Is it coincidence that all the bad miracles and wonders happened to us?

Spursfan being a spoiled brat per par tbh.

Every non Celtic/Laker/Bullfan will take 4 championships and 5 finals appearances if it meant selling their soul.

Also think about the disappointments the Celtics have gone through. They were arguably robbed of a series win against Miami last year in that atrocoiusly reffed game 6, and they were arguably robbed of a title from the Lakers with that atrociously reffed game 7 (Kobe's 6-24 game). Yeah, it wasn't 2002 game 6 bad, but it was pretty bad.

At least we missed free throws to throw away the championship. We had our chances.

that's the bullshit they want you to believe. in reality, the spurs are the most important thing in life.

Oh, and it sounds like you hate your life a lot more than god does.

It's far from 2005
There were not much lucky bounces and Robs 3pts was a set play or a broken one that spurs took advantage of

Jacob1983 has himself some competition.

I have two pieces of evidence to counter OP.

1. 1987 NBA Draft Lottery
2. 1997 NBA Draft Lottery

You gotta be there for shit to happen to you. It just so happens we always there.

you guys trying to compare this stuff to others things that happened in the past... but you only try to fool yourselfs, cause there is nothing that come close to that heartbreak, missing and misery feeling... you can't compare this to anything in terms of how much being close and having it in our hands... personally i am the biggest and the most pure Duncan fan in all world, we were on verge of winning the most amazing championship ever, a championship with pride, with wonderful path, against all odds, against the ring chasing culture of today... Duncan was about to get NBA ring number 5 with him MVP, the most special accomplish you can ever achieve - not only in sport but in all life, Duncan was about to getting the mark of the second greatest player of all time!
like you all i also thought before the last series that there are more important things in life than sport, but after the finals it just put things in prespective, there is nothing more important than Duncan and Spurst getting #5!!!

You are living, breathing internet gold, my friend.

I wouldn't say ALL. Here's proof:

1. #1 Picks in '87 and '97
2. Manu at 57
3. TP at 28
4. Memorial Day miracle
5. Kobe missing those FTs during the '99 playoffs
6. Big Shot Rob in '05
7. Game 7 in '05
8. Steve Kerr in '03
9. Jack hitting crazy 3s during game 6 of the '03 finals

A couple of thoughts-
Luck is luck- random
4 titles had a chance at a fifth this year and maybe a chance in the past to have had another. Outside, but not remote chance next year. In the playoffs they mentioned that GS hadn't been in the conference finals for 38 years!

Remember the Spurs are a small market team. They do not have the resources to "load up" like some teams have. Look at Miami. LA. Boston. Because of that the Spurs have never and will never have the talent margin to overcome random events.

We've been pretty damn lucky as Spurs fans. I am extremely disappointed at the finals. Just think if the ball had bounced differently at least once they would be champs. However if the ping pong balls hadn't bounced differently No Duncan....

Yes we're spoiled and we have a lot of rings. Never heard of a "bad miracle" before this thread.

No doubt I recognized it right off and I never noticed the OP before. He makes me raff!

Spurs were never able to do what other great teams have done: repeat. Bad luck is a part of it, and so are self-inflicted wounds. And so is getting beat by better teams.

I truly hope that there are not so few good things in your life that you can't go enjoy some of those and realize that the Spurs winning or losing has no effect on them.

We have a chance to repeat right now, Tim has two years' on his contract. He is not the sort to quit early as long as he stays healthy.

right now i can't enjoy life at all, after what happened can't find peace with myself, i don't know how i'm going to carry on... to be on the verge of feeling on top of the world, to smell, almost hold the ultimate happiness that exists in life, getting close inside me to the biggest euphoria feeling, but then all disappear... i really needed that feeling to be complete, it would have change me as a person, would have made me a better, bigger, stronger person... it felt to me that all the past, all my life and all hard times and bad things i go through in life were for this moment to happened, moment that i found out was everything to me, but than the ferocious ending, it felt like the world betray me... now it so tough to carry on, it make me see every moment in life with grey colors and with uninterested mind...

Our chance of losing that game in that position was less than 1%. And I bet almost of all the teams that lost in that position most were in the regular season. Miami needed everything to go perfect for them and we needed everything to go wrong. This is not on the level of Horry hitting an open 3 in game 5.

We still have 80% of our rings is one way I looked at it, more than most most fans will see in their lifetime.

Also understand not everyone can win. I think we also had about 80% of America rooting for us. We were America's team for two weeks! Everyone knows the Heat are paper champs only and we had them beat.

GET OUT OF YOUR FUNK MAN AND STOP FEELING SORRY FOR YOURSELF!!! WE NEED YOU FOR THE DRIVE TO FIVE PART DEUX!!!

Now I feel better!

the spurs were blessed to have tim duncan
tim duncan was blessed to be cursed with almost champion
