getting rid of that sack of rj for capn jax
Eventhough there are two more games left, I decided to just ask around to see what was everybody's favorite moment of this season?
For me, it was the game agaisnt the Clippers where in a matter of seconds, Gary Neal went from "butterfingers" to "f'n hero of the game"

The RJ trade is by far and away the best spurs moment of the 2012 season.
Seeing Tiago in the starting lineup for the very first time(?) is great too.
the trade
It's THE Trade. That's probably one of the best moments for the past 3 years IMO
You all have listed many of my favorites but I also loved Manu's behind the back pass to Leonard at the beginning of the year and Kawhi's dunk on Ibaka. Also, Parker's blow by on Blake was crazy crafty. Duncan's jam on the Mavericks and McRoberts was awesome too!

The Dallas OT loss gave us hope.
The RRT gave us confidence.
The RJ/Jackson trade brought us back to life.
The Diaw pick-up made us contenders.
Trading for a pair of balls.
I saw this team going absolutely nowhere and was pessimistic on this season almost entirely because looked completely untradeable. It still blows my mind that the Spurs saved $12 million and got a nice player in exchange for that ing cancer to the team. Jefferson was such an enormous weak link to this team.
For me, the following were the best moments chronologically-
1) Danny Green's and the role players' explosion against Dallas before a close loss. -
This showed us that the role players were ready to compete and to help out the big 3 to contend. Danny Green came of age and Neal proved that last season was no fluke. Splitter looked better and better and the Spurs contended without Manu.
2) The trade for SJax and getting rid of RJ -
This was the monkey off the back moment for the Spurs. We all expected that Diaw will be an acquisition for the fifth big position at the waiver deadline... but no one expected that Jefferson would be leaving so soon. This accelerated the Spurs' chances of contention like no other this season.
3) The Spurs' double annihilation of the Lakers after the humiliating defeat in the first game -
These two games confirmed that the Spurs are no championship pretenders and a legitimate threat to the le.
Here's hoping to more memorable moments in the playoffs.
Tbh, there's a lot of little moments and big moments that have made this season awesome.
Kawhi Leonard
Danny Green
DeJuan Blair finally getting benched
Richard Jefferson finally getting traded
Tim Duncan turning back the clock
Boris Diaw fitting in
Gary Neal's clutch baskets against the Clippers and the Celtics
Manu's assist plays
Kawhi Leonard's dunk
Blowing out the Lakers twice
The list goes on....

Trading RJ for Jackson was definitely the defining moment for me. I enjoyed Tiago Splitter's development, Kawhi Leonard's rookie campaign, signing Boris Diaw, Green and Neal blossoming into legit role players, Tony Parker's brilliance, but none of that was as emotionally lifting as the trade.
I wasn't too thrilled with the FO's complacency coming into the season. But staying active and puling off a miracle trade like this has erased a lot of my doubts. Beyond Stephen Jackson the player, this move also reflects why our front office is considered to be one of the finest in the business.
Favorite on-court moment is easily the bullet pass from Manu vs LA though.
Tony Parker's play against the Lakers game 2 out of 3. Everyone was concerned and rightfully so going into that game after the beating the Lakers gave on our own home floor. Parker's play was in question and he needed to play well for us to have a chance. It's fair to say his play was everything and more than we could have asked for.
The trade. But if it is in game, I'd say the 2 times we beat LA lol.
Too many to list, but my favorite has easily been my cute neighbor Sarah
There was a Spurs season. That is my favorite part. The fact that the Spurs have been so ridiculously dominant is icing on that cake.
Goodbye , you were truly pussy.......
every minute of TD playing like it's 2007, every minute of TP doing whatever he wants whenever he wants, every minute of kawai baiting and jumping passing lanes...
don't know why you all are saying the SJax trade though, he hasn't looked all that good so far tbh
the trade and the pass
Jax
TD resting all star weekend
Diaw
TP Skills challenge
The Trade = RJ for Sjax
The Pass = ?? dang it, which one is this one? Manu to Bonner against Lakers?
