I thought this was a good take by Mohammed. Worth a read.

Good article. Glad at least he's excited

Great article. Can't even imagine the amount of pressure on Timmy, Manu etc for that game 7 in 2005.

Yeah, remember I was nervous as too on that day, 11 years ago

I really didn’t want to shoot the ball unless it was a dunk (lol).

That's funny and cool that he admits this.

I always liked ole Nazi; he wasn't a great but he could play. Thanks for the post.

Nazr was huge that year! No Nazr, no Ring imo

Thanks TTM, great article.

That series is widely denigrated for being boring and defensive, but games 5 and 7 were superb. Horry's 21pts in 18 mins with a bad shoulder saved game 5, but Timmy's grit in the 3rd in game 7 to get us back in the game was also something I'll never forget.

Thanks for sharing great read.

He was also on two bad ankles.

I was at Game 7 2005.

With 2:50 to go in this Game 7 (as I write this), and tied, this one is just as good. (Thank God I don'e care who wins. )

You must've been pretty worried when Spurs were down 8 in the middle of the 3rd (which felt like 18 against that Pistons D) and nothing was going right. But Timmy just kept grinding and grinding and turned it around - that 3rd quarter is a study in tenacity.
