Spurs vs Heat - The official 2013 NBA Championship thread!

This is when I hate the NBA. Ginobli hacked by Ray Allen on the drive and Bosh wacks Danny Green on the 3. Either foul wins it for SA.

I disagree. Fouls in final seconds of games should not decide them.

 

[MickZagger]

Wade has been a disgrace, save 1 game this series.

 

[PapaG]

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.

I did like that. Same as James saying after Game 3 that he needed to step up and that the loss was on him.

ffs

Stop watching the league, then. The Spurs shot 28 FTs, the Heat 21. There were plenty of fouls not called on the Spurs, and Ginobli clearly traveled on that wild drive.

Well, duh. Where would the Beatles be with out Paul McCartney?

Not calling fouls in the final seconds does decide them. Call the game square and let the play decide the outcome.

 

[Natebishop3]

Spurs blew the fucking game. They blew a big lead and they couldn't hit their free throws. They didn't deserve to win the game. End of story.

Heat are victorious because the Spurs choked worse than LeBron in the final minutes of the game

god, these dumbass media people are making a big deal about his headband. That's what these idiots care about after that dramatic game?

Don't forget that James hit a huge three right before Allen's, and played 50 out of 53 minutes. What an awesome game by one of the greatest players in NBA history. I used to hate the guy, but I appreciate his greatness now and look forward to Game 7.

No doubt, but I have to say, I noticed it too in the 4th. This will be the 'headband' game.

 

[PapaG]

Duncan played 44 minutes. I'll be shocked if he can have as much as an impact in two nights as he did tonight.

What a great game by him, though. 36 and wanted this game so much.

Multiple turnovers and missed shots in the final 3 minutes of the quarter. He went from dominating to the version of LeBron that looks like he's thinking too much and making bad plays.

manu and kawhi missing those 2 FTs has to hurt

He played PG for 50 minutes and defended Parker for 44 minutes. His team won.

Yet he "choked". :MARIS61:

Leonard looked nervous. Manu looked old.

Other than about 9 minutes in the 4th he played a pretty bad game.

Final 3 minutes of the 4th were hard to watch if you are a big LeBron fan. It looked like a classic choke.

Some people are ridiculous.

Sure he had 6 TOs, but come on.

 

[PapaG]

Offensive foul.

Funny how JVG didn't whine about it.

[PapaG]

Pop should have been T'd up for leaving the coaching box.

ACtually it wasn't. Even the Ex NBA ref of 30 years who they have on for the finals explained why it wasn't a foul.

[video=youtube;tr6XsZVb-ZE]

Both coaches have come onto the floor multiple times in almost every game and no T has been issued for either one for doing it.

Who, Steve Javie? Come on. He slammed Miller in the face and cleared him out. I've seen that called a foul plenty of times, and even by Javie.

Well, Pop was clearly out of the box there, and Spoelstra wasn't. Would the Heat have been robbed had they lost because of this obvious violation on Pop? It's an automatic technical unless you call a timeout, and the Spurs didn't have a timeout.

but the referee's had called a ref timeout to review Allens shot. That was already signaled before Pops stepped onto the court.

 

[OregonHuskerMan]

PapaG, it is pointless to argue with LeBron haters. They just have a blind hatred for the guy for some reason. They seemingly can't enjoy a guy who does what coaches dreamed every superstar did - make the right play.

Yea Steve Javie couldn't remember his name. The way he explained it and you can see it on the slow motion, Leonard's arm is fully extended before Miller reaches him so its not like Loanard is purposely hitting him in the face or shoving him in the air instead its Millers momentum that carries him into Leonards outstretched arm, thats incidental contact and looks bad but isn't a foul.
Edit- This series because like every NBA game you can pick out at least half a dozen big bad calls or straight up missed calls, thats what you get when you only have 3 refs trying to pay attention to the fastest paced game in the world and they don't get the benefit of an overhead view. Its been a fairly physical and in my opinion, really well reffed series.

 

[Natebishop3]

The Spurs had so many chances to put it away. Who cares if a few fouls were missed?
