I think it's top 5 of the best spurs game of all time tbh.
This is obvious trolling again by 1 or 2 actual persons behind several accounts, but I'll bite. The Spurs in the second half looked like the Spurs usually did when Parker was out in various games from 2011-2013; they had to rely on highly coordinated and difficult ball movement and all players had to play well in order to make up for the loss of TP. Spurs were very close to losing that game.
It was good for TP to sit, because well, he was injured. He was great in Game 1 and +35 in Game 2. He played a great floor game in Game 5. But injured players don't play as well. If TP had been as healthy as he was in Game 1 or 2, Game 6 would not have been close. Spurs would have won easily.
Something that baiting and obsessed former-Lebron fanboys don't seem to acknowledge.
:lol out comes the sensitive enrique fans.
I loved that game. I actually put that game on (usually only the second half and overtime) in the background when I'm folding laundry or doing some other mundane household task. It helps pass the time.
even though it was a blowout..Game 5 against the Blazers too was one hell of a show.
Listen man, I'm not trying to take a shit on Tony..He's my favorite PG Of all time...I wasn't trying to be subtle, I know many people would think I am, but really no..
It just so happens that game 5 against the Blazers was one of the best games last year....
This has nothing to do with Tony. The best spurs PG ever.
I speak my heart out...
Sigh..
Thunder still scares me more than any other team, even this year if they are fully healthy come playoff time.
Honestly Spurs had no business of winning that game, but the whole team played out of their mind, got some lucky breaks and survived until Durant/Westbrook/Refs ran out of gas. Duncan/Ginobili managed to turn the clock back to 2005 for the final minute and OT.
I still think Spurs is the weakest top team in final minute where individual star power tend to outshine team work but this was one of the exceptions.
That was pretty much the championship series.
The Spurs played in control and made the right plays at the end. That's championship Spurs ball. Just go watch some of the championship Spurs teams. Championship teams know how to close those games. Anyway forcing Durant/Westbrook to run out of gas is a good strategy. That's the best way to beat great players.
It is very different from the previous championship years when we had prime Duncan/Manu for final minutes of the games.
To see Duncan/Manu outlast prime Durant/Westbrook (with extremely crafty minute management from Pop through the whole season) at this stage of their career is totally different.
Last year's game 6:(
