people that missed lastnights game missed something special...that easily one of the best playoffs games in history...the Spurs were down with like a minute or so...and TP huge 3 pt J in lebron's grill, the huge steal, and another huge bucket..and i thought the game was over...and then the Heat with under a minute did something so remarkable...This was a battle of being clutch...Ray Allen, and Bosh vs. TP and Kawhi and Ray and Co. won out...
Honestly, outside of last nights game, this has been the most boring finals since 07. Hopefully game 7 is close.
man as much as i want the spurs to win game 7... i dont see it. Manu basically playing for the heat as well turnover after turnover.
Absolutely. Everyone else b****ing about how clutch or unclutch LeBron was obviously has an agenda and is missing out on 2 of the best teams go head to head, now, for a winner take all one game finale. I predicted the Heat in 7 but the Spurs can easily heat up (no pun intended) in a hurry and go on another one of their closeout runs to finish LeBron and co. off. I just appreciate watching greatness from both the Spurs and Heat to create an instant classic Finals.
If the Spurs have a chance..its not gonna be their big three...maybe Manu...but TD and TP played as well as one can... Personally if the Spurs win this...it is because their bench had an extra ordinary effort...but reasonable people now realize that this series is over...and think the emotional trauma might just be too great to overcome...would be nice to be proven wrong...but evidence in the history of sports have shown that if you let someone stand up after getting knocked down, they will come back to knock you out...
The road team hasn't won a finals game since 1978. That might be too much for the Spers to overcome, and the watchful eye of Stern wanting his star laden team to win won't help their cause.
Let us stop the conspiracy theory...I was really rooting for the Spurs...but they choked...plain and simple...they had the championship trophy wheeled to the stadium for the Spurs...
I picked the Spurs in 6 before the series. So so close. For the Spurs to have any chance in this game, Manu has to pull it together. Too many TOs and ill-timed missed FTs. I want to say the Spurs still win game 7 but I just don't see it happening. Regardless, that was one hell of a game 6. TP for President
I didn't realize myself I wanted the Spurs to win that much until it gave me near heart attack at the roller coaster ending.
I, literally, turned off the TV and went straight too bed. I was that upset. This feeling, she is strange. I cannot comprehend.
I don't think it's strange. I mean, Wade wears women's pant suits.... Blue collar hard working team beats the fancy pants, front runner, "once Lebron leaves bye bye fan base' Heat? It's not shocking why people over 14 want the Spurs to win.
This is the feeling of basketball...its such a great feeling...if your rooting for the underdogs(the Spurs)..then this was gut wrenching... If you were rooting for Heat...this was a "Miami Miracle"... Imagine if we were actual fans of this team...just insert the Rockets into either scenario...the feeling would be thousand times worse/thousand times better... Thats why basketball is soooo awesome...JLin said it best... <blockquote class="twitter-tweet"><p>Wow that was a classic...isnt basketball the best???</p>— Jeremy Lin (@JLin7) <a href="https://twitter.com/JLin7/statuses/347207183508856832">June 19, 2013</a></blockquote> <script async src="//platform.twitter.com/widgets.js" charset="utf-8"></script>
Damn I could have been a hundred dollars richer, ***!!!! Oh well I'm still betting on the Spurs to pull this out.
Props to Miami for capitalizing. It was hard to take all of the pouting by LBJ & Wade on great no-calls. They flop through the lane, launch the ball aimlessly toward the rim, flail their arms all over the place yelling, and then fall down under the basket. Then the temper tantrum starts - whining and wallowing on the ground for 10 seconds while the Spurs take it the other way 5-on-4 for an easy basket. Pretty disgusting display, IMO. At least Van Gundy took issue with D-Wade's tantrum, but LBJ did it more than once himself and not a single comment. I don't ever recall seeing tantrums taking precedence over team defense/hustle with the previous NBA greats & legends. Hard to respect this type of behavior but it's who they are. It will be epic if the Spurs can summon up the mental toughness to take it to them again on Thursday night.
http://deadspin.com/hundreds-of-hea...source=deadspin_twitter&utm_medium=socialflow My god, that is just pathetic. Exemplifies why I consider it such a below-average sports city.
Danny Green forcing that TO on LBJ towards the end of the game was probably the worst. He gets all ball, it goes out of bounds off LBJ and then he proceeds to complain like he got mauled. Terrible.
The spurs were getting a lot of ticky tack stuff. There was one play where Lebron was posting up parker and they called a foul. How do you post up if they call a foul on that. The spurs have received more FTs than the heat.
