And this is probably the case with Manu, too. Given his history of injuries and with the Olympics coming after the season is over...I think that this is the last chance for him to shine and play like an all-star. A championship this year and another medal would be the ideal way for his career to end...Let's hope this happens.

Damn. This is...depressing.
Broken record: Healthy and playing well in the playoffs, I'll take 'em. Probably the last time anyone has a chance to beat Miami for the next several years.

It's sad that it's come to this realization but it's the way it is. Every hall of famer has his beginning and end. This is the last year, I believe, we get to see him fully bring it unabated by other cir stances (health, age, decline, etc).
Till the Heat fill their PG and C spots they're pretty vulnerable.
We've been saying it for 2 years or so now and he still keeps bringing it. I can see him playing at a similar level next season, remember this is a lockout season so he's been taking a harder toll than usual. The Spurs will probably have even more frontcourt help then Tim has had this season (until now with the addition of Diaw), I can see them start the season with 5 bigs as the team has now and Duncan can afford a bit more rest even. Plus a full season isn't as taxing on a body as this lockout season has been with the 4 games in 5 nights, or 5 games in 6 nights, or 6 games in 8 nights and back-to-back-to-back's etc... These are not a usual part of most regular season schedules, excluding the occasional 4 games in 5 nights.
I Believe.
Yes, I was lucky enough to find my way to the ATT when they closed out the series (courtesy of two posters here, don't see em around here these days though, blondie and icemanfan).
Tons of fun, I thought I might have to go to bed once I got back to my hotel room that night, but as it turns out, once I got to my room, I could hear a parade of cars tooting their horns from about a block away. I followed the noise and found crowds of people celebrating in the streets-all night long.
Also had good times at the River-Walk parade.
I'm looking forward to the next celebration (whether I'm there or not, I know the city will be living it up).
I think we just had a Journey moment:
We've already seen this change in Duncan on the offensive end. The team now runs through Parker instead of Duncan. Based on this change, you might think that our run as a contender is over, and yet here we are.
Next year we will still have three team-oriented stars. We will also still have the best coach in the game (a hugely neglected strength of SA) and the best FO. The bench will still be dynamite and with luck we'll add a couple more pieces like Lorbek.
No way will we be the favorite, but with good health and a little luck we can be a genuine threat in the west.
DF5 sounds like the name of a band!!!
After the mavs got beaten out, I knew, we will win that.
Before that, I had worries too.
I don't how its going to happen but i BELIEVE it will.
Spurs will add a 5th this year!
And then we will repeat next year with Duncan leaving the NBA as a 6time champion
For those who are saying "Believe," please be aware that this is really what you're saying:
I BELIEVE in Matt Bonner.
Do any of you care to amend your "Believe" statement or offer evidence as to why you suddenly believe in the greatest playoff choker of our generation?

Still irrationally optimistic.
Still Believe
with this Manu and Blair/Bonner playing major minutes there is not a chance.
stop dreaming.
This. Manu needs a lot of court time to get in rhythm. IIRC, it took him up to the ASB from the beginning of the season to get into a groove and really play well. Spurs are going to need that Manu (the one before he signed his last extension) to make some noise.
Enough of the babying of minutes and egos (Blair/Bonner). SJax and Diaw need more minutes too to integrate and most of all, PLAY SPLITTER MAJOR MINUTES (and with TD). Hopefully, it's not too late and they'll have a long playoff run to gel. Rest is not going to help if they get bounced in the second round by a big front line.
Just like every year, believe until the last second, either getting a championshipor eliminated.
It's hard to believe when our head coach is stuck in his ways and doesn't learn. I can only HOPE last night was a wake up call for him cause Clearly last years playoffs weren't.
Nothing against Blair. He can't be the one to blame for his height. Pop needs to start Splitter with Timmy. They have 10 games left. They need to seriously get it done. Blair will flourish with Manu off the bench. I don't get what is so difficult about this.
You have Tim/Tiago play the Hi-Low action. Tim is shooting a ton of shots anyway, and Tiago is a post player. They are both very good passers.
