No true. If spurs were only up by 2 with 6 sec left, heat would've adopt a different strategy.
True point. I guess for me it's the cir stances. Spurs are 3 wins away from an NBA le. I never thought I would say that again.

So they wouldn't have went for the shot at the rim they went for?
Exactly.
We lose this series and amnesia will set in.
And we had every chance of stopping them with 5.2 s left. Oh , we did.
Maybe.

Its also about mentality. If Spurs were only up by 2, the stress level would have been much higher.
Pretty much this.
TP's shot is bigger, imo. On the road against the Heat in the finals after he nearly lost the ball several times.
True this shot wasn't needed to win the game. But technically neither was Avery's jumper to win that series, Eliot's Memorial Day miracle to win that series or Horry's dagger to win a championship. But, you know......
Parker, because it happened in the Finals, though Timmy's shot was amazing
Exactly, if the Spurs go on to lose this series, the shot will just extend a series the Spurs weren't winning anyway.
At least Duncan's shot catapulted towards winning the series.
Parker's shot was on a much bigger stage but I would view it the way I view Neal's game winner against Memphis in 2011. A nice shot to extend a series.
Timmys shot
Duncan's 3.
Hated the Phoenix Suns back then. Everyone loved Nash and the Phoenix offense (underrated Tony Parker and the Spurs as always) and it was so satisfying coming back, winning that game with a bizzare Duncan 3, and then winning that series.
I don't think anything beats Horry game 5. Parker's shot bumped our lead from 2 to 4 while Horry got us from down 2 to up 1. VERY different. Horry's game 5 is one of the best clutch performances in NBA history, let alone Spurs history
How can they possibly be close? Tony's was in the Finals against the Spurs toughest opponent in a long ass time. Tim's was in a first round game against a mediocre Suns team. Not close. This is the biggest shot of Tony's career and one of the biggest shots in Spurs history.
It's more fair to compare TD's three to Manu's three against the Dubs than a game-clinching shot in the Finals.
It's a great shot. But Duncan's I believe was when we were down 3 and he tied the game.
IMO we still win the game even if Parker misses that shot.
there are some miracle shots, and then some shots to have an easier victory. totally different shots
plus Duncan is a center. IMO Duncan's shot was a LOT more impressive and bigger
we still win if Parker misses that
Taking away the obvious Finals > first round thing.
Duncan's > Tony's. Duncan making a three with no time left to tie the game and send it to a second OT, if he misses that shot the Spurs lose. C'mon that's pretty damn historic. We were up 2 when Tony made his, would have probably won regardless (actually we would probably got the offensive rebound)
If we don't win the series then it doesn't mean . So that should answer your question.
TParkers shot, no doubt because it's now.
Well to quote The Great Tim Duncan himself.. "because this one was now.." I thought Parker's was the bigger shot. We just came off of terrible plays by Ginobili and a horrible foul by Danny Green. The Heat were poised to make a serious run and Tony Parker vacuumed out all their hope.. over Lebron too.
Parker's shot would've felt more impressive if the call was better and more enthusiastic, and it wasn't followed up by both announcers talking about the review and how it should be waived off before admitting it was clean.
Anyway, a game tying three in OT is better than an insurance basket when you're already winning, I hate to say it. Finals is > first round, but Duncan's shot was more shocking and just felt crazy.
That's a novel way to cir vent the filter...
I think both are significant but I'd have to go with parkers being that its the finals against a tougher opponent.
as mentioned, should be more compared with horrys 3 in 2005 finals, imo
