2013 NBA Finals, Game 4: Spurs vs. Heat - June 13 @ 8 PM CT

[007nites]

Finally Timmy. Fuck

[dg7md]

WHY IS FUCKING MANU STILL OUT THERE

[HarlemHeat37]

It's amazing how Danny Green outside of the arc is arguably the best shooter in the NBA, but Danny Green inside the arc is a D-League player, tbh..

[100%duncan]

Manu's done. Parker's injured. Wow.

[spurspokesman]

green tring to hero ball

[100%duncan]

Wade :lol

[RuffnReadyOzStyle]

I hate it when Green dribbles baseline - he's turned it over at least twice doing that today.

[100%duncan]

Wow Manu GTFO.

[Spurs Brazil]

Manu....

[KaiRMD1]

I have a feeling we're about to quit

[Spurs21Fan4Ever]

Well game is over. Parker is gone.

[RuffnReadyOzStyle]

Wade has had his best game in a long time.

[loveforthegame]

FU Manu

[BatManu20]

RIP Manu RIP Manu RIP Manu

[GSH]

Manu jacking up long bricks. We're fucked.

[dg7md]

That's it. Game over.

[BatManu20]

Game over.

[Darius Bieber]

Series done

[Strategic]

Sorry homers, that's about all I have for MG tonight.

[100%duncan]

BRING KAWHI IN FOR MANU FUCK YOU POP.

[timtonymanu]

Miami's got all the momentum.

[Spurs21Fan4Ever]

Wade will suck the rest of the series.

[Brunodf]

Is Kawhi injured? Wtf?

[easjer]

This sucks. That lineup was terrible. It feels like they just don't give a shit. FFS.

[szkorhetz]

We are bad, and we should feel bad.

[dbreiden83080]

How are we even in the finals with Manu being this bad? How is it even possible??

[RuffnReadyOzStyle]

Get Manu the fuck OUT. Why is KL sitting???

[100%duncan]

BRING KAWHI BACK IN FUCKING IDIOT.

[HarlemHeat37]

Finally a high-low to Duncan..he has been effective every time he gets the ball in a comfortable spot, tbh..

[crc21209]

Kawhi should be in on Wade right now not Diaw...

[spurspokesman]

manu has shit the bed

[Strategic]

see what was done to Timmy there. why haven't the Spurs been making the heat shoot free throws?

[CGD]

Bosh is doing a masterful job fronting Tim.

[GSH]

Parker with no points and an assist or two in the second half. He's not the same player, and we're screwed.

[easjer]

I love Manu, but I'm done. Fucking hell. Make it stop, because it hurts to watch.

[RD2191]

Series over tbh

[Baam]

Why take Boris out and not MANU??????????

[SpursRulez4eVeR]

What a disappointment Manu has been..

[Spurs21Fan4Ever]

Garbage buckets for Miami.

[100%duncan]

MANU GINOBILI :lol

[GSH]

Manu is a one man wrecking crew.

[eds]

manu :bang

[RuffnReadyOzStyle]

Manu cannot make a shot to save his life. :depressed

[Spurs Brazil]

Manu is done

[loveforthegame]

Thanks Manu. Thanks for nothing.

[Texas_Ranger]

Manu needs to retire

[phxspurfan]

Spurs wilting

[crc21209]

Manu with another stupid pass...:td

[stephen jackson]

hahahhahahahah omg manu is sad tbh

[m33p0]

send in neal for manu.

[Avitus1]

fucking shit....

[Juggity]

Game over. This series is on Manu if we lose. Wow. Wow, he has been bad.

This dude should just retire if this is what he brings to the table.

[Dingle Barry]

south america sucks ass

[Spurs21Fan4Ever]

OK, done with Ginobili, -21.

[Darius McCrary]

Never been so disgusted with Manu. Never.

[mikec]

manu done

[RuffnReadyOzStyle]

Fuck, what is Manu doing in this game. He's been atrocious. People shit on Splitter, but Manu has been worse. I love the guy, but he has to sit RIGHT NOW.

[BillMc]

Tough series for Manu

[easjer]

This wasn't necessarily must-win, but the Spurs seriously diminish their chances by losing. Letting Wade and Bosh go off like this . . . I'm just pissed.

[sammy]

No ball movement! Rushed shots! Come on Spurs get it together!

[m33p0]

green and neal still shooting well. there's still time.

[TDfan2007]

Manu is having one of the worst games of his life. Tiago too.

[hommeaetage]

Manu needs to be benched

[OrEmuN]

Manu killed us...

[The_Coyote]

D. Wade a la 2006 and Manu a la 2020

[Trifecta]

Game over!!!!

Miami punches the Spurs in the mouth and they are soft!!! They need an enforcer!

Series over!!!

[CGD]

How long do you go with Manu over Neal here?
Manu is clearly bothered by the athleticism, and doesnt have the fast shot release.

[Strategic]

Come on Pop if Spurs are gonna get their asses beat at least let young guys learn. Get MG off the damn court. If Neal is only worth a few hundred grand a year then Manu is hard earning a vet's minimum next year.

[Nathan89]

Pop playing Manu 21 minutes is some terrible coaching.

Why is 21yo Kawhi not on pace to reach 40 minutes?

[james evans]

ginobli and splitter are playing horrible. wade is on fire though. a few bad calls here and there, but not enough to complain over officiating in the 2nd half

[KaiRMD1]

Remember when Manu was our only hope for anything?

[siraulo23]

Dwade dominated, bosh protected the rim Lebron was Lebron, their rotation was superb

Spurs still have one run left on them this game hopefully, on to the next game

[eds]

i wanna see a gsw series game 1 comeback..

[Capt Bringdown]

I think the Spurs needed this game in order to win the title. Especially since Manu is sucking so badly.

[Trifecta]

Game over!!!!

Miami punches the Spurs in the mouth and they are soft!!! They need an enforcer!

Series over!!!

[Spurs21Fan4Ever]

Manu and Splitter are to blame for this. Sucks.

[LakerHater]

a Lay Up!!!!?

[GSH]

Manu cannot make a shot to save his life. :depressed


Or a pass.
Or penetrate.
Or a rebound.

[RuffnReadyOzStyle]

Game over!!!!

Miami punches the Spurs in the mouth and they are soft!!! They need an enforcer!

Series over!!!

Game has 5 mins left and series will be 2-2.

Don't let the door hit your arse on the way out, quitter. :rolleyes

[100%duncan]

Just let Green and Neal jack up 3's now tbh

[Trifecta]

turnovers cost us a lot this game

16 TOs so far!!!

[james evans]

i hope ginobli puts in his retirement paperwork tonight to be finalized by the morning

[timtonymanu]

2-2 means nothing, but the Spurs just gave life back to Miami. They have to win Game 5 and Game 6 now.

[Jenks]

Zero urgency, all game.

[Juggity]

Manu should see zero minutes in game 5. Seriously.

The guy is absolute shit right now.

[Baam]

Fuck Pop for giving up

[Capt Bringdown]

Defense wins championships. Miami took over the game with their defense and transition baskets.

[RuffnReadyOzStyle]

We knew it wasn't going to be an easy series. 2-2 is a long way from over. Win game 5 and we have them on the ropes again. We know we can win in Miami.

[SpursChampsIII]

Fuck Miami, fuck these bitch officials, and Manu better be ready to take a pay cut.

[Spurs21Fan4Ever]

Why does Pop only make adjustments after losses?

[m33p0]

turnovers have killed the spurs tonight.

[loveforthegame]

Bummer loss. Spurs shouldn't need wake up calls in the Finals.

[Darius Bieber]

Spurs don't deserve winning the championship playin like this shit.

[Whisky Dog]

Fuck just didnt play well enough to win this game. It's going to be very tough now that they've let the heat get back a little rhythm

[Southwest Texas Fan]

Miami doubling Tim.

[Dingle Barry]

Disappointed with all of the big 3 tbh. This is your last chance. Fuck!

[RuffnReadyOzStyle]

Next game - play Boris a lot more, use Manu like you use Neal (quick with the hook), hope for the best.

[Baam]

Pop is the best at giving up

[mikec]

heat brought down the hammer tonight and responded from a loss as they've been doing these playoffs. defense was superb. on to game 5.

[hommeaetage]

This team is so fucking soft

[Spurs21Fan4Ever]

Miami outhustling Spurs tonight,

[GSH]

Manu used to be our backup PG, for all practical purposes. Now he isn't. They're eating CoJo's lunch. I think Pop should bring in DeColo, just to see what he can do.

[timtonymanu]

Miami came with the expected energy. The Spurs once again couldn't capitalize. Oh well, be ready for Game 5, I guess.

[dbreiden83080]

Manu needs to play very limited min the rest of the series.. He is giving us nothing frankly he is killing us.

[Darius McCrary]

This series is over and i cannot believe Manu fucked this team this way. absolutely insane how bad he was

[Baam]

Lol at Pop still playing Manu what a tard

[RuffnReadyOzStyle]

Heat came to play - Wade, Bosh, LBJ all excellent, and their D was much better. We have to find some wrinkles and come out strong in game 5. Win game 5 and I think we win game 6 and the series. Lose it and the series might go 7 but we'll be on the wrong end of it.

[Capt Bringdown]

2-2 means nothing, but the Spurs just gave life back to Miami. They have to win Game 5 and Game 6 now.

Uhh, it means everything. Miami now has homecourt advantage. But you're right, the Spurs must win games 5 & 6. I don't see that happening, however.

[Nathan89]

Although Blair missed that it was a nice play that he can finish. Splitter is a fucking bum.

[eds]

finally manu

[RuffnReadyOzStyle]

This series is over and i cannot believe Manu fucked this team this way. absolutely insane how bad he was

LEAVE then and don't come back.

MESSAGE TO ALL QUITTERS: FUCK OFF, WE DON'T WANT YOU HERE. Front-running weakarsed bitches are not welcome here. You pound the rock and fight to the end or get fucked.

[LakerHater]

Can't Touch a Mac Truck!

[Trifecta]

At least no team has lost two straight in this series - need this trend to keep up!!!!
In fact, could be wrong, but I don't believe the spurs have been behind in any of their finals series.

[$pursDynasty]

Manu where he needs to be playing with the deep bench, Pop needs to adjust his rotation moving Tiago and Manu waaaaaaaay down in it.

[Juggity]

Fuck Miami, fuck these bitch officials, and Manu better be ready to take a pay cut.

Manu better be ready to be cut from the team if he continues letting them down like this. Jesus

[Southwest Texas Fan]

This series is over and i cannot believe Manu fucked this team this way. absolutely insane how bad he was

It's a tied series.

[RD2191]

Miami has not and will not lose back to back games. Good season tho. Let splitter and manu walk this offseason.

[BillMc]

Well, Game 5 is huge now. They're all huge now.

[Spurs Brazil]

Game 5 is a must win. If we lose it's over

[RuffnReadyOzStyle]

Manu needs to play very limited min the rest of the series.. He is giving us nothing frankly he is killing us.

Yep, but sadly Pop will keep playing him out of loyalty.

If only Manu could re-discover his 3pter he'd be okay, but without that he's a total liability as the D stays up on him and he's not quick enough to blow-by any more. Sad to see.

[soxxx]

Screw you guys giving up, Miami got big games from their big 3. Time to get refocused and come out determined in game 5.

[RuffnReadyOzStyle]

Manu needs to play very limited min the rest of the series.. He is giving us nothing frankly he is killing us.

Yep, but sadly Pop will keep playing him out of loyalty.

[littleavery1948]

How are we even in the finals with Manu being this bad? How is it even possible??


Because the NBA is weak this year. I have been watching, and I am unimpressed by either team. The 2007 Spurs would sweep this version of the Spurs, and would beat Miami in 5. The NBA is so weak, that it is comical. Somebody has to be in the Finals, and someone, unfortunately has to win a championship. Whoever plays the least crappy will win the championship. The 2003 Nets could, hell, the 1999 Knicks would push either one of these teams to seven games.

[$pursDynasty]

I start Diaw next game, the only good thing Tiago did was hit his free throws

[m33p0]

don't be surprised at how the heat played tonight. they needed the win otherwise they're dead. spurs just couldn't match it.

from what i saw
* we absolutely need tony in there. coz whenever cojo came in to spell him, our energy dropped.
* game 3 lights out performance by tango & cash wasn't a fluke. spurs simply failed to find them.
* spurs have to consciously get tim established early.
* have to changed up the defensive scheme on lebron and wade. it's not going to work anymore. they took it into their heads to accept the challenge and came up on top.

[$pursDynasty]

Lebron is such a front runner the jumpers come easy when he has a comfortable lead

[twincam]

I'm wondering if this game was thrown....Pop took his starters so early in the 4th?

[eds]

This series is over and i cannot believe Manu fucked this team this way. absolutely insane how bad he was

dude heat win its basically back to game 1 series tied not over
gtfo

[$pursDynasty]

I am glad Manu finished the game, he didn't deserve to sit and stew with the starters, Tiago should have been out there too

[sammy]

pop threw in the towel with 4 minutes and they still have their starters! WTF! I blame Pop for this! We were hitting shots with Green and Leonard and he took out Timmy & Green! So they think they are so good by jacking up the score after Pop threw in the towel! What a bunch of classless assholes!

[littleavery1948]

What a joke these finals are. Lose by 19, win by 39, lose by 16.

[Jenks]

Start praying Parker is 100% for game 5, because they're not gonna win with him at 95%

[RuffnReadyOzStyle]

:lmao I watched a lot of ball and didn't see that.

Manu was okay during the regular season, but as the screws have tightened in the playoffs his lack of speed has been shown up and his 3 has disappeared. He has suddenly gotten old. Happens to the best of players, and he is one of the greats... but he has to play as little as possible from here on in.


Well played Miami - they didn't win 66 games for no reason. They deserved the win tonight.

[james evans]

we'll win game 5 and close it out in game 6. lebron and wade killed us. splitter and ginobli too. we did well by not leaving miller an allen open, but pop made no adjustments. he stayed with the same game plan and played ginobli too long. i'd like to see diaw get splitter's minutes. he was stupid immediately from the tipoff. the heat are taking turns blocking and stripping him.

also, why does van gundy sound so sad and upset when the heat are losing?

[boutons_deux]

Spurs BADLY outplayed on both ends.

I doubt SA can win a game in MIA, even if they win Sunday.

[Choosemorelove]

The South Americans are failing us.
Maybe Splitter, but we won't win without Ginobili.
If someone can get that message to him.

Thanks.

[noles1983]

well im 4-0 so far, i have the spurs winning 5 and 6. Not looking good with this shit performance. Fuck you spurs for tonight at least. Looks like another few days of avoiding the lebron media suckfest

[m33p0]

spurs fans crucifying manu per par :lol

[efrem1]

Well, that was crummy

[JohnnySixString]

Oh well. This is Spurs basketball.


Don't take it so seriously people, it's just a game and we're not even playing. You'll give yourself a stroke being a Spurs fan.

[DMX7]

Tony Parker with 0 points in the second half.

[Jalen Rose]

Joseph should not be allowed to play the rest of this series. T-Mac should be the one coming in and running the point along with Turnobili.

[crc21209]

I think it's a slap in the face to leave Wade, Bosh, and James in when the game is clearly over. And of course LeBron makes all his jumpers when the game is out of reach...:lol

[sammy]

For all of those giving up on the Spurs and calling it over! GTFO! I picked the Spurs to win in 6! So we will win Game 5 and Game 6! Fuck those assholes jacking up the score when Pop had already thrown in the towel with 4 minutes left in the game! Fucking fans were so quiet! I would've been cheering to the end to get my team in the game! They were quiet liking fucking mice!

[siraulo23]

Their big 3 more than showed up, spurs cant win if dwade and James play like that, the difference was wade, their d and spurs offence being tentative

[twincam]

Odd, the Spurs didn't run their high screen and rolls. Just odd. not spurs basketball...
Something gives here......hmmm...prolonging the series maybe?

[RuffnReadyOzStyle]

[james evans]

i've never seen a player fall off so bad that he can't even complete a simple pass in transition. wtf

[Strategic]

I'll give this one to Pop. Looks like he was very much making sure that no one had their feelings hurt in between games. Maybe next time he'll focus on matchups?

[The_Coyote]

:rolleyes Spo leaving Lebron in until the final buzzer. If I'm a Heat fan, I'm not happy with that. What happens if Lebron gets injured playing meaningless minutes?

[Jalen Rose]

Joseph should not be allowed to play the rest of this series. T-Mac should be the one coming in and running the point along with Turnobili.

[littleavery1948]

I think it's a slap in the face to leave Wade, Bosh, and James in when the game is clearly over. And of course LeBron makes all his jumpers when the game is out of reach...:lol

It is easy to hit shots when there is no pressure. Anyone on this board can hit wide open shots late in a game that is already in hand (won't call it a blowout), afterall, the basket is still 10 feet high, and the ball is still the same size. If you quit, then you deserve to have the score ran up on you. San Antonio got what they deserved in games 2 and 4, and Miami got what they deserved in game 3. I have watched plenty of NBA, yeah, this is a joke.

[Southwest Texas Fan]

I think it's a slap in the face to leave Wade, Bosh, and James in when the game is clearly over. And of course LeBron makes all his jumpers when the game is out of reach...:lol

Spurs need to remember that!

[SpurPadre]

I think it's a slap in the face to leave Wade, Bosh, and James in when the game is clearly over. And of course LeBron makes all his jumpers when the game is out of reach...:lol

This is where we miss Stak5, he would've clipped Wade in the kneecap at that point just like Horry fucked up Nash.

[littleavery1948]

:rolleyes Spo leaving Lebron in until the final buzzer. If I'm a Heat fan, I'm not happy with that. What happens if Lebron gets injured playing meaningless minutes?

Spo wants payback, and I am sure that Popavich does not mind. I don't like Spo, though, because I think he is merely a Pat Riley puppet, yet gets all of the credit. I could coach that team to the playoffs. Hell, anyone can.

[TampaDude]

Parker looked fine, as expected. Miami played with far more intensity, knowing they cannot afford to go down 3-1.

Folks, this is a heavyweight fight...who will be left standing at the end?

Had the Spurs won tonight, they would take it in 5, but now this series is going 7, with the Heat winning it all, just as they were supposed to. Nobody ever loses Game 7 on their home floor. It just doesn't fucking happen.

[timtonymanu]

I think it's a slap in the face to leave Wade, Bosh, and James in when the game is clearly over. And of course LeBron makes all his jumpers when the game is out of reach...:lol

Fine with me. Just shows the Spurs that they let another opportunity go. Keep embarrassing them, tbh.

[TampaDude]

Odd, the Spurs didn't run their high screen and rolls. Just odd. not spurs basketball...
Something gives here......hmmm...prolonging the series maybe?

It's in the script, right?

[ballhog]

Hey, they did keep Miller in check tonight. 0 points. Fucking Wade couldn't miss.

[timtonymanu]

Just following the trend, tbh.

Spurs sweep the 1st and 3rd round.
Spurs win in 6 the 2nd and 4th round.

[twincam]

It's in the script, right?

yup

[SpursDynasty21]

The refs were terrible. It's games like this one that make people think that the NBA is rigged.

[SpurPadre]

Well, the Heat played very well but I'm pretty disgusted with the team's lack of energy after the 15-5 lead to start the game. It's like they simply expected the Heat to roll over from that. Spoelstra said he didn't recognize his team after Game 3. Well, I feel the same way about the Spurs now and it clearly starts with Manu and Splitter. It's especially depressing watching Manu out there now. It's like watching your favorite boxer still fighting at age 44 and punch-drunk. And Splitter's softness makes Rasho look like Shaq.

Manu does not get in rythmn…Too many plays for Green and Neal.. nobody wins a championship by just relying on 3s, to be honest

[Johnny RIngo]

Manu does not get in rythmn…Too many plays for Green and Neal.. nobody wins a championship by just relying on 3s, to be honest

:lol at Manu needing even more shots to get in rythym. At this point, Green and Neal are more reliable players than Manure.
