I am proud of them too, all of them, even Bonner, they outdid themselves this year, far beyond expectations!
And especially since this isn't the worse loss in their history, nor will it be in the future, such is the nature of the game!![]()
The fact that they still were able to keep game 7 close was fascinating, because the game 6 loss was so brutal that any other team would have folded and been blow out. I still feel the pain, but I am still proud as well ...

I'm not disagreeing with that. I disagree with him. In other threads, he says that things are getting worse for all spurs fans and all of our souls are destroyed. He speaks in sweeping generalizations. I disagree with that.
See my problem with this loss was that it wasn't a choke job. Choke implies wilting under pressure. We simply did not do that. We got outlucked like a mother er.
Missing not one, but TWO huge free throws in crunch time, then failing to both a.) defend the 3 point line, and b.) boxing out with the game on the line, allowing them to rally from 5 down with the game in the bag is choking. Period.
I have to agree, and have said so a few times already, the whole team choked for the most part. To try and blame just one or two people is the epitome of naïveté!
You sound here very cry baby... "Ow no! He generalize me(tears tears)״...
You can guess by my name...
I went to my first game in 1978. It is the worse loss ever by a Spurs team, and the worse thing to happen to the team.
This guy continues to rally around his butt-buddies so that he can feel better about his irrational opinions. This guy is embarrassing, tbh!
True, until I come here and read on it or think of it then it's on my mind, otherwise daily life is alright. When I think Sports I think of it right now, only because nothing else is on I like and football season is around the corner. When the NBA kicks off, will be alot lighter on the mind and I will observe how the team might do next season with some new parts.
Lakers the year when Magic missed the FT's and failed to get a shot off was an epic choke job, they lost in 7. Pistons phantom foul was talked about YEARS later in a game 6 (Nobody fouled and they got FT's to win) and they lost in game 7. Knicks and Houston 94, up 3-2 heading home, KNICKS Blow a game 6 and lose game 7 on their floor. Lakers at home game 4, up 25 and lose game 4 in a pivotal game because they win the next one and instead of being up 3-2 they are down 3-2 going back to Boston. There has been games I have seen flat out blown since watching basketball, to be narrow minded and put ours by far the worst is just naive at some point. This is the most recent and the worst now, it stings like crazy NOW, but lets not forget the past because this is more recent. This did not define the legacy of Tim Duncan by any means, if anything it further boosted it being 37 and still carrying the team here and having the game he had in game 6 of the Finals, that did nothing to hurt his legacy at all! He is still looked at the same and a legendary player. Biggest choke job in Sports? Like I said quite a few other fans of teams will disagree, some blown finals games or blown leads in other sports hold up and hurt the fan of the team and sport as much as it does us fans in here, lets not be narrow minded here and think this is the only one by far that still stings a sports fan! Fans from all over the world might have their own version of this and one they think of.
It was a blown game and they blew the series with that set of events and everything went wrong, unfortunate but it did happen and it sucks.
I suppose but for the older folks perhaps Game 6 wasn't the worse choke in NBA history because of everything you sad but for the younger folks? For the younger folks like Me Game 6 was the biggest choke in NBA finals history. You've said it yourself before, Game 6 hurt more than the .4 Derek Fisher shot and the 2006 Manu foul because Game 6 happened in the biggest stage possible.
I think you are partially correct. For us Spurs fans, including myself, Tim Duncan did further boost is legacy by almost carrying the Spurs to #5 in Games 6 & 7. Real Spurs fans will always appreciate the greatness of Tim Duncan (except for the Popsuckers & Manu apologists.) Kawhi played well too tbh.This did not define the legacy of Tim Duncan by any means, if anything it further boosted it being 37 and still carrying the team here and having the game he had in game 6 of the Finals, that did nothing to hurt his legacy at all!

What about for everyone outside of Spurs? The media and other non-Spurs NBA fans will always remember that Lebron won his 2nd championship. They will not remember that Timmy played like a warrior in those last two games. The 2013 NBA championship further boosted Lebron's legacy in the eyes of everyone (outside of Spurs fans) but sadly not Timmy's![]()
God damn it... ing Pop and Manu!
Geez the troll here really do smell bad today
Maybe my definition of choking is different. Choking to me is suddenly playing completely differently than before. Lebron started choking for 40 seconds there (two terrible turnovers) and a three pointer that hit the backboard instead of the rim. Game 5 against LAL in 2003, even though we won, was an epic choke job by us that we managed to survive. 2010 game 3 against Phoenix was a chokejob because our players body language disintegrated because of Goran Drajic. Game 5 against OKC was a chokejob because Pop panicked and then everyone not named Tim, Manu or SJAX played scared.
But theres no way I'm going to call the Spurs chokers for missing two freethrows and for losing out on two rebounds, one of which Leonard and Diaw had their fingers on but just knocked it from eachother. Missed freethrows happen and getting unlucky ing sucks.
Well if my response of "DON'T INVOLVE ME IN YOUR ING EMO, WORLD IS ENDING, ATTENTION-WHORING", is me sound here very cry baby...well then i guess I sound here very cry baby.
First of all it's not emo, it can't be emo if it all natural and fit the world... And Second yes, you sound like cry baby cause you cry about nothing...
Whoo, that's emo determinism in action.
Freak, please stop! I don't belive it is this guy for real?!?
That's what folks have been asking you for days.
They were ing lucky. For example, this shot:
What kind of bull is that? Take away that shot, and we win.
I don't know why the I'm debate with you, you obviously not authentic in your take against me, and I don't think you at all a real Spurs fan, it look like to follow the Torros is a bigger priority for you and that say it all.
Ugh I can't stand watching a single highlight of the Finals.
It also take heart, determination and perseverance to be able to use the luck factor if he's there, the Heat had those a little bit more than Spurs, much thanks to Spo doing better job than Pop, staying more focus and working until the ends of games rather than 28 sec till the end...
