Gutsiest win of my lifetime

[unleashbaynes]

The last man of our big 3 just refused to lose. I will always love Manu.

[Horse]

And this Why more young guys need to play if we matched houstons effort these games wouldn't be close. Simmons did a of a job on Hardon. And if LA and gaysol are gonna shoot jumpers put dedmon in so he can block these punk es at the rim.

[cd98]

TBH, D Antoni choke job. Playing only 7 players in a playoff game that went into overtime. They had no juice. We'll take it, though. Hopefully he sticks w 7 the rest of the series.

[Spur|n|Austin]

Houston is a bunch of goty gots that each other in their got asses.

GO SPURS GO!!!!!

But do you still think they are beating the Spurs this series?

[Arcadian]

Man, we've had SO MANY of these situations as Spurs fans...game 5 in a tied series coming down to the wire...reminded me of 2004, except this time we got the victory

[DAF86]

Yeah, game 5 in the 2005 Finals was gutsier, especially due to the higher stakes. Game 6 vs the Thunder in 2014 too.

We had 5 future hall of famers on their prime on that game. Tonight we had 2 D-Leaguers, a 5 foot nothing guy, a grandpa, a 6'11" jumpshooting pussy and a senile man on the sidelines.

[RodNIc91]

I feel you and I'm still in awe, but to me the gutsiest has to be Timmy bringing us back to the finals in '14 along with Manu's 3. Plus the second half of that game was played without Parker.

[Shabazz]

Let's close it out in Houston.

[spursistan]

Never seen anything like it.

With our two best players out, Manu, Green, Patty and Simmons played their guts out to overcome the inside jobs of Oldpovich and Lapussy. You had me on the brink tears guys. Thank you.

[LoneStarState'sPride]

I'm a passionate enough fan as it is.....but that Manu block had me cutting onions a bit. Gorgeous.

I agree. Can't believe he only goes seven players. Rest of series will be tough for them

[SAGirl]

Those guys bailed them out big time -

Pau Gasoft was crap - he was supposed to set up a screen in the last regulation play and instead grabbed Capella's genitals

Pau screwing that play was luckily buried by the team clutch plays... but wow that could have been the game right there.

[Darius Bieber]

Damn OP must only be like 12 years old

Epic

That was a of a game. One of my favorites ever. I probably watched it about 10 times and it was a close out game on the road. Will always remember Diaw for that game and Cojo. It's still probably a favorite over this one tonight I think. Lamarcus down the stretch was ugly to watch. Nothing like Tim.

Yeah when you put it like that, I agree. Comparing that 2005 team to this one, it's like comparing the varsity team with a special needs team. This game had L written all over it.

That's classic Choke D'antoni.

[tmtcsc]

You type pretty good for a 5 year old.

[tmtcsc]

Anyone celebrating this win is delusional. Tonight was about a few guys showing 'character' & playing the best they could. It was ugly basketball by two teams, neither of which is good enough to win 1 game in the next round. This was about who SUCKED LESS.

TIL that celebrating a game 5 playoff win with 2 of your best players out is delusional.

[sasaint]

This win HAD to take the wind out of Houston's sails

Nah, they're encouraged. Going home for a W, then returning to SA where they have won one game and barely missed this one. Without Tony, and without a 100% Kawhi, a game 7 will be very hard for the Spurs to pull off.

[SpurOutofTownFan]

Game 5 of 2005 was probably top 3 games I've ever watched

[Spurtacular]

This game doesnt make the list. Glad they ultimately didnt choke away another Game 5 to an inferior team, though.

[testies]

In neither of those games we were as overmatched and outplayed as in this one, tbh.

Just think about it: We won the game with a 5'10" dwarf, a 40 year old and 2 D-leaguers.

We won this on pure will, effort and mental for ude.

[JR3]

I got emotional when I realized that if Manu wouldn't have been so clutch tonight, it would have possibly been his last game in San Antonio... and I think he knew it.
