Thank you Tim Duncan！下個球季不會再有 TD 和 Kobe 兩個巨星，有種「悵然若失」的感覺，馬刺先生，湖人先生，珍重再見。

The 1999 NBA season was the 53rd season of the National Basketball Association (NBA). Due to a lockout, the season did not start until February 5, 1999 after a new six-year Collective Bargaining Agreement was reached between the NBA and the National Basketball Players Association. All 29 teams played a shortened 50-game regular season schedule- 61% of the regular 82 games- and the 16 teams who qualified for the playoffs played a full post-season schedule. That season's All-Star Game was also canceled. The season ended with the San Antonio Spurs winning the franchise's first NBA championship, beating the New York Knicks 4 games to 1 in the 1999 NBA Finals.

The second lockout in the history of the NBA lasted from July 1, 1998 to January 20, 1999. NBA owners were seeking changes to the league's salary cap system and a ceiling on individual player salaries. The National Basketball Players Association opposed the owners' plans and wanted raises for players who earned the league's minimum salary.

As the labor dispute continued into September, the preseason was shortened to just two games instead of the normal eight, and training camps were postponed indefinitely.[1] By October, it became the first time in NBA history that games were canceled due to a labor dispute.[2] Further games were canceled by November and December, including the All-Star Game, which had been scheduled to be played on February 14, 1999. The preseason also got cancelled as well.

An agreement between the owners and players was eventually reached on January 18, 1999. When play resumed, the regular season was shortened to 50 games per team, as opposed to the normal 82. As a result, some teams did not meet each other at all during the course of the shortened season. In addition, to preserve games between teams in the same conference, much of the time missed was made up for by skipping well over half of the games played between teams in the opposite conference. 1998--99 was the first season following the departure of Michael Jordan before he returned to play for the Washington Wizards. The New York Knicks became only the second #8 seed to advance in the playoffs by defeating a #1 seed. As of 2013, they remain the only #8 seed to have advanced to the NBA Finals. The Los Angeles Lakers played their final season at the Great Western Forum. Due to the fact that the Great Western Bank ceased to exist two seasons prior, the arena name was replaced by the team name on center court, in anticipation of the move to the Staples Center. The Los Angeles Clippers played their final season at the Los Angeles Sports Arena. The Indiana Pacers played their final season at the Market Square Arena. The Denver Nuggets played their final season at the McNichols Sports Arena. The Miami Heat played their final season at the Miami Arena, although they still played the first two months of the following season at this arena before moving to the American Airlines Arena in January 2000. The Toronto Raptors played their first game in Air Canada Centre on February 21. The San Antonio Spurs became the first former ABA team to win a championship. (As of June 2012, they are still the only ABA franchise with a title; the Nets and Pacers have not won a title, and the Nuggets have never played an NBA Finals game.) The Atlanta Hawks played another season in the Georgia Dome while Philips Arena was constructed for the 1999--2000 season. This season would be the Hawks' last playoff appearance until the 2007--08 season. The Clippers tied the 1988-89 Miami Heat for the longest losing streak to start the season (17) from February 5 till March 11 when they defeated the Sacramento Kings. In December 2009, this record was broken by the New Jersey Nets who lost the first eighteen games of the season. Hall of Fame coach Red Holzman died on November 13, 1998 at age 78.

Tim Duncan scored 15 of his 32 points in the decisive third
quarter and Will Perdue added a career-high 21 as the San
Antonio Spurs continued their recent mastery over the reeling
Philadelphia 76ers with a 110-85 victory.


Duncan also grabbed eight rebounds and Vinny Del Negro
contributed 14 points and 12 assists for San Antonio, which has
won eight of its last 11 games. The Spurs are 14-2 against the
76ers over the last eight seasons.


"That was quite an anomaly, probably never to be seen again,"
Spurs coach Gregg Popovich said. "We had one of those nights.
Vinny got 12 assists, no turnovers, seven rebounds ... he was
playing the point which is not his position. Tim Duncan was
super, David (Robinson) does what he does out there, which is
anchor the defense and Will had a career night. We had all
these things happen at once and it was a good time for it to
happen. We just caught fire."


In two games against Philadelphia this season, Duncan has racked
up 59 points and 25 boards.


Duncan scored seven points to key a 15-2 run at the start of the
third quarter, turing a 52-45 lead into a 67-47 advantage with
8:03 left.


Duncan hit a layup, Perdue sank two free throws and Jaren
Jackson nailed a three-pointer to give the Spurs a 59-45 lead
with 9:57 left in the third. After Theo Ratliff made two foul
shots, Duncan scored the next five points and Jackson hit
another three-pointer, making it 67-47. The Spurs took a
commanding 87-59 lead into the final quarter.


"We started flowing, we all got on the same page, the ball
started moving, people got open shots and everything went our
way," Duncan said.


Duncan also commented on San Antonio's play with himself,
Robinson and Perdue on the floor at the same time.


"The first couple of games it was a problem, people were kind of
bumping into each other, now we're more comfortable with it. I'm
comfortable at the three spot, David still has problems
remembering he's a four, but once he remembers, he's one of the
best. Will is Will, he hangs around the rim and finishes the
job."


San Antonio outscored Philadelphia, 35-14, in the third quarter
thanks to some red-hot shooting. The Spurs shot a blistering
12-for-13 (92 percent) from the field, while holding the Sixers
to just 5-for-22 (23 percent).


Allen Iverson scored 15 of his 24 points in the first quarter
and Derrick Coleman added 18 points for Philadelphia, which
suffered its fifth straight loss. The 76ers fell 20 games under
.500 for the first time this season (25-45).


"They were great, we were poor," Philadelphia coach Larry Brown
said. "I'm really embarrassed by it, obviously it was a lack of
coaching not to be totally prepared. We focused on Duncan and
David because they are two of the best in the league. They just
beat us in all areas. I don't have any explanation for what
happened, it's disappointing."


The Sixers scored 10 unanswered points, capped by Anthony
Parker's three-pointer, to pull within 89-69 with 9:55 to play.


Monty Williams hit one of two free throws to trigger an 11-4 run
in the second quarter. Jackson drilled a three-pointer, David
Robinson made a foul shot, Del Negro hit a jumper and Robinson
converted a layup to put the Spurs ahead, 51-41 with 2:29 to go
in the first half. San Antonio settled for a 52-45 lead at the
break.


Jackson hit 4-for-5 from three-point range en route to 16 points
and Robinson added 10 and eight rebounds for the Spurs, who shot
55 percent (39-for-71) from the field and had a 26-15 advantage
from the foul line.


Tim Thomas had 13 points on 5-for-17 shooting from the field and
Parker finished with nine points for Philadelphia, which shot 42
percent (33-for-78) from the field.
