That's why my kids named our new dog Rio. Sometimes he's good, but most of the time he's getting yelled at.

still hilarious how pop didn't trust tim fucking duncan to play defense on the last two possessions
what hope do the rest of the coaches in the league have if even he can make such a del negro level mistake

Rick Carlisle best coach in the NBA confirmed.
its not even that, although its part of it, Lebron just seems more comfortable to drive and take control without Wade. You saw that as soon as he was back in, Wade was running plays and almost threw the game

Still smarting over last night. I don't know what to say or how to feel. This series has been so weird. Neither team has had a game where everyone showed up yet. Duncan dominates but Green and Parker no show. Manu does even worse than no show, he really really screwed us. Only 13 turnovers, and 8 were by him, and many were unforced stupid ones. :/

series is over son
duncan played like this was fucking it and then gregg vogel took him out on the two most crucial possessions in the series, you don't come back from that kind of shit

I'm going to believe in the team until its a blow out for the Heat in the fourth or until there is literally no time left on the clock in a reasonable game. I just have to hope my last memory of Manu's play isn't him costing Tim his 5th title.

fuck, that was obviously a disappointing loss for the spurs.
but life goes on, and thursday is a NEW GAME. DO OR DIE.
i hope pop/tim can find a way for these guys to be mentally prepared come game time.
IT'S NOT EVEN CLOSE FROM OVER.
better team normally wins and I say spurs are a better team.
(heat were playing from behind for most of game 6)

pretty much
i still can't believe Pop. How do you not ride or die with Tim right there?
Seems those assholes who left the game early last night, tried to get back in and were pounding on the doors. Cops had to be called. I say good, lock those losers out. MAking us look bad. You don't walk out on the closing minutes of a great season, win or lose. You cheer to the final horn and then give your team a round of applause for the 100+ games of basketball they gave you this season. Embarrassing. Real fans would kill for those seats in a game like this, even if it was a blowout. PEACE.

That and not calling a time out on the rebound in OT to bring Parker back in.
#truthfact. I don't support either of these teams but I would have loved to be at this game (from Aus). Hate seeing that shit every year watching these games.
Why is there a guy in the crowd with an OKC jersey on??
Huh its a Knicks jersey eh
that whole 4th and OT was a mess from Pop
yeah I saw a video of them on the sun sentinel website talking and I was disgusted
I hope they never return to that arena, those pieces of shit

Should be banned for life from the arena, let alone allowed to come back in the waning minutes.

The fact that they missed out on an all-time classic is punishment enough.
A real fan would've never left the NBA FINALS before the game was over.

It's not like the Spurs were up by 10 in the final few minutes anyways. Why the fuck would you leave? It's just plain stupid.
Because they aren't real fans to begin with
They choked. The stars had to align for the Heat to pull out what they did last night. Crucial missed free throws, crucial offensive rebounds allowed, small things that if the Spurs even routinely executed would have them as the current champions.

So how did Pop sub out Tim if they had no timeouts? I thought it was against the rules to sub out players during an official time out? or no?
edit - nvm, I see it was mentioned already.

That was one of the most cringeworthy chokes I've ever seen. Duncan deserves better than that shit. Manu was chalmers bad.
At least we get a game 7

Any DBZ memes with LBJ's headband wash up, yet?
Agreed with all except for the 3 Parker hit.
I mean Lebron played him as well as anyone could, didn't let him drive by to the rim, and forced him to take a tough falling back 2-3 feet behind the three point line 3 pointer.
The fact that it went in was super clutch on Parker's part. Similar to the shot he hit in game 1. Lebron played great D on that possession too but Parker just made a better shot.
For this last game? Yes. But he also had a brilliant game in Game 4 to keep them in the series.
I think its all about adjustments. Wade wasn't confident in his shot so he was a liability and a person a Spurs defender could leave alone. With Wade out they loaded up with 3 point shooters and then Lebron could work 1 on 1 without the double team.
Almost the same way Miami decided to play Duncan one on one no matter what so they wouldn't leave the Spurs 3 point shooters wide open.
Miami ran the same offense late in the game. I think it could still work with Wade if only he wasn't so hesitant with his shot. When both LBJ and Wade are over thinking, hesitant, and not taking the shots the Spurs are giving them the whole offense suffers.
Wade was never a great 3 point shooter but he used to be able to at least attempt a wide open look.

Unfortunately, the wealthiest people are the ones who get tickets to these games and often they are the least dedicated fans. Just something fun "to do".
I'd kill for Game 7 tickets, but I simply can't afford it right now.
Did you see his face when the asshole bankshot three went in?
I liked the majin buu one guy said last night.

Check to see if they have seat fillers like the oscars. Maybe you can get paid to watch the game.

I count 5 steps before he was "fouled".

jeeez, how does the nba/heat expect anyone besides band wagon rich folk to get to these games?

Registered for a pair of game time lower level tix at $375/ea. I'd probably buy them if I get in, but that's alot of scratch for a single game. I've seen the Isles win the Cup at home, Yanks win the Trophy in the Bronx and the Spurs win their first at MSG....maybe I better stay home.

That's exactly why I said the blue bloods courtside are the most casual of all fans. Those are the dumbfuck soccer moms who get wiped out when a player flies at them chasing a loose ball because their head is down texting instead of watching the game.
The real fans are in the cheap seats.

he was absolutely fouled

The travel took place before any foul occurred.
It is irrelevant. The play shouldn't exist. It should have been a turnover at that moment.

wrong, manu took two steps before ray began fouling him. i would argue that it wasn't a shooting foul though so no free throws, though i don't remember if they were in the penalty or not.
why is this even a discussion, the heat are going to win this series so you can at least level with the reality that manu was fouled there.

Manu was fouled, but they let him travel as much as he wanted so it was an even no call in my eyes. If you're gonna bitch about no calls though please be sure to remember how many we were fucked on.
