Yep - that never gets old! I still get tense at the end, even though I know how it turns out. It really amazes me how different Manu was that season vs. last season. How he could completely lose his hops in just a few months is beyond me, but then I guess those injuries and the time off during the summer really did have a profound effect on him. I truly believe he has one more incredible all-star season in him.
And, of course, Bruce's block at the end of the game was just sick.
I could watch that over and over again! What I love is how Hubie Brown's pure hatred of the spurs seemed to vanish as the game went on! I think he was on the Spurs side for the whole last minute of the game! I Am ready for another run! GO Spurs Go in 07!
Well, we got ours this year watching Manu foul Dirk to let the Mavs tie and then watching the Spurs completely empty in the overtime. My TV didn't hit ESPN until mid July after that one (partially because there was nothing really worth watching as well).Ouch. That was soooo painful. I couldn't look at the sports page for an entire month.
And dayum LB...why'd you have to put skinny, 6'9 Tay on not-so-skinny, 6'11 Timmy?????
If someone were to ask me 10 years ago that "the Spurs would win 3 les in 7 years but lose to the Mavs in heartbreak fashion would you still go that path?" I would take yes in a heartbeat! 10 years ago all I wanted was an nba championship.Having 3 is just amazing and we are still serious contenders as of now.
I agree, but it doesn't make losing to the Mavs in that fashion any easier at the time. Especially since I live in the Dallas area.
