The play Ginobili made last night when he stole the ball and outhustled RJ was eerily similar to a play Ginobili made in the '03 finals, I believe in game 6, or maybe game 1. I think that play was made against RJ too, but it may have been Lucious Harris. Does anyone have a clip of it? I've been looking for '03 game 6 highlights, but haven't found it. I'm telling you, it was like the same play, where the Net player didn't hustle after the ball and Manu went and got it... crazy.

Any and all evidence that we ever had a chance in that series makes me sick. I think I'd selectively removed any memories of the series ever being close. All that's left is RJ's dunk over Kevin Willis.
That team got stuck in the worst decade of playing good. Kobe and Shaq. Duncan and Robinson. Horrible.
Thanks, Ghoti! Not exactly the same, but similar enough. RJ nonchalanting it all the way. Which game in the series was it? 6? They had leads in just about every game that series.... it was very winnable.
