    Spurs fans are often criticized for not being exuberant during games, but Game 7 against the Pistons was the loudest I've heard it in the AT&T Center. I was a season ticket holder for years and saw many of the biggest home games of the Big 3 era and can say unequivocally that the energy, excitement and decibel levels were definitely unmatched by any other game I've ever experienced.

    The crowd was on its feet at least 30 minuets before tip-off - sometimes chanting "Go Spurs Go" or just plain being rowdy. It was awesome. I still think that Championship was the most special. 2014 was fantastic and offered retribution and closure, but I always thought the Spurs were better than Miami and expected them to win back 2 back. So 2014 was really just completing unfinished business.

    The Spurs vs Pistons was a match-up of 2 great coaches and 2 great teams and I felt the outcome was no forgone conclusion like the 2 previous Spurs les.
    Dad was there. Said the same thing.

    Rigged series

    Detroit should have won
    LA 2002 would have a stronger case since you are an LA fan, infact a way stronger case. There was no controversy around this Spurs Pistons series, period.

    What a game. Pistons were still within striking distance with a minute to go....wasn't really put out of reach until Manu had that layup and two free throws with thirty ticks or so left.

    I'm glad for Timmy that he got that FMVP and he still put up numbers that most players could only dream of...but he was still off that entire series. His hug of Robert Horry after Game 5 was very telling...he knew he had been bailed out.

    That FMVP probably should have belonged to Manu.
    That was the closest to seeing Tim timid and choking I have ever seen and he still came through in game 7 3rd quarter on, showed who he was! Hurt and all.

    The first two games he was great and then downhill from there and he looked lost a lot of times, you could definitely tell he was bailed out like you said from the hug and relief. We lose that series in 6 if they lose that game 5, I will always be convinced of that.

    I was at home watching on TV so didn't get the awesome electricity of the crowd--but this game was such a pressure game and going into the 4th with a tie and both teams fighting hard, it was so nerve racking. Even at the last two minutes, the game was in doubt although we held a small lead. Pistons were a worthy foe, but the Spur defense was magnificent and Tim held us together in the 3rd and then Manu brought us home.
