Quality Take tbh
People acted like our best player manu was not injuried. Also this is what sparked the hill for leonard trade
I thought the same thing too, thankfully that is not the case!!!
Hahaha, yeah, the great 2013 draft.
People can scoff at this years later, but it really was an ugly time for the Spurs in the Duncan era.
Duncan looked done. Parker said the Spurs were no longer contenders. Jefferson was still on the team. Bonner and Blair.
It's great that PATFO bounced back from that awful roster.![]()
Totally. I thought the Spurs' Era of Greatness was over, that we should celebrate how wonderful it was, but that it was time to blow up the team and look to the next generation. Timmy looked like he'd fallen off a cliff (it was after that season that he lost 25lbs, changed his offensive game and came back a rejuvenated player at both ends), Manu was starting to decline, horrible Richard Jefferson was clogging up the court and the cap (I HATED his re-signing), and Bonner was playing waaaay too much. It looked like the end of the era, and only arseholes with 20/20 hindsight pretend that it didn't. In fact, it was at the tail-end of a tough transition for the team into the modern style of NBA ball.
Having said that, what do we fans know about what's going on inside the organisation? Spurs management obviously trusted in their system and their personnel to make the changes necessary to reinvigorate the franchise, and that's exactly what Pop and Tim did. If only Manu had gotten the memo and not played for Argentina in the summer of 2012, we'd probably be celebrating a repeat right now!
It's a testament to Duncan's greatness that he went back to work in the gym and made changes to get in the best shape of his life. He knew without making changes it was over.. While the likes of Shaq and Barkley just got fat and lazy in the twilight Tim dug in and refused to admit to himself it was over.. He was rewarded justly indeed..
My anti-jinx worked like a mother ing charm.![]()
Tim Duncan is a warrior
