Without the Big 3, the Spurs put up a great fight against a desperate Jazz team. They didn't get the W but a few breaks here and there and things would have been different. Regardless, there was a ton of heart on display and a tough-mindedness that has me believing in this team again.
Let's be honest, if Tim Duncan is going to win a fifth NBA championship ring, this is his final hope. He's not getting any younger and neither are his two star sidekicks. And when whole, this team has shown the ability to play with any team in the league.
If the Spurs can stay healthy, get vintage play out of the Big 3 and have their role players step up when needed, I believe the 2012 Spurs can achieve their goal.
For the final time:
Believe.

Red five, standing by.
Believe is in the air.
We shall win a ring. My word is bond homie![]()
But.. But.. The sky is falling!
I'm ok with irrational optimism.

Good thread for all those spoiled fans who enter tantrum mode after a spurs loss.![]()
Believe.
Yeah the loss sucked. Yeah, Jax and Green sucked. Yeah, Bonner once again missed clutch baskets.
But this was a bench (well most of it) that got it's ass beat by 40 against Portland. They played hard all night and almost got the win.
I'm liking the team chemistry right before the playoffs.![]()
Agreed. Spurs got this on lock.![]()
It started with it. It ends with it.
yup agree with all this couldnt believe though how much some fans on this site were crying and ing over this loss if anyting this game showed how real the spurs are to go on the road without the big three and almost win even with the refs screwing us is pretty amazing feat in itself
and GO SPRUS GO![]()
so I bet you thought I was really irrational when I said they would make a trade and it would lead to a le.
I'm definitely all in on this, love this team.![]()

Although that last 6 minutes was the opposite.
But overall, this team is edgy and passionate. They fight hard.
Nah, just figured you were trolling.......
It's a talented team. I'm not sold yet it's going to be used in the way that leads me to Believe
So, I'll keep you posted, tbh
Because it needed to be said twice.
"A great fight", "a few breaks here and there". How about this: They choked away a very winnable game down the stretch again while shorthanded (they've pulled that off so many times the last few seasons that I've lost count), couldn't get a call to save their lives, went a decent way towards throwing away their chance at home court throughout and thus made the road to the Finals that much more difficult.
And it's "The Last Stand", based on what? It's only "the last stand" depending on whether Duncan drops off by a decent margin next season and depending on how worn out Ginobili and Parker are after the Olympics. When will people learn that you can't just predetermine their demise because of Duncan's and to a lesser extent, Ginobili's birth dates? You've got to base it on their level of play. Every year they prove people wrong, yet the following season people write them off again.
Get with program.
Even if you're absolutely convinced that the talent won't be used the right way, you Believe.
That's the power of Believe
You're a fool to believe as long as Bonner remains a significant contributor. -- Captain Obvious
If the 3 are healthy, they will play hard. The others will follow.
