2013 NBA Finals: San Antonio Spurs vs. Miami Heat

["Maximus"]

i talked to people that root for the heat and admitted the end of the game was the worse officiating EVER

i do agree that there were a few bad calls in the course of the game that went both ways but the BLATANCY at the end was ridiculous

yes the spurs STILL could have won ....a missed free throw or a couple, pops could have made them fould and the 3 pointer wouldnt have been an option which i feel equals the sin of the officiating

bottom line...the heat aint all that...and that game was handed to them

But zagga, I can't take you serious on this statement because you have shown to be biased. If you are going to use the "officiating" to trash the game because it didn't go your way, you need to come clean and talk about it from both ends and not just from "how bad it was officiated towards" the Spurs.. Actually, the refs were calling almost everything in favor of the Spurs last night; I was there and saw it with my own to eyes.

Those bad calls you are referring to at the end of OT, what are they? Really? Can you point them out without BS opinion? The facts only.. I can name one for you: it was hilarious to see Manu Ginobili travel all the way to Argentina for that last play. And I am not making fun of it, just watch the replays!

the very last shot in OT green got hit quite hard and even van gundy said it was a foul

yes there were bad call both ways but i saw it in favor of the heat....i agree that that type of opinion gets bias but i say when theres a bad call against the team that i'm rooting for...i DONT want to see bad calls AT ALL

I understand that u cant see everything and make all calls 100% but the nba has a severe problem

btw....loved seeing the receding hairline chump getting that elbow macaroni to his snoz

lmao.. at least that woke him up and got you even more upset!

I will be here joining you after 9pm from my phone.. whether we win or lose.

[Rwy]

But I already stated that the heat will probably win.


I dont dislike Lebron. I think he is great to watch. I would take him on the Knicks in a heartbeat. I do hate Dwade though. HATE HATE HATE DWADE

Enjoy it while you can bc Lebron will be taking his talents some where else next year

God that was one of the most difficult games for me to get over in a LONG time. I am still a little emo right now, but tomorrow I should be back to normal. As long as my Spurs can bounce back and learn from their mistakes, we have a great shot. I just hope our young guys who messed up (e.g. Kawhi Leonard) will forget about last game and just continue to play great. If we lose, don't expect to hear from me (at least in this thread) for a while, lol. I am trying to not dwell on the past, so I refuse to discuss Game 6. It just makes me angry and depressed. I was in a cloudy haze after the game. That is after I lost my shit.

Tough game for a spurs fun to swallow.....going to be tough for you guys tomorrow

[zaggahamma]

if my memory serves only 2 games were close out of the 6?

[basketballfan22]

Zagga, Rwy has a thread on golf just under this one.

i'll look for it

[basketballfan22]

Yep. Only Games 1 and 6 have been close. I predicted Spurs in 7, so let's hope I am correct.

[Bio-Active]

Big game tonight!!!

I am absolutely terrified (granted, I always am in regards to the Spurs). I had a bad dream about it, so let's hope I am not precognitive. My Spurs have to play the best game we have ever played. GO SPURS GO!!!

theyve actually BEEN playing real good...minus a few missed ft's

hope they keep it up

All depends on Miami IMO. If Miami is aggressive to the basket and plays the defense they are capable of it could be a long night for the spurs. If not it will be a bad night for Miami. Both teams have shown that if they show up with there A game that they can blow the other out. Nothing bigger than a NBA 7 NBA finals!!

yeh their long arms and steal/disruptive type defense is their strength as i think the spurs know how to combat their offense somehow

i havent watched too much of the critics/commentary the last 40 hours...has anyone brought up the officiating..to any significance?

[basketballfan22]

Screw Game 6. The Spurs can't dwell on what could have been. Manu was fouled for sure, and he should have been able to shoot some free throws. However Tim Duncan was illegally substituted after Allen hit the three. In the end the Spurs should have won that game had they done JUST 1 thing correctly at the end. STOP ALLOWING OFFENSIVE REBOUNDS! If they would have rebounded LeBron's shot, Allen wouldn't have had the opportunity to shoot it. After Bosh gets the rebound, we should have fouled him; but instead we allow the greatest shooter of all time an open 3-pointer. Kawhi Leonard should have hit both free throws at the end, so the Spurs would have been up 4 instead of just 3. We choked on the line in the end, our turnovers are killing us, and so is our inability to BOX OUT and get the defensive boards. The three biggest keys to victory are defense, turnovers, and rebounding. We failed on all three of those at the end.

[basketballfan22]

Lol, people can hate Miami all they want; but they are EASILY the best team in the East. If they win tonight, then they are the best team in the NBA. If my Spurs lose, I want them to lose to the the best team; and that is exactly what will happen if we come up short tonight. Champions must show perseverance, and that is exactly what Miami did last game. Now it is our turn to overcome a tough game and show the world why we are champions. After all we have done it four times before. **** the critics and so-called experts who are ruling us out tonight. That is why I haven't watched any coverage since the game. No one thought San Antonio would be this far to begin with, so what the **** do they know.

I just hope it is a great game. I felt the same way with Parkers injury! It would absolutely suck if Miami won the series because of Tony not being able to preform!

[zaggahamma]

they played d against parker well in the last game and the spurs stll found a way to separate and take a strong lead but like bball said spurs failed to put the dagger in

its like not shooting the fvcking monster in the head in a movie and the fvcker comes back with a ski mask on your ass

balls of steel to come back and grab game 7

my prophecy was stolen

hopin bball's will come true

Its a chess match of constant adjustments

[basketballfan22]

Hopefully Timmy can have a flashback game like he did in the first half of Game 6. Only this time he needs to play that well the entire game!

[zaggahamma]

i agree...i think other than not fouling pops is a master

i'm still in denial over game 6

it was like a ghost but i blamed it all on the refs

but it still goes down in the books without asterick

that would have made my year

defeat from the jaws of victory...blah blah blah

goin into this one wanting vengeance but feel like we're chasing a ghost

idk maybe someone can relate

well...need a lil cat nap before firing up the grill and coolin down the coronas

i'll check this and chime in lil before the tip

Like your friend had pointed out, if the trend of alternating wins keeps happening, the Spurs will be the 2013 NBA champions! I made two predictions. If Manu plays like his old self, we will likely win; and the Spurs will take it in 7. In my opinion, the former prediction will have to come true in order for the latter to be true.

[basketballfan22]

You are in denial?!? How do you think I feel? Lol. Gregg messed up, but he is a top 3 (perhaps even top 2) NBA coach of all time. If any team can bounce back from such a crushing loss, it is a team coached by him.

[zaggahamma]

yes he is

and i do feel for you knowing that they are your home team and heart and soul

for me ...i admit i would have been rooting for the lakers just as much...however i do seem to like the spurs team/aura/persona/grace/humility

also my bud from hondo texas

[pawn master]

spurs wasted Duncans biggest game in a long time. They looked defeated at the end of game 6. Green cant shoot on the road. Spurs won game 1 in Miami on the last shot. Miami will win Friday night. Wish I had seen this thread when the poll was on. I had Miami in 7 the whole series.

[zaggahamma]

Oh man i would have loved to be there but no. I am so competitive by nature. I absolutely hate it when people rub my nose in it when my teams lose so i give the same respect back always. If Miami looses it would be the Spurs that i would want them to loose to! You just never know when you get 2 elite teams playing at this level. Honestly in my opinion it should have been the Spurs playing Miami in the finals last year as well. I never thought OKC was that good. For crying out loud didn't the spurs win the first 2 games in that series?
