As a TD fan I prefer 2008, but I think this game was more improbable.
Which game did you enjoy more, tbh?..
Hopefully the results of the series will be similar..Phoenix controlled the entire game in 2008, yet choked and lost down the stretch, which demoralized and crushed them..let's hope the Warriors suffer the same fate..

2008 by a hair. If the Spurs go to the Finals and win it all, this game will be the greatest non-finals victory in franchise history. IMO
Today was a better comeback.
Phoenix 08 was a better game.
A buddy of mine went to both and I asked him the same question. Said Phoenix was better cause the whole crowd was still there. A lot of today's crowd left when we went down 18 again late
This one by far
Game against Phoenix we were never out of it. Tonight, it felt like we got NO stops until the middle of the 4th quarter and it was literally impossible at one point to stop Curry. Plus, this game had more of a rollercoaster feel to the ending...I MEAN WE WERE UP 5...and MANU TAKES THE WORST SHOT HE's EVER TAKEN IN HIS CAREER. And then promptly follows it up with one of the biggest.
This one for the comeback, tbh. Plus, this was the second round.
Suns - beating Nash, Amare, Shaq, and D'Antoni was a of a lot more enjoyable even though tonight's comeback was probably harder considering how bad the team played for most of the game. Basically, it comes down to me hating the core of that Suns team more. I don't really dislike anybody on the Warriors except Klay Thompson
Great comeback tonight ... but that TD hitting three still gives me goose bumps
the TD three pointer was a better moment than any one play in this game, but this game >>
Both games were absolutely amazing. 08' is special because Tim Duncan of all people tied the game with a 3 to force a second OT. Tonight was awesome because we were down 16 points with 4 mins left in regulation and yet they came back and won...amazing. I can't choose right nowGive my heart a second to calm down and I'll get back to you...
08
Duncan 3 was >>> better than anything we saw tonight
I preferered Suns/Spurs 2008 more.
Our comeback in this game was more impressive, but the actual comeback part came in a really short span of time, followed by 2 OTs of multiple bad plays and demoralizing situations. I felt more like "damn they're gonna lose now", not, "omg they're in it!". Spurs/Suns I was just excited the whole time. . .plus it had the best moment of either game (the huge Duncan 3 over Shaq).
So I prefer the 2008 Spurs/Suns game because there was a longer period of stuff to be happy about over the last bits of the game.
2008 was a better game against better comp, but I was holding out hope for a miracle in that game.
I thought this game was ovah.
It's easy to be a prisoner of the moment, but I'll go with '08. This one was even less probable, though.
Let's hope the Warriors suffer the same fate and can't get over it, otherwise this could be a lot more difficult than most (including I) gave it credit for. I don't buy that that was just rust. The Spurs legitimately couldn't guard them, couldn't find a place to hide Parker and didn't seem to have a discernible game plan for Curry. Pop also played right into their hands by going small and playing ridiculous lineups.
We beat Phoenix, a rival team.
That Suns game was a bit better than this one. During the game tonight, I felt sick 95% of the time...until Manu put the cape on
This was a more ridiculous comeback, but '08 was against a better team.
As someone said, if this game propels the Spurs to the Finals (or better yet somehow winning another ring) then this becomes the greatest non-Finals game in franchise history.
Damn. I love this ing team. Wow.
I doubt it. The Warriors are way to confident. I think the bigger thing to watch for is the next game. Did the Spurs expend too much energy to win this game that they get blown out of the next game? It's happened before like in '06 when we barely won game 1 against the Mavs and got blown out in game 2.
Don't know if anyone else caught this, but both games have one similar play in common that I caught the moment it happened. The Danny Green 3 to tie the game in regulation looked like the same exact play that they ran for Finley to tie the game in the 4th qtr of that 08' Suns game....
08 was great but this game was way more impressive I still thought they couldn't win this game, this game I thought this game was OVER. Especially Curry 3rd quarter
The '08 game was so long ago that it is hard to remember the finer details. The Duncan shot was a bigger individual moment than any that happened tonight. Overall I'd take this game though. I thought we were done in the third quarter when Curry went nuts. I was waiting for Pop to throw in the towel and put in the backups. When they played even worse to start the fourth, I had no thoughts of a comeback. It was strange, because even as it was happening it never felt like we were going to win. Then the big shots started falling, and the rest is history.
IIRC we were never down by that many points vs the Suns in 2008. This one seemed well and truly over with a 14-point deficit that late in the game. Also the Spurs were able to execute well most of that game, and had the Suns figured out by the time the game to an end. This game nothing seemed to go well for us (scoring, rebounding, defense) - GSW had 21 TOs and missed 10 FTs in this game. Not sure if the Spurs have an answer for the Warriors yet.
