Too many factors pointing towards the Spurs winning tonight.. Simple things need to be done and which had ed us in Game 5. Turnovers, Duncan's foul trouble, and OKC's ridiculous shooting which simply cannot continue.
Top all that with the Spurs playing average bball at best these last 3 games and something has to give. As long as the team is focused and comes out with the proper amount of energy, I truly expect a Game 6 win.
Wow. That's a great story man. That gave me a lot of inspiration and I hope the SPURS feel like this is it. Life or death. I too believe that we're going to see the biggest fight from this team we've ever seen. This is a huge test but adversity makes champions! Lets go show the world what we're made of.
I BELIEVE.
Timvp, do you think Green will be completely out of the rotation in Game 6? I can't believe that, gotta think Pop has to give him a few minutes to see what he can do. If he can make a shot, I prefer him over Neal due to his size, defense, rebounding, etc.
Great stuff Timvp. May god continue to grant you and your family strength. On another note the Celtics have set the stage for us with a road win in Mia. Hopefully this inspires us to duplicate.
What the face. Just yesterday you were saying we were done.
'I give the Spurs a 2% chance to win Game 6. Maybe I'll feel differently as this game gets further in the rear-view mirror but it'd take a got damn miracle, IMO.' timvp
'I just can picture it, tbh. I see Game 6 going down as an extended celebration for the Thunder's first trip to the Finals.'
'I just can't imagine the Spurs winning.'
'But in reality, I just don't think it works that way. Even if the Spurs get hot and the Thunder get cold, they've made hard-charging runs in every game. Without fail. OKC shrugs aside any hot streak by the Spurs and comes roaring back within a couple minutes.'
'I guess if the Spurs build a fluke-ish 30 point lead they may hang on but I just don't see it. Maybe I'm being emo but I just can't see it.'
'The Spurs have never really be a great back to the wall team ... even when they were great, tbh.'
All quotes from you timvp.. Every one of them. Negative prick. While me and only a few others were saying 'we got this we'll be right'
Massive loss of respect for you. Not cool man.
after reading that I'm back with ya. Lets do this! GSG
Take care.
Thanks for the great write-up of your amazing and humbling story. True, sports pales into insignificance by comparison, but that's what we do here, so:
In the old days, this team only played well with its back to the wall. If there's any spark of that old Spurs scratch-and-claw team left, it better show up tonight.
MUST TAKE CARE OF BALL.
OKC is a of a squad, but they can't shoot lights out EVERY night. Right!?!
MUST TAKE CARE OF BALL.
What were the odds of Tony, Green, Neal, Splitter, AND Bonner all going cold at the same time?! (OK, Bonner is a 100% choker, but everyone else?) They can't ALL lay eggs again tonight! Someone will get hot!!
MUST TAKE CARE OF BALL.
MUST TAKE CARE OF BALL.
MUST TAKE CARE OF BALL.
That's how is see it.
Tnx a lot for this!
I was waiting for this.
One game.
One.
"Game 3: 13-for-23
Game 4: 10-for-19
Game 5: 12-for-19"
aka, Championship basketball.
Remember Tony' quote that Spurs won't win NBA without Manu.
Well, Tony, Spurs won't win without you, either.
I started reading this looking for some inspiration for the Spurs struggle with their backs to the wall facing elimination.
Then I read of timvp's toughness in the face of literal death and ended up thinking that the Spurs' struggle isn't that important.
So is this analogy a failure? Only in a limited sense.
Thanks again for making it easier to take whatever outcome happens tonight. (And Go Spurs, anyway.)
That was an inspiring story man. You know I believed even after we lost game five but after reading your post that feeling just went up ten-fold.And here's to your health
Critical, self-righteous prick. He was being honest and looking at the situation from a purely logical standpoint. Now he's bring the heart.
I like this epic speeches
On the other hand, OKC has shot poorly from the 3-point line -- less than 30% in the games 3 through 5 wins.
Awesome post TIMVP! Very inspiring! Glad you are ok! God bless you! Not giving up on the Spurs! They will win Game 6! Never underestimate the heart of a champsion! Go Spurs Go!
in 1999 just before game 5 of the finals I was at dave and busters and started choking on a nacho. I thought "my God I am going to die before the spurs win a championship". I spit it out and the rest is history.
I like to believe in the law of averages. The Thunder have to cool down at some point. The Tim Duncan era can't end yet. Not with Garnett having a huge game. And Durant needs to be schooled in a little heartbreak.
tbh this is why I think the Spurs are still alive. OKC can't keep hitting at this rate. Long twos are the most inefficient shot in basketball and they have been drilling them with ease which won't continue imo.
All the pressure is on OKC tonight, most people have the Spurs dead in the water already.
It's going to be SA vs. Miami in the Finals, book it.
Also, turnovers. This series has been marred by careless mistakes by the Spurs. 20+ turnovers in the playoffs in unacceptable. If they can hold onto the ball they should win.
"Great moments... are born from great opportunity. And that's what you have here, tonight, boys. That's what you've earned here tonight. One game. If we played 'em ten times, they might win nine. But not this game. Not tonight. Tonight, we skate with them." - Herb Brooks, Miracle
