2014 Spurs was the best passing team I’ve seen since the 86 Celtics. There aren’t many teams that can beat a team like that cuz who do you guard when everyone can pass, shoot, defend and rebound? Was great to watch.

@@darryelphillip5219 They were a much more complete team than GSW they relied a lot on shooting and smart passing but they could punish you in the midrange with Parker and Kawhi and in the paint too with Duncan.

The pain of 2013 made 2014 so much sweeter. Any Spurs fan who went through 0.4, Manu Foul, etc knows the emotions. 213 everything was looking good for the Spurs. Parker's last minute shot over LeBron, Neal and Green barrage, etc. Then R.A. hits that 3. I still can't watch last minutes of 2013 game 6 in all honesty. Hehe 2014 was sweet I mentioned it was good enough to last me a decade. And now we got Wemby. Happy times!

@@userunknown1578 I'm a spurs fan, but I can't say that. The spurs had all the opportunities in the world to win that game 6. Look at all the missed free throws, and as I was watching the game, I remember seeing Pop take Duncan out the last play, while the Heat kept Bosh in, and I started screaming at the tv, knowing Pop should have kept Duncan in for rebounding, since Bosh stayed in. They make 1 more of those missed free throws, or Pop leaves Duncan in, they win the game. I could understand taking Duncan out if Bosh had came out, but there was nobody to rebound. Bad coaching decision. The Spurs had more than enough chances to win. They can blame no one but themselves. But I have never seen a more resilient team...to come back and win the next year after such a heartbreaking loss, was incredible. But everyone knows they should have had the Heat 2 yrs in a row
