“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.

Ball clearly off of Chet Holmgren’s foot.
Mitch Johnson attempts to challenge directly in front of the official.
Refs do not give us the challenge.
This sport is rigged.
#AdamSilverBasketball
The refs need to be investigated:
🧱 Missed an OBVIOUS goaltend on OKC
🧱 Refused to let Mitch Johnson challenge a call
🧱 Tony Brothers then jokes with Lu Dort
Drake used multiple beats on ICEMAN from producers he discovered online, providing them an incredible platform. The album was then released to DSPs without credits in the metadata, so none of them are earning any recognition. Always credit your producers.
