Throwback Thursday: 2003 NBA Finals - Game 1

[boutons_deux]

That was in the WCF, not the Finals.

IIRC, a bad creme brulee was blamed

[baseline bum]

Thanks for the video, I wish I had gone to this game instead I went to game 2. My only finals experience. Really sucks that they lost that game but still had fun.

That was a of a game though. I was in shock when Jack's 3 rimmed out, I thought that game was won the second he released it based on how clutch he had been all year. God damn I wish Pop would have given Jack that long term deal. No way Dallas beats the Spurs in 06 with Jack on the team and he couldn't possibly have been as cold as Turkoglu was in that 04 series with LA.

You're crazy. The Spurs going into Staples and making Bryant and Fisher cry after a 28 point beatdown in an elimination game was amazing to see. That game was probably my favorite Tim Duncan performance ever. LA could not do to guard him. And watching Parker shred them all game in his second year in the league was pretty amazing too.

I remember it well. I attended "The Crying Game" at Staples.

It denied the Lakers a "Fourpeat."

It was the first series the Lakers ever lost at Staples.

It broke a 13 series playoff winning streak for the Lakers.

It broke a 25 series playoff winning streak for Phil Jackson.

It ended any trace of PJ's "asterisk."

And I was there to personally retire the asterisk (see my avatar or whatever the it's called).

I still can't believe you got a ticket to that game just walking up to the ticket booth before it. I was dying laughing when Tod Tango posted that video of you crumpling up the asterisks behind Walton and company.

That's still gotta be my second favorite Spurs game ever, only behind Kawhi going nuts in Game 3 in Miami.

There you go, at the 1:55:30 mark

[Arcadian]

I remember this series for the Duncan quad double (minus 2 blocks that actually happened but weren't recorded)

Reporter: "Did you know you were 2 blocks away from a quadruple double?"

Tim: "Oh really? That's cool."

i remember Jax BARELY missing a game winning 3 pointer at the buzzer of game 2

God, that's some hideous basketball
