We were soooo the better team and everyone knew it. That's what hurts. That ring should have an * for the Heat.
Leaving Duncan on the bench was absolutely the right decision. I'm taking that opinion to my grave goddammit.

Manu fouled Dirk
Barry got fouled
Not to foul in that situation was the biggest mistake and the most pathetic move ever by a coach, all of you pretenders can ignure it as much as you want but it cost us the most exciting le, cost us being now with 6 les and Duncan with another fmvp, cost Duncan to be consider right now top 2 player of all time... Someone who is not still crying and devastating by it he's not a true fan...
Had it happened the following year, I think Cojo may have been in the game for Parker. Obviously a better defender and a above average rebounder. I get the logic behind Pop going KL and Diaw at the big spots because of the threat of a 5-4 pick and roll involving Bosh and Lebron. If Duncan were in the game then Bosh probably have gotten an open three or Duncan would have been switched on to Lebron. Either way, that would have put Duncan out of position.
I agree. Right decision. Pop benching both Parker and Duncan for the first 5:30 of the 4th causing a 10 point lead to drop to 4 with Miami able to get back into it was just plain awful. I was screaming at my TV. He could have played Parker for the first 4 minutes and then swapped in Duncan after the timeout with Parker coming back in around the four minute mark. Both were the reason why the Spurs were dominating Miami, one should have been on the floor.
Age had caught up with Porker in 2014, too. He was garbage, but we still won.I don't believe if they win one they don't win the other, that's a postmortem rationalization. They could have won both. By 2015, the other chance to repeat, age caught up with Tony and its been an uphill struggle since then. And now it's almost a completely different team around new stars.
It's pointless to ruminate about this too.
Almost as pointless as Tony vs Manu threads, but I think those are the worst. Might want to continue chatting about all those that got away ...
it stil hurts
The Spurs plane got stuck on the tarmac the night before Game 1
Manu broke his arm on the last game of the season
The refs bailed out OKC in the 4th quarter of Game 6
The Pelicans beat us on the last game of the season
Dion Waiters committed a violation on the inbounds
T-Mac would have gotten the ring he deserved.
PEDs are gr8
TMac did get the ring he deserved.
Archduke Ferdinand got murdered in Sarajevo.
Back to back would have happened finally, tbh.
Doubt they win again if they won in 2013. The same fire wouldn't have been there.
It's always mixed with '14. It was awesome and unbelievable. The way they played was just inspiring.
However, '13 was also stupid dreamy. I couldn't believe "old, out of le window" Spurs were actually figuring out Lebron's super team, the first time they got the chance, 3 years into that super team's era. Winning '13 would have meant 4 FMVPs for Timmy. Repeating, 4 FMVPs and 6 les, and a repeat.
Can't Kobe/Phil that up.
People always say that Tim would have grabbed the rebound, but Tim also wouldn't have guarded the initial play for the three point shot very well because he wasn't mobile enough and Chris Bosh had already hit a game winning three earlier in the year (regular season) against the Spurs in SanAntonio. There is just no way to know if the Spurs would have won with Duncan in the game. It could be that they lose either way. Biggest problem was the missed free throws and confused play of veterans down the stretch that allowed Miami to get back in it. That's on veterans playing poorly when it mattered most.
Holy , not this again.
I never bought that. If they won in 2013, they'd have been plenty motivated to repeat, imo. 2015 wasn't a lack of motivation as it was just a tired and injured year after three straight deep runs.
Injured Splitter cost us a le run that year.
"Manu what are you doing.... l!!!!!!!!!!!!!!"
WTH Pop, what is Manu doing in this game???
That is what I remember.
agreed. they really could have won B2B.... almost did it... almost.
Porker stans still blaming Manu when their boy got emasculated by Chris "RuPaul" Bosh and dominated by Mario Chalmers.
Probably.
If Duncan was in the game LeBron probably would have hit the 3.
