Some people are ridiculous.

Sure he had 6 TOs, but come on.

I'm really starting to question if you watched the game or not. He was shooting like under 30% the first 3 quarters before he dominated about the first 9 minutes of the 4th q. In that 9 minutes he only missed like 1 shot and scored half of his total points. After a timeout was called wade came back in and the spacing was gone for the heat and james started struggling again with multiple turnovers and missed shots. It was a classic chokejob. He's fortunate that the spurs choked harder than he did.
 
The refs blatantly stole this from SA.

And so it shall be.

I didn't realize Stern made the Spurs miss those free throws. That was very cruel of him. I also can't believe he forced Pop to bench Duncan on the final couple possessions. Usually Pop wouldn't go for something like that.
 
Some clownshoes posts in this thread on both sides of the debate. Personally, I hate LeBron but the Heat win (more Spurs loss) was legit.

Have to agree, painfully. TWICE Duncan was sat to guard against 3's, both times Heat got offensive rebounds and then hit 3's after all. Spurs had 10 point lead going into the 4th (yes, painfully familiar to Blazers fans) and a two possession lead with less than a minute to go. There was a no call on Manu but also a no call on James. Throw in Spurs not hitting their 3's and a HUGE missed free throw late. Make that FT and the Spurs still have a one point lead, 5 seconds left, Heat have to foul (hard to do in less than a second), then advance the ball upcourt with maybe 4 seconds at most.
 
If the Spurs hadn't bricked so many free throws in regulation, there's no overtime and no need to worry about the fact that end-of-game foul calls (or lack of them) generally favor the home team.

That is an incredible stat. If that's substantiated, that's too egregious to not look into.

That's insane. There are a few things I'd like to know pertaining to that stat, about each game. Things like who LBJ was playing against, what round of the playoffs was it, was it a home game or away game for LBJ, what was the series record at the time.

I find that very hard to believe. I can't find an actual source for this information, other than some Tweets.
 
The NBA needs to change traveling to 4 steps, everybody is consistently taking 3
 
Incredibly, some (in fact many) Heat fans left early.

It isn't over until it's over.
 
No reentry is pretty standard at sports venues these days. It says so on tickets and there are signs on the door. Even if they thought their team was losing, how about a round of applause at the end of their season? Sorry, not a lot of sympathy for those "fans".
 
I just can't understand how any fan could leave in that situation. Even if they lose, you gotta stay there and applaud them for a really hard-fought season. This is a team that won 27 games in a row. They won the title last year. LeBron is a free agent in 2014. You have to show both him and the team the respect they earned this year and give them an ovation. And you have to stay to applaud a gutty performance by Tim Duncan.

I guess the point is the people who left weren't really fans. Just people with lots of money dropping in to see a spectacle. Man, I wish I had the kind of money to attend every game of the World Series and just leave when I inevitably got bored. I hate baseball, but I'd love to have that kind of dough.

Seriously. If the Blazers made it to the finals, I would expect every last Blazers fan in attendance (can't account for the other team's fans who sneak in) to stay and honor the team after the game, win or lose.

Agree. And since Duncan is retiring, how about a round of applause for an NBA great?

Here in Oaktown fans of both the A's and the Warriors stayed for about 10 minutes after the final playoff game to cheer their teams. The A's came back onto the field and tipped their caps. Stephen Curry led Warriors fans in the team chant. But we're the city they want to take the teams from!

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.

No comments on this stat. In the last 14 1/2 minutes, the Spurs got 3/4 of the fouls. Joe Crawford?

The A's have had a pathetic attendance level for years. Same with my Raiders, and so did Golden State when they were terrible.

Oakland/East Bay just isn't a sports' hotbed. The A's are in first place right now, yet only averaging 21k/game, which is 63% of capacity in a stadium that they cover the upper decks in tarps to make it seems 'smaller'.

I will add this. The Warriors do have a stronger fanbase, simply because a lot of people from SF make the trip over the bridge to games since there is no SF NBA team.

Danny Crawford, Scott Foster, Monty McCutchen, Tony Brothers (alternate) your referees for Game 7 of Heat-Spurs, 9 p.m., ABC.
 
The A's filled the stadium when they had owners who wanted fans there. The current owners resemble the parody in Major League. Do everything they can to keep fans from attending from ridiculous new "rules" to getting rid of anything remotely edible, raise prices on tickets and concessions, reduce promotions, make it harder, not easier, to get season tix (I canceled mine after nearly 20 years) but mostly the knowledge they really don't want us there. The ones still there are die hard. The Warriors actually had pretty decent attendance even when they sucked. Of course, it's a smaller space.
 
Here we go. One team will be crowned champion. The other team will basically be garbage.

So this is it now! Everybody get down! This is all I can take! This is how a heart breaks!
