Here is the list

http://www.nba.com/spurs/features/090831_top10.html

-----------------------

Hey everyone we're compiling the top 10 plays of the 08-09 season and wanted to get your input on them. Right now I have seven solid plays that I think will be in the top 10 for sure. What are you thoughts, any more you'd suggest adding? Thanks in advance.

Here are the seven in no particular order.

Ginobili block vs DWade
RMJ Christmas Day 3-point buzzer beater
RMJ and 1 vs Lakers
Parker buzzer beater vs Philly
Finley buzzer beater vs NOLA to go to overtime 4/15/09
Ginobili dunk vs Hilton Armstrong
Parker Parker crossover vs Barbosa

:toast

RMJ 3 pointer against Celts?

RMJ game winner vs the Clipps

George Hill dunk vs the Pistons

That's the one I was thinking of.

Parker's buzzer beater at the end of the first OT in his 55 pt game.

Malik Hairston Dunk vs the Cavaliers

Finley dunks vs. the Kings

Manu's first comeback game vs the Grizz dunk...

Tim Duncan's game winning layup vs. the Kings.

I loved Manu's block on Wade to be honest, but that's just me.

Forgot about this one. It's a toss between this and the Manu dunk against Armstrong

Or Tony's layup to tie it against the Warriors at the 1:22 mark.



But we could rattle off at least one play from Tony from nearly every game. That makes it really tough.

I hope we keep that guy, he's pretty good.

Manu's dunk on the Hornets

Tim Duncan's two consecutive dunks on Paul Milsap

Duncan's GW block vs. Aaron Brooks..no Parker and Ginobili vs. a completely healthy Rockets team.

I was at the game where TP hit that crazy buzzer beater against Philly. The crowd went completely NUTS. It was great! :tu. I had never been to a game where a game-winning shot ended the game.

Manu Ginobili's behind the back pass to Drew Gooden for the dunk should be on this list.

Drew Gooden's first putback dunk for the Spurs (seriously, almost no Spur has done this the past few years)

Pops mensah bonsu
1-10

What about Finley's half court shot vs. the Rockets??

Didn't Manu posterize Yao this season?

*for some reason it cuts out on number 10... will update when everything is working properly.

OK it's all good now. 10-1. Enjoy

:toast

Solid list. all my faves were in it.

The Manu highlights underscore his value to the team. He always seems to come up with a play during a critical juncture that gives a 4 or 5 point swing to the Spurs.

Mason was big for us early on too. If he ever develops a touch like that during the playoffs, we could see the second coming of Horry.

Mason and Manu?

I'm looking forward to a lot of post season highlights for the '09/'10 season. :toast

Nice work! :tu

YES. What a highlight reel. Love it.

Thanks for including Tim Duncan's game winning layup spursdotcom cause I recommended it.

Great list, great reel! Thanks, sdc. :tu

1. Mason 3 v PHX
2. Manu dunk on Armstrong
3. TP rainbow v. Philly
4. Mason and 1 v Lakers
5. Mason 3/Manu steal v Boston
6. Manu block on Wade
7. TD block on Brooks
8. TD layup v Kings
9. TP 1st OT buzzer beater v Minny
10. Finley 3 v Hornets

These were all great highlights! No surprise there. :toast

sorry, can't find it. i only found the 16 seconds vid on the net.

basically, the rocket bench reacted like "oh my god ! poor Yao"

Damn, that's a lot of buzzer beaters for one season; team was living on the edge. Here's to a bunch of 4th quarter garbage time in '09 and '10.

Nice video. Man, I forgot how many nail-biters the Spurs eeked-out last season.

despite how our season turned out, i still think this was one of the most fun regular seasons the Spurs had. alot of buzzer beaters, gamewinners, and newbies playing well.
