Can't sleep. This is hell.

[Budkin]

Tossing and turning like a mofo with those last 28 seconds replaying over and over and over.... Kill me.

[dallasmaverickslose]

I'm in the same situation brother. Damn, this hurts.

[RD2191]

Same here. We had it man. We fucking had it.:depressed

[EJFischer]

I just took a Xanax. This is physically painful in the manner of heartbreak.

[slick'81]

I just keep cn that manu and kawahi missed fts .along with that final 3 Miami hit to go into overtime ball was in the air forever

[Keepin' it real]

Tossing and turning like a mofo with those last 28 seconds replaying over and over and over.... Kill me.

I'm still sitting on my recliner ... have been unable to move for last 2 and a half hours. Numb.

[dbreiden83080]

I raged up and down my hallways for about 10 minutes..

When Allen hit that 3 I felt like someone punched me as hard as they can in the stomach.. I was screaming at my TV at the top of my lungs when Tim sat out..

My fucking throat hurts...

[timtonymanu]

There is still one more game to be played. I tossed and turned after Games 2 and 4 (even though this one was way worse).

I'm saving my depression if the Spurs lose Game 7.

[bdictjames]

It's a basketball game guys, and a dang good one at that. It happens. The Spurs have secured their legacy, and there's still one more game to play.

[TheyCallMePro]

I'm trying to rationalize things. Miami played great in the 4th quarter and overtime. They hit big shots. We didn't. Everyone thought we were going to lose this game. We can play so much better. We need to incorporate Danny and Neal in the offense again. No more Splitter. We need ball movement. Both teams are going to be fatigued. The better TEAM will win game 7.

Then again...Lebron missed a ton of shots in game 6. So did Wade. Bosh was largely ineffective most of the game. We had a 5 fucking point lead with 28 seconds left to win the NBA Championship. Kawhi missed a Finals clinching free-throw. Manu turned it over 7 FUCKING TIMES. Tim scored 5 total points in the 4th quarter and overtime. Danny Green was nowhere to be found. Neal was nowhere to be found. We got most of the calls and still lost.

Yeah... I can see why you can't sleep...

[TDomination]

Not alone on this one.

My only comfort is knowing that unlike those other painful losses, .04, manu foul in 06, spurs still just need one more and its their championship.

its one of those things that in order to come back from this loss is getting together, having a heart to heart, letting their stress out about this game. they need to let it all out, whether its punching a wall, yelling really loud, cursing, whatever it might be but after they are done with all that, they need to take a deep breath and realize that they are privileged with the opportunity to rewrite history and make game 6 meaningless.

with each other and knowing that they will each give their all for one more game. they were close but they were far from perfect. they CAN play better, thats the good thing.

they've surprised EVERYBODY up to this point, they can surprise everybody again.

[ThePop]

I wish we lost to Golden State

[cjw]

I haven't turned on the TV since getting home. Won't turn it on again until game 7.

[dbreiden83080]

It's a basketball game guys, and a dang good one at that. It happens. The Spurs have secured their legacy, and there's still one more game to play.

This one will never go away.. Years from now it will be hard to watch old finals game they won because the stink of this one will be in your mind..

I would have been cool if the Heat kicked our ass in this series but not like this...

Not like this...

[SpursFan86]

I had trouble sleeping last night because I was so anxious about the thought of winning it all tonight.

I'll have trouble sleeping tonight because we pulled off one of the biggest chokes in NBA history.

[Darius Bieber]

You and me both man. And I gotta be at work at 9 tomorrow morning.

[Capt Bringdown]

It's 2AM, do you know where your Spurs fans are?

-losing their minds over the worst loss in Spurs history

[Rapper]

Go to sleep now and have a dream of our 5th championship

[Budkin]

Seriously. They were wheeling out the fucking stage... AAAAAAAAAGGGGHHHHHHH

[Capt Bringdown]

I had to take a bio break when Leonard was shooting those FTs. I'll never forget the blood-curdling scream coming from the TV room: "HE MISSED IT."

[atoyotagaspedal]

Watching game of thrones, don't feel that bad tbh

[efrem1]

I have to go to bed. So depressing. From the missed Gilmore shot in the 83 WCF to now, I have seen many disappointments. I am heading for Colorado and maybe seeing some Indian ruins will take my mind off this shocker.

[BatManu20]

FUUUUUUUUUUUCCCCCCCCKKKKKKKKKKKKKKKKKKK MEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEE.

We fucking had this game!! It just hit me again! Up 4 points with 20 seconds left and we pissed it down the drain in a manner I never thought the Spurs would ever be associated with. Is this really how it's going to end? Is my last memory of the Spurs Big 3 era going to be us choking away #5 like this?? Shoot me.

[davidbowie]

i went driving downtown about half an hour after we lost. some fans out there honking optimistically, but overall it was incredibly depressing.

i dont want to go to bed because i hate that feeling of waking up and remembering instantly what happened the night before.

[siraulo23]

Seriously. They were wheeling out the fucking stage... AAAAAAAAAGGGGHHHHHHH

Ffffff, i gotta stay away from bball till the start of game 7, ffffff

[Capt Bringdown]

Dreams of Duncan's 5th, after a fantastic come-back season...is this how it ends?

[davidbowie]

when i got home i made it 20 seconds into sportscenter and had to turn it off

:vomit:

[EIC]

Can't imagine what it will be like to see replays of this game in the future. I'm just now getting to the point that replays of the 0:04 don't hurt that much. But that was a 6.0 on the Richter. This was a 9.0. That bitch is going to sting for a long, long time.

[timvp]

:lol @ sleep

[dbreiden83080]

Dreams of Duncan's 5th, after a fantastic come-back season...is this how it ends?

Yes...

And it's all Pop's fault...

I need to buy like 20 bars off of you, for real.

Can't and will not watch any ESPN/NBAtv unless its a public apology from greg popovich.

[polandprzem]

wtf sleep? I slept 50 minutes or so just to watch the spurs fail big time giving championship to the fucking I mean really fuckin Heat team

[DJR210]

:lol @ sleep

Yo timvp, I turned in my Spurs card at your request for hating on Manu recently..but after tonight's game would it be ok If I could request it back???

[blkroadrunners]

I work nights, but this lose still has me. Can't even think straight.

[alamo50]

I went straight to work at 6:30AM.

[dg7md]

:depressed

I'll be up for a long, long time.

[Stabula]

I wonder how many suicides there'll be by morning

[timvp]

I wonder how many suicides there'll be by morning

Shiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiii, I can't even blame a Spurs fan after that loss, tbh.

[TheGreatYacht]

Countless terrible coaching decisions.
Not the least of them is playing Manu way too many fucking minutes. We were up by at least 10 when Manu came in and pissed it away. It was so obvious that Miami was licking their chops when Manu was in and trapping him so that he would make a ridiculous pass that they could pick off. What's that, Pop? Parker was tired? WHO GIVES A FLYING FUCK!!! There is no tomorrow; it's a must win game! YOU HAVE LESS THAN A 1% CHANCE OF WINNING A GAME 7 IN MIAMI, you dumb POS.
Don't even get me started on pulling Duncan not once, but twice in critical situations. You know they are going to get one good look at the shot. You know this because, if you are half a coach, you will have told your guys NOT TO FUCKING FOUL. Your best hope is that they brick the shot and you get the rebound. Fuck, if only we had a consensus first fucking ballot Hall of Famer at power forward on our team who's, like, really fucking good at rebounds. Oh, wait! We do, and his fucking name is Tim Duncan. Too bad he's RIDING THE FUCKING PINE with the game on the line.
The Spurs were killing it with Parker, Green, Leonard, Diaw, and Duncan, and Pop blows up the lineup down the stretch to put in Turnobili, Tiago "Stone Hand, Pussy Feet" Splitter, and Gary Neal. What the fuck!!! Ride your goddamn ponies into the ground. THERE IS NO FUCKING GAME 7 YOU STUPID PIECE OF SHIT!!!
My only solace is that Pop will regret his bullshit coaching for the remainder of his life. And he deserves to.

Is there anyone in here, that DIDN'T know that MANU was going to have a shit game after his first 3 or 4 or 5 turnovers? It's only been his MO all season...1 good game, 2 bad games, etc.
Manu had his good game in game 5. He came out like shit in this game, and everyone knew how it would go.
Yet POP gave him even MORE minutes this game. IMHO, it's not even that close without Manu's turnovers. And that is totally on POP, for increasing his minutes in perhaps the worst game of MANU's career.

Manu TO's: 8 Rest of Spurs TO's: 5.

I was texting my buddy, Manu would come in and kill the lead. I was yelling at the TV for Timmy to come in and rebound, before Lebron's 3. Pop, you were a fucking moron tonight. And no ,that is not second guessing or any of that shit. Pop fucked up royally tonight. Fuckkkk.

Manu doesn't just play bad. He gives the other teams too many points with his turnovers. Then...after all the turnover shit, he STILL hasn't learned his lesson and gives Bosh and and1.

Look at the lineup that was out there, who was going to score? Certainly not weak ass splitter and certainly not Turnover happy Manu. I don't think Tim went to Pop and said, "Pop it's game 6, the trophy is waiting for us but I need to rest", You're running on adrenaline if not just hyped for the moment. Tony resting even though he didn't carry the load for the first half? That's just shitty coaching.. You have a 10 point lead and you go for the throat you don't ease off and hope to maintain a lead.. Shit, you call a time out as if that was going to help and you keep the same shitty players out there who had no momentum, no play called or anything to get them going.. nothing for Green or Neal?
Being 37 has nothing to do with being in the moment, 1 game and up by 10 and the crowd not into it..

Pop is just too damn hardheaded for his own good. AndI'm getting damn tired of his childish, bullshit interviews where he tries to be cute. Get over yourself, Pop. Tonight was his worst coaching game I can remember. Some can say Manu cost us the game tonight but, Pop should have yanked his ass when all of us saw Manu no longer had it. He gave all he had in game 5 and at his age and with all his ailments it didn't take an Einstein to see he just didn't have it tonight.
Every NBA player alive wanted us to kick Lebron's ass and instead he kicked Pop in the balls. Maybe Pop got into a bad batch of Jamaican Rum thinking it was wine. He stunk the place up tonight.

Why no TO 20 secs before the end of OT?Amateur coaching by Pop.

8 second chance points for Heat in 44 minutes of Tim on the floor.
6 second chance points in last 30 seconds of regulation with Tim spectating from the bench.

Riding Manu too long and not having Duncan out there to rebound on the Ray Allen 3 were big time fails. Keeping Duncan on the bench was perhaps the biggest fail, as Indiana made the same mistake with Hibbert in the ECF. Teams just keep letting Miami off the hook.This should help you get some sleep.

[HB22inSA]

Spurs losses over the past few years, especially in the playoffs, didn't bother me too much anymore.

But this one hurts.

Especially when you know, deep down, the Spurs outplayed them and deserved to win.

[TrainOfThought5]

all i see is Ginobili jump pass after jump pass... throwin it out of bounds, into the hands of defenders, etc. etc.

Man, that cuts...why?

[wtgspurs]

Seriously, Im 21 and when the Spurs lose, i cant even get it up to make love to my girl. I hope we win on Thursday or she's gonna have some tough days ahead of her. :depressed

[TheyCallMePro]

I couldn't watch any of the post game stuff. I saw that Manu said it was a devastating loss that would be hard to recover from. Great. Just what we all needed to hear Manu. And after your nightmare of a game too.

They WERE bringing out the fucking stage. They had the yellow tape around the court and EVERYTHING. Even Dwayne fucking Wade noticed it and mentioned it post game (okay I watched a little while wiping away tears)

I wanted this so fucking bad. Seriously, people I've been close to have fucking died and this loss hurts worse. I probably wont be able to speak for 2 days. I lost my voice screaming when Manu turned it over all those times and when Allen hit that 3 to tie it.

I literally wont sleep tonight. I'm too fucking depressed. And it physically hurts imagining losing game 7 and this series when we were so close in game 6.

If we lose in game 7. Then this loss is never, EVER going to leave me. I'll remember it everyday for the rest of my life. Christ.

[shingo_318]

Don't want to eat, sleep or work. My boss will fire me soon.

Ehhh...if they would have won most of yall would be up celebrating anyways tbh.

[poop]

Its 3am and I can't sleep either. The magnitude of this loss keeps getting bigger. Just want to curl up and die

[BatManu20]

Random thought: Did anyone else notice T-Mac's face as soon as Green's desperation 3 got blocked and the game ended? He immediately looked down and gave a little smirk like as to say "Fuck. I knew it was too good to be true.." And he immediately headed for the locker room. Was the first person to walk off. I think he knew that his one shot to win a ring just disintegrated right in front of him after being so close he could taste it.

[CitizenDwayne]

^You know he's gotta be thinking "if only it had been me taking that 3..."

Chill, bro. The loss sucks but it shouldnt scar you for life tbh. Still a basketball game at the end of the day.

[hommeaetage]

Pop has done several things over the last 6 years that made me question his ability to coach in big games, but none were bigger than these:

1. The moronic lineup to start the 4th. (Called a timeout, and still stuck with it)
2. Playing Manu huge minutes when he was clearly out of it
3. Going away from Duncan in the post when it was working
4. not putting your best free throw lineup when you need it (I can give him a pass from that)
5. Sitting Duncan on the first Lebron 3
6. The first LeBron 3 came after an offensive rebound. You would've thought he learned his lesson, he proceeded by doing the same thing again

[TDomination]

Spursfans, just realize that if spurs win game 7, tonight will mean nothing.

i feel over this loss already because
1) it wasn't game 7. It was only game 6, thats why winning game 5 was so huge, because now we have another opportunity to win it all.
2) we are in the finals and we are in game 7, a position that i would say less than 1% of our fanbase thought we would be in to begin the playoffs or even to begin this series with the heat.
3) we only need ONE game, thats it. JUST ONE. Not one and then many other games to make it to the finals, no they only need one to win it all.
4.) once we win game 7, it will be THAT MUCH SWEETER after what happened in game 6 (miami think they have this in the bag already)

[td4mvp2k]

I was physically sick for a week after 0.4. I didnt sleep or eat for three days.

I feel similar but I actually have hope for game 7. And regardless spurs gifted us all this.

[hommeaetage]

3:43 AM. Not only I can't sleep, my blood pressure has increased by 15 above normal. I feel like I'm gonna have a panic attack. I don't think I'll be able to watch game 7

[easjer]

Yeah. Same here. I'm so tired right now, I'm on the verge of crying. Just couldn't get the mind to shut off. Alarm goes off in 45 minutes. Said before the game I didn't think they could disappoint with how amazing they had been, that I was pretty happy. Doesn't feel like there is a chance in he'll right now. Keep seeing the replay, man. I haven't been that emotionally invested in years. I said during the fourth that I was watching them throw it away, which was bad enough. Watching that collapse because of that horrible lineup. Then the return. Then those last 28 seconds. It is so ridiculous to be gutted over a game, but I honest to God can't forget that it was literally in our hands. Missed free throws. Missed rebounds. Missed calls. I still feel sick. I don't know how they show up after that either. I couldn't picture a collapse of .4 or 2006 magnitude. I'd like to summon shades of 2005, but it's hard.

[SpursOwn]

This one won't go away. Fuck you Pop, make this shit right and stop making this about yourself. But this stubborn stubborn man has kept Matt Bonner for years, why would he change now? He will throw this thing to the ground by playing Ginobli and then have the nerve to pull the guy responsible for all of his rings in clutch time. Again, Pop you better make this shit right you godamned piece of shit. Yes, you are not God's gift to coaching.

I said it in another thread, but I had a hydrocodone left over from a kidney stone. I finally decided that was the only way I was going to get any sleep for tomorrow. I hate taking shit, but I was like a caged animal. Those things knocked me out when I was hurting like childbirth, but I'm still crawling the freaking walls. Damn, to have it in your hands and just piss it off like that. This was historic, with a 37 year old Tim Duncan having a game to make highlight reels from here on out.

And to have it happen to the most annoying team in history, where it will be replayed and replayed. If we lose 7, I'm done with TV, especially ESPN and the likes, for a lonnnnng time. I know everyone says that, but this is def a truth. Watching the Heat parade and shit will make me break things.

[BatManu20]

I literally can't sleep either. Just tossed and turned for an hour. All because of a damn basketball game. This fucking sucks. WE had it in our hands and you piseed it away Spurs. Damn you! This is going to haunt Spurs fans for the rest of their days..

I feel a lot less sorry for millionaire athletes who, no matter how shitty they play, still get to go home to their mansions and model girlfriends and pick up a 7-figure paycheck. Win or lose, they'll be on vacation in some exotic location next week while us schmucks who've gotten emotionally attached to this team get to deal with agony and misery of what could've been while still working our shitty 9-5's.

[davidbowie]

I've had diarrhea all morning

[TE]

I was hammered yesterday but I had the typical drunken rant and then just tried to sleep it off but I wake up today with a feeling of sadness that's akin to a breakup. Wow, I still can't believe we lost that game after having a very favorable opportunity to win. What a fucking travesty man...fuck.

[Jenks]

This was easily the least fun all nighter of my life

Glad I'm not the only one who is majorly sleep deprived today. So angry and frustrated right now - keep thinking of the "if only's".

Seriously, I feel like I just found out my wife is having an affair or something. WTF is this?? Over a damn basketball game? I've never felt this shitty before over anything not death related. Damn you Manu and Pop!! This will haunt us for the rest of our days.

[sammy]

I finally fell asleep about 2:30 am but fucking tossed and turned and dreamed that game all night long! Woke up about 5:30 am and just can't go to sleep and I definitely will not be watching fucking BSPN! I was at the ATT Center and everyone was cheering! I have no voice and I just couldn't believe the missed free throws and Timmy sitting on the bench in crunch time! WTF! I am so angry and disappointed! Spurs have now faced adversity and this is it! Spurs in 7! Go Spurs Go!

[benefactor]

To go with everything else I've got a pretty wicked case of hemorrhoids.

[Harry Callahan]

At least this will be over one way or the other Thursday, but I was livid after watching the Spurs not be able to make two free throws or secure a rebound twice in the last 30 seconds.

My anger is not going to go away soon. They let the Heat off the hook. They were done and the Spurs let them OFF THE HOOK. I'm sick to my stomach.

There is no radio listening or Sportscenter for 48 hours. I don't want to hear those morons. I know what happened.

BTW, how does Kawhi Leonard not get that rebound away from a crippled Wade on James' miss on the three with 20 seconds left?

This is truly awful for me. I never dreamed the Spurs could win another title, and it is in hand only to be squandered.

The ONLY good news is the Spurs get another chance. Maybe they can overcome, but it will take a great deal of fortitude to do it.

I hope we can still celebrate on Thursday night, but it will be beyond tough to do now. I'm ready for the offseason either way - we should be in the offseason right now. :bang

[urunobili]

didn't sleep here either... the few chancesi thought i did i woke up sweaty and thinking about the non grabbed rebound and the FT misses by Manu, Parker and Kawhi :depressed

Tim's legacy was going to be enhanced last night. Pop took it away from him.. Lebron was going to get destroyed in the press, Pop handed it back to him..
