I hope the miscues and mistakes by the Heat do not get overlooked. Bosh got abused by Duncan, Lebron made major mistakes that almost cost the win and Wade was...Wade
 
The Spurs had like 7-8 gift calls in the third quarter alone. Heat haters blaming the refs are simply insane.

Irrational fools go into these games expecting the Heat to get calls so they bitch and whine about every little ticky tack potential call and no-call. They create the narrative and then see what they want to see.

Now just imagine if a ref was 100% undeniably, directly to blame for a 6 point difference.

Then you are closing to know what it was like to be a Jazz fan in 98.

Honestly this was an amazing game. Spurs failed so hard. Ginobli really has no shame. No shame.

Bosh and Ray...ice cold.... that is all
 
Lebron is the most unclutch superstar ever. Too bad it'll be obscured because Bosh and Allen bailed him out from his utter epic fails at the end of the 4th.
 
spuds are going to get crushed in game 7

duncan gave it his all and nobody except kawaii gave a shit

manu turkoglu is back and parker is basically a 6'1" kobe at this point
 
The thread will be turned into a whine fest for a while, have fun.

I wanted the spurs to win bad but its not the refs fault. You don't call soft fouls in the finals in OT. To expect that is bush league.

Spurs need to blame themselves. Hit a free throw. Have Duncan in to rebound so it never goes to OT. Spurs got mind fucked tonight.

Allen definitely fouled Ginobili after he took like sixteen steps towards the basket. Not sure about Bosh at the end there though. They didn't really spend time looking at the replay. It was more, JOIN US THURSDAY!

Okay, so what's the narrative now?

Are the Heat plucky underdogs who came from behind?

Or do we remember that this is the best team in the league with a stacked roster?

Is this Lebron's game that he willed them to win? Or was this an uneven game from a player who is too good to have uneven games in times like this?

I can't wait to see what they say on ESPN.

Game was officiated like shit for both teams. Offensive fouls called defensive fouls.

Just be grateful they decided to consistently swallow the whistle late in the game.
 
For anyone blaming the officials.

1. Spurs choked 2 FTs in the final minute of regulation

2. Spurs missed 2 Oreb in the final 2 defensive plays

3. manu had a TO before that play even and probably traveled and should never had attacked given how poorly he played and they needed to take a TO to get Parker in.


Spurs choked. plain and simple. Don't point fingers at the refs. It was an epic game that just ended unfortunately bad for Spurs.

Bosh had a hand in so many key plays.

and

Vogel: Pop, with the game on the line, pull out one of your best players.
Pop: Sounds like a good idea. Thanks Frank.

GET THAT SHIT OUT OF HERE.. He carried this team in the 4th on both ends. He may have had a misshap here or there, but without him we lose by 12.
Misshap here or there? He was horrific at the end of the forth and over time. Was lucky to be bailed out multiple times. Any other player in the NBA and everyone is killing him. Super stars are supposed to carry teams in the NBA and he almost cost them the game several times. Lucky for him the spurs are chocking dogs.

Spurs fans have seen their teams win titles so no they wouldn't know what it was like.

Lol, Allen fouling the shit out of Ginobli (albeit it was a pretty fucking terrible shot choice) and Bosh knocking Green 3 ft out of bounds and no calls.
Refs held their whistles at the end. Heat did not get the calls either (see Green fouling Lebron and Spurs getting the ball).

Give the heat their fucking credit, the whole team never stopped playing and came back together.
