If we win it all next season....

Does it make up for losing this year and we all move on and live great productive happy lives?

Win or lose a professional sports game, in a stable individual, and not one of the team members, should have no bearing on whether or not we live great productive lives! Our favorite team winning should be icing on the cake of our lives. If it has more impact than that then we need to seek professional help!
Sure, it hurts to lose, and that goes for anything, but it also makes us stronger if we handle the loss in the right way, it builds character, and faster than winning does, fact of life!
We learn the best lessons in life through our mistakes.
And we learn to roll with the punches.

[heyheymymy]

yes, and makes the win sweeter having almost had it the year before and finally getting it.

[peacemaker885]

Definitely...for me at least. As Tiger says "Winnings takes care of everything" ;-)

If the spurs took down the heat in the finals this season, then for me that would be vindication for last years finals.

Stop with this banal !!! You don't take this loss in right perspective, it's totally different than any dissepointed any team as ever had, it's not what doesn't kill you make you stronger type dissepointment, it's the end of the world type dissepointment.

[TheGoldStandard]

Regardless if they win next season or lose I'll be happy as long as the cir stances dictate that we did it right.. Duncan is in the game during crunch time, if someone is stinking it up that they're on the bench that we didn't lose the game by giving it away.

[SA210]

I'll be happy with a Championship no matter what. Still doesn't give Pop a pass for the last 6 years, or Game 6.

[Fireball]

It would make up for everything. But I doubt it will happen.

[bklynspursfan]

I'd be happier if Duncan got a le in his last season, then coming up short and going out disappointed. So if they were to win it this year and he decided to walk away, that'd be one of the most bittersweet moments for me as a fan. It would be easier to swallow last years loss if it happened. 2 straight years in the WCF it's certainly possible to get back there

I am a spoiled brat.

[TDomination]

Make up for it? Yes, I will be feeling relieved that we finally got #5 after coming oh so close.

Does it make me forget about it? No

Do you even know the meaning of banal? I doubt it.

No. Going 5-6 makes me think of what could have been even more...

Yeah that would be the only way. Seeing Lebron lose again the the Finals and walking off the court empty handed with confetti falling.

[SA210]

I hate that sa210 reminds me that Pop choked and didn't trust Tim Duncan

[Budkin]

Without a doubt.

[kobyz]

This topic is not relevant, Manu didn't want us to had another run... I still don't understand why Manu want to take away from spurs the possibility to compete for le next year, don't understand why he didn't sign for the minimum... Why Manu why?

[hater]

we won't win it all. so pointless thread IMO

LOL u blaming the wrong guy. It was RC who offered the money. RC just wants to keep San Antonio hispanic population interested in basketball that's all

I expected Manu to be the more grown up man here tbh...

[CitizenDwayne]

Of course it does. Anyone who disagrees is seriously delusional about all it takes to win a single NBA championship, let alone 5.

[Richard Simmons]

if it did, it would shut up everyone who says "lebron refused to lose". that got old fast

Even if they don't make it back to the Finals, the entire team(sans Manu) has nothing left to prove. Everybody played their hearts out and they lost. Ginobili's legacy is probably at stake though. It's bad enough that he cost the team a championship - if he continues to play like a TOSB on an overpaid contract, it's going to reflect badly on his now overrated career.
