4.

Thank you Spurs on a great run.

For the team with best winning percentage in all 4 major sports, I'm pretty proud of what they've done.

Good thing is, they're not done yet.

Love the Spurs till I die, till I die, till I die....

This isn't it the Spurs will get another championship soon but its been a fun ride thus far..

Thank You Spurs!

Yay another WCF loss wahoo!

Lmao, oh well. In 16 official years, there's 4 rings and 12 defeats. Pretty good percentage among 27 teams, addition of Grizzlies and Raptors, then Bobcats making 30 in the span. I can live with that.

Really anxious as hell to see what happens this offseason... goddd why the waittttt ahhh here it goes again.

The greatest asset the Spurs had going in these playoffs was desire. And this desire will carry them back to the top if we retool the roster in the right way, with good health all around.

Timmy will always keep us close to the LOB. If he's got the right pieces around him, we'll have it again.

Believe.

They didn't want it bad enough in 3 out of 4 games in New Orleans. That may have cost them in this series...in which they laid everything on the floor and went all-out.

Great season. I am looking forward for our get reload refuel project. I can already taste the odd year mojo seeping in. Go Spurs Go!

:stirpot: "bubble, bubble, toil and trouble..."

Thanks Spurs for the great season! It didn't end the way we expected, but I'm proud of this team and I believe they still have some years left to get the 5th.

here's to one or two more of these before duncan retires: :lobt2:

I love my Spurs. (and this picture) :lol

What a season.

Not gonna lie though, this hurts. Man, tomorrow is going to be a long day of work. :depressed

The way it went down, and who beat us.

Time to refocus and reload.

Go, Spurs, Go.

Its been a fun ride with this group.


Make some changes, get some youth into this organization and lets come back ready to go again next year.


I cant wait to get it going, this season hurts, but what can you do? The age factor caught up with us unfortunately it seems.

Yeah, really hurts. It's gonna be weird to not see the Spurs play on Saturday, and into June...

And to add salt to the wound
Seeing Kobe celebrate and wear the WCF cap...
It's almost like a bad dream.

Hope there's a silver lining in this season let down.

I'd be easy to point to excuses but if there's one thing we learn from watching this group of basketball players bounce a leather ball around a wood floor, it's that excuses don't matter and anything you deserve you have to earn. No excuses. No shortcuts. Dedication to individual and group improvement.

Three teams are still left standing but I wouldn't trade one second of being a fan of the Spurs for a lifetime of fandom of any other team. From Gervin to Robinson to Duncan, this franchise has won -- and lost -- with class.

I would like to congratulate the Spurs for their four championships. But this ride isn't over. I just know there are more championships out there this team can win. The Spurs will get right back into the saddle next season ... and many of use will be here cheering, hoping and believing.

Thank you, Spurs, for another fun journey. It didn't end as anyone wanted it to end but the San Antonio Spurs will live to win another day.

Believe.

Can't add anything further to that!

:toast :toast

Have been and will continue to stand proud of this team.

The Spurs struggled through a gimpy season in a tough conference, and battled through 2 series. At the end, there was nothing left. Still, a few bounces of the ball and this could have gone to 7.

It was never about heart. It was about fatigue, age, skill, and bounces of the ball.

What a fabulous roster and an encyclopedia of basketball knowledge: Horry, Barry, Finley, Oberto.

If we can pick up three good players this offseason, we should be contenders again.

I love this team. I am disappointed, but they played through two series with nothing but determination. They pulled one out, and but for an unlucky roll of the dice, they might have pulled out another.

I can't honestly say I enjoyed every second - :lol - but I am proud to stand up and say I'm a Spurs fan. Through thick and thin.

I can't wait to see what they do this offseason, and how they look next year.

As always, Go Spurs Go!

Not to quibble, but when was the last time the Spurs lost in the WCF?

The Rockets in 1995?

Helluva run, Spurs...enjoy your summer...see you in November! :toast

This was the series where we needed Manu to be Manu. But with that nagging ankle injury, even Manu couldn't will his way this time.

Every coach will tell you the most important thing in the playoffs is a completely healthy team. Just didn't happen this time around. And it cost us.

Now, take a well deserved vacation, heal up, and get ready for next year. I have no doubt the Spurs will be right in the thick of things once again.

And I agree with everything that timvp said in the OP. Not much else that could be said. Guys gave us another hell of a season. Not everyone gets to watch their team play at the end of May. Seems we almost always do.

Have a good summer guys. You deserve it.

In mid Jan there was no way I thought they would ever make it to the WCF...With TP and TD hurt Manu was having to play out of his mind just to win games against sub .500 teams. For the team to come back from that, then suffer blow out losses on the road on a regular basis....take out PHO and NOH simply surprised me. Naturally I am disappointed that the season is over, but happy with the effort and the prospects for next year...they will be right back in the mix and with a few good moves and a little luck, back hoisting the trophy we all covet. It is an honor to be a fan of this team.

go spurs
at least they didn't crawl up into the fetal position like in '04.

I love this team and I love the fact that they will be in it every year as long as Duncan is on the team. We got counted out so many times this season and so I feel good about how far we went. It sucks not to win it all... I wanted the repeat soooo bad. But, we can just try again next season. After all, odd numbered years are our specialty!

GO SPURS GO!!!
