Championship video is crap

The element of surprise on these DVD's is gone, and that's one thing I was concerned about because they showed so much of the behind the scenes stuff on the internet and TV, they basically left no surprise. That being said, I'll still get it to add to the collection.

The two Beautiful Game videos are incredible.

I have watched every title video since the 1980 Lakers. That's the only one I couldn't watch the day it came out.

They really are. I was just watching the first one earlier. The end where they're showing all the Spurs passing is just a thing of beauty.

TBH I really do not blame you at all, I would not be able to watch it. If I watched it now I would probably end up turning it off, even though we got revenge I still was not a big fan of that team. I hate Ray Allen and some other guys on the team.

How can you watch last years when there was no Championship DVD? I didn't quite get your post.

the heats

It was pretty basic but still worth watching and enjoyable. Honestly I am still just in celebration mode over the championship in general. The last couple of nights alone I have re-watched games one, three and four that I bought on iTunes. I'm still so in love with winning the championship..

All I need for my championship DVD tbh, plus the key winnings games (R1G1, R1G7, R3G6, R4G3, R4G4, R4G5).

The mini-movie pieces were pretty legit, too.

You would rather watch the Heats of last year over the Spurs title? That to me raises an alarm there lol, you are not a Spurs fan right? Obviously not.

When a Finals is such a blowout in that many consecutive games, the suspense just doesn't build. Even after the win, the Spurs didn't really act like they just won the championship. I've seen teams celebrate harder after winning the 1st round. I guess it's old hat.

They're trying to make it better for you :lol , either that or they are prolonging the delivery so you'd appreciate it more. I'll probably get it as a gift, but I'll stick to the youtube videos for a while.

Really? I saw Kawhi smiling finally and Tim looking like he finally got the demon of last year off his back and got his 5th! I know the games were not close but they looked excited as hell where I sat to avenge last year and Tim finally got #5! I saw Pop nearly cry on the bench after it putting his head down with his hands on his head, don't know what you saw but I saw a relieved team and one that was just on cloud 9 after it all.

I finally found it at one of the Wal-Marts here in San Antonio. Heading home tomorrow, so I'm looking forward to watching it.

As others have said, there are great videos on YouTube that are great. I can't stop watching them. :lol

Bro, bro, bro, you left off R1G4, holy shit, come on my man. R1G1 and R1G4 and the entire WCF is on Itunes.

I'll just wait for some ol' sport to upload it to youtube

Relief and elation are different emotions. The Spurs didn't appear elated, just relieved.

I guess man, they seemed very excited to me and having the time of their lives, especially Tim....... I guess we saw a different celebration. Tim looked the most excited, he always wanted #5 and you could tell. Manu looked happy as hell too, Kawhi was even smiling alot for once, Danny Green as well and Patty and so on who won their first titles, they looked elated, period. Diaw looked thrilled too.

The only guy that might have looked relieved was Pop, probably because he felt responsible for the loss last year and felt like he owed Tim one. Pop is also an old man, he knows the world is not long for him and he was taking it in, and really savoring it imo. It was an incredible scene. Our players and coaches have so much more class than the Lakers and Heat championship teams, you can see it all in the celebration

They were happy with the win, they just didn't celebrate like any other team would have. There was no jumping around, no crowd tackle at midcourt, no one jumped up on the scorer's table and strutted. It was low key for the most part.

No one said they weren't happy with the win. I said there wasn't much of a celebration. Look at 1999 and how they celebrated that win. Compare that to this year.

Everybody in the place was elated. All the players were hugging and jumping up and down. It was the loudest crowd I've ever heard.

I was there and can back this up, loudest crown in spurs history, it was deafening in there. Players were really into it because the crowd was so pumped.

Same here.

Damn that sucks. I wish the Spurs would produce their own video. They should emphasize the 10 or 12 best games of the regular season too. Ticks me off, I let a lot of recorded games scroll off the DVR in order to make enough room for the crap shows my wife records in anticipation of this DVD. ugh. Ahmad Rashad, yeah he is lousy. Remember that awful show 'REWIND.'
