I can't wait to watch Popovich "rest" Parker and Duncan in the fourth quarter of Game 7. Got to have them ready for pickup games in early August.
It wasn't much of a foul. Can't call that. Spurs should've had 5 shooters on the floor instead of splitter and duncan

For all the talk of Joey Crawford from the 1st to the 4th qt Heat were not getting a lot of calls considering how hard they were driving to the basket.
Bang bang play in the Finals. Hell no they can't call that especially after how physical the whole game was.
Agreed, people are focusing too much on the ginobli foul/travel. I thought for sure the game was rigged the way Crawford was ignoring when the heat were getting raked
The Heat haven't had a FT advantage for the longest time going back to the Pacers series. Spurs was a +7 on FTA tonight on the road.. People bringing up refs are just whining.
When was our team busted by the Spurs for the last 17 years? We hardly played them in the playoffs. I just don't get the rivalry thing. I can understand the Mavs hate and the Jazz hate because of the playoffs losses to them. But what has the Spurs done to us that deserves our hate? If I were the Spurs, I would laugh at the notion of the Rockets being their rivalry. The Rockets have not been relevant for a long time to be anybody's rivalry.
I knew the Spurs had lost this game the minute the 4th started and Mike Miller and Mario Chalmers were left wiiiiiiiide open beyond the 3 point line. A 10 point lead cut to 4 in the space of 2 possessions - and the Miami crowd getting back into the game. I don't even understand the IQ someone needs to have (Gary Neal) to double LeBron behind the 3 point line and leave Mike Miller all alone on the opposite side of the court. Mental lapses like that are pathetic. Ginobili should've been pulled and not seen the court again so many times in this game. The Spurs went away from Duncan in the second half. Like they'd forgotten all about the greatest first half he's ever had in an NBA Finals game. SMH at San Antonio. I'm so irate they blew that game. I don't give them any hope in Game 7 unfortunately.
It was an amazing game. Considering the Heat were in good position to force a Game 7 and then made several horrible turnovers which led to the Spurs being up with 28 seconds left only to see them unable to get a rebound(and miss a key free throw) which allowed Miami to force OT. It reminded me of Game 6 of that Pistons/Lakers series in 1988 where Detroit looked like they had the title wrapped up before L.A. barely pulled it out(and then did the same in Game 7).
Game over, man, so it doesn't matter. It was a foul, but that one play didn't cost the Spurs the game, turnovers did, with a nudge from the refs late. A really fun game to watch, excepting a couple of comments from a Miami fan. That, and a couple of missed free throws. I hope game 7 is as close.
