But 5 years ago6
Only things that made it a little unfortunate were... a) no Stan Kelly, and b) boring Mike Breen
but... Tim promised if we went back we'd take down the Heatles, and we did
we won it all in the final summer I spent in San Antonio between my 1st and 2nd years at UNT. Taking summer classes at NVC. Free Valero coffee for the last time, on a class morning the morning after winning the championship.
Will never forget
But 5 years ago
I don't think we win B2B if we win in 2013. Don't think we get past OKC in '14 in that case.But 5 years ago
Pop always coached best with the chip on his shoulder, and he never had one of those the year after winning a le. I think that chip is gone for good now, for the record.
Yep. That loss in 2013 is what drove that team the next season. Their mission that whole year was to right a wrong.
Hard to believe that it's already been four years.
Kinda how I feel about it. I hate that Lebrick got a ring at our expense but at least our guys showed the world who REALLY was the better team. A ring in 13 and the Spurs wouldn’t have made it. Heck, they might not have gotten past the Mavs that year. They took it to game 7 and I wonder if there was enough fire to not get a first round upset again.
Unlikely we even get the #1 seed in 2014 if we win the trophy in 2013. So we probably don't get the Mavs. Probably draw Portland or GSW, win, and lose in the second round to whoever.
Damn, that's going way back. Wasn't he only at the SBC Center for one year (2003)?
Time flys. Can't believe that what 4 years ago.
Incorrect. He was there up until the end of the 2008 playoffs. His absence was extremely noticeable on opening day against Phoenix in 08-09. Perhaps not coincidentally, that was the first season opener we ever lost in the TD era, the only home opener loss in TD's 19 years, and one of only 2 total season opener losses in the TD era.
Thanks to kl missing fts
Rather lame, isn't it? As great as the Spurs run was, they still left something on the table: a repeat.
I still can't comprehend how they lost in '13.
Spursfans living in the past.
1 le in last 11 seasons spurfandom aint what it used to be
yeah. I was in attendance. One of the best le teams ever.
Really thought that team would repeat too. Sucks that the Warriors got their first of many lucky seasons that year.
Top ten all-time, imo. The fact that they're comparable to the 86 C's is high praise.
And Tim missing a gimme, just like he did at the buzzer in game 5, '05, Auburn Hills
Yesterday watching game 2, I told my non-SAS-fans friends "Well, the Spurs made the Finals just four years ago"...I'm afraid of the moment when two hands won't be enough to count the years
Popovich. Simple as that. Duncan had the best 1st half of his career and then in the 2nd half, he lets Manu run crazy turning the ball over and Parker out there playing to get finals mvp again. Nothing else to read into. And I'm not even gonna talk about his 4th quarter coaching
yeah but they won in spite of pop, buford, manu, parker, mills and green.
Wish they had threepeated from 2012 to 2014.. they very well could have; and see how the LeBron narrative would have gone.
Spurs have always had bad injury luck and ty reffing against them that prevented them from repeating. If we got away with the the Lakers got away with against Sacramento or got all the calls the way Warriorefs do, or had incredible injury luck like the MVPau Lakers or current Warriors we'd have repeated or three-peated too, tbh.
I still remeber Manures tank in game 6 of 2013
We cpuld have easily been rechamps smh
You're right, the way Pop coached Manu meant that he couldn't pull him when he was playing ty. Pop coached him like a Manu fanboi; he would not bench him when he was out of control.
