I love the pic of Rasho and Bruce, the pic of Tony and Tim's AllStar Jerseys, Sean Marks"Thunders down a dunk"- he looked possesed in that shot..nice pics. It was a good season and I can't wait to see what happens in 06-07.Bring It On!!!
If Detroit loses to Miami, this'll go down as by far the worst season in franchise history.
That said, 63 wins will be a mark that probably won't be broken anytime soon. Pop will make sure the team goes thru some type of adversity next season.
Spurs needed like a four game losing streak or a locker room brawl or something. They weren't tough enough when the going got tough.
It should be in there.
His expression spoke volumes about this season. A season unfulfilled and full of disappointment.
even if we didn't win it all.. i still enjoyed the ride..
Don't you all agree that they were too relaxed?
You know all those jokes and smiling, a fake confidence....
And TPark the 63 win season without a rings gives even more dissapointment
Perhaps this got retired a bit too early?

That's like adding salt to the wound if that happens.
Cool pics though, Angel
Oh, come on timvp! I usually agree with you, but this is way off.
Spurs came back being down 3-1, and came back being down 20 in Game 7.
All this talk the Spurs weren't tough enough, or didn't want it more, is bull .
They just got a little unlucky, pure and simple. (And, yes, there is luck in basketball!) Mavs made their shots, Spurs didn't, and they win the series.
We'll be right back next year, and maybe the ball bounces our way then.
Finley can still throw it down with style when he feels like it, and wow I didn't know that Bowen had such a huge consecutive games started streak going. As physical a defender he is you would have expected him to wear down and become more susceptible to injuries as he ages but he just keeps rolling along.
To me, the highlights of the 2005-2006 season: Spurs grabbing Finley when everyone thought for sure he'd be going to Miami, Tony Parker making All-Star, and Bruce Freakin Bowen---to me he was the more impressive than even Parker this season. At the beginging of the season, I thought for sure that he wouldn't be able to keep up his defense as he has been in years past, yet he proved me wrong
Much better, guys!
Thank you!
Missed a few...
Spurs looked weak against the Kings. Spurs looked weak against Detroit in the regular season. When it mattered, the Spurs couldn't grab a rebound.
I never said they didn't want it. This Spurs team was hungry. They just hadn't faced any challenges until the playoffs. If you look at every championship team the Spurs have had, they've had rough patches in the regular season to build up their mental toughness.
The regular season was too easy and they didn't know how to battle until it was too late.
^^^^ what a sorry ass troll you are Leonard^^^^^^
highlights
tp making all star team
mike finley showing up in playoffs
duncan now finally looks healthy after all year with doubts
if duncan did not look healthy and back to his mvp form it would be a very long postseason
I was with you until there. I don't buy unlucky any more than I buy not tough enough. If you roll them by 20 points a game, you don't need any luck.
The Spurs simply weren't good enough to consistently beat Dallas. I'm chalking it up to matchups and personnel. If we get better, we won't have to worry about luck.
Sorry, but Luck is always a factor.
Or, do you think the Spurs somehow kept Horry's shot from going down in Game 5 of 2003?
Or, that crazy shot from Fisher with 0.4 seconds, didn't have a little luck to it?
I agree that teams shouldn't rely on luck, but in any game where there are so many factors in play, luck plays a roll.
And when two teams like the Spurs and Mavs were matched so evenly, luck plays even a bigger role in deciding who wins. Not the sole reason by any means, but one of many.
when mav trolls leave
Damn, this thread went from bad to worst. Even if the season was a 'complete failure', it was still fun to watch that series. I won't ever forget that, no matter how much it hurt.
Maybe that series against Dallas will be that mental toughness they need.
I ought to sue that Dallas troll. He made me spit soda all over my computer screen.
at the babies on the couch.
That is so wrong, but I have to give you props for it. hehe
Of course luck is a factor. But how much luck did we need to bury the Lakers in 4 in '99? Teams that are good enough don't have to hope the breaks go their way. The Spurs could have ended up with a le this year. But if they had, it wouldn't have been because they were genuinely better than other teams they played like the Mavs. That's what I want to see.
I have a wicked sense of humor this afternoon.
Thats why I thought maybe Sacto series would be a great chance for that test.
