Does 5 complete you?

Spurs were down 0-2 and 1-3 in that series before coming back too, right? That was a pretty sweet series. I remember I nearly won the NBA Drive to the Finals thing that year, but I switched David West and Chris Paul for games 1 and 2 at the last minute, and if I didn't, I'd have beaten everyone by like 28. :\

I think it was tied at 3 with both teams winning on their home floor until Game 7 but it was such a nail-bitter of a series for me since Game 7 was in New Orleans and the Spurs had just looked absolutely dreadful in the three prior games in New Orleans...

Honestly, I was so good after '99, everything else has pretty much been a joy. Even frustrating like smallball and the centerpiece can't dim that. To this day, when the Spurs win a playoff series I breathe a sigh of relief. There were a lot of years the Spurs were really good and couldn't get out of the first round. Can't imagine what it was like for the really long-suffering Spurs fans who've been there all along.

I am good with 5. But I would absolutely love if we could repeat. It would shut that a-hole Phil Jackson up for good on Pop's legacy. He wouldn't have crap to say anymore.

want #6 so Spurs can shut up the "back to back" talk
and Duncan ties Jordan's 6.

Yeah, 4 was good, but still felt a little "incomplete" to me. Now that Timmy and the Spurs have 5, I'm happy. Anything more is just gravy.

This.

I still want that elusive back-to-back championship to put the nail in the coffin of all this Dynasty talk.

for a Fan it's effing great, something to brag about to your friends etc.. that you are rooting for such a great team, probably because the team is a reflection of how you see yourself or the values you believe in.

So the Spurs winning, how they accomplished it, through the whole span and saga of it all... and the resolve they showed to come back from the brink and walk away with the triumph and the validation, with all the depth and undercurrents surrounding the stories of all the players..

I mean it doesn't complete me... obviously, but it's like the universe telling me I'm on the right path and to keep going by showing me this example.

But I'm just a someone who is reading that story.

I'm so happy more so for the actual people in it... Tim Duncan, Manu, Pop, Tony, Bonner, Splitter, Kawhi, Mills and the rest.. that they don't have to be haunted by 2013, that it's now OK... just something that tests you, a trial to go through, the epitome of how it's darkest before dawn.

It's that energy and fuel, the simple joy, that their Victory gives, that helps to sustain us.. So when it's time for us to "go for our 5th" we believe that it's possible.

And If the Spurs weren't sharpened by the events of last year, driven by it... who knows if they could have attained the level of play they achieved and displayed during the last 3 games of the Finals.

They had the will and power to dig deep and came up with a diamond, a brand of basketball... that honestly feels like in a different realm than any other team...

The rest of the league is 5 years behind

Doesn't complete me, but keeps me satisfied for quite awhile.

No. I want 6.

RACE FOR SEIS!!!
