We lost GM 6&7 because a 37 year old was BY FAR our best player on the court

[TheGreatYacht]

I've been saying this same thing the whole time, but some on here, I guess they are trolling, keep harping on it's only Manu and Pops fault, or it's the "end of the world". Either they went into the twilight zone and saw different games than we did, or they are seriously mentally deficient, or they are trolls. That's about the only thing you can infer from their "nutty" posts.

Need I remind you of something?

I don't mean to sound like a broken record

[Vash StampedE]

Every member of the team played well enough for the Spurs to win; it's just that everyone else didn't.

That about sums up what happened.

Duncan had great numbers the last two games, but he missed the two most-important shots. Leonard showed up offensively in Game 7 and had been solid there and great defensively for the whole series, but his missed free throw led to the Heat having a chance. Green set a record for threes in the Finals, but he missed a shot that could have tied it in Game 7. Parker played heroically to bring the Spurs back in Game 6, but his selfish play in overtime led to the team blowing two great chances to take the lead. Ginobili's game 5 should have been enough to win the series, but his Game 6 got in the way. Splitter took Bosh out of the series offensively and made the Heat the Big Two. But he couldn't score enough.

They lost as a team. If any one of those players had had just a little bit more in the tank, the Spurs win. But they didn't, and to pretend like everyone let down Duncan when the person who let him down the most was himself completely misses the point.

Say no more

Me right.

So are you going to die over this?

In another thread, he mentioned he's going to start cutting himself. So he's either a super emo attention spurs fan who can't deal with reality or he's an attention troll. Either way, he's an attention .

He's got to be a troll. no one over acts like this over a game.

No we lost game 6 because of a horrible coaching decision..

Game 7 we were lucky to even be close with the heart ache of game 6..

Again you trying to act too cool to school, trying to undervalue it, it's obviously somthing more than just a game, it's something that hold an unmatched happiness, something that define whole life and destiny. But You seems like someone without soul so it shouldn't being regard to you tbh.

[Spurs7794]

I think its very ignorant to say we lost these two games for any thing specific. Yes Manu sucked in game 6 but for all intents and purposes, we won the game. Yeah Pop made some terrible decisions but we still HAD the game. It took 5 separate things to happen for us to get ed over.

Thats the main reason this loss hurts...every other time we lost, I felt like the other team outplayed us. Here, the Heat were choking and we were the better team. Dumb luck just reamed us.

Eh, no.

It's a game.

I do think he's a troll but I think it would be hilarious if he was real. Makes me feel so much better about my reasonable fanaticism for the Spurs.

Just how old are you because no adult acts this way.

I would think the Spurs would be favorites, just not heavy favorites, and especially so if they can sign Oden and he remains injury free!

we are never and have never been heavy favorites. Right now people are putting a james harden-less thunder team over us.

[therealtruth]

Sickens me seeing people scoff Parker for being injured.

We wouldn't have needed that if Pop hadn't blown the lead by resting TP and TD too much.

[baseline bum]

Parker was resting because his hamstring was in horrible shape and he wasn't going to be able to play 45 minutes. The mistake was not having a short leash on Manu that game.

Basically.

VF84 Jolly Rogers in your avi?????? The helmet shows it all. That or VF-103?

VF-84, baby.

[Leetonidas]

You're talking about 1st-Team All-NBA member 37 year old Tim Duncan you ass. No he was by far the best player on our side, he is a top 8 player of all-time

[Leetonidas]

Parker had he not been hampered by the calf injury would've been close or better though, he had some huge balls when it mattered, too bad because the Parker haters could never talk again had the Spurs won

[Sean Cagney]

Which Jet? F14A Tomcat? Thats a legendary squadron there.

Your damn right.

[Rogue]

Duncan has nothing to regret though, he has 4 rings as opposed to none (Karl Malone ). He would've possibly won more rings had he joined a big-market like LA but would've never got that much love and respect from LA people as he received in SA imho. It's like, some young adults feel sad about Zhuge Liang for joining Liu rather than Cao (who would've given him all resources he needed to kick asses all over the country) but Zhuge himself had never regretted that decision, because he had already got everything that he could ever imagine, and he knew Cao wouldn't be able to give him more.

[Marcus Bryant]

man the Spurs lost at the razor's edge. It's maddening, but like that happens. No amount of fantasy armchair GM moves is going to change that.

[racm]

ROFL... RC Buford lands Kawhi Leonard, you remember, the guy who kept hitting huge shots in the fourth in Game 7 of the Finals on the road to keep the Spurs in the game? He lands him with a mid first-round pick in a really weak draft. And the Spurs front office sucks? RC drafts a HOF point guard with the last pick of the first round. He sees something in undrafted Danny Green, Green sets the Finals record for most threes. And this is all an indictment of RC Buford????

Technically Green was a second round Cavs reject and Neal was the undrafted guy, but your point still stands.

[kobyz]

Just how old are you because no adult acts this way.

Act like what?

[dunkman]

Duncan was the best Spurs player in those games, but Kawhi was good as well and Parker played decently too. However, Manu was horrible in game 6. It seems he was too tired after the effort he put in game 5.

[xmas1997]

Act like what?

Act your age. You obviously haven't been a fan of the Spurs for very long if this was your worst heartbreak.
