I can't believe we actually won a game needing a clutch 3
Yeah, we've never won a game with a clutch three before.
in recent years we've been more of a victim
Which game are we talking about here?
game 6 vs okcQuote:

I think some would argue the Diaw shot against Dallas or Tim's shot in OT.Quote:

And that's leaving our traditional veteran 3pt. threat Bonner out of the equation as well as Tim waiting to make a 2+1.
I'd hate to be an opposing coach trying to defense these guys for one crucial shot against a play drawn up by Pop.
Probably because it wasn't that clutch? :downspin:Quote:

Manu got blocked by ibaka b4 the kawhi steal. :lolQuote:

Too bad he sucked in Game 7 last year, or we could be going for :lobt2::lobt2::lobt2: in a row.Quote:

Had it not gone in there wouldn't be a kawhi steal, westbrook would have been celebrating instead of chucking, and there will be no Timmy's redemption for Game 7's miss.Quote:

Diaws shot was, period! I agree without that we are not in the damn Second round.Quote:

Lol, we had a game winning 3 in 2OT vs Golden State in Game 3 last year, by Manu of course, dude is nails in crunch timeQuote:

You can't say that for certain. We were down two and if Ginobili misses, perhaps we get the rebound and a putback OR get the ball back after the Thunder's next possession. We would have had about 2 or 3 seconds left.Quote:

Manu was fantastic, don't get me wrong but he also missed a "clutch" FT that probably would have iced the game.Quote:

Looking back I think the Spurs blow the Thunder out if there was a game 7. Luckily it never went to that.
Manu's 3 was clutch.
KL is the one who gave the assist, after Manu gets a clean from pick from TIMMY on Fisher, knocking him down... sorta...
The spacing and execution is perfect.
Manu runs straight up towards the top of the Arc,
KL maintains his position on the left side keeping his defender there.
KL passes, Manu catches it in rhythm... PIVOTS ON A DIME.. he rotates leg and foot a shoulder witdh without straying into KL's defenders area, squares up and drains the shot.
If you watch the defender... he Stares at Manu when he catches the ball and is frozen for a moment... because KL is in his peripheral... but just as he's about to move...
KL hops back to the wing... to give MANU and out, and also perhaps in an effort to distract the defender.
Spurs go up 1 with 28ish seconds to go.
What's cool too is that Kerr is commenting and says he wouldn't be surprised if the Spurs went for a 3, to avoid overtime, as to not tax Duncan and Manu further, with a possible game 7 looming.
And then it happens.
BUT I SAY ALL THAT TO SAY THIS...
OKC has possession with Kevin Durant with the ball isolated at the top of three point line with KL crouched in front of him..
as he goes to attack he slips in front of KL who tries to pluck it up, but the ball ends up getting knocked away to...
Manu Ginobil... who grabs the ball and cuts up court and is fouled and then sent to the free throw line.
That whole sequence is special, it just wasn't one player, Manu and KL were in sync... pretty amazing now that I realize.
