

[Jimcs50]

I already addressed that in a thread to Brent.

[ducks]

best win of tghe year so far
because it was on the road
and the spurs lose on the road this year

hopefully this will help the spurs not to lose on road anymore

[Medvedenko]

Manu has 1 40+ game in the reg season and he's automatically an All-star...man, give you head a shake....put a few of those more games in succession and maybe..
Manu's the only reason I watch the spurs....but All-star...hell Jrich had 40+ this year...no ones talking to him about being an all-star.

STFU.

Manu is an all-star.

Clearly more exciting than Nash.

[Medvedenko]

1 game....damn...my boy Chucky Atkins is averaging 22 and 9 over the last 5 games...is he an allstar...hell no

[ALVAREZ6]

Is he exciting....

Yes he is averaging that but, how does he get his points....

[baseline bum]

My fav regular season game will always be the one when Mario was blowing kisses at the Rocket bench the whole second half when he erased H-Town's 23 point lead. The Utah game where Tim posterized Osterfat is my #2, and I give this one #3 all-time.

[pjjrfan]

I like this game a lot, cause the guys played with a sense of urgency and a never say die attitude I truly believe they never felt they were out of it, at least, I couldn't sense it in their play, they kept coming back, I'll admit I gave up on them when Tim turned it over and it went from 94 -90 to 99-90 with some 5 mins left but they didn't.

The only other game that I can think of that excited me as much was the win in Milwaukee in 03, which was the game when I knew they were a special team. I remember Cassell hitting a 3 to give them a 5 pt. lead with a little over a min left and during the time out Bowen kicked a chair, TD and Tony looked pissed and then they came back and beat the Bucks for the first time in a long time, they had lost like 6 in row to those guys. I liked even more cause the Bucks acted like they had just won the championship hugging each other and high fiving like they had just won something, and the Spurs came back and beat them. This game reminds of that game. They found a way, and defense started it all.

[exstatic]

The Utah game where Tim posterized Osterfat is my #2
That whole weekend in 99 rocked the house. It was a Sat/Sun roadie B2B against Utah and Portland, both games nationally televised. Unfortunately for Tim, the MVP ballots were due the previous Wednesday, and even though he thoroughly punked Evil, the die had been cast, and Tim lost the MVP that year. The effect of that weekend was the number one regular season high for me. I thought that would never be equaled, but if SA goes into Sacto and takes one Sunday...I dunno.

[T Park]

My favorite is the Spurs comiing from double digits at home, and Stephen Jackson blwoing the crap out of the Lakers in 02 03. (also the night of SOMEONE winning the dodge drop in the bucket)

this one ranks in the top 5.

[ALVAREZ6]

Man would I hate to be a Suns fan after that......

[sa_butta]

Gotta admit I gave up in the 3rd and also turned it back on in the fourth. One of the greatest games in Spurs History for sure. Ginobili's dunk was a jaw dropper. And thank goodness for Brent Barry's two big 3's.

[td4mvp21]

Man would I hate to be a Suns fan after that......
people probably said that about us after the Rockets game where Mcgrady had 13 in 35.

[ALVAREZ6]

True.

Or, when Fisher hit that 0.4 shot.

The Fisher shot was much worse.

[td4mvp21]

yeah it was and the worst part was it could have been waved off

[MaNuMaNiAc]

yeah it was and the worst part was it could have been waved off


How so?

[td4mvp21]

uh maybe because you cant TURNAROUND AND SHOOT WITH FOUR TENTHS OF A SECOND DO THE MATH

[MannyIsGod]

It's hard man, but I have to rank a few games up there besides this one.

The final games in 99 were phenomenal.

David's quadruple double is also pretty sweet in my mind.

And watching Mario blow kisses at the rockets bench is also sweet.

There are too many playoff games that exceed this one to consider it the best all time,but it's close when you only list regular season games.

[MaNuMaNiAc]

No reason to actually figure out which of the ten best victories is the ACTUAL best, I just think that this one ranks right up there with them.
