It feels just like the first two: ing awesome. I like the fact that the Spurs piss off/turn off the casual fan. you es.
Think about it.
99 absolute elation FINALLY
03 UNBELIEVABLE!!!!
05, EXPECTED
Is that what it feels like, Happy, but, "Yeah, we were SUPPOSED to do that"
Does this one feel different because it was so expected after a fantastic regular season and a awesome playoffs???
While the other two, yeah you thought they would win, but, there was always that unknowing.
This one, everyone I mean, everyone I knew, even when they would lose, eh, its cool weve got this .
Seriously, does this feel different because it pretty much felt like they were gonna eventually do what they did?

I have intentionally *NEVER* dumped on you for your giving up on your team.
But give me a break. You are going to say you EXPECTED this now?
Jesus Christ, give it a rest already. You deserve everything people dump on you.
Any thread started by Tpark is null!!
Fickle pickle flopper!
For me personally....I will never feel like that. You never know when your team will win a championship so you can never take it for granted.Is that what it feels like, Happy, but, "Yeah, we were SUPPOSED to do that"
I think this was the most difficult playoffs of all. I don't feel like it was expected. The whole world was doubting this team and Timmy D up until last night.
03 they werent picked at all
99?? Somewhat.
But not to the degree this team was this year.
This team at the beginning of the year was a above everyone pick
I don't think that there's any less sense of elation with this one it's just that I think that there's a different set of things tied to this one. In 99 it was elation with "finally!", like you said. I think 03 was elation with vindication thrown in, this was an 82 game season that saw the Spurs beat some very good teams on their way to the finals in a decisive fashion.
This year feels almost like a coronation. There's the joy but you throw in things like Duncan joining the 3mvp club, Pop winning his third and the elite company that puts them and this organization in. You're starting to hear whispers of the word "dynasty" and there's very good reason to believe that hype. I don't know if there's a feeling of expectation to this le, as I think most people around here have felt that the Spurs could win the le the last five years.
this was far from expected. heading into the detroit series, i really had no clue who would be the victor.
the only times i expected a ring were in '00 and '04 .. and, well, you know ..
with TD being our ONLY bigman that we could seriously expect to COUNT ON entering the playoffs, and with his ankles being in recovery mode, no one can say it was expected.
Naz breaking out in the earlier series, and stepping up big in a couple of games in the Finals really turned the tide.
Props all around, but i do admit, the 1st one was so very sweet, and will always be the sweetest.
99 to you isn't sweeter??and will always be the sweetest
IMO I agree, the shortened season does put a tad of differentiality on it.
03 was IMO more fun than this one, because of the compe ive WF and beating the Lakers.
Beating the Lakers is what puts it over the top for me.
Kind of heavy, but I'll get used to it.
its a sweet feeling. any time you can win a le its sweet, favored team or not. you cherish them all and celebrate them all...never know when the fun times will end.
the only thing expected was tpark having no sack.
Expected?
Did you watch the playoffs? It was a tough battle and the Spurs could have easily folded an numerous points in the journey.
Expected my azz.
'99 was probably the most exciting, because it was the first.
'03 rocked because it was unexpected but welcome, and it was a sweet sentimental thing to send the Admiral away with a championship.
'05 feels like validation. I wouldn't say expected, anymore than I've expected it since 2000. But we did it. We did it through injuries and midseason drama. We did it through doubters and haters. We played what I consider to be the toughest matchups in each round of the playoffs. We played it tough, we played it hard, we played it fast, we played it slow, we ground it out, we screwed up but didn't get down, we recovered and we proved that we could beat the best offense and the best defense. We proved that Manu is no flash in the pan, that Parker can hang with the MVP, that TD is one of the all time greatest, that Bowen deserved to be DPOY, that Horry's still got it, that Barry's fitting in, and that no one on this team is soft or lacking in heart or fire.
So that feels satisfying and good. But overall, I'll say with Timmy D that this year, because it's in the here and now feels the best.
Guys, c'mon. It was well do ented.Expected?

T Park NEVER stopped believing.
This one means so much more because the final series the nba finals actually brought a leastern team that could compete. I knew the spurs were gonna kick the knicks' asses.
The second one holds alot of meaning for me, I was struggling financially and was home enough to watch all the finals games drink and really enjoy the finals. It was a great diversion for me.
This one is the most special you had probably the 5th or 6th best team in the entire finals in denver, the best team in the second half. Then you had a sonics team that matched up very well. Then there was an exciting series with the suns, even though it was the easiest.
Then came the pistons. Thanks to the refs allowing the det bigmen to grab td's back of his jersey and then strip him all series except in game 7 det was a great matchup. They were a great team and the hardest of the 3 finals opponents.
This one means the most. This series is second only to the laker wc semifinals in 03 in my mind (just cause I hate the lakers).
Any way since I couldn't drink last nite and get no sleep, I'm gonna watch the game again and drink my ass off.
No, he quit watching after game four.
yeah.Expected
Dont make it think like, in round 1, oh, this thing is over.
No.
What I mean is, being the favorite to win all year, the favorite in the playoffs, and the favorite in the finals.
Does that make it different than 03, where Phoenix was picked to upset, Lakers were picked to upset?
Not expected in the fact that it was a mere formality to play the games.
Definately THE toughest playoffs out of the three.
The winning team isn't allowed to make excuses. That just takes away from your win. Besides, if we're going that route, I can talk all day on bad fouls.
I choose to just congratulate your team.
I personally thought the spurs were the best team this season and EXPECTED them to win the al.
Who picked Phoenix to upset in 2003?
that's what i said. the 99 WAS the SWEETEST cuz it was the 1st.
i think i expected a championship more in 03 than i did this year.
rasho and the fear of not beating detroit had alot to do with that.
but in 03? The Lakers were crumbling, we still Had Drob, Manu joined the team. Kerr was gravy. That was a confident year, whether Pop wanted to say our Spurs were 'rebuilding' or not....
"It feels just like the first two: ing awesome. I like the fact that the Spurs piss off/turn off the casual fan. you es."
Well said!
"99 to you isn't sweeter??"
Isn't that what he just said?
"You deserve everything people dump on you."
And this is from a Piston fan.
"The whole world was doubting this team and Timmy D up until last night."
I agree that MOST onlookers were (TPark/TomFoolery that I know of), but I hope you're not puttin us in that blanket!
"This team at the beginning of the year was a above everyone pick"
What? The beginning of the year means nothing.
"IMO I agree, the shortened season does put a tad of differentiality on it."
Yeah, the difference is that a few less games were played in the regular season. It ends there.
You should change your name buddy.
I thoguth that we could definatly make to the finals. I knew that the Seattle would give us trouble. I thought that the finals were a toss up. and they were very close.
