The_Next_Big_Thing Posted June 24, 2005 Report Share Posted June 24, 2005 This was one of the best series I can remember, and I remember a LOT of series... Jordon playing with the flu and controlling the game, etc.Congrats Spurs! Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
San Antonio Bengal Posted June 24, 2005 Author Report Share Posted June 24, 2005 Detroit gave us everything we could handle. They were a worthy champion and defending their title with everything they had. I really believe that had Detroit had the home-court advantage, they'd be repeating as champs right now.The last three games of the series were just awesome. Defensive basketball won't lead you to score a lot of points, but the last three games were so close and back and forth and back and forth. And Bruce Bowen's block with a minute to go... that was the ultimate play of the evening. Wow. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
bengalboomer7 Posted June 24, 2005 Report Share Posted June 24, 2005 You really think this is one of the best series ever.(I gotta get better drugs, I guess.) The halftime score was 39-38 I'm not a fan of either team(or any NBA team for that matter) but I am a fan and I say it was one of the worst ever. Only two good games out of seven. It was a really good playoff season in general, but that was hard to watch.Congrats to the Spurs, they were the better team. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
jditty47 Posted June 24, 2005 Report Share Posted June 24, 2005 this was far from being a great series. it sucked for the first 4 games, last 3 have been good. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Indycat Posted June 24, 2005 Report Share Posted June 24, 2005 That was a great series, thoroghly enjoyed it. I thought the Pistons would win the series, but the Spurs were clearly the best team in the 7th game.Congrats to the Spurs Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
richmond_mat Posted June 24, 2005 Report Share Posted June 24, 2005 What's up with Duncan getting MVP? That one really has me wondering. I believe Horry or Ginobili were more worthy of it. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
bengalboomer7 Posted June 24, 2005 Report Share Posted June 24, 2005 Manu dissappeared after the first two games and Horry just had the game 5 winning shot(just? huh) The "SERIES" MVP was Duncan Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
The_Next_Big_Thing Posted June 24, 2005 Report Share Posted June 24, 2005 Horry also had a key block, MANY drives to the basket late in evey game, and flat out was a spark plug giving his team energy every time he hit the floor. It wasn't just A SHOT. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

jditty47 Posted June 24, 2005 Report Share Posted June 24, 2005 24 pts, 10 boards in game 7 is a very good performance vs the defense that he was playing. yes he shot poorly but he dictated the game more than any other player on either team. and he was the spurs best player at least 2-3 times...and he really has only had what maybe one really bad game this series. unlike every other spur that had at least 2-3 very bad games.

San Antonio Bengal Posted June 25, 2005 Author Report Share Posted June 25, 2005 Some say Ginobli was the series MVP. Ginobli had great games in the first two games at home, but then slowed down. Part of it was the contusion, but the other part is that while Ginobli won't have a bad game, he will have games where he's mortal. He will go off and score 20-something or 30-something points and then follow it up with a game of 12 or 14 points. His style of play is one that leads to ups and downs like that.Some say that Robert Horry should be the MVP. It is true that he should get a 6th man award if there were such a thing in the playoffs. The spark he gave the team was great and when we needed him to score, he did. He did a great job, but it wasn't at the finals MVP level.I would like to give the MVP to Bruce Bowen for his terrific defense. Bruce doesn't show up very prominently in the box score. The way to gauge his performance is to look at the numbers of the guy he was guarding and see how much those numbers drop. The phantom of the opera, Rip Hamilton, was virtually a non-factor in the series. That was huge! And then his work when he switched on Billups was what sealed it all. Of course, maybe I'm biased since San Antonio fans have really taken on the image of the team with a defense first philosophy. It's probably seems really weird to the rest of you that we will just complain about a bad shot taken, but we will be jumping up and down, screaming at the players when they miss a defensive rotation.Anyway, back to the MVP. People forget that Tim had great games in the first two, but Ginobli stole the show. Ginobli slowed down after those first games. And then we'll all remember Horry's shot in game 5. However, it was a combo of Timmy and Horry that got them into a position to win. No Timmy = no win in game 5. No Timmy = very close games in game 1 and 2. No Timmy = no win in game 7. Sure, he had a bad night up in Detroit, but wouldn't you expect that from almost anyone when you play the current champions three times in a row on their home floor? No one will be great all three games, or even two. Anyway, Tim Duncan was the Most Valuable Player. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
