2013 NBA Finals, Game 6: Spurs @ Heat - June 18 @ 8 PM CT

[Sleepy_Floyd]

Bad Manu, we do that outside! *rubs his nose in that horrible play*

[Brunodf]

Diaw rebounds even worse than Splitter, and scores even worse.

Very risky.
But is bigger/stronger/quicker/smarter/better defender than Neal

[Darius McCrary]

Fuck you you spoiled pussy fan. We are down because the 2nd unit shat the bed.

Every turnover costs points against this team.

[Budkin]

We need others to step up bc Timmy can't do it alone

[SpursOwn]

Lololol ginobli. Gtfo of here, start prepping for game 7, in case we need you.

[crc21209]

WTF is wrong with Manu? He made it so obvious that he was gonna try that pass. :td

[joeSpurs]

Folks chill on Manu ... chill.

[Darius McCrary]

Hopefully Manu is getting disgustingly sickeningly horrifying loser ball out of his system this first half. Because this is pathetic.

[lofds]

Love the way Timmy is playing so inspired. I hope he can keep it up in the second half.

[Splits]

No clue why Kawhi isn't on pace for 46 minutes. The dude is so solid, dependable, smart, and he's so fucking young but for some reason he's sat almost 5 minutes this half. Makes no sense.

[davemaniscool]

Miami playing illegal d against Tony to keep him out of the paint

[BatManu20]

Well it's evident Manu isn't going to help us win tonight. We need somebody else to step up in a HUGE way.

[ballhog]

Manu falling down a lot as well. Bad defense

[loveforthegame]

Just imagine if Leonard and Duncan had some help. Just one or two guys need to step up.

[smaka]

Parker and Manu are in AT&T watching the game with fans tbh.

[moisaenz]

Turnobili!!!

[dg7md]

Second-half agenda: Keep Splitter off the court, limit Manu to just safe passes, Parker penetrates, Duncan post-up.

We will win if we do this tbh

[hommeaetage]

Parker and Manu need to wake up

[RuffnReadyOzStyle]

We've stuck with them through a tough first half, but if we don't get more from our guards in the second half we won't last long.

[moisaenz]

Well it's evident Manu isn't going to help us win tonight. We need somebody else to step up in a HUGE way.

DE COLO??

[Sleepy_Floyd]

We knew this wasn't gonna be easy, and it shouldn't be dammit. Keep fighting :ihit

[Slydragon]

fuck Manu

[RD2191]

GTFO MANU

[Spurs Brazil]

Manu, please, go take a sit on the bench

[BatManu20]

Manu SUCKS again.

[TheProfessor]

Seriously. Manu. Come on.

[loveforthegame]

FU Manu. :bang

[spurspokesman]

stupid mau

[Baam]

Turnobili, it's getting sad

[TE]

Wow manu. Wow

[Crookshanks]

Another turnover by Manu. Come on guy!

[Two10Whitey]

Manu.. Retire please.

[WeNeedLength]

GOD DAMN IT GINOBILI

[dg7md]

FUCK! MANU!

:bang

[RuffnReadyOzStyle]

I thought Duncan would have a huge game tonight (he thrives in potential closeouts), but 21 points in the first half exceeds even my expectations! :toast

[RuffnReadyOzStyle]

DE COLO??

:lmao

[moisaenz]

Duncan has been overworked

[Baam]

Boris with an epic performance tbh

[100%duncan]

Omygod Manu.

[joeSpurs]

This is still Duncan's team. Let's ride him to the end.

[spurspokesman]

Duncan looking off turnobili lol

[WeNeedLength]

Did we forget how to fucking make a proper pass??!??

[100%duncan]

Every turnover costs points against this team.

Yes and Manu has 4 idiot.

[AASATX]

Manu out finally

[Juggity]

Diaw, Kawhi and Tim are the only dudes out there trying. Danny, too, but he's getting guarded damn close

[Crookshanks]

Finally - Parker is back in.

[Spurs Brazil]

Duncan!!!!!!!!

[ballhog]

Crazy passes ain't gonna cut it

[lefty]

timmmmmmmmmmmmmmmmyyyyyyyyyyyyyyyyyyy

[AASATX]

Timmy still on fire

[HI-FI]

I heart Timmy. this is just vintage stuff.

[007nites]

So is Timmy going for 50 for us to win this?

[spurspokesman]

Timmy deserves this

[loveforthegame]

Timmy. :tu

[Crookshanks]

Timmy wants that 5th ring so bad - he's almost singlehandedly winning the game so far.

[Spurs Brazil]

Timmy!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!

[AASATX]

YES! Diaw to Duncan!

[007nites]

or 60?

[Ellsworth]

Closeout game? Where Manu & TP?? TD doing everything he can out there :bang... better show some life in the 2nd half mofos!!

[davemaniscool]

sad watching Manu play like this. needs to stop the crazy passes. keep it simple

[loveforthegame]

Great pass Diaw.

[ballhog]

Timmy!!!!

[GSH]

Miami isn't making everything the look at anymore. They're fucked.

[spurspokesman]

Beautiful

[dg7md]

They're missing their shots.

TAKE ADVANTAGE

[007nites]

LETS GO!

[AASATX]

Holy shit Diaw!

[100%duncan]

Timmaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaay

[007nites]

Holy shit DIAW!!

[loveforthegame]

Diaw!

[ballhog]

Diaw!!!

[Baam]

Boris .........................!!!!!!!!!!

[TheProfessor]

:lol Diaw

[Sleepy_Floyd]

Holy shit was that a finger roll from diaw??

[moisaenz]

Diaw going point guard mode..

[TheProfessor]

You can feel the Miami crowd's desperation...

[100%duncan]

DIAAAAAAAAAAAAW

[Crookshanks]

So is Timmy going for 50 for us to win this?

Geez - I hope so! It would be so great to win a championship that way

[ballhog]

Leonard!!!!

[loveforthegame]

Leonard tip!!

[Juggity]

LEONARD!!

[timtonymanu]

Great ending.

[Trill Clinton]

kawhi:wow

[lefty]

wooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooo oooooooooow

[spurspokesman]

Kawhiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiii and Diawwwwwwwwwwwwww

[BatManu20]

GREAT finish. Let's go.

[01Snake]

TIM DUNCAN!!! GOOD LORD!!!

[smaka]

Timmy and Kawhi I love you!!! 24 more minutes of this please!

[HI-FI]

Kawhi...........those last few minutes. dangggggggggg.

[Brunodf]

Big lineup made a run, shocking:rolleyes

[polandprzem]

so fa so gut

[ballhog]

Fucking ay!!! Let's blow the fucking doors off.

[davemaniscool]

Diaw d'n up Bron

[phxspurfan]

Spursgasm to end the half

[100%duncan]

KaWOWWWWWWWWWWWWWWWWWW

[timtonymanu]

Discouraging that it comes at the time Manu sits. He desperately needs to contribute for the Spurs because Tony can't do it by himself.

[Arcadian]

The legend continues. Duncan = top 5 all time

[Brunodf]

Big lineup made a run, shocking:rolleyes:rolleyes

[anonoftheinternets]

if not for the 4 quikc turnovers by manu this would be a 12 point game... but i'll take it... hopefully manu gathers himself in the second ... hes too good not to...

[moisaenz]

spurs playing horrible seems miami is playing worse...

[polandprzem]

We need Gino to be more sharp and Diaw as well

[HarlemHeat37]

:lol Parker hasn't really been "looking" for Tim, tbh..

[BatManu20]

One more half.

[Tim_duncan21]

Nice Kawhi

[AASATX]

Holy crap where did kawhi come from! 17-4 Run to finish. Hell yea!

[Southwest Texas Fan]

17-4 run in favor of the good guys. Yes!

[Sleepy_Floyd]

Just like that, manu sits, tony in and we go on a run. gotta go with whats working and we win this

[easjer]

Now THAT is how you end the quarter, fellas! FUCK yes.

[lefty]

http://i3.kym-cdn.com/photos/images/original/000/197/247/Fap.gif

[Spurs Brazil]

Timmy, Boris, Kawhi :toast:flag:

[RuffnReadyOzStyle]

Superb end to the half. :tu

If only our reserves can keep things under control, our Tim-Tony-Kawhi-Danny-Boris lineup is better than anything the heat can put on the floor.

[CGD]

Diaw being able to guard James is HUGE. It allows the spurs to play Wade with Leonard

[100%duncan]

TD and Diaw totally stole that half.

[N0 LyF3 ScRuB]

If Duncan goes for 50, does that give hmu MVP?

[timtonymanu]

Miami had a damn good half, yet the Spurs are up 6. The Spurs just need Tony and Manu to go off. And we have ourselves a title.

[brucebowensghost]

i think they forget about green n he goes or 15 in the 2nd half

[RobSM64]

Timmy is a M'Fin beast

[HarlemHeat37]

Spurs have completely dominated this game when Duncan and Leonard are on the floor..Kawhi doesn't need a break in the 2nd half, and Tim's shouldn't be too long, cut their throat, tbh..

[Thebesteva]

http://i3.kym-cdn.com/photos/images/original/000/197/247/Fap.gif

:lol please God let Lebron lose

[Crookshanks]

17-4 run in favor of the good guys. Yes!

Love, love, love it! :flag:

[RuffnReadyOzStyle]

One concern, LBJ hasn't showed up at all yet. Except him to do so in the second half.

[007nites]

If Duncan goes for 50, does that give hmu MVP?

TBH yes

[thiste]

ONE. HALF.

[Jelloisjigglin]

http://i3.kym-cdn.com/photos/images/original/000/197/247/Fap.gif

:lmao :lmao

[davemaniscool]

just amazing how he's playing at 37

[lofds]

We love you Timmy! What a legend.......please please please have a big second half!

[Tim_duncan21]

Spurs got this. Duncan playing like the Finals MVP.

[BatManu20]

Just stop turning the ball over and crash the boards. Please.

[easjer]

One more half. Come on, guys. They withstood good play and good defense. They just need to keep pounding it into Tim if this is the result. This 3rd quarter has never been so important. They canNOT have their historical 3rd qtr slump. They need to come out swinging and maintain that momentum the entire fucking quarter. Build on this lead. It is within grasp - do not let it go now, Spurs. You can fucking do this.

[Fireball]

Spurs are in perfect position, James and Bosh are struggling with their shot and Timmy looks better than ever - yes, this is not 2003 Timmy, this is best of all time Duncan!

[RD2191]

Fuck Manu, we don't need him to win this game.

[siraulo23]

just stay close spurs

manu needs to make accurate passes
play 2nd quarter defense
somebody has to step up it doesnt matter who, because duncan isnt gonna score 25 in the 2nd half

[GSH]

One concern, LBJ hasn't showed up at all yet. Except him to do so in the second half.

Yeah, but he hasn't show up because he's 3-9. Give some credit to the Spurs D for that.

[100%duncan]

Spurs have completely dominated this game when Duncan and Leonard are on the floor..Kawhi doesn't need a break in the 2nd half, and Tim's shouldn't be too long, cut their throat, tbh..
Cosigned. We are getting killed without TD and Kawhi. And A 21 year old doesnt need any rest and TD can rest for the rest of his life tbh.

[dg7md]

Look at how demoralized the Heat looked walking to the back... Make them desperate. Pin them while they're down.

Prove we are the true class of the NBA.

[Brazil]

Call me crazy but TP has a fine half tbh, his job tonight is feeding Duncan and gfto his way and that's the right thing to do. 6 assists 0 t/o. He will step up when the team will need him to do

[easjer]

TD and Diaw totally stole that half.

Do not forget about Kawhi.

[Russ]

As Terry Stembridge used to say --

"Do we dare hope"?

[timmy2003]

We need a big second half from tony and manu.

[timtonymanu]

One concern, LBJ hasn't showed up at all yet. Except him to do so in the second half.

FWIW, he's been pretty mediocre in these Finals. As long as Diaw/Leonard/Green do their job on him, he won't go off.

Hopefully :(

[HI-FI]

tbh, I'd love Timmy to win Finals MVP over anyone else. Next would be Kawhi. Those two are just so huge in these playoffs, especially these Finals.

[BatManu20]

Manu, if you have just ONE good half left in you in your life, please let it be this next one.

[Chinook]

This is the cost of stopping Parker and Green. Duncan's been having one-on-ones, and he's been stepping up. To stop him, they'll need to help off the shooters. Be ready Danny and Kawhi.

[Captivus]

If Duncan goes for 50, does that give hmu MVP?

If he goes 50, I will go full retard.

[GSH]

1/2

[Darkwaters]

Not that I'm hoping for this, but how fitting would it be for Timmy to just dominate this game, win a 5th ring tonight, and retire at the trophy ceremony. I mean, what a way to go out.

[Ellsworth]

Why not use Tmac to handle the ball & for his passing? Manu is not helping whatsoever out there with his crazy turnovers (sigh).

[Tim_duncan21]

lol

[Brazil]

Oh and Miami is lost right there. They are closing shooters and Tim is feasting.

[testies]

i'M SO FUCKING NERVOUOS

PLEASE REFS DON'T FUCK THE GAME UP

I RATHER LOSE BY 50 POINTS THAN HAVING TO DEAL WITH A CLOSE LOSS WITH REF FUCKUPAGE

[Spurs21Fan4Ever]

I'm hoping Parker and Ginobili have a big 2nd half.

[smaka]

One concern, LBJ hasn't showed up at all yet. Except him to do so in the second half.

Because he is LeChoke James, come on, like you didn't know it :lmao

[01Snake]

Hopefully TD has a nice "chat" with Manu in the locker room. :D

[007nites]

At this point we can't let the Heat role players get hot and make 3s.

[GSH]

As Terry Stembridge used to say --

"Do we dare hope"?


I'm daring my ass off right now.

I said this afternoon that if Tim comes out strong, we're going to see that "beat" body language from the Heat role players in the first half. We're there.

[Brazil]

This is the cost of stopping Parker and Green. Duncan's been having one-on-ones, and he's been stepping up. To stop him, they'll need to help off the shooters. Be ready Danny and Kawhi.

Exactly pick your poison situation. But if I'm Miami I'd prefer being beat by JS rather than Duncan in the post.

[Sleepy_Floyd]

Is Mills in the arena? I really hope he is

[Duncanoypi]

One.

[Brazil]

I'm hoping Parker and Ginobili have a big 2nd half.
Parker will take the defense gives him if they focus on closing him down he will keep on feeding Tim.

[GaryJohnston]

Tim Duncan.

[jiggy_55]

One more half!

[100%duncan]

Do not forget about Kawhi.

no.


KaWOW.

[hommeaetage]

there will be some obvious adjustments, but Tony and Manu (damn you Manu!!! this is an elimination game:bang ) will have to show up

[dg7md]

:flag::lobt2::flag:

Put the "2011 Mavs > 2013 Spurs" theory to rest tonight.

[spursparker9]

Is Mills in the arena? I really hope he is

Should be. I saw a pic of him in street clothes and waving towel at game 5.

[boutons_deux]

Is Mills in the arena? I really hope he is

out for the season, foot surgery for infection

[Trifecta]

This is the cost of stopping Parker and Green. Duncan's been having one-on-ones, and he's been stepping up. To stop him, they'll need to help off the shooters. Be ready Danny and Kawhi.

Exactly ^^^^.....When that heat D decides to collapse on TD, it will be time for the 3pt contest from DG to extend the lead! Keep turnovers to a minimum and rebound!!!!

D

[Doug Collins]

LOL Simmons not counting Duncan's near quadruple double to close out the 2003 finals as a "defining moment/game"

What a fucking moron.

[HarlemHeat37]

Exactly pick your poison situation. But if I'm Miami I'd prefer being beat by JS rather than Duncan in the post.

Disagree, tbh..

I'd rather Duncan beat me with 2s and tire himself, which will affect the Spurs since he's the defensive anchor, tbh..

It's a better strategy than allowing wide open 3s to Danny Green all game..it would be fine if the Heat could recover and semi-contest his shots, but they simply can't stay on Green, for a variety of reasons..

[widowmaker]

I hope Ginobili can at least hold on to the ball this half and doesn't give Miami a chance to score on the fast break.

[100%duncan]

Exactly pick your poison situation. But if I'm Miami I'd prefer being beat by JS rather than Duncan in the post.

To be fair with Miami, they still haven't lost a game with Duncan beating them in the post.

[tah]

I am so nervous...:flag:

[timtonymanu]

One more half. Miami has one more dominating run in them. Let's step on their throats.

Parker & Manu, wake up please.

[Budkin]

SOMEONE ELSE needs to help Tim in the second half!!!

[Sleepy_Floyd]

:chestbump 2 quarters left, go get it

[100%duncan]

What happened to Patty?

[100%duncan]

SOMEONE ELSE needs to help Tim in the second half!!!

Uhm Boris,Kawhi and TP didn't help already?

[Darius McCrary]

Yes and Manu has 4 idiot.

Yes but he's played bad all season. He sucks, this is already known.

[smaka]

Should be. I saw a pic of him in street clothes and waving towel at game 5.


I saw him waving the towel tonight :hat He is in the arena, not suited up, but doing the same thing as always!

[timtonymanu]

What happened to Patty?

Out for the year with an infection on his foot. Still towel waving like hell on the bench.

[GSH]

To be fair with Miami, they still haven't lost a game with Duncan beating them in the post.


No, but they've lost with Danny Green (and others) beating them from the 3P line. And if they adjust for Tim, they're going to lose another one. And if they don't, this will be the first one they lose to Timmy in the post.

1/2

[Captivus]

Spurs need to remember last game and dont let them score 10 points in the first minute

[RuffnReadyOzStyle]

Yeah, but he hasn't show up because he's 3-9. Give some credit to the Spurs D for that.


FWIW, he's been pretty mediocre in these Finals. As long as Diaw/Leonard/Green do their job on him, he won't go off.

Hopefully :(

Both true, I'm just thinking that we haven't seen him show up for a while... this is a huge test for him - will he go apeshit in the second half, or will he fade into the background as he has for most of his career until about 18 months ago? I'm hoping the latter, but we've all seen him do the former quite often in the past two seasons.

[timtonymanu]

It's possible Duncan will cool off in the 2nd half. Going to need the perimeter players to step up.

[Crookshanks]

If Miami doubles Timmy, then the shooters will be wide open. Get ready for Danny Green, Gary Neal, and Kawhi to go off. Tony will need to be sharp and find the open man each possession.

[100%duncan]

Out for the year with an infection on his foot. Still towel waving like hell on the bench.

Oh I'm happy that he's still in the arena.

[Darius McCrary]

Out for the year with an infection on his foot. Still towel waving like hell on the bench.

Patrick Mills is a perfect reason why I love this team. Dude hardly plays all year and he's the best teammate possible, still waving that towel in a suit. Pure awesomeness.

[dg7md]

We will win if we don't let Splitter or Manu touch the ball.

[100%duncan]

No, but they've lost with Danny Green (and others) beating them from the 3P line. And if they adjust for Tim, they're going to lose another one. And if they don't, this will be the first one they lose to Timmy in the post.

1/2

Agreed. But totally not what I was pointing out.

[007nites]

Do we have to play Splitter in the 2nd half? If we play him we shouldn't give him the ball in the post or anytime when involved in the offense.

[biziofromdowntown]

Dear lord, make this happen

[absoloot66]

Dare I say it (maybe a bit prematurely)?

The King has no clothes!

[$pursDynasty]

Tony is the MVP, them focusing on him got Gary and Danny open for most of the series, tonight they go Lebron on Tony, stay on the shooters and Timmay goes Beast mode but it is all about TP, if they decide to double Timmay then either Tony goes a slashing or the 3 pt barrage begins

[100%duncan]

Yes but he's played bad all season. He sucks, this is already known.

yes and duncan has 5 and 8 and you still call him to play perfect?

[RuffnReadyOzStyle]

We really need 2 out of TP, Manu, Neal and Splitter to give big contributions in the second half. Tim, Boris, Kawhi and Danny are already playing very well.

[hsxvvd]

Championship Quarter in the Championship Game... *Please, Please, Please, Please, Please, Please....I'm sure I'm not the only one repeating this is my head over and over.

[$pursDynasty]

Do we have to play Splitter in the 2nd half? If we play him we shouldn't give him the ball in the post or anytime when involved in the offense.
Thinking the same about Manu but we don't have another PG that can handle the Heat's pressure when TP rests.

[Texas_Ranger]

now is the time

[HI-FI]

as a sometime Parker hater, I'm loving his game tonight. not great statistically but forcing very little, going to the hot hand. props to Parker. now let's see if everyone else can elevate to greatness in the second half.

[BatManu20]

Tony is the MVP, them focusing on him got Gary and Danny open for most of the series, tonight they go Lebron on Tony, stay on the shooters and Timmay goes Beast mode but it is all about TP, if they decide to double Timmay then either Tony goes a slashing or the 3 pt barrage begins

We have to win for that to happen. One more half.

[davemaniscool]

who is jesse williams?

[RuffnReadyOzStyle]

Championship Quarter in the Championship Game... *Please, Please, Please, Please, Please, Please....I'm sure I'm not the only one repeating this is my head over and over.

Yup, here it comes! *gulp*

[XTah]

Who else hate abc pushing jesse williams on us.

[007nites]

This is the most I've seen Timmy use the glass this entire year

[XTah]

who is jesse williams?

I had to look it online during the first game. He acts in Grey's Anatomy

[spurspokesman]

manu please wake up, you already tore up one finals game 6.

[GSH]

Spurs have 8 TO's in the first half. That's too damn many.
Heat have 5 more FGA's than the Spurs. That's a little too much, but not a disaster.
Heat have 8 offensive boards to the Spurs 4. Second chance points have kept it closer than it had to be.

[Captivus]

Will Wade fake an injury if the game is lost in the last 2 minutes?

[100%duncan]

:lol JVG just shat on anyone calling out Tim for 2 TO's

[RuffnReadyOzStyle]

Manu needs to play smart and safe in the 2nd half... a pity he's not capable of that!

I feel a TP explosion coming up some time mid-3rd to mid-4th Q.

[absoloot66]

who is jesse williams?

Exactly...do I have to use a Google on him?

[moisaenz]

hopefully same lineup that ended 1st half

[Spurs Brazil]

Manu tres!

[007nites]

Manu!!!

[Juggity]

Manu waking up?

[spurspokesman]

manu thank you

[AASATX]

Manu? Did not see that one coming...

[loveforthegame]

Dare we welcome Manu.

[timtonymanu]

There's Manu. Go off this hald.

[testies]

manuuuu

[easjer]

They just need to come out strong and weather the storm. Do it, guys.

[Trifecta]

Heat in trouble if he gets hot!!!!!

[GSH]

That's fine. Hammer Bron's ass and make him earn them from the line. Don't let him get any rhythm going.

[100%duncan]

Yes Manu!

[PingPong]

Manu farted in the ST face early in the second half..

[SpursWoman]

If he goes 50, I will go full retard.


Lmao .... you aren't alone :lol

[loveforthegame]

Parker come on.

[Spurs21Fan4Ever]

Horrible defense by Parker.

[RuffnReadyOzStyle]

Jeez I hate Manu stepbacks, he's not good at it now like he used to be, but he needed that. Hopefully a sign of things ot come. :tu

[spurspokesman]

Parker sucking on chalmers lol

[ballhog]

Parker D sucks

[AASATX]

Timmy

[007nites]

Keep going Timmy

[GSH]

If you're going to put Tony out in the corner, let him shoot a damn 3. He's not a decoy.

[100%duncan]

TIMMMYYYYYYYYYYY

[loveforthegame]

Sloppy.

[timtonymanu]

Seriously. Do not leave Chalmers open. FFS.

[Spurs Brazil]

great job Kawhi

[Sleepy_Floyd]

Wow they FINALLY called a lose ball foul on the heat

[007nites]

We gotta extend the league

[spurspokesman]

Weather 1 more Miami storm and we got this

[Darius Bieber]

There goes the series.

[loveforthegame]

Parker we need you.

[007nites]

cmon TP wake up

[Spurs Brazil]

damn Tony, let's go

[Spurs21Fan4Ever]

Take their whistles.

[Juggity]

Parker looks off as fuck

[Baam]

Think the injury affect Tp's jumper.

[spurspokesman]

too many dumb fouls

[100%duncan]

Hoyl fuck TP
