Kawhi Leonard is so great at defense, he's actually hurting the Spurs: http://www.cbssports.com/nba/news/kawhi ... the-spurs/

Rockets basically quit last night after the disappointment of losing the OT game. It reminded me of how the Suns just lost heart after we lost a close game minus Amare and Boris in 07.
Or after Duncan hit a miracle three pointer at the buzzer to beat us in SA.

06 to me. Raja and KT healthy and we win it all, playing the best team ball ever seen.

2006 was my favorite team, but I never really truly thought they were going to win the title. 07 was the year that I thought we were finally at full strength and would go all the way. But, alas.

I get the years a little mixed up nowadays, but wasn't '08 also a year that we ought to have gone further in the playoffs and once again had our run cut short by the Spurs? I can't remember whether the season with the midseason Marion/Shaq trade and Duncan's OT 3-pointer were '08 or '09; it blurs together for me.

I do remember 2010 as the great year with Nash and Grant Hill and Dudley and the great teamwork; that was my second favorite team behind 06 for sure. I really enjoyed that last run with Nash and Hill in charge. Those two were just consummate pros and I was proud to root for them.

08 was the Shaq year where Duncan hit that ridiculous 3. 09 was Terry Porter.

That is my favorite team ever.

Here is to 2020-21 knocking that team off the top.
