You forgot him holding the video camera tbh
We also don't know if it even happened.

And the bull ticky tack call on Bowen near the end of regulation in Game 4.
Was wondering how long it would take for someone to mention Parker. Literally the post right after the OP.
I will never figure out the league's obsession with trying to f*** us that year. One last match up between shaq and duncan would have been ratings gold. But nooo they wanted Dirk for some reason
2006
This was the last year the NBA seeded the three division champs 1-3.
Meaning the 63 win Spurs had to face the 60 win Mavericks in round two.
Denver had only 44 wins but got the 3rd seed for winning their division.
In today's formatting the Spurs would've gotten the winner of Memphis and Clippers in round two, while Dallas would've battled Nash's Suns in the semis.
I firmly believe 2006 San Antonio was their best team to not ring...better than 2013 even.
PS - this Dallas series was the one with the biased refereeing for the entire freaking series. The NBA did NOT want a repeat of 2005, which it should've been: Spurs Pistons II
And yes...as you can tell I'm still bitter about something that happened 12 years ago.
Good question 🤔
Big 3 plus Bruce, Horry, Brent, Finley
vs
Big 3 plus Kawhitter, Green, Mills, Neal, Tiago, Boris
I thought that too but you could argue, 2005 to 2007 was the only years where you can legit argue the Big 3 were at their primes. Duncan started off the year bad because of plantar but by playoff time he was a Beast. We also shipped in 2005 and 2007 so, 2006 probably was a championship caliber team as well. 2013 was Very good too.
but props either way for noticing I included the Peak's
I went back recently and watched all I could find of that series on YouTube. It was amazing how few calls the Spurs were actually getting from the refs in that series. Much different treatment than today’s Warriors receive. No respect for the dynasty in place at the time. You could tell powers that be were accepting the Spurs run through gritted teeth. Even Manu’s foul, though real, might have slipped by if that had been Durant on defense today. The league would have issued an apology for “missing” the call a few days later.

This is where I think the Spurs failed. You're right---Durant would have been given that call. The Warriors would have been treated more fairly. But, why didn't true Spurs ever try to become more marketable? More likeable? They prided themselves on being a boring team.,
Good stuff
jesus ing christ, you got me good with that one.
Seriously though, i always loved Brent. One of my fav Spurs from that era, dude was a playoff performer. I really hope it was just sexting and that Tony didn't actually feed Erin his french fry.
Erin was gorgeous, too.
It works both ways. If the Spurs had tried to become more marketable then whose to say Manu,Parker, and even Duncan's egos don't blow up. They might not have had same type of unity and chemistry that allowed them to stay together long term. I do believe a team like the Warriors will have chemistry problems once they are finally dethroned due to all the big egos they have.
You are exactly right with this. I'm not ready to let this fade out of my memory either. Most people don't know this anymore (or never did if they are newer fans). The NBA has been so manipulative over the years with ref bias/agenda and their endless new rules. It has cheapened the product greatly which sucks because this is my favorite sport and these are some of the best athletes in the world. Let them ing play. Jesus.
What about Tim Duncan getting hacked on the last play of regulation? Am I remembering that as clearly as I think I am?
Yeah, Tim got the rebound on Manu’s miss right under the hoop. His putback hit the underside of the rim because his arm was being held down in the front, with Dirk’s elbow on top of Tim’s head from the back. 2 seconds left when he got the ball, point blank range, and he couldn’t shoot because he was being held down. Sad.
I can already prepare for the flack I'm going to get posting this but I can understand when people have grown up with the bad habit of exclaiming "Jesus Christ" or "oh my God" or "Go* damn" and theyve done it whole life and are densensitized to it. Yall obviously arent Christian and dont care or realize that you're committing blasphemy (one of 10 commandments) each time u do it but when u actually take the time to type it out thats no accident. Non-believers wont care but for those of us who do its actually offensive and if yall at least consider yourselves"good" people try to avoid it knowing the majority of people do believe.

Thanks for posting.
Oh my ing god are you serious? Jesus christ that is such a weak thing to get offended over. Get over your god damn self, tbh.
Lol gods not real dummy. Are you 5?
