    Flashback to Game 6 in the 2013 Finals. Spurs up four points with the ball with 28.2 seconds remaining. Heat foul and, as we know all too well, end up winning the game.

    Tonight. Nuggets up four points with the ball with 28.2 seconds remaining. Spurs ... don't foul ... don't do anything ... and lose.

    Interesting timeline we're living in as Spurs fans

    It's Elliott, Manu and Spurstalk's fault I'm a Spurs fan, tbh. I blame all of you.

    Oddly the game was won/lost in overtime. Something about 8 turnoblis. The series was lost in game 7. We had plenty of chances. I am convinced if we won that we don't win in 2014. I consider it a wash, and probably the greatest redemption story in the NBA in my lifetime.

    Yeah any coach that still had fire to win. Not one that just wants to go home and drink wine.

    Parker then was what Mills is now. Pop subs Mills in for stops, no surprise there. Of course Parker was worlds better than Mills on offense

    2013 Parker was a borerline all-star player. Mills is barely G-league its not comparable.

    Parker actually did an amazing job of defending both LeBron's three and then going across the court to defend Allen's three. Plus Parker had what almost went down as the biggest steal in franchise history a couple minutes prior, tbh.

    Benching Duncan was questionable but Parker was still a quality defensive player at that point.

    2013 Parker was a borerline MVP
    Fixed.

    I'm not talking about skill level, I'm talking about status in Pop's pecking order, i.e. leader, PG, undersized on defense, has to be out there cause "corporate knowledge"

    RS maybe, but he wasnt an MVP caliber player in the finals. Leonard, Duncan, Green outplayed him. Maybe Borderline all-star contribution but not MVP

    Its not comparable because Parker was a "THE" system of the beautiful game. His elite penetration is how they came up with the idea and he was still valuable offensively. He deserved to be on the floor.

    Mills only good st shooting and hes out there shooting 13%, and is playing 16 straight minutes

    Imagine the relief the passing of every one of those seconds would've been, watching in rapturous bewilderment as Lebron and co simply let the clock run out without fouling.

    Must've been Denver fans tonight

    Pop knew we couldn't inbound the ball after a timeout anyway.

    Coincidentally he benched our best perimeter defender. Down 4 points, Murray went pnr with Jokic and lost Mills. Both Murray and Jokic were open tbh, and could’ve made the shot. Terrible defense, terrible decision to stay with Mills especially Mills didn’t do anything to earn the minutes over White. Just terrible, terrible, terrible coaching and execution at the end imo

    Everybody here still trying rewrite history and defend pop, trying to ignore the real and shameful reason spurs lost the 2013 le and everyone in the world know and lough about, the most naive move ever in sport to lose a le - Not fouling up by 3 last possession!
