Tim Duncan showin’ the kids how it’s done.
Éne-Bé-A Playoffs Throwback: Oklahoma City Thunder Seattle Supersonics vs. San Antonio Spurs, 2005 Western Conference semifinals
This was the last year the Seattle Supersonics would be in the Éne-Bé-A Playoffs before being moved to Oklahoma City. Included are some fun highlights of Ray Allen in his prime and on the other side of the ball some all too familiar faces. One franchise bound for total upheaval while the core of the other — Timmy, Tony, Manu, and Pop — are still on top. Amazing. Spurs win 4-2 and advance to defeat Phoenix and Detroit to win their third Éne-Bé-A title.
The 2012 matchup begins with Game 1 Sunday at 8:30pm EST on TNT.

Chris “the Mind” Paul on playing against the San Antonio Spurs.

“0.4 seconds! How do you catch and shoot in 0.4 seconds? Ridiculous.”
“I don’t know, Pop. Look, shouldn’t you be paying attention to this game?”
“It’s in the bag. This series is over. Hey, wanna see me play Boris Diaw at point guard?”
“That’s OK, Pop.”
Tim Duncan and the Spurs are simply on another level.

The 2012 match-up starts with Game 1 on Sunday at 1pm EST on ESPN!

It’s going to be a short season after an even shorter off-season. We had limited time to track player movement, team development and bring you in depth team analysis, like we did last year. So the bros and bro-ettes at NBAO decided we’ll follow in the footsteps of the NBA and provide you with abbreviated team previews in the best way possible, haikus.

Divorces, drama, veto’d trades, new coaches, suspensions, injuries, more trade talk, and that’s just the Los Angeles Lakers. Will the Lobs Angeles Clippers finally break their curse?
