Tonight, we start to avenge .4.
Shaq has already had his serving, and I hope it was cold as a witches' .
Tonight, we stick it back to Kobe, Fisher, Phil, and the rest of the Lakers, and shove it right back down their throats.
Tonight is the first chance the Spurs have had for revenge, and I know .4 still burns in their minds. It should.
This is our best opportunity to vanquish this foe since Duncan drained the Forgotten Shot and Derek Fisher virtually ended 2004 for the Spurs.
Tonight, we not only will defend this le, but we will start to take back what was stolen from us in the past.
Tonight should be the night Spurs fans have been awaiting for years.
Tonight, we Remember.
Tonight, we Avenge.
Tonight is exactly why we all Believe.
Go get 'em, boys. And don't let them forget.
Oh .4, Spurs put that behind them and won another 2 les, i put that one behind me a long time ago.
Timmy will have his revenge
I haven't.
Neither have I.I haven't.
This series if of huge importance.
I am just glad it happened while Duncan still had ammo left in the proverbial chamber.
Pretty much any Spurs fan who sat and watched .4 unfold, and watched that le slip away, can't be completely over that shot. I've been waiting for another chance at the Lakers ever since, they just haven't been in the hunt.
You ask Horry...or Ginobili...or Duncan if he's completely over .4 by now?
I know what answer my money would be riding on.
Time to make em' pay.
Duncan has used it as an example of why he tries to not get too high or too low about anything that happens on the court. One minute he hit his shot, the next the series was for all purposes over. He's said it's better for him to not go to either extreme and keep it in perspective. Anything can happen.
I would think he hasn't forgotten it.
It's now or never. You're not going to beat the Lakers when Bynum returns.
Fixed it for ya...
you mean sam bowie III?
Me either. My hate for Fisher has done nothing but grow over the years.I haven't.
what is .4 and what does it have to do with the Spurs?
I really hope that's sarcasm.
You're ing with us, right???
There's really no way the spurs can actually avenge that series, unless we're playing the 2004 Lakers.
The spurs did redeem themselves in 2005 and San Antonio was able to defeat the piston team that the lakers couldnt beat, the year before.
So what is there to avenge?
So many reasons to root for the Spurs:
Jackson gets 10 rings if he wins another Championship.
Kobe gets 4 rings.
Kobe gets Final's MVP.
... and of course, Derek Fischer.
Bynum is only 20 years old. If he recovers 100%, which everyone fully expects, and is able to deliver what he was before he went down the Lakers will be the best team in the league. I am extremely confident in saying that because I know exactly what he brought to the Lakers in terms of defense, rebounding, shotblocking.....all the areas we are weak in.
Now if he starts developing into half the player I think he'll be it's just game over for the rest of the league. Your talking about Kobe in his prime paired with one of the best centers in the west, with Gasol, with Odom, and a much improved bench. If the Lakers can contend now with the team they have........that should tell you all you need to know about how good they'll be when Bynum returns.
I don't recall anything.
I really hope that's sarcasm.
Last thing I remember of 2004 playoffs is Duncan scored that last second bucket. Weren't the playoffs shut down after that play for some reason?
Good point...and while we're on that subject, there was no guarantee the Spurs would have beaten the Pistons in the 2004 Finals. It took them 7 games to do it in 2005, and they had a red hot Horry that year.
Tim, Tony, Manu, Bruce, and Horry were all on the 04 Spurs team. They remember.
Kobe, Fisher, Walton, and Phil Jackson were all on that 04 Lakers team. They remember.
One city full of fans remembers jubilance. Another city remembers heartbreak.
I remember what side I was on when that happened. And I know for damn sure that I want to return that emotion in full.
Yeah...all Western Conference games were nullified by the NBA that year because of rampant game clock problems, and the Eastern Conference Champion (Pistons) were awarded the le by default...or at least it seemed that way...the Pistons didn't really appear to have an opponent in the Finals that year.
The thing is we really didn't lose that series because of that shot. We played great at home in the first 2 games and then went to LA and played like for the next 2. We were losing that game 5 bad almost the whole game before we came storming back. What sucked bad about .4 was Timmy's epic shot, being wiped away by Fishers. But like i said they won the le the next year and for me that made it even sweeter, we put .4 behind us and won it all.
