2013 NBA Finals, Game 5: Spurs vs. Heat - June 16 @ 7 PM CT

[HI-FI]

some really beautiful stuff going on here. let's just keep it up, one more quarter.

[Tim_duncan21]

take that ******

[MANUNG-Ginobili]

MANUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUNG GINOBILIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIII!!!

[BatManu20]

One more quarter guys. One more quarter.

[SpurSwag]

Parker has been spectacular too tbh

[Kidd K]

LOL designated referee defender at it again.

He's 67% Heat fan, 33% Spurfan from what I've seen. He's going to take their side every time.

[Ghjkll]

Manu is old and has declined, but you can´t deny that the guy is a natural born winner. Even if he is broken down, he may come up with the winning play. Let´s pray that god let him play 1 or 2 more game like these. It would be a perfect ending to a wonderful career.

[100%duncan]

HarlemHeat37 the non-calls for the Spurs have been fucking awful. Wake the fuck up, open your eyes and remove that Lebron jizz all over your face tbh.

[Budkin]

Please don't fold in the 4th

[elemento]

Manu taking a dump on his haters

THANK GOD he is back ! It was about damn time

[Floyd Pacquiao]

we gino-believe

[Tmac3]

Got my blood pressure high let's close it out spurs

[easjer]

One more quarter is ALL that matters. One more fucking quarter. You have to take this quarter.

[spurspokesman]

Parker should be well rested. Would be nice to seal this game with him on the bench

[ffadicted]

HarlemHeat37 (http://www.spurstalk.com/forums/member.php?u=11597) the non-calls for the Spurs have been fucking awful. Wake the fuck up, open your eyes and remove that Lebron jizz all over your face tbh.

[Killakobe81]

Great game by Manu, those defending him last game are both indicted and vindicated tonight. IF Manu can play like this he surely could of donemore last game. Maybe if he played like this you guys are planning a parade early this week ...

[Jenks]

ok get manu out

[Southwest Texas Fan]

We need the Ditka thread.

[Rogue]

Heat can't believe what they're seeing. only thing they could do on the court is watch the Spurs score w/o doing anything.

[lefty]

manu wtf

[BatManu20]

Wtf Manu stop shooting fall away 3's. Let's go offense.

[Tim_duncan21]

go go go go go go

[ballhog]

Bad possession. Bad lineup

[Juggity]

bad possession there...

[BatManu20]

Wtf offense get your shit together. Let's go. It's the 4th quarter.

[loveforthegame]

Come on Spurs!

Get Parker in there.

[Budkin]

Wow..

[Killakobe81]

And I dont think anyone ever question his heart or his brass balls Manu is probably the greatest competitor (not player) to wear a Spurs uniform ...

[Knoxxx]

OMG we're up in rebounding 30-28!

[Knoxxx]

Foul Battier what an ass!

[GSH]

That oughta be about 9 on Battier.

[soxxx]

Defense!!!

[ballhog]

Lineup change. Good move.

[Jenks]

ok leave Manu in

[100%duncan]

Keep the simple play.

[loveforthegame]

Great pass, finish, play.

[ballhog]

Stomp on their necks!

[soxxx]

skip bayless called this, he did, gj skip, gj Manu

[Raven]

great to not have lost it at the start of the quarter

[SpurSwag]

Thank You Manu

[100%duncan]

Execute damnit.

[Baam]

Boris is doing great

[Spurs Brazil]

Manu again!!!

[spurspokesman]

Please win spurs

[Budkin]

Fuck yes Manu!!!!!

[BatManu20]

Got to Diaw in the post every time if they're going to keep Battier on him. If they switch, go to Timmy every time. Let's go.

[AASATX]

Finally the Manu game we've been waiting for.

[100%duncan]

Diaw is making Lebron his bitch on defense.

[BC3]

GINOBILIEVE!

[dg7md]

I feel better with our lead now and with Parker/Duncan coming back in.

I am very impressed with Diaw's defense on LeBron, too.

Don't let the Heat cut it to less than 7...

:flag:

[Floyd Pacquiao]

i love you manu...

[ballhog]

I get nervous whenever Splitter touches the ball.....

[RuffnReadyOzStyle]

Manu shows his Warrior's heart. :toast

He's done this so many times in his career, just needs to finish it off tonight and do it once more... ;)

[timtonymanu]

Can the game just end now so the Spurs can be up 3-2? :lol

[polandprzem]

Diaw is making Lebron his bitch on defense.

bit harsh























:fight

[Juggity]

Lead us to the promised land Manu. I apologize for all my criticisms

[100%duncan]

Hold on. Please.

[Budkin]

Please god spurs keep this lead!

[Knoxxx]

Come on Spurs!

Get Parker in there.

We want Parker for the end game so we sit him as long as possible especially with double digit lead.

[ballhog]

Lebron unable to plow through with Diaw out there

[Spurs Brazil]

Diaw with a great game

[RuffnReadyOzStyle]

Diaw is making Lebron his bitch on defense.

Yep, Diaw is too strong and long for him in the post. I like oscillating between Diaw and Leonard on him as it keeps him off-balance.

[Captivus]

Lebron and Wade...still with no fouls

[Jenks]

Can the game just end now so the Spurs can be up 3-2? :lol
If it did I might be able to sleep tonight by 3-4 am. So no, it will go down to the wire and I'll have to use a sick day tomorrow.

[kjhip1]

Manu just being the competitor he is. Lets hope he can sustain this from here on out. I keep thinking one day Green will cool down but I have never in my 29 years seen shooting like this in a finals!!! 10 min left lets get this!

[RuffnReadyOzStyle]

Diaw with a great game

I was calling the shit out of it in games 2 and 3, and Pop finally listened (or maybe Boris's back loosened up...) :lol

[Spurs Brazil]

Kawhi 33333333333333333333333333333333333333

[ballhog]

Leonard!!!!

[loveforthegame]

Leonard!!

[SpurSwag]

KAWHIIII

[AASATX]

Kawhi! Keep it up guys!

[SpurSwag]

TIMMY!!!

[Spurs Brazil]

Tim Duncan!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!

[loveforthegame]

Great follow Duncan. :tu

[Raven]

that looks good :)

[ballhog]

Nice follow Timmmmmmmmyyyyy!

[BatManu20]

LET'S GO.

[Crookshanks]

19-1 Run!!! :wow :flag:

[cutewizard]

Spursssssssssssssssssss wiiiiiiiiiinnnnnnnnnnnnnnnnnnn

[100%duncan]

Yep, Diaw is too strong and long for him in the post. I like oscillating between Diaw and Leonard on him as it keeps him off-balance.

Don't forget Green :tu

[cutewizard]

MANU is the besttttttttttttttttttttttttttttttttttttttttttttttt tttt

[100%duncan]

KaWow.

[Knoxxx]

Diaw with a great game

Diaw got those crazy long waving arms James don't know want to think but jumper is taken away along with post bullying.

[polandprzem]

1 more push and all the nerves will be on Tuseday

[cutewizard]

we shall be up , 3-2

what happens now?????????????????

[SpursRulez4eVeR]

:downspin:

[Spursnlego]

19-1 Run!!! :wow :flag:
And watch how if the Spurs win this will not be mentioned....

[Spurs Brazil]

Green made all big shots when the Heat got closer. HUGE game

[Floyd Pacquiao]

playing like they fucking want it

[cutewizard]

Diaw can defend James

[Juggity]

Spurs offense induces tears of joy

[Rogue]

Like i said last night, game 5 would be a toss-up and would be the last chance for spurs to win anymore games in this series. too bad DMC was wrong about this one :depressed

[Knoxxx]

19-1 Run!!! :wow :flag:

Keep it up would be great to rest our core guys down the stretch!

[cutewizard]

wade with the chicken game, he cannot score


lol

[easjer]

we shall be up , 3-2

what happens now?????????????????

Lot of basketball left to play. Heat go on a mini run and the game is close. Spurs need to maintain their focus and close it out.

[RuffnReadyOzStyle]

Don't forget Green :tu

Nah, except for a couple of nice plays on the break, LBJ has killed Green most of the time - too weak, punishes him in the post. I'd stick with the other two.

[100%duncan]

Let's fucking go!

[SpurSwag]

The more I watch it the more I think Diaw actually might be one of the best defenders in the league to put on Lebron. It sounds absolutely ridiculous, but the way Diaw plays him either forces him to shoot a jumper (which is his weakest skill, though still pretty good) or try to get by him, but Diaw is so big and strong that it takes a toll on Lebron and makes him think twice. I haven't seen him try to drive through Boris many times in this series and Diaw has become my favorite guy on the Spurs to put on him

[polandprzem]

we shall be up , 3-2

what happens now?????????????????
much tougher game 6

[Budkin]

Love this team

[ballhog]

Shit.Blood pressure spiking

[RuffnReadyOzStyle]

Green made all big shots when the Heat got closer. HUGE game

Yeah, CLUTCH AS FUCK all series.

[Captivus]

You're not hallucinating, I've thought that all season. ;)

[Budkin]

What???????

[BatManu20]

WTF these refs are GARBAGE

[Knoxxx]

Duncan/Diaw mad defense with those long arms and effort!

[easjer]

I'm so confused.

[100%duncan]

Hold on.

[loveforthegame]

Good job Leonard.

[RuffnReadyOzStyle]

"Keep pounding on that rock!

It isn't meant to be easy... this is the Finals!"

-Pop

[Juggity]

Kawhi leonard sons

[Knoxxx]

Van Gumby needs to STFU what a horrible announcer! That's a foul (on Diaw) he squeals!

[RuffnReadyOzStyle]

I'm so confused.

About what?

[Spurs Brazil]

Brother is a big SOB

[BatManu20]

Dude WTF are these refs doing?!?!

[loveforthegame]

Diaw getting shafted here.

[Budkin]

That guy is awful!!!

[AASATX]

Refs..

[Spurs Brazil]

Brother with another call

KILL THIS MOFO

[loveforthegame]

Fuck Green.

[SupremeGuy]

LMAO here come the refs

[Raven]

refs not even hiding it now.

[cutewizard]

shithole refs

what kinds of fouls are those??????????????

[HI-FI]

damn these refs fucking suck.

can't we just compete fair and square. wtf man.

[Crookshanks]

Here come the whistles. :bang

[Knoxxx]

Wow even Van Gumby agrees when Diaw gets elbowed in the face.

[BatManu20]

Refs are completely fucking us right now.

[ballhog]

2 4 pt plays in one game??? WTF

[easjer]

About what?

What was happening. Boxscore was behind. I think I'm caught up now. (baby is in bed, we're debating turning it back on.)

[Budkin]

Green again!!!!! Fuck!!!!

[cutewizard]

fuc the refs

[Slydragon]

Fuck refs

[RuffnReadyOzStyle]

There's no conspiracy, but by fucking hell there have been some bad calls tonight.

[bluebellmaniac]

Refs on the hotline to Stern...

[ffadicted]

stay strong boys

[cutewizard]

FUCKKKKKKKKKKKKKKKKKKKK YOU STERN!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!

[timtonymanu]

Tony Brothers is such an ugly MFer.

[Knoxxx]

tbh you could call a foul on Miami every other possession.

[Pauleta14]

I need a link!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!

Please someone PM me a link to the game!!

[ballhog]

These refs are a joke....

[100%duncan]

Refs :lmao

[Austin_Toros]

lmao i'm loving how Miami's scoring stalled

[Juggity]

I'm not one to complain about the refs, but the calls against DIaw there were inarguably bad

[loveforthegame]

Yes leave Allen open. Smart.

[BatManu20]

Don't fucking leave Ray Allen.

[loveforthegame]

:bang

[Spurs Brazil]

Tony Brothers started that run. SOB

[cutewizard]

FUCK MIAMI

[bluebellmaniac]

4 guys packing the paint, pass it out TD!!!

[ballhog]

Refs giving Miami momentum again.

[BatManu20]

Time out. Come on Spurs. Stop fucking around. 21 point lead to 13 points in 2 minutes....

[mexpurs21]

Fuck those idiot refs

[Budkin]

Fuck you Spurs!!!!

[Crookshanks]

Lead cut to 13 because of BS calls. Shut up announcers - Miami had little to do with it.

[Knoxxx]

I'm not one to complain about the refs, but the calls against DIaw there were inarguably bad

They are momentum killers that are keeping Miami in the game, and it's been going on most all series not sure where you been.

edit: I get it you never blame the refs LOL

[angelbelow]

Mental mistakes hurting us. We started similarly in at the beginning of the 3rd but ended up closing out strong thanks to Manu Ginobili.

[timtonymanu]

I'm not one that normally complains about refs, but Tony Brothers has been fucking horrible tonight.

His horrible calls have given Miami momentum. The Spurs have to keep fighting through it.

[Budkin]

Danny Green horrible foul smh

[polandprzem]

Spurs fall asleep again

[spurspokesman]

terrible play by green for a stretch there. leaving allen and giving up a 4 pt play. sheesh

[dg7md]

That second 4-point play with Allen was inexcusable.

13 points is nothing at this point. We need to make stops.

[Texas_Ranger]

wow, this refs, are just wow...

[Nathan89]

Lead cut to 13 because of BS calls. Shut up announcers - Miami had little to do with it.

They hit two wide open threes.

[easjer]

And voila - 20 point lead reduced to 13. I knew there was too much game left. Please, please, please Spurs don't fucking blow it now. Calm down, regain control, do what you do well.

[RuffnReadyOzStyle]

Bosh has been impressive this series. Tougher than I thought, and very smart.

[Jenks]

I'm not one to complain about the refs
Because they are clearly impartial, and in no way started calling the game differently both time the Spurs went up big to get the Heat back into the game.

[Spurs Brazil]

[MeloHype]

:bang

[twincam]

One of these days, they will learn from allowing Allen wide opened. He's only a premier three point threat. That's all. 7 points in less than 30 seconds for him. they the defensive breakdown in the paint once again...
come on guys....20 point lead is not a guarantee in the Finals.....

[TampaDude]

Refs trying to get the score close for the Heat, per par.

[100%duncan]

Holy fuck

[RD2191]

:lmao Spurs

[Budkin]

I'm not one that normally complains about refs, but Tony Brothers has been fucking horrible tonight.

His horrible calls have given Miami momentum. The Spurs have to keep fighting through it.

Did you see the way he stared down Pop and basically told him to get the fuck out of his face? Asshole

[Crookshanks]

Spurs need to regroup and refocus. We need another run of our own to get the crowd back in it. Gotta play smart to beat the refs.

[Juggity]

momentum. One minute the spurs have it in spades, next minute Miami has it in spades.

This is the most runs I've ever seen in a series. Truly crazy stuff.

Please finish strong, spurs. This is your shot.

[Two10Whitey]

I hate complaining about the refs bit damn... This is ridiculous.

[Thebesteva]

Game 6 2002 in the house :lol

[Floyd Pacquiao]

how can you leave ray allen open?

[Kidd K]

This is one of the worst officiated games I've seen all season. Reminding me of game 6 last year tbh.

[spurspokesman]

I hate these absurd calls.

[ballhog]

http://cdn.bleacherreport.net/images_root/slides/photos/002/292/388/85439904_crop_650x440.jpg?1338884844 :flipoff:flipoff:flipoff:flipoff:flipoff:flipoff:f lipoff:flipoff:flipoff:flipoff

Fucking jackass ref

[MannyIsGod]

So nervous. A 20 point lead against Miami feels like a 10 point lead against everyone else.

[Nathan89]

What is sad is the Spurs would have packed it in.

[maverick1948]

I love the foul on Diaw's face. Takes a forearm to the neck and face.

[easjer]

Yes, refs suck. Yes, they've fucked us over. Yes, Ray Allen hit OPEN 3's. FFS. Turnovers and second chance points, man. Spurs have to play SMART.

[blkroadrunners]

C'mon, continue to push the pace..

[BatManu20]

Refs + falling asleep is killing us. Wake the fuck up and go win this thing. Stay aggressive!!!

[FromWayDowntown]

Tony Brithers having such bad night that now he won't even stand where the officials normally do during timeouts and is hanging out at the scorer's table. The venom from the other side of the floor must be impressive.

Never seen that before.

[twincam]

Time to play halfcourt offense. No more pushing. Use the clock cause they cannot seem to figure out their own defense.

[Budkin]

Finish strong!!!!

[sammy]

Need Manu back in! These fucking crooked refs!

[spurspokesman]

game 6 okc all over smh

[bbarry]

I'm very nervous about this lead right. now. Down to 13 with plenty of time. Spurs gotta do something right now.

[TampaDude]

TBH, if the Spurs blow a 20-point lead in the 4th, at home, they don't deserve to win the title.

[100%duncan]

So nervous. A 20 point lead against Miami feels like a 10 point lead against everyone else.

You got that shit on reverse

[BatManu20]

Come on Tony...

[Budkin]

Can't believe this

[RD2191]

Spurs are shitting the bed

[soxxx]

My heart is racing.

[Jenks]

Wait, WE got a momentum changing call??????????

[easjer]

Spurs just have to get back to playing like they want to win it. It was never going to be handed to them. FUCKING PLAY.

[Jenks]

HOLY DUNCAN

[SpurSwag]

VINTAGE TIMMY

[loveforthegame]

Timmy!!!

[ballhog]

Timmmyyyyyyy

[BatManu20]

Wade is unreal

[SpurSwag]

MANUUUUU

[Spurs Brazil]

Manuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuu

[AASATX]

Manu on fire!

[loveforthegame]

Manuuuuuu!!!

[ballhog]

Manu!!!!!!!!!!!!

[100%duncan]

Execute damnit

[HI-FI]

Kawhi just doing what he do. Nothing new here.

[cutewizard]

Manu buries the fucker james

[BatManu20]

Manu missed a lay up!

[loveforthegame]

Leonard with now hustle. :tu

[SpurSwag]

Fuck I wish that Timmy putback would have counted

[cutewizard]

the fucker james cannot guard manu

[GSH]

You notice Ray Allen isn't leaving Danny Green. Danny should be doing the same.

[Budkin]

Thank you Spurs!

[Baam]

Wade is unreal

Yeah he's definitely the true leader of that Heat team

[cutewizard]

james is just an awful defender

[Knoxxx]

MANNNNNNNUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUU!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!! !!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!

[AASATX]

TP!!

[SpurSwag]

Tony Parker has had an incredible game considering his injury

[ballhog]

Parker. Nice

[BatManu20]

Don't let up.

[Rogue]

the perfect guy to use on Bron in defense is Marion imho. diaw did a legit job defending him but that has more to do with the team's help defense than his own efforts and defensive ability.

[cutewizard]

james is an awful passer


lol

[RuffnReadyOzStyle]

Strange calls both ways.

We're gonna get two chances to win it in Miami, baby. :D

[Juggity]

Carry us, big 3

[Crookshanks]

Spurs just need to handle the ball well and milk the clock on every possession. Time is running out for Miami...

[cutewizard]

james does not know basketball


he just an athletic motherfucker

[RuffnReadyOzStyle]

Crazy series. 4 blowouts. Very weird stuff.

[polandprzem]

calm down tony dammnit

[cutewizard]

james does not know basketball


he just an athletic motherfucker




my mistake

someone else is fucking the mother of james



ahahahahahahhahahaha


wooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooo oooooooooooooooooooo

[BatManu20]

Damn those missed FT's are becoming a nuisance!

[100%duncan]

MVParkeeeeeeeeeeeer

[Spurs Brazil]

Tony dominating

[soxxx]

play parker till 2 minutes left. Ya just can risk it. A victory here is more valuable

[loveforthegame]

Bad foul.

[timtonymanu]

Fuck. End this game already.

[easjer]

Crazy series. 4 blowouts. Very weird stuff.
2005, my friend. Remember? Albeit in a different order. All told, I'll take tonight's game over that, I think. My nerves are equally killer though.

I just want time to run down already.

[BatManu20]

Dumb, dumb fouls...

[bluebellmaniac]

Get TP out of there and rest his hammy.... Great job guys!

[Budkin]

Stop fouling Manu!!!!

[lrrr]

1 Turnover since midway though th 3rd.

[100%duncan]

wtf

[BatManu20]

Danny's lost his 3
