    I hate to see it come to end and honestly - I don't think it's done yet. I'm not blindly optimistic (haven't been for a while), but the Big 3 aren't done. I'm not happy with the supporting cast by any measure, but I know without a doubt that we'll see the best that Tim, Manu and Tony have in the next game and hopefully that's enough to gain momentum. Maybe I'm blind, but I didn't see defeat on the faces of Tim, Tony or Manu as the camera was panning across their faces at the end of the game. I saw fustration and anger - that's a good start given how poorly everyone has played.

    I believe that Memphis will have a ton of pressure on them and that will play to the Spurs advantage, but that's still not enough - the Spurs have always been the underdogs and that might be enough for them to escape this foregone conclusion. There's too much pride and too much success within this team to give up and they won't.

    I didn't think it would be successful, but Pop's strategy of outshooting other teams instead of focusing on defense is exactly what it will take for them to get back in this series and ultimately win it out. It's going to start with the Big 3 getting back in rythm, but it will also take Jefferson, Bonner, Hill and Neal hitting their shots like they have during the season. That seems extremely improbable at this point, but then again the Spurs have done some pretty remarkable things in the past 12 years and I'm looking forward to the old prize fighter getting one last knockout against a young, y opponent.

    Only the Spurs and their fans will believe it possible - that's expected. Believe Spurs fans - that's all there is left to do.

    honestly whatever happens after tonight is okay. We've been spoiled for quite a long time, watching a team nobody gave a about made each Championship that more special. However the Spurs are judged 20 years from now doesn't matter, the critics won't give these guys their due. We witnessed the best decade we'll ever see in San Antonio. Future generations won't be as lucky, consider yourself blessed.
