First off, amazing victory. This really puts the Spurs in the driver's though winning in Miami again will be a monumental task.

I think Spurs have a better shot at stealing Game 6 than trying to pull it off in 7 (where LeBron actually does show up historically).

What say you?

The only thing I know about this series is nothing at all. Idk if Spurs should go small or big. Idk which matchups I prefer. I just don't know. Spurs have to play game 6 like a game 7. I highly doubt they win game 7 in Miami.

The Spurs are one win away from another title. They can smell it. They want it. The trend of this series says Miami should win Game 6. Hopefully the Spurs can put together an epic 48 minutes on Tuesday and walk away with their 5th title.

The Spurs are 14-2 in closeout games in this situation, I have a feeling that Tim, Tony, Manu, Kawhi and Danny are going to be at there peak come Tuesday night to finish off the heat. It feels like we're headed into the 12th round and we have them wobbling and buckling. They're gonna throw some haymakers but if we can have the defensive effort we had tonight and the team ball we had then we can weather the storm and stomp them in the 4th when it matters.

Gotta weather the storm early in the 1st...Miami is going to have a run at one point in the game. Keep it close for 3 and a half quarters then Spurs will execute down the stretch and win this thing.

The amazing thing to me was when I looked at the minutes, and Timmy had 38 (a few more than I'd like), Tony had 36 (normally not to many), and Manu had 33. Pretty amazing, since Tiago only had about 10, and it felt like we didn't have any bench out there tonight. Diaw and Neal didn't have much in the way of points, but they did consume enough minutes that nobody had to get killed out there.

I'm less concerned about minutes than the fact that it is the strangest box score I've ever seen. Even if they aren't tired, I wonder how we will ever get all of those guys to score that many points each in the same game.

theres too much quit in Lebron and Dwhistle for this to otherwise be concerning tbh

06-17-2013, 02:06 AM
For several reasons I couldn't watch the games live but it always is like this:

If I'm at home (with my girlfriend sleeping next to me) I'm going to the Computer while she is in the bathroom. I put on Spurstalk to read the headlines of the threads. It's just to much for me to put on ESPN and see either red or white jerseys celebrating. I figured out, that Spurstalk is the best way to find out who won without getting a heart attack. This was the case with game 1+3+today.
If I'm sleeping her place, I have about an hour before I get home...I go to a local store first, take my time playing out several scenarios in my head (Heat win huge, Heat win close, Spurs player injured) and it's really weird because I'm avoiding the thought of a Spurs win as that may kill that mentioned scenario. I may look like a Zombi wandering around as I kow things happened but I still want to influence them in my head. Then back home I'm going by the usual routine with Spurstalk...That happened in game 2+4.

Now the bad news: I'm at her place for game 6 :(...but I'll avoid the store, maybe even telling someone to send me a short message in the middle of the night. I need to break the circle.

The Heat didn't play poor at all in this game, tbh.

They did a lot of hapless turnovers and passes thrown out of bounds, but they showed patience and had almost come back many times in the game. Luckily, we matched them and performed better.

If we beat them at their best once, we can certainly do it again. Pop won't let our players rest easy.

I worry about game 6 because I always worry. I agree that if it goes to 7, we are toast.

Last night I watched without getting on the board because I kept thinking "this is like when you are young and you are almost afraid to want something sooooo much because you feel like you will just be lost if it doesn't work out", and chatting via this forum would be too distracting.

My biggest worry about game 6 is the same one I have had since the beginning of this series...LBJ dropping his shoulder and driving into the paint and charging, but all the calls go against the spurs for blocking calls...our bigs get fouled out and then the Heat have a layup drill.

OldSilentHill

I still feel like this is a Spurs in 7 thing.

The pressure of the Miami media and crowd over the refs will be terrible.

Who are the refs ???? :wow

06-17-2013, 10:11 AM
I would have to think the refs are going to be one of the Crawfords, which of course either team wants Joey, as a spur fan I would prefer Danny. His style of officiating is more in line with the spurs style of play.

People have overreacted to the last 5 games. Miami (like the Spurs) is a great bounce back team.

The Spurs will have to play a very, very good game for the full 48 to have a chance at winning. Even a 6-0 run for the Heat can snowball into a blowout.

Turnovers are the absolute key. I'm hoping for a G1 type effort from the Spurs and i have confidence that they can maintain the focus needed to steal one.

Just hoping that Spo has run out of adjustments and this game comes down to the better TEAM which I believe the Spurs are. Regardless, this will be the toughest game in the Spurs' Finals history (yes, tougher than G7).

ironman2886

If spurs limit the turnovers, it's a championship on Tuesday. Turnovers give the Heat easy points, and takes away precious attempts, and it gets the crowd in it.

Game 7 will be far more difficult for the Spurs to win than Game 6.

Sounds like a dare-to-be-great situation if there ever was one. I hate seeing the Spurs lose, so of course am rooting for them in game 6, but nothing, I mean NOTHING, could possibly top the jubilation of beating King James, DWade and company in a winner-take-all game 7. It would be the stuff of legend.

The road team hasn't won a Game 7 since 1978. Let that sink in. Wait for it.....

So, um, Game 6 is like really important then. Remember Timmy in that OT game against Golden State a few weeks ago? That's the Tim I want to see in Miami. It's one game. I want it to be an Old Man And The Sea performance.

Tim, before Game 6:
"If I were him I would put in everything now and go until something broke. But, thank God, they are not as intelligent as we who kill them; although they are more noble and more able."

And LeBron, before Game 6:
“Perhaps I should not have been a fisherman, he thought. But that was the thing that I was born for.” :lol

---------------

Aw, hell... look at all the Old Man And The Sea Quotes that fit. How can you pick just one?:

"Every day is a new day. It is better to be lucky. But I would rather be exact. Then when luck comes you are ready.”

"To hell with luck," the boy said. "I'll bring the luck with me." (Danny Green)

"But I must have the confidence and I must be worthy of the great DiMaggio who does all things perfectly even with the pain of the bone spur in his heel."

“I may not be as strong as I think, but I know many tricks and I have resolution.”

“I hate a cramp, he thought. It is a treachery of one's own body.”

"A man can be destroyed but not defeated."

"There are many good fishermen (players) and some great ones. But there is only one you."

This series is hard to call. It's so up and down. I guess all we can to is listen to Coach Pop who will say things like "There is no game 5. That's ancient history. There is no game 7. That's in the future somewhere, or not. There's only game 6. Players will play, they'll play well or not. Coaches will coach, they'll help or not.

Small sample size- I think going back further than the 90s is probably not useful



Looking back at game 7s they've been close

At the same time that Game 7 is very difficult to win on the road...........didn't the Celtics hold a 13-point lead, at one point, in Game 7 over the Lakers, in 2010? And didn't the Pistons hold an 8-point lead at one point over the Spurs in Game 7 in 2005?


Yes, the Celtics and Pistons both lost those games, but victory was well within reach for them.

I feel:

When the Spurs struggle against the Heat, they struggle for the same reasons: turnovers, poor ball movement, inability to score against their PnR defense, letting LeBron too close to the bucket.

When the Heat struggle against the Spurs, it seems to be for different reasons each game: TP getting to the bucket, inability to guard perimeter shooters, Manu going off, losing concentration on defense, no contribution from role players, LeBron passing too much, Wade not scoring, Bosh not scoring.

I think the Spurs have been the more consistent team this series. The Heat have been all over the place. I like the Spurs to finish this in 6. I think the Heat would win if it went to 7, but I don't think they get there. I don't think they can handle an elimination game...few teams can. And, I wouldn't count game 7s as elimination games because they're more of a winner-take-all.

Since 1978 there have only been 5 Game 7s. 1984, 1988, 1994, 2005, 2010. Yes, home team has won them all but also all of them were very very close.

Now that they can see it within their grasp I don't think they'll let it get away.I can see Spurs really concentrating like in game 1. In SA they didn't have to worry about the crowd so were more freewheeling. Keeping the crowd from getting into it will be a powerful incentive for them to take care of the ball imo.

I agree with what someone else said: This series will either end with Spurs in 6 or Heat in 7.

I'm feeling better about this game than any other. Spurs seem to be finding their groove.

nervous

No champion has won both games 6 and 7

but no champion has ever lost game 7 at home

so historically, statistically, Spurs will be Champions tonight, or not.

Technically, If you lose game 7, you are not the champion

2010 Lakers won both games 6 & 7 and became champions

The Heat went big and we figured them out. The Heat went small and we figured them out. There is no place else for the Heat to go. We got this.

I feel cautiously hopeful. I don't expect a win, but I feel they can do it. Unlike the blowouts the Spurs handed MIA, MIA blowouts weren't start to finish leads for the most part. They were short unbelievable stretches later in games. Spurs were hanging tight & the wheels fell off.

Hopeful they do not fall off tonight. I kind of have that feeling I used to have before my own big college games where you are anxious but calm. That moment where the national anthem is playing, your head is down and you're bouncing subtly. That's how I feel.

I feel that the Heat will blow out the Spurs, which is unfortunate because then the Heat will have the advantage in game 7. Their backs are against the wall and their role players get the home court boost of energy. For the Spurs to win the game, the big 3 will need to match the Heat's big 3 again but I don't think that's very possible since Lebron will play hard in close out games. When the Heat were down 3-2 against the Celtics last year, Lebron put up 45/15 and 31/12 in the final 2 close out games.

At this point, I won't really relax until the Spurs have the LOB trophy in their hands. The Heat are still very dangerous and have proven they can blow out the Spurs if the Spurs slip even an inch. If the Spurs come out slow, the Heat will smell blood. History proves that game 7 goes to the home team and the momentum can easily shift back to the Heat. The Spurs need to bunker down and just stay close until the end of the 4th quarter.

I said Spurs in 6 from the beginning, and I think that's still happening. I think Miami will get up early in this game, and the Spurs will grind out the win.

This is my take as well. What else can riley/spoelstra throw at POP?

Spur fans need one more punch to the gut with a loss in game 6. They are getting too cocky. It will make the game 7 win sweeter.

Probably would but it would take another couple years off my life. Please let's win tonight.

Apply pressure on the ball handler, wear parker down, create turnovers by creating pressure on the ball handler, don't give the Spurs who like to stand around on the 3 point line open looks. Parker is the only Spur capable of beating pressure consistently. Manu is prone to turnovers and forget about everyone else when pressured.

A few possibilities:

1. We come out thinking we have 2 games to get this done (huge mistake)
2. We come out playing like our backs are against the wall
3. We do a number 2 (no pun intended.. well maybe) but play nervous and hesitant
4. We run it down their throats from the opening tip and never let up because they abandon game plans and go hero mode.

Energy alone will give the Heat the early lead but hopefully we keep it manageable. We need big plays, hustle for every lose ball and some good refereeing if we are going to have a chance in the 4th.

I agree here, same gut feeling based on how the series has gone. Hoping for a reversal though.

All I know is that I'm nervous as fuck and I'm about to get off work at 5:30 here in Northern Cali. I want to manage to drive fast to catch the start of the game without crashing out there seeing how nervous I am right now. I can barely type 'cuz my fingers are shaking, lol.

I think manu tries to hard to pass the ball instead of dribbling out himself out of situations.
