Had to post just to acknowledge Shoog's post.
I raise a child now and am getting married so it's been hard to watch Spurs ball in the middle of the night.
But right now, it's so beautifull, it's like I want to be drawn in there and play with these players who play as one.
It's touching and beautifull, that's true basketball.
When the Spurs are in LA for next two series, they can smell the roses, cuz there are a ton of them around LA.
Nice post Shoog. I forgot about you, since I have been on a hiatus for the last 4 years or so. Good to see you again.
:toast
Really good post. I'm as competitive as humanly possible and probably nitpick as much as humanly possible too, but even I relented last night. I wasn't even the slightest bit concerned that they were losing that game. Maybe it was the massive lead/lack of time remaining, maybe it was my lack of confidence in the Jazz, the 3-0 series lead, the insane run this team has been on, or maybe it was all of the above, but as ugly as those final 8 or so minutes were, I gave the team a pass. It says something about the disparity of the two teams, no question, but that was about as bad as you'll see this team and they still won and they won in the fashion that people have claimed they haven't been capable of since their heyday.
I've been saying it for a while. Barring injury, it's going to take an out-out-their-mind performance from Bynum or James to keep this team from winning the championship. But whether this incredible run ends in a championship or not, I can already say that this is the most aesthetically pleasing basketball I've ever witnessed.
I also just wanted to post in this thread and say that the Spurs, this year, have made me feel like they did back in the early 2000s. I'm so proud to be a fan with the way they run their ball club. I just wish I lived in SATown so I could get more tickets to their games. It's no wonder why the players say it's a family, because even to huge fans like us, we feel like a part of it.
Getting JAX and Diaw changed everything... I just want to see them go all the way.
If there are any leftover NBA fans who still think the Spurs are boring......then they are just flat out Stupid!

Love this thread. Lot's of posters I miss reading showing up.
I'm enjoying the ride. I saw 99% of the spurs games this season, great run so far. Not making the WCF would be a disappointment, better than that is just bonus at this point.
I was so mad about the lockout that I almost decided not to get League Pass.Quote:

Actually Jax still hasn't really got going yet.
Roses smell pretty damn good tbh
The roses smell sweet, but screw that! Winning the next game smells even better. Keep focused and count the wins after it is all over. Go get that championship. One game at a time and never be satisfied with what has happened in the past.
It is not very often that a team of this caliber is gathered and of the same mind and motivation. Let us wait 'til the end of the season. Then, we will savor the accomplishments.
I think it will be even sweeter.
Those roses smell mighty sweet when the Spurs lead a series 3-0.
