That lebron "2" was definitely a three. Not to mention he got fouled on that last possession.

Diaw with a beautiful pass. I wish Bill Walton was commentating the game

Perfect example of why young bigs need to play like bigs

I'll take two feet shots any day over jumpers

No matter how much intensity. How much desire the Heat bring. It doesn't ultimately matter. The Spurs simply play better basketball especially on the offensive side. It took me the whole series to realize that against the mavs so I wasn't unprepared or shocked by it this time around with the Spurs.

Phoenix Dark · « **Reply #10384 on:** June 18, 2013, 10:55:30 PM »

well I didn't expect this

Spurs have been balling ever since Manu was benched.

This was just as feasible as any other outcome. Spurs have outplayed them to a larger degree than even the Mavs did.

You can't be complaining on the ground all the time and not run back for defense. Shit is childish.

etiolate · « **Reply #10387 on:** June 18, 2013, 11:06:27 PM »

Yeah, but I enjoy it since it draws attention to how terrible officiating is in the NBA. Nothing like the league shitting down its own throat in the biggest game of the year.

Spurs starting to get sucked into a fastbreak game.

Stoney Mason · « **Reply #10389 on:** June 18, 2013, 11:21:26 PM »

Do or die time. Miami does seem to be playing better here in the 4th.

Stoney Mason · « **Reply #10390 on:** June 18, 2013, 11:22:44 PM »

This has been some hella 4th quarter ball here so far. Intense as fuck.

Amazing parker shots.

Tony Parker is fucking unreal.

Stoney Mason · « **Reply #10394 on:** June 18, 2013, 11:44:30 PM »

And that is game. Lebron unfortunately out of control on those last two plays. Congratz Spurs. 5th title for Duncan. Darn impressive career.

bachikarn · « **Reply #10395 on:** June 18, 2013, 11:44:33 PM »

They should never changed the lineup that was kicking ass.

That replay ended up screwing the Spurs. Much easier to get a transition basket going with a quick in-bounds.

Phoenix Dark · « **Reply #10402 on:** June 18, 2013, 11:57:00 PM »

It was such an obvious three, and the line ref was right there lol. On the plus side it allowed the Spurs to plan their play

Stoney Mason · « **Reply #10403 on:** June 18, 2013, 11:58:45 PM »

Why not call some plays where you have screens for Lebron or wade here to drive.

Phoenix Dark · « **Reply #10404 on:** June 18, 2013, 11:59:40 PM »

I really enjoy JVG's casting

Stoney Mason · « **Reply #10405 on:** June 19, 2013, 12:02:28 AM »

I have to give him credit. Bosh has been ballin out there.

Stoney Mason · « **Reply #10406 on:** June 19, 2013, 12:05:02 AM »

Does Spoelstra ever actually call a play on timeouts that isn't just an iso?

Stoney Mason · « **Reply #10407 on:** June 19, 2013, 12:09:43 AM »

I don't even watch basketball but that was a crazy comeback. Impressive job on the Heat.

Stoney Mason · « **Reply #10412 on:** June 19, 2013, 12:15:33 AM »

It was sloppy. It was messy. The plays were fucking ugly. The superstars on both sides hit amazing shots and flubbed a ton of others.

But it was fucking intense and emotional basketball. Amazing crazy stuff.

Fans are going to complain about bad calls in OT but the Spurs coughed that up. Should never have gone to OT.

My bad, Ray, for calling you east-coast Derek Fisher

You still got some game left

This one was a classic

Hopefully the finale will be just as great

Smooth Groove · « **Reply #10419 on:** June 19, 2013, 12:43:15 AM »

Spurs should be killing themselves if they can't win this championship

It's obvious by now that they're the better team

Spurs have been able to get easy shots most of the time, even in OT

On the other end, they've been almost as successful in forcing the Heat to make tough shots

Beezy · « **Reply #10420 on:** June 19, 2013, 12:47:03 AM »

Man, stop bitching. Awesomo, not you Smooth.

Hey I thought it would be 50 posts about that no call on Ginobili so its actually been a pleasant surprise.

I guess if maybe Tebow got to the Superbowl and lost I would gloat a bit myself...

Beezy · « **Reply #10424 on:** June 19, 2013, 12:55:34 AM »

Ginobli traveled like crazy leading up to the no call so it evens out

if only kawaii and manu hit those ft's. I don't think my heart can take watching game 7.

Stoney Mason · « **Reply #10426 on:** June 19, 2013, 01:06:12 AM »

This was still so pretty. I can't believe he had the balls to take that shot then.

Smooth Groove · « **Reply #10427 on:** June 19, 2013, 01:13:03 AM »

Parker took that 3 because time was running out and Lebron didn't give him room to drive

Great decision making

That's one area Lebron could still learn from Parker

Lebron gave a great effort tonight but he made too many bad decisions

If a long 2 off the dribble is the best shot he can create, he should just let someone else shoot

Part of this is on Spoelstra, I think it's pretty clear that Lebron can't bring up the ball on every play

This just give the Spurs too much time to focus on Lebron

etiolate · « **Reply #10428 on:** June 19, 2013, 01:14:50 AM »

I do worry sometimes that Lebron listens to his critics too much. He is better driving into the lane, but if you can shoot and it's there then punish them for giving you space.

TakingBackSunday · « **Reply #10429 on:** June 19, 2013, 01:15:13 AM »

jesus christ awesome-o

if kobe was lebron in this circumstance the narrative from you would be so much different

the fact of the matter: this was the best game of the entire season, if you ask me. stars stepped up on both ends, bench players made plays on both ends, and mistakes were made...on both ends.

it was the most equal game I've seen in a while. Game 7 comes, and I don't know what the fuck to expect;

Lebron's outside shot is much improved but at this stage, he's far more accurate with set shots than dribble Js
