Spurs vs Heat - NBA Finals

[Gamefreak]

Pop gave away that game to the heats by leaving in manu or whatever his name is. 90% of the mistakes was cuz of him. they he takes out parker at the last minute

Ray Allen with the clutch 3 at the buzzer to force OT...a shot for the ages

Depends if they win on Thursday. Great comeback but like Carlton Fisk gesturing the ball fair with his walk off home run it isn't the same if your team loses the next game and the Series.

True vogeltron - should be a good Game 7 tonight

[Gamefreak]

I said earlier they had to adjust to Green as they did not realize he was a threat.
Spurs need to use him as a decoy. Duncan abused them when Green went way outside and 4th quarter he was in the lane a lot and Duncan never got the ball.

Also, Bosh made the different last game with his defense, they need to get him away from the shooter. He should not be out in 3 pt range blocking Parkers shots. Someone had to be open when he did this.

Spurs need to use more bodies in the 3rd and early 4th. Duncan, Parker etc are getting tired and need a small break.

Any bets on final score?

Going to be hard call because of Wades knee and Parkers foot. Either of those two go down and cost them.

Spurs need to shut down Lebron again like they did a few games ago and they will win it. Without him scoring 30-35 I cannot see the Heat winning if Lebron has a bad game or is held in check.

GO TO DUNCAN over and over and over. Bosh is outside playing like a guard and Heat have no one to defend Duncan left.

Score 97-93 If close

For the Heat?

[Sandy D]

Shut down James -- game over.

Pull Green to the 3 pt line to draw Bosh out and get the ball to Duncan.

damn i was close in my prediction..

Spurs one chance was in game 6 and they blew it. Heats wont give you 2 chances at home so i knew it was over before it even started

They blew it in game 6 with the missed free throws and the two second chance 3-pointers. Game should have been over.

Today Manu killed them in crunch time. Playing out of control. This is one of those were Pop wants to trade him on the spot. Duncan also missed a give me bucket at the end.

Overall it was a very entertaining series for the average basketball fan without any allegiance to either team. Congrats to the Heat they didn't fold when it was crunch time in Game 6. They basically stole the series and to an extent the Spurs gave it away.

And that`s it - the failure of Spurs in Game 6 is complete. Game 7 already was slow in the 3rd quarter and early 4th....amateurish with a lot of misses for both teams but James...37 points....not shut down. Heat win

[Christopher]

LBJ. Witness. I ain't got no worries

[Sandy D]

The combination of Spurs mistakes

Leonard 3 pt attempt with 35 second to go being down only 2 was stupid.

Then Manu going under the basket and committing himself to toss the ball to a Heat player killed them again.

Then Duncan missing an easy bucket.

Anyone notice when a Spurs player took a shot no one was under the basket rebounding most of the game? All were standing around the 3 pt line. Why?

Heat missed a shot and 4 players were right there.


And Spurs had no one to handle James at all. Of course the best player in the game I dont think anyone can shut him down but many teams were able to force him to do things he does not like. Spurs did this in game 3-4-5 and went away from it.

Nice series but I also believe the Spurs handed it to them. Then again you have to give credit to James who just took over in game 7.


*** Ray Allen is the hero, he got them to game 7 with that memorable 3 pt shot. He misses that shot and no game 7.

[rsot]

Right on Sandy - I noticed...so much lack of rebounding

Very weird pick. Letting the center from Kentucky go like that.

A big surprise to everyone.
