Win or lose, there's no reason why this is the last ride

Tonight is a huge game for us, we all know that. We let it escape us, our fifth championship.

It will be devastating if we lose, it will hurt for weeks, months maybe. We might not ever fully recover.

But, let's face this fact, our team is pretty young with the best coach in the league.

We will see our "big three" in a different way because Kawhi will become the Manu of the trio, Parker will still be Parker, and Duncan will still play his heart out for the next few years.

While tonight is up for grabs, anything could happen, don't think this is the last time we will be back in the Finals.

you hear it for a reason. you can be as optimistic as you want but duncan will be 38, and that's just too much of a decline unless you consider splitter baynes and diaw elite bigmen. manu has struggled mightily at 35, it's not like he can try to lose weight to have a better year like duncan. you can expect a bigger role for leonard but it's too soon to expect him to consistenly be a scorer while defending for 48 mins.
