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

[loveforthegame]

F Allen.

[Juggity]

Fuck ray allen, fucking shithead

[Crookshanks]

James probably got away with a travel... ya think? So instead of a turnover, Miami gets a 3-point play.

[ballhog]

How many and-1's has Miami had tonight???

[Rogue]

Spurs chances of winning will be slim in Miami imho. They're standing at the brink of failure and they will go all out fighting the spurs on their home court, and refs will be a bit biased for them because the games will be played in Miami.

[RuffnReadyOzStyle]

Manu, please. Remeber Nowitzski. DOn't reach in on LBJ.

[Budkin]

Spurs coasting

[timtonymanu]

Omg still too much time.

[HI-FI]

cmon. gotta crank up the D.

[Budkin]

Jesus fucking christ

[loveforthegame]

Calm down Spurs. Finish this.

[Knoxxx]

Refs want a game 7 yes!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!

[Budkin]

Thank you

[Spurs Brazil]

good timeout

[Knoxxx]

First foul on James what a joke!

[soxxx]

One more fg and this games over

[Juggity]

good lord, slow the hell down.

[ffadicted]

LOL Lebrawn

[bluebellmaniac]

Refs calling a TIGHT game!!!

[BatManu20]

Now THAT is a moving you screen. Not that bullshit you called on Diaw earlier.

[blkroadrunners]

Damn, Allen is livid. C'mon Green.

[dg7md]

THANK YOU LEBRON FOR THAT

[01Snake]

Stay the hell on Allen!!!

[Budkin]

Come on Spurs close strong!! Fuck

[RuffnReadyOzStyle]

:lol that LBJ thinks he can block like a tackle for no call.

[dg7md]

We just need one more basket and no turnovers and we're a lock for this.

Don't let up the D...

[Rogue]

I'm guessing this game will turn out to be Spurs' last win in this series tbh.

[ballhog]

Lebron's first foul. That's how fucking bullshit this shit is

[AASATX]

Keep it up Spurs

[crc21209]

Fuck Kawhi and Danny need to recognize to stay on Allen. Green was helping Kawhi too damn much on Wade's drive and Allen was standing in the corner waiting forever.

[MannyIsGod]

You got that shit on reverse

LOL what? No I don't. A 20 point lead against Miami is like a 10 point lead against anyone else because they can make it up so fast.

[twincam]

They need to use the clock as much possible and run the high PNR.

[Budkin]

Refs calling a TIGHT game!!!

We would have won by 30

[SpurSwag]

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.

completely agreed with all of this, marion was the other guy I was thinking of when I said that. Also, I didn't feel like typing it out, but I agree that Diaw's defense looks so great because of the team defense, but I also think it has a lot to do with his size. His size and strength works perfectly with what the spurs are trying to do with him

[Johnny RIngo]

Fuck Ray Allen. ring chasing piece of shit. Wish Bowen were still around to step under his feet

[easjer]

Spurs need to cool it down and simply end this game. Don't get cute, don't get overeager, just fucking play your game and end this. They've withstood other runs, they can close this out. Close it out like you did the 3rd quarter, guys. Send them home with a clear message. But for the love of god, no more stupid fouls. Just run down clock and score.

[twincam]

stick Allen and we're good..

[Captivus]

The Spurs bench has only scored 7 points so far. That has to be close to an all time record.

[timtonymanu]

Fuck another TO

[ballhog]

Lots of standing around by Spurs

[Texas_Ranger]

fucking chokers¨!!!!

[loveforthegame]

Turnovers. :bang

[twincam]

wow...another turnover......I guess it's really set up for a close victory...bring on the ratings

[100%duncan]

LOL what? No I don't. A 20 point lead against Miami is like a 10 point lead against anyone else because they can make it up so fast.

Using "against" means you mean from the Spurs perspective. Not from Miami's. Duh.

[Jenks]

imo take manu out, we don't need heroics right now

[m33p0]

bring us home, spurs.

[RuffnReadyOzStyle]

Bench has 7 points. Need more than that in Miami.

[BatManu20]

Why does this team fall asleep when we have big leads? I hate that shit.

[Spurs Brazil]

fuckkkkkkkkkkkkkkkkkkkkkkkkkkkkkkkkkkkkkkkk

[The_Coyote]

I'm guessing this game will turn out to be Spurs' last win in this series tbh.

Kindly shut the fuck up.

[timtonymanu]

Keep your fucking composure.

[Juggity]

Are you goddamn kidding me

[bluebellmaniac]

Sloppy play

[loveforthegame]

:bang

[BatManu20]

Omg WAKE THE FUCK UP SPURS

[Crookshanks]

Lebron's first foul. That's how fucking bullshit this shit is

:depressed

[spurspokesman]

terrible

[RD2191]

:lmao

[therealtruth]

This defense will not get it done in Miami.

[BatManu20]

This is a joke

[twincam]

Here we go again....blowing a 20 pt lead...momentum for Miami once again. Gotta love the defensive breakdown

[Budkin]

This is bullshit!!!!

[ballhog]

Need some postup by Tim

[spurspokesman]

Why does this team fall asleep when we have big leads? I hate that shit.
This

[angelbelow]

Now is the best time to believe in our Spurs. Lets finish this strong.

[easjer]

FFS, Spurs. PULL YOUR HEADS OUT OF YOUR ASSES

[ballhog]

Fuck yeah. Miss those FT's

[Knoxxx]

This games been over for like 9 and a half minutes TBH

[loveforthegame]

Parker!

[HI-FI]

Daggerrrrrrrrrr

[loveforthegame]

Green with the !

[timtonymanu]

There we fucking go.

[AASATX]

Damn Green can't miss!

[bluebellmaniac]

Green!!!! It's OVER!!!

[Spurs Brazil]

Green 33333333333333333333333333333333333333333333333333 3333333333333333

[Juggity]

DG with the "fuck ray allen" goods

[BatManu20]

Dagger

[Knoxxx]

Danny "Balls of Steel Green" OMG what would Pop have done if he missed that shot!?!

[m33p0]

oh, spurs. you're such a tease. :lol

[testies]

yaaaaaaaaaaaaaa

[ballhog]

That's it boys. Closeout game on Tues!!!!!

[Floyd Pacquiao]

their yooooou gooo

[soxxx]

Holy shot Ginobli and Green are gamblers, I woulda eaten clock, but hey, whatever it takes!

[mclinejr]

GREEN!

[TampaDude]

Green DAGGER 3!!!

GAME OVER!!!

GO SPURS GO!!!!!

[ballhog]

Love it. Tease them a little, then cut off their balls!!!

[DarkGinobili]

Green 3!

[dg7md]

Is this really happening???

:wow

We stood off against a Heat patented comeback and Green sealed the deal.

[soxxx]

If green missed that pop woulda killed em.

[RuffnReadyOzStyle]

Parker has undressed LBJ time and again in this series, and Danny with the finisher. Game.

2 chances to win in Miami. :D :flag:

[RuffnReadyOzStyle]

It felt a little bit like our 16pt comeback against the Dubs there for a while... :(

[100%duncan]

GREEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEN

[Kidd K]

Parker and Green doing crotch chops in the direction of the refs after those last 2 shots.

Once again every Heat run is on the back of a bunch of whistles. The league is becoming an embarrassment.

[Crookshanks]

You know Timmy is so happy that Danny broke Ray Allen's record. I'm so glad Ray-Ray was there to see it happen! :lol

[Knoxxx]

The overplay their Big 3 you saw how dang tired Wade looked on that late FT.

[shingo_318]

Green just can't miss!

[100%duncan]

FUCK YES

[Jenks]

Bonner getting the minutes he deserves

[RuffnReadyOzStyle]

Huge performance by the starters tonight. Now, can we close it out in game 6?

[loveforthegame]

Good win! Lets get this in Miami now. :tu

[Knoxxx]

114 points on the Heat that's nuts take that bitches!!!!!!!!!!!!!

[timtonymanu]

One more, Spurs. One more.

[Knoxxx]

WA WA WA Lebronda!

[BatManu20]

ONE MORE WIN.

[ballhog]

3 down. One to go.

[Crookshanks]

Spurs win game 1, Game 3, and Game 5 - all pivotal games in regard to statistics. Go Spurs!!!!!!!!!!!!!

[Rogue]

I base every comment of mine on reasoning and deep analysis, rather than my personal preference. In fact, I can't care less about this series because to a mavs fan, either team winning it would feel like a flying kick in the balls. IF the spurs manage to win the series somehow, it would be remembered as the biggest surprise in the history of NBA finals with the 11' mavs being a close 2nd. But realistically, I dont see Stern allowing it to happen again. Stern wants to make the Heat a basketball version of Barcelona and he wants the team to dominate, and he wouldn't even allow the lakers to jeopardize his plan (so he killed the CP3 deal, which would've made LA a contender), not to say the Spurs who've never been a top team on his interest list

[Juggity]

I'm so damn proud of this spurs team. Win or lose, this has been an amazing ride.

[AASATX]

Good job Spurs! 2 Chances to take it all.

[TampaDude]

One more, folks...just one more! Let's take Game 6!!!

GO SPURS GO!!!!!

[Spurs Brazil]

One more, ONE MORE!

[Knoxxx]

WE GO THIS HELL YEAH!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!

(drive for five is WAY WAY alive!)

[Libri]

so close, I could smell it

[easjer]

That SHOULD do it. It's worked out exactly the way (to the games) I laid out before the series. But fuck me if it doesn't feel amazing desperate. Hope they can close this shit out.

[twincam]

Danny 60% from three point range tonight....amazing. needs to keep it up. manu needs to stay focused.....we are in good position....
Up 3-2. Poise is all we need.

[RuffnReadyOzStyle]

Whatever happens from here, it's been an incredible ride. Thank you Spurs! :)

What a win, and I'm so happy for Manu that he found his game again.

[Rogue]

great opponents make great teams i think. So even if I were a Heat fan i'd still applaud to them spurs. Beating shitty teams ain't no fun imho. Spurs are a respectable team and a respectable rival

[twincam]

[GSH]

When OUR Big 3 all play well, the Spurs are hard to beat. We keep hearing that about the Heat, but our Big 3 are pretty fucking good, too.

[ballhog]

How many Heat opponents scored over 100 against them this year? Probably not many.

[therealtruth]

Crazy series. 4 blowouts. Very weird stuff.

I am not sure you would call tonight's game a blowout. We couldn't shake them till the last minute. Tonight's win really is fool's gold. Outscoring the Heat in Miami won't work. We've got to be better defensively.

[The_Coyote]

Ono more win. Go Spurs Go

[BatManu20]

This thing is going 7. One more win.

[timtonymanu]

100%duncan, Heat in 7.

[RashoFan]

Way to go Spurs!!! One more win to go!!!
I got to go to the game tonight, it was awesome to get a win tonight!!!
Happy Father's Day!!!

[littleavery1948]

Using "against" means you mean from the Spurs perspective. Not from Miami's. Duh.

From the Spurs' perspective, having a 20 point lead against Miami feels like a 10 point lead against all other opponents. This means that a 20 point lead against Miami is no safer than a 10 point lead against any other team. Therefore, that statement was not written from Miami's perspective. From Miami's perspective, one could say "A 20 point deficit for Miami is like a 10 point deficit for anyone else". This statement is attributed to Miami's ability to score in bunches. He also made it clear in his reply, ergo, your statement was false. If you still do not understand, then I cannot help you. Besides, what does it matter? You know what he meant, even if he typed it "incorrectly".

[marini martini]

Great win! Happy Fathers Day!

[milkyway21]

CONGRATULATIONS SAN ANTONIO ! WELCOME BACK MANU "THE DAREDEVIL" GINOBILI !

TEAM WORK WINS !

[Kidd K]

I was reading some other forums while this site was chugging along. . .

and Heat fans actually think THEY got jobbed by the refs tonight. :lmao

They keep citing how they didn't shoot more free throws because apparently that's all officiating boils down to. Total FTAs

[milkyway21]

pls. no game 7.

close it in 6

[moisaenz]

Pop out coaching spoelstra/riley...Pop already figured out their small ball... what else could they throw at the spurs?

For whatever it's worth, the 2 losses are:

2008 West First Round at Phoenix, Game 4 (Spurs were going for sweep)
2010 West First Round at Dallas, Game 5 (Spurs took Game 2 in Dallas and Games 3-4 at home)

we will see how he parties we hope

[bigfan]

The Spurs have always gotten wrapped around the axle when the home court expectation is too high, been that way for decades. With just one win needed and the insurance of a do-over for game 7, I bet the Spurs kick the holy hell out of Miami in game 6 and close it out.

[Russo21]

I just wanna say I'm soooooooo damn proud of this team :toast Manu showed up when we needed him!

[smaka]

And don't forget - the odds are on our side now: we won game 3 (the winner won it all in 92%) and now game 5 (the winner won it all in 20/27 series if I am correct).

Believe

I'm getting tired of hearing this crap. Steven A Smith went off on a rant about this topic after the game 3 win on First Take. It's a tradition to go downtown or to Southwest Military after a victory. Not like we just started doing this crap during this Heat series.

someone needs to tell them that it's potentially the last finals home game for the big 3.

[aal04]

Bench scored 7 pts

And we still won.

Neal had good +/- though!

Barkley's GINOBILI!!! heard in the background, lol, and Manu's kids running around


https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=-7vPbWnpe58

[LakerHater]

:bang

Still had 19 Turnovers!!
Cant do that in South Beach if they wanna win!!

[ducks]

Robert Mays: We’re likely to hear that last night’s Manu Ginobili performance was a return to form, but that’s not really true. What Manu did last night — at least 24 points and double-digit assists — is something he’d done only once in 155 playoff games. In fact, Ginobili’s had at least 10 assists only six times in his playoff career; half of those games have come this postseason. The scoring Ginobili isn’t new, but the level at which this Spurs machine runs, the array of guys capable of hammering home the Ginobili passes that few others would even try? That part is.
