this is a microcosm of our season

I couldn't agree more. The Spurs stared down the demon of defeat and snatched another amazing victory from its jaws.

We scrapped this one out. Tony carried the offensive load through the first 4 quarters. FinDog hit the big three to send us to OT. Tim threw dirt on their grave.

What a crazy, crazy victory and a emotional victory. We were looking at the 5 seed and a trip to Portland. Then the Mavs pulled it out. We pulled it out. We win the division.

Chris Paul and David West had big games for the Hornets but they wore down at the end. Paul did not attempt a shot in overtime.

Your 3 stars

3 - Tim Duncan with 20 points, 19 rebounds and 6 assists -- 6, 6, and 2 in overtime -- while playing just 33 minutes.

2 - Tony Parker -with 29 points, 6 assits, 4 rebounds and just 2 turnovers.

1 - Michael Finley with one ginormous ass shot. 17 points, 4 boards.

I don’t want to hear ANYONE saying shit about Finley through out the playoffs.
