Spurs vs Heat - The official 2013 NBA Championship thread!

[B-Roy]

There are questionable calls all game. I thought Green bumped James on the drive that ultimately went to the Spurs after replay.

He didn't bump him at all. That was probably one of the best defensive plays of the game.

 

[BBert]

Christ how is that not an offensive foul on Lebron's drive there, he creamed Green out of the way with his elbow. Fortunately Green still made the great play on the ball.

 

[Rhal]

Ginobli had more TO's then Asissts/Rebounds combined. If he can be the Manu of game 5 for game 7 it should be a great game but if he plays like tonight the Spurs aren't winning.

Danny Green should be on the line shooting for a tie. SMH. I'm not a Heat hater by any means, but that was no defensive play by Bosh, it was a straight up tackle. Bosh's stupidity was rewarded.

I thought Green impeded his progress first. Either way, an offensive foul call wouldn't matter. The ball still went to SA.

Manu was fucking TERRIBLE. My god, I couldn't count how many horrendous passes he made. The Heat were reading him like a book.

Allen should have been shooting for the win at the end of the 4th. Parker hit his legs on that shot with his knee.

I disagree.

 

[PapaG]

Ginobli clearly traveled on that drive that could have taken the league, yet JVG wants a foul.

 

[tlongII]

Popovich did a horrible job coaching. Takes Duncan out twice and they give up offensive rebounds both times. Then puts both Splitter and Duncan in at the end of the game when they need a three. Stupid.

You mean where LeBron shoved green to the ground with his arm?

 

[B-Roy]

I know he's Manu and all, but I would have thought that Pop of ALL people would have the sense to leave him out in the last couple minutes of the 4th and OT. Boris Diaw was doing a tremendous job playing defense and not screwing up the offense.

On the other side, Spo putting in Wade late in the 4th killed LeBron's momentum as well. Wade coming in screwed up the spacing and almost cost the Heat the game. But that is something I would expect out of Spo.

 

[jlprk]

I tallied fouls. After 2 1/2 minutes into the 4th quarter (I begin where the pattern started) it was Spurs committing 6 fouls, Heat 2. That doesn't include no-calls.

Stern wants the bigger market and the younger superstar of the future to win.

 

[Rhal]

He traveled yea but he was hit several times running through 3 Heat players before he technically traveled.

 

[BBert]

Ginobili had a chance to be the hero after his horrible game, but he was FOULED! Man how can you not call that. This is the championship that got away.

 

[JfizzleBlazer]

Wtf was that during the post game interviews. It looked like LeBron said sorry to wade

 

[Rhal]

If Manu shows up I think the Spurs win game 7.

 

[B-Roy]

By the way, Chris Bosh MVP game 6. The number of critical plays he made was ridiculous.

 

[PapaG]

James with 32/11/10

He's a choke artist!!!

Bosh was the difference on defense.

 

[Rhal]

I always hated the fact people consider him a choke artist. The expectations put on Lebron are pretty ridiculous, he could put up 60/20/20 but if they lose the championship game it will be HIS fault.

Ray Allen saved his ass. Otherwise we'd be talking about his 3 clutch turnovers.

Just the price you pay for being compared to the greats. He will always be compared to mj, Kobe, magic

If he doesn't hit every shot, he's a "choke artist" according to some of the 'experts' on this board. Amazingly, that troll stopped posting after the Heat took it to OT.

 

[PapaG]

No, you'd be talking about them. Plus Allen wouldn't have been able to "save his ass" had James not hit a 3 on the possession before.

But, you're a troll, so whatever.

 

[illmatic99]

I wish you guys would take your bitching elsewhere. Been really enjoyable here without it for the last few months.

 

[illmatic99]

Anyways, watching Manu's post game conference, you can totally sense how authentic and genuine the guy is. No cliches, no excuses, no facades.

Just straight up owning up to his mistakes. And honest responses on how they're gonna overcome this.

 

[PapaG]

Kobe Bryant choked in Game 7 against the Celtics. Fortunately for him, he had Ron Artest and Pau Gasol pick up the slack, and suddenly Kobe is The Man!

6-24 in a game seven. Turrrible

 

[MickZagger]

Agreed. He was awful.

After he bricked the 3 prior and Ray Allen saved his ass again by grabbing the carom and tossing to him for another heave.
