“The Last Time We Stood Here.”

Tonight, the Spurs walk into Oklahoma City for Game 7 of the Western Conference Finals… one win away from the NBA Finals.

And if you’ve been a Spurs fan long enough, this all feels strangely familiar.
Because the last time the Spurs stood on this exact doorstep… it was also against the Thunder.

Also in Oklahoma City.
Also on a Saturday night.
Also with a trip to the NBA Finals hanging in the balance.

May 31, 2014.

The game went to overtime.
And the Spurs survived.
112-107.

I still remember that unforgettable image of Tim Duncan wrapping Manu Ginóbili around the neck in celebration after one of the biggest plays of the night.

Exhaustion. Relief. Brotherhood. One more mountain climbed together.

That team was fighting history, age, injuries and a young, explosive Thunder team led by Kevin Durant and Russell Westbrook. Tony Parker could barely walk by the second half. The Thunder forced overtime. The crowd was losing its mind.

And somehow… the Spurs still found a way.

Led by Boris Diaw, the brilliant big man from France who scored 26 points that night.

Funny how history echoes.

Back then, it was Boris Diaw, the gifted Frenchman helping lead the Spurs to the brink of greatness.

Tonight, it’s Victor Wembanyama.

Different era. Different team. Same franchise. Same city. Same opponent. Same building. Same dream.

The last time the Spurs stood here, with this opportunity, they went to the NBA Finals.

Tonight, they stand there again.

Bring on Game 7.

Boldly going where no university has gone before.

There is a whole new generation of Spurs fans that are experiencing their first deep playoff run and all that comes with it. Here are 10 things I learned from our "previous" dynasty....

1. Enjoy the wins
2. Relish the highs AND lows
3. Embrace the stress, it's supposed to be hard
4. Support coaches & players through thick & thin
5. Celebrate responsibly
6. Cherish the fact that this team is just getting started!
7. Be passionate
8. Pound The Rock
9. Trust The Process
10. No city loves their NBA team like SA does & vice versa!

The Spurs have the ball down 98-88

• Refs miss a goaltending call
• Ball goes off Chet’s foot
• They ignore the coach’s challenge request
• SGA gets free throws
• Mitch Johnson is hit with a tech
• Lu Dort and Tony Brothers laughing on the sideline

Us fans deserve better than this smh

[The LLC Guy @JJFaces]

@SpursReporter All good points, except we all need to be honest with ourselves that he is playing defense on the perimeter much more frequently than usual. That is inevitably going to lead to less rebounds.

@SwipaCam @carterdbryant I always tell my youth players that athletes who cry are athletes who care. Learn to channel that energy into something positive, and it’s all good.

Pump fakes used to be used for space creation man.
This Kobe vs SGA comp perfectly sums it up!

Every year, I share this video of French caretakers who take sand from Omaha Beach in Normandy, and scrub them into the letters to give them the gold coloring.

They do this for all 9,386 US soldiers who died.

France also gave us this land as American soil. #MemorialDayWeekend

"Everything you hear about Vic is true. He don't want to see blue light after 9 o'clock, he reads books, he's not on his phone... He truly loves the game, he truly takes care of his body and out of all the things he does in basketball, he's a better person."

De'Aaron Fox is blown away by Wemby's intense dedication to the game at such a young age 💯

No one wanted to go to the high school dance with the girl, but the team captain invited her to go with him.

KC Concepcion in a letter to @NFL GMs before he was drafted: “A few years later, as I’m about to begin my NFL journey, I really do feel like everything I had to deal with as a kid — all of it together, not just one thing — built something in me that I can’t fully explain, but that I feel every single day.

Watching my mom carry everything on her own. Being the oldest, holding it together for my brothers before I even knew what that meant. Fighting to be heard … LITERALLY … every single day. All of that could’ve broken me. It didn’t. It made me someone who refuses to do anything halfway. Someone who doesn’t take the easy way out. Who doesn’t give anyone a reason to count me out.

Because I know what I’m made of. And I know what it cost to get here.

I also know that how I carry myself, how I treat people, the work I put in to be the very best player and person I can be … that stuff matters as much as anything I do on the field. I’m always looking to set an example. For my brothers, for my teammates, for my family. And for any kid out there who sees themselves in me. That’s never going to change.

I remember, when I first got to college, that first year at NC State, I was not going to be outworked. Ever. Springs, weight room, agility — I was always coming in first. Then, when it came time to move on from NC State to Texas A&M, that was all about one thing: I needed to be in the SEC, facing the best of the best, week in and week out, to become the type of player I knew I could be. This past season was even better than I could’ve imagined. And playing for the Aggies was the best time of my life. Coach Elko and Coach Wiggins have fully prepared me for what lies ahead.

Now it’s just up to me to go out and do my thing at the next level.” https://t.co/gW8WIsp7CX

The NBA needs to implement a "natural shooting motion" rule. If you move unnaturally to draw a foul it should be an offensive foul
