I remember feeling a little worried about the team. Outside of Duncan and Robinson, they seemed so old. I think the pain of Timmy going down wiped from my memory details like ******'s decline and the defensive rule changes.

Ah the Chucky Brown year...
Damn I had no idea the Little General was such a little asshole. All I remember from that season was crying when we lost to Phx, was so young I still had unrealistic expectations even without Timmy.
Wtf do you mean older fans? That was just 15 years ago. We're not exactly talking about Wilt's 100 point game here.Quote:
Older fans ...

When I think of old fans i think of that decade in the 80s with Gervin, Moore, Gilmore, Mitchell, Robertson. Trying to think off the top of my head further who were on the team during that decade outside of the end of the 80s with David Rob, Cummings, Anderson, Moses Malone at the end of his career, Strickland, David fooking Wingate ha-ha.. Man I always liked Frank Brickowski for some reason when I was a kid. Such a great name for a basketball player. Some of these guys are stretching into the 90s though...
Repeat till Timmy got hurt. But surely thought we'd beat phoenix even without him.
They may have been limited offensivley but come the 4th quarter that D was like a boa constrictor till they choked you out.
That team were not going anywhere even with a healthy Duncan. That "Cakers" thing was meant to happen. The only thing standing in the way was the Blazers and they got robbed. If the Cakers does not advance in 2000, they would not dominate the West.
I think its best of think of the 1998-2001 spurs, not as the beginning of the tim duncan era, but more like the mid 90's spurs last chance at a title, with their young superstar in the making. Yeah, adding Duncan was huge, but those mid 90's spurs were real close to winning titles. Getting duncan extended that teams life, and ended up winning a title in 99. That was probably the best case scenario, getting one title. That 2000 team, 2001 team, were that mid 90s team's last run. Be happy they got one. The actual "build around tim duncan" teams didnt start until 2001-2002, when they added TP, signed Bruce Bowen, and were one year away from Manu.
I remember Wilts 100 point game and I am not old!!!! YET!!!Quote:
