leonard's block and duncan's turnaround clincher was the best sequence
5
Something that Green did.
Most memorable play for me is Leonard's putback.
The most important play though is definitely Leonard's block plus Duncan's game winner.
Every play was big, but i'm choosing Manu's 3 pointer to get the lead in OKC..
The Game 5 sequence with Tiago's block, Patty's consecutive threes, then with Manu finishing it off with another three will be with me until I die. It was also the moment I lost my voice.
But as for a single play alone, it has to be Kawhi's block. OKC was destined to win that game, they wouldn't give up. OKC down by 1, the huge Ibaka block, the crowd screaming at an all time high, Westbrook on the fast break, it was DVD Championship material. But that Kawhi defensive play was just a big F-U to fate itself.
... i was assuming you'd cite an arbitrary play where the Green-Splitter duo adequately defended a pick and roll
I'm sure everyone remembers that rebound he got against Dallas. I mean, you know the one.
It was good recognition, good box out. Did everything the right way. It personified everything the Spurs are about.
Initially I would've said Manu's dunk with Leonard's putback being right behind it, but the more I think the more I wanna put Duncan's bank shot up there. Spurs were in a tight spot and if OKC won that game who knows what happens in the end. I'm one of the people who thought if the Spurs made it back to Miami they would beat them anyway, so Duncan essentially being able to put them there again is big, especially knowing what it meant to him and the fact that he turned back the clock in that OT. You knew once the Spurs pulled that out they were locked in and weren't going to lose to Miami.
Just my two cents tbh...
The Duncan turnaround was memorable, but when it was set up by Kawhi's strip of Westbrick, it edges out my next-favorite, which is Kawhi's dunk on Ibaka.
Prob the block on Westbrook.....that play more than likely saved the game/series/championship.
The putback dunk was when we were up by 20....it didn't save the game.
Duncan's shot was my favorite, tbh.
Ginobili's 3 in OKC was absolutely huge, as was his dunk on Allen/Bosh. Both had me yelling.
But Timmy's bouncer over Ibaka was a series-clinching shot in OT after a quarter and a half of crazy, intense playoff basketball. It got us into the Finals. I said before the OKC series that they would be a bigger challenge than Miami, and that proved to be the case.
It's worth noting that at this point of the game, I was pacing frantically in my living room, screaming instructions at the TV, and just generally getting a lot of weird looks from my girlfriend after the Spurs had squandered a 4th quarter lead and scrapped into overtime on Ginobili's three. The only time I may have ever been engaged more in something on TV was the Dagger in Detroit.
Personally, it was also vindication for all those shots that hit back iron, or bounced out, or swirled the rim for Tim like they did at the end of regulation in Game 5 in Detroit, or his layup in Game 7 in Miami. For once, he finally got the bounce, and it brought us 5.

Kawhi's block on WB was the most important for sure, but Manu's dunk on Bosh was when I knew it was over and the moment I naturally remember first when thinking back on it all.
I chose Manu's dunk over Bosh.
Would have gone with Kawhi's block on Westbrook had that play not been complete and utter luck. Don't know why Westbrook didn't have the ball higher. It's not like he didn't have time after he caught it. Was just another boneheaded play by him.
Diaws three........ As the Announcer said after that, HUGE.
eh, 10 years from now that certainly won't be the "the play" we remember that will defined our 2014 postseason run
I liked kawhi's dunk on ibaka after sidestepping KD and russ.
Gino's dunk cause i was there to see it live
still the most underrated play of the postseason on 2 levels
I loved all of them but the one I enjoyed the most was Splitter's block on Wade!
