    i thought they were extremely subdued at the trophy presentation, and based on the lockeroom pics, I don't think they were over celebrating at all. They improved as a team, finally won the WCF after getting screwed over last year, and now have 9 days to heal up before the final battle. I'm sure they will be really locked in, especially with Pop and the Big 3 wanting one more chance at this thing.

    Just my .02.....it's been 6 yrs since they got this far so I can understand it. If they reached the finals last yr too then I don't think it wouldn't be so celebratory

    Lol no. I remember watching the 05 or 07 finals do entary. During the celebration in the locker room after beating the suns in game 5, Pop said something along the lines of "celebrate this win, but to those guys who haven't been there(finals), it's so much sweeter once you win it".

    ps. pardon me if it was too far from what Pop originally said, it's been a couple of years since I watched those dvds.

    There's a lot of young guys on the team. Let them enjoy it. They have 9 days for Pop and Co. to tell them now they need to elevate their games even higher in the next round.

    After what happened last year, I don't blame them for celebrating.

    Didn't sit well with me either. Almost like they're just happy to be there.


    Look at Dirk with the forced smile, thinking "F this trophy." That's what I wanted to see.




    Or this:

    You guys find a way to complain about everything! Let them have some fun, they just swept a team who beat them in 011 and got some revenge to get back to the finals! Nobody expected them to be here at all so I am sure getting there last night was a very good feeling.
    After what happened last year, I don't blame them for celebrating.
    LOL I know, some expected them to get back door swept again and I am sure that put appropriate fear into them. They were not happy just stealing one there in Memphis, they had to go out there and get two!

    If I was Pop, I would tell the players to celebrate winning the west and then I let them a couple of days relaxing with their families/friends/girlfriends. This big break with 9 days off allow Spurs to do that. Players will be mentally fresh and ready after having spend a couple of days with their minds not focused on basketball.

    After that 2 days break, there still will have plenty of time to be ready for game 1 and for Pop to get players attention on what they should do. I think it's the best way for Spurs to manage these 9 days off.

    You think they're satisfied? Think they're just gonna lay down and die now? Think Tim Duncan is gonna let his team do that?

    No professional athlete has that mentality, much less a legendary winner like Tim. anyone who even thinks that. That's why they play the ing games.

    No they're not celebrating too much. That's crazy. This team is filled with a bunch of young players who have never been this far, of course they are going to celebrate this moment. You can't blame Tim, Tony, and Manu either for celebrating after taking 6 long years to make it back to the NBA Finals. Enjoy it for a couple of days, and prepare for the Finals...

    btw, that is why they had the young kids in the middle of the huddle, and DUncan and Manu were all the way in the corner. Not to mention I think Parker was not even there.

    yeah, they are celebrating too much

    Dumb thread.

    The Big 3 are mentally prepared enough that they will teach the young guys how to mentally approach the Finals.

    If the Spurs end up losing, it won't because you think they celebrated too early.

    Agreed. The goal isn't to make it back to the Finals.
    We're not the Utah Jazz, ffs.
