In the 2009-10 season, the Spurs of the Duncan era fell to the bottom half of the West for the only time, finishing only seventh.
It was Bowen's first season after retiring from the game, and the newcomer to New Jersey Flyers, Jefferson, was not compatible with the team, and Parker was injured and his form was up and down.
If there were play-offs that year, the teams participating in the play-offs were: Spurs (50 wins) / Thunder (50 wins) / Rockets (42 wins) / Grizzlies (40 wins)
Of these three youth teams, the Spurs have no absolute chance of winning against anyone.
Let's talk about the Thunder first, Durant debuted and won the point king/burst/All-Star, Wei Shao is just an ordinary main player, and Harden is an ordinary substitute. But in response to that sentence, "punch the master to death", the Spurs and the Thunder played 4 times that season, and although the Spurs won 3 times, each game was not easy, and each time it was fought until the last moment:
In the first game, the Thunder narrowly won 101-98, and the bald man made 0 of 8 shots and scored 7 points on free throws.
In the second game, Duncan was absent, and the two teams played to overtime, and Wei Shao tied the ball in the fourth quarter to bring the game into overtime, and finally the Thunder lost by one point.
In the third game, Durant and Wei Shao combined for 13-of-40 shooting, and the Spurs won by 8 points, which was the most wins.
In the fourth game, Durant scored 45 points, and the Spurs narrowly won 99-96.
Speaking of the Grizzlies, Randolph changed his mind and participated in the All-Star for the first time, leading the Bears on the right track, and the Spurs and Grizzlies played each other 4 times that year, 2-2, and each time Randolph and Jr. had a good performance.
The Rockets and Spurs also played each other 4 times, 2-2, Yao Ming reimbursed, Scola, Kevin Martin, and Black Bean Brooks played well, especially in the Rockets' 109-104 victory over the Spurs in February, Martin/Brooks/Scola scored 30+ respectively, and they were magnificent!
Boxing is afraid of being young, a life-and-death play-off, anything is possible, if there is a play-off that year, the Spurs are really hanging!
