Seeing Dave go off like that reminded me of that Saved By The Bell episode where Slater and Zach got into a fight. It was kinda awesome yet completely surreal.

I remember that but for some reason I thought it was against the Kings
I remember this very clearly. Definitely one of my favorite regular season games of all time. I recorded the Local Broadcast and still have it with Greg Pappa announcing.
David Robinson goes off and Spurs come back after that. Duncan with the step back with the shot clock running down was awesome!
So did I, actually. That's...bizarre.Quote:

The Admiral was marching like a drill sergeant too, talking to that ref like he was a recruit that owed him some push ups :flag:
Like the way Duncan responds
Yeah, that was great. Makes me happy to see it (thanks for the post.)
Truthfully, it makes me a little sad too. I wish Tim could still move like that. As great as he is now getting by on brains, guts and height - man he was the best with healthy knees.
And I mean THE best.:flag:
One of the all-time greatest regular season Spur games. Great that it's been youtubed. I remember after that game going to the Blazers' board at the Oregonian and Blazer Fan was completely stunned. They were wailing, "Why can't we ever win games like that?"
Oh, and maybe the only time Tim was more ridiculously dominant was the Phoenix playoff game his rookie year.
makes me smile as soon as i see d rob beasting he only got mad like that about 5 times and every time our opponent knew you better back the f up, david robinsons body was freaking scary when he was pissed
tim was amazing my god we are a blessed team haha
I remember a game late in the 1995 season against the Rockets, when Dave REALLY lost it for a bad call. Dave sprinted right into the ref's face and was throwing air punches. He didn't get ejected; only called for a Tech, but the weird part was Rodman was trying to be the peacemaker. I wish someone had video of that blowup.
Wait a minute.... Felton Spencer used to be a Spur?
Awww how cute, the dawn of the thug look head bands.
While KG nuthuggers like to point to that playoff game where Garnett slapped Tim in the back of the head as him being a badass, the thing I remember most about that game was how right before it, David shoved Garnett aside like he was nothing. The headslap was KG trying to compensate for looking like a little bitch next to David.Quote:

maaaaaaaan....Ive been looking for this game forever, glad its finally been youtubed. I remember the front page of the Express News the next day read David 3:16 it was around the time Austin 3:16 (wwf/e) was huge and that was about the left in the 4th when dave got tossed. Spurs rallied to win that game. AWESOME find with a capital A.
:lol Samaki Walker
:lol Felton Spencer
:lol Derick Dial

This makes me wish there were more available recording of when the twin towers were playing together. God, I miss those days.
+1. :toastQuote:

Spurs front line of '99 would completly own the Lakers today.
By the way, people always underestimated Duncan's athletic ability. Just because he wasn't "explosive" and played "above the rim" doesn't mean he wasn't athletic. I always though he was very quick, great balance and silky smooth athletic. This clip shows some of that. Also, it didn't help he was playing next to a sculpted Robinson with his history of explosiveness I think, made Duncan look less athletic by comparison.
The Spurs could grind teams into the ground with that bump and grind stuff (Mario Elle was still there). David was 34 or 35 but still had a lot of spring and athletic ability. A lot different group than what is here now.
They could really defend.
A lot of the nonsense about the current Spurs being "boring" comes from those late 1990s early 2000s teams (Pre Tony and Manu).
Duncan was REALLY smooth at that point in his career.
One of the BEST Spurs regular season games of ALL-TIME....:tu. Great vid....
I forgot about Felton Spencer.
