we won..
in this fashion
avenging okc, heat
gaaahhh
my life as a sports fan is fulfilled
Nice to see someone that is happy with what we got and not saying they need the Spurs to repeat next year to validate their existence as a Spurs fan :tu
My minds still in a state of shock,like when I think of the whole trophy celebration its like some sort of dream. After all those letdowns its like wow is the ordeal really over?
Closing out OKC on the road was delicious.
For real...we came back from that heartbreaking loss last year to do the following:
1. Finish the regular season 62-20, the best record in the NBA, and do it while playing everyone less than 30 minutes per game on average.
2. Win COY and EOY.
3. Knock off our rival Dallas in a blowout Game 7. (If not for VC's bullshit buzzer beater, we win that series in 5, but it is what it is.)
4. Cruise through perennial "thorn in our side" Portland in 5.
5. Take down the Thunder in Game 6, IN OKC, avenging 2012 and sending us to the Finals.
6. Get the Finals rematch with Miami, and utterly smash them in 5 games, with the largest combined margin of victory in NBA Finals history, thus avenging 2013.
7. Do all this while watching TOSB Kirby and the Lakers miss the playoffs and flounder in lottery land. (That was the icing on the cake.)
I swear, this past season was like a Hollywood movie...like the NBA version of Hoosiers or something.
YA GOTTA LOVE IT!!! :hat
Dallas 1st round exit = revenge
Thunder backdoor sweep = revenge
2013 finals heartbreak = revenge

The Portland series was so underratedly good... A bunch of media guys were saying Portland were too young and fast for us .. I just knew watching the Rockets series that we would smash them...
It was soo great to listen to their interviews before the series, all cocky and full of dreams and then them realizing how much superior we are
"their screens hurt" was funny also
"we"?
Of course WE! That vicarious living is the joy of fandom and investing money on tickets and gear and time out of your life to support your team.Quote:

I would hate to sit around, thinking I haven't lived up to Lil'mo's expectation because I live vicariously through my basketball team. Get real. I am pretty sure there are plenty of radical fans on here that would throw around "we" that live very fruitful lives. I have observed physicists, engineers, attorneys, oncologists, and all manner of other successful individuals doing just the same. Get over yerself and enjoy the win.Quote:

Something out of a movie script.
I still can't believe it either, it's amazing!!!!
I couldn't agree with you more. Just amazing!!Quote:

It was incredibly sweet, there were a ton of Mavs fans at that game and they all thought they were gonna win. They were talking trash before the game and really getting into it in the first quarter. When we started pulling away it was fun to watch them squirm. All of the spurs fans were making their lives a living hell, most bailed in the third quarter (and they all got booed out of the arena, that was great). The ones that didnt stuck around to talk shit, which was awesome, cuz we were up about 25 at that point. I kept yelling 4 rings and those fans melted down. Such a sweet, sweet victory, it was great.
I'm re-watching game 5 right now. What an incredible national anthem by Colbie Caillat. I watched it twice, it was so beautiful.

But we did it, and we made it look easy. It's a good time to be a Spurs fan.
The only way this postseason could have been more "perfect" would have been to play, and beat, Memphis instead of Portland in the 2nd round. But we took care of that one last year anyway, so it's no big deal.Quote:

I cant really blame Bosh for guaranteeing a win. A reporter asked him if they thought they could win tonight and he said something along the lines of I guarantee a win, if not our season is done, so he was kind of baited into it. On the other hand LeBron ran his championship DNA smack talk... what a faggetQuote:

Still beyond excited! I'll celebrate until the Allstar break....then it is on!

Yeah, don't forget that we broke the Heat big 3, and most of all for me : we retired fucking Derek Fisher!! With tears!!!
This is the sweetest part for me. Next order of business, help Lakers make the playoffs so we can retire Kobe & NashQuote:
