Spurs Fans Have Experienced the Finals Cycle

[timvp]

Won in 4
Won in 5
Won in 6
Won in 7
Lost one they had 99% won







Considering back in the 80s and 90s I would have cut my winner off just to see the Spurs win one le, I don't exactly feel sad right now. I feel terrible for the players and it's devastating as a fan but, damn, the San Antonio de Bexar Spurs have done more in the last 25 years than I could have ever thought possible.

[Seventyniner]

Do we need a containment thread for timvp?

I kid, I kid.









And you call it your "winner"?

[daheatin4]

timvp should retire tbh

[spursparker9]

Full cycle would include Lost in 4, Lost in 5, Lost in 6 too.

[SenorSpur]

Doesn't make me feel any better.

What the is this ?

[lefty]

I wish we didnt make the Finals this year

That was heartbreaking

[mudyez]

I was hoping for something better than that for my 2000s post, but:

I'm still so proud of this team. I will always love them! Go Spurs Go! I LOVE YOU!!!!

Doesn't make me feel any better.

I don't think it is supposed to...nothing short of waking up to a different outcome of game 6 would make me feel better.

Agreed. They pushed the whatever in his prime to elimination. Twice.

Somewhere there's an alternate universe where that happened . . . and I'm still partying my ass off there now.

I came to term with myself when I woke up yesterday around 11 AM after doing to sleep at 7 AM (spent the whole night reviewing game 6 in my head) You should do that too LJ

[phxspurfan]

Taking a shot tonight for every turnover Manu had. brb

[biziofromdowntown]

Are you kidding us? Post this thing tomorrow, please.

Spurs are now like all other great historic NBA teams - you win some finals, you lose some.

Don't feel too terrible for the Spurs players...they're gonna wake up tomorrow morning and realize they are still guys that get paid millions of dollars for playing a game.

That said...yes...the Spurs have had an incredible run...16 straight playoff appearances...5 WC Championships...4 NBA les...and the best win % of any pro sports team over that time.

BTW, the window is not quite closed yet...see you all next season!

GO SPURS GO!!!!!

Honestly, most old school fans I know are:

- Incredibly proud of this team
- Happy they got this far
- dissapointed - but still proud

Some fans here really need a taste of what rooting for a team like my Redskins has been like. You wait 20 years for your RG3 or Duncan to show up but in the meantime you go through sports fan . BACK ME UP SHOOG.

[Marcus Bryant]

Are you ers from SA? you.

[ezau]

Love this team still. No excuses.

I'm a Bills fan. I'm a Mets fan. I know how the other side is.

Spurs now have our 1986 Red Sox, 2011 Texas Rangers moment. Real heartbreak.

[dg7md]

What a strange concept, a "Finals Cycle".

Whatever, we lost. It sucks bad but we got the goods to bring it back next year. Heat got real lucky in Game 6 and even during 7 they got pretty lucky too with scrubs going off on us.

It happens. Just don't watch sports TV for a while.

Damn ing straight.

What a ride the past 23 years have been!

The Spurs literally changed my life when I decided to throw in a job I hated and go see David play in his final season in 2003. My life has only improved since I did that, and the Spurs are a huge part of it.

Thank you Spurs.

[The Whopper]

I don't think we had it won. If your strategy is to let the best player in the Association shoot then there's a good chance of losing.
