The 2014 San Antonio Spurs 10 years later

[AlbertPullhoez]

Top 5 team in NBA history

Beat the brakes off a 2 time defending champ with 3 top 75 players

Probably one of the most satisfying title runs ever bouncing back after blowing 2 potential titles in a row (13 vs Miami, 2012 vs OKC)

They were on a mission that season

 

[kdslittlebro]

They carried the torch from the SSOL Suns to GSW.

 

[staticshock]

This has to be one of the most impressive titles in nba history


Back when I was a spurs stan

 

[Illuminatos]

This was some savage get back lol. They completely dissected the Heat.

 

[Da_Eggman]

Bunch of hoes

 

[Remote]

Would wash every 90s champion

 

[Boonapalist]

Great team but not top 5.

71 Bucks
72 Lakers
86 Celtics
96 Bulls
17 Warriors

All greater indisputably

Great team but not top 5.

71 Bucks

86 Celtics
96 Bulls
17 Warriors

All greater indisputably

17 warriors is just so disgusting all 4 of your hofers in their prime playing different positions on the same team, truly a thing of beauty.


Honestly I can't say with certainty 96 Bulls would win a series. And for damn sure not no spurs team ever

 

[Don Homer]

Greatest get-back in NBA history

won by the largest margin in NBA history. ball movement was exquisite

 

[Saint1]

This was the revenge tour after getting beat by Miami?



Everyone knew coming into that season they were locked in.

 

[Professor K.]

For as bad as the 2011 Heat get talked about, and rightfully so, I feel like this one practically gets ignored

 

[inndaskKy]

Greatest get-back in NBA history

No, that would be the 2016 Cavs avenging their 2015 loss (due to injury) by beating your 73-9 Warriors chasing history and talking sh*t ("got his feelings hurt") by beating them coming back from down 1-3.

 

[Marlow Stanfield]

Didn't like the Spurs until the 2013 series when they lost to Miami. When this one happened I copped a Duncan jersey off rip.

 

[Soldier]

2014 spurs vs 2015 or 2016 warriors, who wins?

 

[DraymondT]

As great as they were they don't belong in the same convos as GOAT level teams that some put em at. Going 7 wit that mid Mavs team wit Dirk, VC and Monta was a bad look. Ibaka missed the first 2 games of the OKC series too and they were 2-2 in games he played and those OKC teams had their number when both teams were healthy in the 2010s.

By 2014 we knew Heat was runnin on fumes and they defense wasn't close to what it was from 2011-2013. They still beat the shyt out of em in record finals margin but should be context. 14 Spurs was much closer to 12/13 Spurs than they were to any of the true GOAT level teams. Even the teams a tier below GOATs which Spurs not IMO.

Great team though never seen a team move the ball better and that was maybe the best ensemble team title ever. Damn near you could pick 2-3 different Spurs for player of the series in every round they had they was that deep and connected but that also a weakness against the true GOAT teams since they ain't even have a top 10 player. Pop's greatest achievement was that team and really the 12-14 Spurs run in general when it looked like they time was up after Grindhouse Grizz smacked em up as the 8 over 1 seed in 2011. He completely changed the team and offense after.
