Official Nickname for the Game 1 Victory, place your poll options here

[Darkwaters]

All Spurs Fans and witnesses of the events of 6 May 2013,

In the likeness of the Memorial Day Miracle, we need to nickname last night's victory. I would like to run a poll on the site, but before that, we need to gather the best suggestions for names. Please post them here and I'll start a poll in about a day.

[Darkwaters]

My first nomination:

"The Miraculous Four"

[Darius Bieber]

The Warriors against Golden State.

Referring to the role players being warriors, as well as Jefferson turning on his team per par.

[capek]

Just go with the alliterative choice, "The Four Minute Miracle." That would be my vote. Alliteration.

[B-Hath]

The Monday Midnight Miracle

[Mr.Bottomtooth]

Revenge of the Sixth

[SpurPadre]

Pre-Memorial Day Miracle

[LongtimeSpursFan]

Cinco de Manu

[manufan10]

"Manu's Midnight Miracle"

[Budkin]

"Manu's Manic Marvel"

[Nathan89]

Even though Manu hit the game winner he shouldn't have his name in it after taking that horrendous shot(also 5-20).

[lefty20]

The Manu Mania in May

[Legacy]

Like another poster (Arcadian) suggested in another thread:

"The Duncan Flu Game" :p:

He was bound to have his own "Flu Game" sometime in his career, right? Just an "under the radar" one a la Spurs-style, of course. :lol

[UZER]

Manu de Dios...ala fellow Argentinian Maradona

[JRHernandez88]

The Mistaken Miracle

[UZER]

The Comeback

[Sparrowhawk]

Ginobelieve

[spurraider21]

Just go with the alliterative choice, "The Four Minute Miracle." That would be my vote. Alliteration.

:tu


Cinco de Manu

the game happened on May 6 and ended early morning 7th tbh


"Manu's Midnight Miracle"

this is solid too. "The Midnight Miracle" alone might be solid. it would better capture the entirety of the comeback (which was the true miracle), rather than just the one shot

[FromWayDowntown]

"The Doesn't Mean a Damned Thing if the Spurs Don't Win the Series"

[Trainwreck2100]

Super splash brothers melee

[Darius McCrary]

Baldspot Bushwhackery

[silverblk mystix]

Dick Jeff - The Dick that keeps on giving!

[Legacy]

"The Doesn't Mean a Damned Thing if the Spurs Don't Win the Series"

Truthbomb. :lol

[Captivus]

The Counter-Rape Game!

[BatManu20]

The Manu Miracle or

The Four Minute Massacre

[Horry Hipcheck]

I'm on board with Midnight Miracle. I like Four Minute Miracle but I think it doesn't give enough credence to the two overtimes that were crucial battlezones.

Midnight Mayhem, perhaps? Just so we're not slapping miraculous labels on every memorable Spurs win.

[Captivus]

"The breakfast game"

[BillMc]

Cinco de Manu

:lol

[Jumi]

The Cardiac Comeback

The Golden State Spoiler

[TrueSpursFan]

Just go with the alliterative choice, "The Four Minute Miracle." That would be my vote. Alliteration.
:toast

[BatManu20]

The Breakfast of Champions game

[spurs_fan_in_exile]

The Four Minutes of Apocalypse

You got the Warriors vs. the Spurs (items worn by horsemen), Timmy with the Pestilence goods, Curry feasted for so much of the game only to play but found only Famine in the closing minutes, and Death is so often portrayed as a pale, bald, unstoppable being who comes for you at the end. Last night he wore 20.

[SouthernFried]

Everyone will remember "Duncan's Flu Game."

Even if not "officially" named that...people will remember the game Duncan had the flu.

Having said that. I like "MANU'S REDEMPTION"

[urunobili]

"Redemption"

[EJFischer]

I like The Miracle at Midnight.

[I. Hustle]

I like...


Game 1 Rd 2

[Legacy]

"The breakfast game"

:rollin

[Legacy]

Everyone will remember "Duncan's Flu Game."

Even if not "officially" named that...people will remember the game Duncan had the flu.

Having said that. I like "MANU'S REDEMPTION"

Right. Not trying to come up with any kind of "flashy" name (again it was Arcadian's suggestion in another thread)... but I will seriously remember that Duncan had the flu, simple as that, and we had to come back WITHOUT him... And we DID. :wow

[capek]

What made the win especially significant was just how much we were down, and how little time when had to come back. "Four Minute" signifies the latter, "Miracle" gives a nod to how unlikely it is to come back from 16 down in 4 minutes. So besides the fact that it's quite pithy, "The Four Minute Miracle" also has the most descriptive value, imo. #campaigning

[Legacy]

^^^ Ehh, sounds like a workout video or something to me, tbh. :lol

I just know what I'll be calling it from here on out. :p:

[Darkwaters]

I like The Miracle at Midnight.

Yea, I'm liking that one too

[ajballer4]

"The breakfast game"

:toast

[BatManu20]

Yea "The Miracle at Midnight" or "The Midnight Miracle" sounds best. Somebody stamp it and let's make this thing official :hat

[jon123spurs]

SA Screaming Lady Game

[capek]

Sorry, The Midnight Miracle is taken. It's what the girls at the local bars call me. Ya, I've trademarked that shit, so unless ya'll want to pay up...

"Someone find that screaming lady and remove her!" game.

[Juggity]

:tu "Midnight Miracle"

[DapDaGenius]

"Don't get your fuckin' hopes up, it is just one game" sounds good to me...has a ring to it.

[Blue-Lightning]

The Four Minute Miracles - there were three four minute miracles in the game.

[SpurOutofTownFan]

"This is what I do" or something like that

[DapDaGenius]

"Ultimate Fappage"

[Arcadian]

Like another poster (Arcadian) suggested in another thread:

"The Duncan Flu Game" :p:

He was bound to have his own "Flu Game" sometime in his career, right? Just an "under the radar" one a la Spurs-style, of course. :lol

Thanks for the reference. :tu That's definitely what I am calling it.

Puts into perspective how unbelievable last night was.

Hot Curry is served.

[spurraider21]

"Mama there goes that lead" was a thread title last night :lmao

[thiste]

The Screaming Lady game. That'll be the name.

[JR3]

How about, "The Never Been Done"

[lefty]

The Bold Bald BackBreaking

[JR3]

"The 4 minute Robbery"

[Man In Black]

Act 6, Scream 3!

[mercos]

"The Stomach Flu Game"
"The Golden Comeback"

Or you could always go with "Duncan's Diarrhea Game."

[Budkin]

"The Doesn't Mean a Damned Thing if the Spurs Don't Win the Series"

Yeah what was the name of Gary Neal's buzzer beater in Game 5 against the Grizz?

[racm]

Midnight Miracle sounds fitting, what with the Warriors portrayed as a Cinderella story of sorts...

[spurraider21]

If it was on the road I would go with the Golden State Escape... But I'm all for the midnight miracle

[lefty]

The Manu Trolljob

[Seventyniner]

18-2

[ShoogarBear]

I like "The Breakfast Game".

Especially since most of us couldn't get to sleep by that time.

[Dingle Barry]

The Curry and the Fury

[TampaDude]

Because of Pop's postgame comments, I'll go with "The Breakfast Game", although I do like "The Screaming Lady Game" as well. :lol

[jaffies]

"The Breakfast Game" is a little more memorable. We already have a "something something miracle" game.

[2centsworth]

Playoff teams that have led by 16 or more points with 4mins remaining were 392-0. Now it's 392-1. My vote is for "Historic Comeback Game".

[cd021]

The Midnight Special (Comeback took place entirely after midnight on the east coast at least)

[Biggems]

i was going to say the Furious Flurry.....but I thought of something else I liked better.

Trey Manufique

The Battle of 18-02

[lefty20]

Breakfast at Manu's

[spurraider21]

Midnight miracle sounded good but as somebody mentioned we already have a"something miracle." Breakfast game is fitting after pops comment

[buujness]

I like "Midnight Mayhem", as someone else had mentioned.

Maybe "Final 4:00 Squared" for the 16 (4 squared)-pt comeback...

[aal04]

Manu 101

[bigfan]

Four on the floor Manual

[unforeseen]

Don't Cry for Me Argentina

[Legacy]

Somehow I managed to block out "The Screaming Lady" while I was watching the actual game. I don't know how I did it, but I did. :wow Later, I was watching some of the highlight videos, and I was like OMFG!~! :pimpslap

[tmtcsc]

The Breakfast Game

[Darkwaters]

I like "The Breakfast Game".

Especially since most of us couldn't get to sleep by that time.

Don't get me started. I was screaming at the TV and praying there was no third OT. I had to get to work...it was like 7:30AM.

[heyheymymy]

1. the breakfast game

2. the screaming lady game

3. the 3.57 comeback

4. manu's midnight miracle

5. the four minute miracle

[Darkwaters]

Midnight miracle sounded good but as somebody mentioned we already have a"something miracle." Breakfast game is fitting after pops comment

What if we comined a few of these?

I kind of like "The Breakfast Comeback"

[heyheymymy]

the breakfast game... i own a dvr and have gotten to where i just start the games an hour late and skip all the commercials or just start it whenever i want. i had monday night off so i started the game way late, around 11pm or so, and luckily i had set the dvr to record an hour of over burn just in case, and it still cut off right after manus big 3 in 2OT, thanks to TNT for putting like 30 mins of the heat bulls ending on my dvr recording, pushing mine back... i had to go to espn.com to see if the warriors did anything with the 1.2 seconds. it was like 2-3 am by the time i finished the game and digested all the blog coverage.

it really was the breakfast game for me!

[Thompson]

The Fantastic Four (minutes and players - Manu, Kawhi, Green, and Diaw/Parker (frenchies are only half a person, so both count as 1)).

[mudyez]

"The Manuficient Tre"

[DAF86]

"Manu's magnificent monday midnight mighty memorable miracle." Or the "Breakfast game", I like that too.

[100%duncan]

"Golden State choked, tbh."

[fonzy16]

The Screaming Game
or
Dont Scream for me Argentina!

LETS GO SPURS!

[MVPCues]

"The 4 minute marathon." For a long time it was believed nobody could run a mile in 4 minutes, so the phrase "4 minute mile" became well known and a barrier/litmus test of achievement. The last 4 minutes of the game was a marathon of a comeback. Running a marathon in 4 minutes sounds so absurd, but that comeback in 4 minutes was a bit absurd.

My second vote is Game 3:57. Singling out Duncan's flu or Ginobili's game winner just doesn't feel right to me. Neither one had an historic game alone. I agree with previous posters that the nickname should express how much time was left when the comeback was started.

[mookie2001]

It's the screaming lady game. She's a national treasure

[will_spurs]

The Bold Bald BackBreaking

The "Lefty went to bed and stopped jinxing us" game.

[ginobilized]

Midnight Miracle is concise and sounds usable, should we advance to round 3.

I know there is some gold involving Curry, breakfast, Pop and Manu but my brain isn't putting it together right now

[TampaDude]

Game 1 was the first Spurs playoff game in over a week, so it broke the "fast" of no Spurs playoff games. Couple that with Pop's postgame comments, and there is only one conclusion...

THE BREAKFAST GAME!!!

[Legacy]

I think I'm just going to call it "The Breakfast Game" because here we are, at breakfast time the next day (actually what day is it, lol?)... still trying to wind down from the craziness. Plus, it makes me laugh because I think of Pop yelling at Manu, and then him kissing his ass later. So I've decided to call it "The Breakfast Game" for shits and giggles. When/if we win this series, it'll be even more funny and EPIC, IMO. :lol

So yeah... are we gonna have a poll? Yes? No?

[Amuseddaysleeper]

So it was the day after. Close enough.

[mudyez]

Thinking about it (and watching the last 20 minutes of the game again), there is no way we are not going with "the screaming lady game".

The Four Minute Drill.
