I want to hug you! It's really bad for most here, but I feel the same way about you as we all feel about Timmy.
Battier was a player who knew the system and T-Mac didn't, that's a big difference. Pop has built a system that has brought us four championships and as rigid as that system may be it works more often than not. My only gripe is that Pop deviated from Diaw. I still can't figure that one out.

Yes, it is.
From: 5/5 in NBA Finals, Duncan 4 Finals MVPs and lock on top 5 player ever, further legitimizing the "Spurs Way" by beating prima donna Lebron in his own house, tarnishing prima donna Lebron as a guy who shrinks in big moments, proving that the "get rich quick" method Miami used is a falsehood, further cementing the Spurs as the 3rd best NBA franchise of all time and best ABA franchise ever, putting Pop next to Auerbach and Phil Jax, solidifying TP as the best international player ever, etc etc
To: This. The unflappable Coach Spo and the genius Pat Riley and Lebron "finding a way to win as winners do" and Wade being a warrior and Pop being questioned and Tim missing the Ewing layup and should Ginobili be re-signed and can TP really be first banana on a le team etc etc
These are the differences in the narratives. So yeah, I'm still pretty sick about it and will be until next season's roster takes form and I can get excited again about the prospects of another run. For now though, sports suck and I need to step away from it all. This is the first thread I've read since game 7 ended.
Well said.
The Spurs have been playing with house money for a few years now. It seems cliche and somewhat of a cop-out to say they shouldn't even be here at this stage, but it's true. And even still, they should have won the le. The last part hurts, but it doesn't change the reality of the situation. Can't help but be proud of how hard they fought.
I don't think it's playing with house money when the Spurs had one of the NBA's best defenses with their starting 5. It's Pop who abandoned that defense when Spoelstra started Mike Miller. What the heck is the purpose of focusing on defense all season when you're going to abandon it when you need it the most? Don't forget a big part of defense is securing the rebound. Where was that at the end of game 6? Pop always likes to say that it doesn't make sense to change how you play in the playoffs but he goes ahead and does that.
I go with Gervin but Sean ******? LOL no. Silas? LOL no.
Duncan
Robinson
Gervin
Parker
Manu
It hurts like heck but you're not a true fan if you aren't proud of the fight and heart the Spurs showed this year.
