Spurs programming heads up

I don't know that it was Timmy's greatest shot, but it sure is one of the forgotten gems of Timmy's career, particularly given the state of his ankles at that point. And it was ultimately more important than the shot he hit over Shaq in 2004.



The other thing I'll always remember about the 2005 shot in Seattle was that Duncan's shot stopped the clock with .5 left and every Spurs fan immediately remembered what Fisher had done almost exactly a year earlier. We also came perilously close to a repeat, as Allen got off a contested look at a three from the corner in time to win the game, and barely missed it. I'd hate to think about how life as a Spurs fan would be with a .4, a .5, and a Game 6.

lol we were at a GTG at a pizza place and after Duncan made it and they showed the time left, i immediately turned to TIMVP and said " they have .5" lol


I rank it as his best due to importance in winning a tough series then getting good rest before playing Phoenix, B his ankles were freaking trashed, no one remembers how bad his ankles were.

everyone ripped Duncan up for that finals series in games 3 and 4 of the finals, but he was operating ill guess at 80% MAYBE. his ankles were hurt going into the playoffs and they got re injured in that same game.

Recorded it last night, watching now. Forgot the Spurs had Rasho, Hedo and Devin Brown playing significant minutes. It's remarkable the Spurs almost won.

Also had forgotten how ugly the game was despite the classic finish.

Hedo Turkoglu is easily one of the top five most disappointing players to ever come through San Antonio. The guy was so immensely talented and showed so much in Orlando and Sacramento, just made his failure that much more disappointing.
Also Rasho outside of his foibles with not dunking, was a damn good player. Decent rebounder, good jump shot, very very good defender. However because he didnt f'ing dunk, fans shat on him.

That would've been the greatest game ever if the clock keeper hadn't of f'd up.

I must be the only one that thinks that his shot against OKC is his greatest shot...and no I'm not on the "recency bias" tip. If we all remember that game, let's be real, we were ALL feeling it quickly slip away and momentum shifting to OKC. This was a team that was our WORST matchup and had experience beating us down once they "figured" us out. Our heroes for the day (Duncan, Mills, Manu, Kawhi) had given all they had up to the point of OT but you wondered where the that extra push was gonna come from with Parker nursing his pussy per usual. And Duncan just took Ibaka to school. That shot allowed us to get our revenge on both OKC AND Miami. If we lose that game and the series...this "Beautiful Game" stretch is just cute spurstalk, but end the end would have bared ZERO fruit. Winning that chip solidified Duncan, Manu, Pop and Parker and started the hall of fame road for Kawhi. That shot was for the last 5 years of championship relevance.

Good post!!
