What does that do for Duncan and Pop's legacy? I mean, it's not out of the realm of possibility.
Makes them the GOAT choking franchise.

Nothing. If they win it all, it would only make them greater than they already are. If they lose, it's because Timmy's old. Mad?
MJ>>>>Lebron KD & Kobe

I don't think it does anything. They have been the most consistent franchise for the past decade. I don't think losing this series will change that.

Consistently choking since 2007. They have no excuses this year. Unless a Superstar goes nuts and takes them out. :confusedshrug:

if they lose they will lose a game at home and thunder will win every game you should win (3 at home), nothing extraordinary

Nothing. According to ISH they're already washed up and their window already closed 2 years ago

They're up 2-0 and won both games by a combined 52 points....and we're talking about them getting backdoor swept. Regular Spurs talk on ISH.

It goes two ways. :lol
Point being, a lot has changed since 2012. Spurs will definitely win one game in Oklahoma, and that basically kills the series.

I will reserve judgement until the end of game three. If ibaka returns and the thunder win then it is a series again. Backdoor swept? Unlikely. Lose a close series to a healthy thunder team? We gon see

Agreed, there's little OKC can do about Spurs winning one of 2 games in OKC with or without a hobbling Ibaka.

They've already won four. Their legacy is set in granite.
Anything after doing that is gravy on top.

If the spurs lose another game, regular season or playoffs, Tim Duncan's legacy is destroyed forever and he will finish 1 spot ahead of Kobe
It's IBAKA :hammerhead:

It ain't happening. If you watched the 2012 WCFs, the Thunder were already imposing their athleticism on the Spurs in Game 2. They made a furious comeback in that game, and almost got the split.
And Harden was a huge part of the athletic quotient that scrambled them. Don't get me wrong, put his and Westbrook's combined basketball IQs together and you'll end still end up with a total that is barely out of the range of cognitive disability.
But, the Thunder didn't need to be court-smart in that series. They just needed to be younger, faster and able to jump higher.
This year the Spurs are just better. With or without Ibaka, they're just superior in about every conceivable way.

They won't get backdoor swept. At absolute worst they lose in seven.

No James Harden and No Serge Ibaka this time.

Doesn't do anything to Duncan's legacy. The guy is like 8 years past his prime. Doesn't do anything to Pop's legacy either. How many coaches could take this team to a WCF 3 years straight? Most likely only Pop.

Pjax definitely, Auerbach definitely, Riley definitely, maybe carlisle, maybe Rivers

If losing doesnt do anything to Duncan s legacy, then winning shouldnt also do anything to his legacy.

It means that they'll be back for another title run next year again and they'll continue to shatter all the playoff team longevity records.

When a player is 38 years old and has 4 championships, 3 FMVPs, & 2 MVPs, winning another title & possibly FMVP SHOULD add to your legacy, while losing in the WCF to the MVP and a very good team shouldn't take too much away. That's my opinion though.

Only 2 of those are active. Carlisle maybe. Rivers no.

It's called playing above expectations. Playing this well at that age only makes him look better. When you're this far past your prime you don't have the same weight on your shoulders. And that goes for any sport and any athlete.

The expectation for them is to win the championship this year. They had the best record by far and they should win it. Anything less than a championship would be a disappointment.

So you're saying that losing in the WCF/Finals at 38 years old would hurt duncan's career?
