The Look On His Face

that look on Parker's face

is the most depressing and terrifying look i have ever seen in my life... the feeling i see there i can only compare it to a man who just find out, out from nowhere, that he is going straight to hell and gonna suffer till the end of time...
at that moment Parker know that the three is going in and understand that the championship is gone, he see in front of his eyes the scariest nightmare becoming reality, he can't believe it that the most amazing dream that already were in his hands is slipped away for no reason, been messed up by his team own, it make him to want just to bury himself deep in the ground and to not come out never, he feels that his world is over...
that look on his face tell me that Tony is in big trauma right now, in the biggest misery, it tell me that he is not gonna be the same player anymore and you can all start write off his career...

why pop why, why Manu why... why pop why...

Don't ever forget that Manu and Pop are responsible for this:

Props to Ray Allen. Heat only paid him 3 million and he came up big in the Finals - Worth every penny. Unfortunately for the Spurs, they had a $14 million albatross on their team that did everything possible to lose the series.

you just can't simply move on with that tbh

It's tough but you gotta live with it. You take the good and the bad. I'm not mad at all about the finals. We took a juggernaut of a team to 7 games. In all that we saw the team go balls out and leave it all out there. That's what you want to see a team you love do regardless of the outcome.

so why pop had to be too cute and not to foul when you up by 3?

How long have you been a fan of the Popovich-era Spurs, tbh? He rarely signals for a foul up three.

I do loathe the decision to keep Duncan out for two straight possessions but bitching about not fouling up three considering the history of a Popovich-led team in that situation is a reach, imo.

No it doesn't. Cool arbitrary number you came up with tho, bro.

not foul/foul = Heat got a chance/Heat 99% don't get a chance, end of discussion... really your points are not acceptable, Pop fucked it up big time with not fouling, it doesn't metter and i don't care what he did in the past and what he used to do, championship game is championship game, it was supposed to be the easiest decision of his career, instead he ruin my life forever!

[Leetonidas]

Nobody ever fouls up three you fucking retard, you trust your defense which is what 99% of teams would do in the same situation. Only a fucking tool would intentionally foul the other team in that situation, especially considering Manu and Kawhi had just bricked a free throw. Jesus fuck get over it already.

also lol at pop ruining your life forever, you're a fucking sad excuse for a human being if thats the case. whatever bullshit emotions you feel over this, the Spurs themselves feel it much more so quit acting like you were slighted you selfish douche

it doesn't have a relevance to "trust your defense" or not, when you up by 3 the only relevance existent is if you want to give them a chance on a three(even if it despaired three) or not... and i also would have been anxious to see if Lebron would hit both free throws at that pressure(caus it's not a sexy pressure as shooting a three to tie the game)...

and for me it ruining my life, it was the most important thing, it was all or nothing, what can i do, you don't choose that...

TGY with another shitty take. He needs to close his own account down for his own good............

[cjw]

Absolutely right. Heat were out of timeouts I think, so fouling inside of the three point line is the absolute way to go. Worst case scenario, they are down 2 with 5-6 seconds to go (whistle would have blown well before 5.2), having to go the full court. And odds of that outcome are very slim. Say the Heat player makes 80% of foul shots = makes both 64% of the time ... Spur gets fouled and shoots 70%, so missing both is 9%. 64% x 9% = 5.8%, and they would still have to run all the way down court and score to tie or win.

We were on the wrong side of history, and that picture is as epic as the moment and will last a lifetime. Not quite a Bill Buckner moment because we were on a 7 year dry spell at the time, and not 70+ years.

Let's move on and create another one of our own next year.

[#1spursfanNvegas]

I dont understand how Pop is to be blamed.. He's the coach, not the player. He could have said foul everybody on the Heat a milliom times, but if the players dont foul, its not Pop's fault. You are asking the Spurs to make a play thats not based on instinct in a matter of seconds, and they failed to foul. Thats not reason to blame them either. If you play or understand hoops at all, you know what im talking about. If theres anyone to blame, its the effin missed free throws, make one of em and we are the champs. But still, you cant really blame kawhi or manu for the FTs coz if we dont have either of em, the Heat sweeps us. It hurts, but thats just how basketball is bro, you win some, you lose some. Unfortunately for us, it happened during the last 2 games of the finals.

:lmao Once again it's you that's starting this war. And if not hating Manu or Pop qualifies me as being a homer, then he'll I'm proud to be a homer! At least I don't waste my time making stupid ass digs trying to ruffle feathers. No, I'm not insulted by the sig. It's fuc*ing hilarious that you've taken this disagreement so hard.

[FromWayDowntown]

It's funny to see someone embrace Tim Duncan and kill Pop and Manu when Tim Duncan himself, by every single outward appearance that he's ever offered in 17-ish years with the Spurs would be the first to say that what the Spurs have done over time has happened in large part because of Pop and Manu.

In other words, there's ironic awesomeness in someone claiming Tim Duncan and then disclaiming everything that Tim Duncan stands for.

No. Grabbing either defensive rebound on LeBrons misses or having Kawahi/Manu hit either free throw does though.

No. Grabbing either defensive rebound on LeBrons misses or having Kawahi/Manu hit either free throw does though.even better, Manu not turning the ball over 8 times in Game 6 and Pop not trying to over coach and over think himself.

Great comeback, racist.

[Kidd K]

I think Parker will come back okay mentally. He just had one of his best seasons and is still young with quite a few years ahead of him. Duncan on the other hand, I do worry is going to coast now. Guy busted his ass for his best season in years at 37. . .and two of the three guys he trusts the most let him down all at once.

I don't expect either of them to "give up" mentally, but I worry about Duncan's effort level throughout the season now. I wonder if he may go into "I'll just flip the switch when we're back in the postseason" mode at this point. He's never done it before, but there's only so much a guy can take after being a winner his whole career then being benched and having the outcome of the most important game of the franchise since 2005 not even be in his hands to win after being a major key in carrying the team to that point.

With his age, and that letdown, I'm more worried about Timmy than Tony. Mostly because I couldn't even blame him if he packed it in mentally after what happened.

[Rogue]

The legendary French comedian Louis de Funes made similar hang-dog faces I guess it's just an expression of French sense of humor imho. And I still don't understand the overwhelming hatred on Manu. Dude pampered you guys too much in the past years which was the only thing he did wrong if anything, so when he came back to real you guys threw tons of trash talk at him like he was the only Spur that played bad, having forgotten the games that the 36yr old bald man won you almost single handedly in the same postseason, like the game one vs. the Warriors. And it wasn't manu's fault that you had to count on role players and kids (like Danny Verde, who shot 1-12 in their most important game of the season) to rescue you team. Your playoff run would've probably ceased as early as in the 2nd round without Manu tbh.

[Agloco]

even better, Manu not turning the ball over 8 times in Game 6 and Pop not trying to over coach and over think himself.


As with my example: should have, would have, could have.

You've got to give Spoelstra credit. He got the Pacers and Spurs to turn away from their best defenders on crucial possessions. He also got Pop to go away from Splitter from game 4 onwards. He's learned from '11. It's easier to win when the other coach handicaps themselves.

[spursfan09]

TP will be fine. I think in sports the highs and lows are such a roller coaster you move on real fast from the feelings you felt even last game. Best medicine will be getting on the court again next season

I don't know how much credit I can give Spoelstra. He didn't whisper in Pop's ear and make him bench Duncan. The Heat were down 5 with limited time left and were obviously needing two threes and the Spurs to miss a free throw. Pop assumed it'd be better to have faster defenders than any rebounders, apparently thinking we'd get the boards automatically.

So. . .Spo' can't be given much if any credit for being down 5 in an elimination game with less than 30 seconds left and needing two miracle threes and free throw misses imo.

The thing is down 5 with that much time the Heat didn't necessarily need a 3. They needed the best available shot. It might have been a 3 but it didn't have to be. In that situation you're just trying to extend the game and hope the other team misses some free throws.

I know that's what they always say on tv, but having seen enough NBA games unfold, I'm positive that you do need threes in those situations. By need, I mean it's the higher percentage chance to win the game. It's possible to do it with twos, but not quite as feasable.

They would need even more missed free throws and their time to score decreases and shrinks, as well as their ability to call timeouts disappearing. Every time the other team doesn't miss a free throw while taking twos, you're back to square one with less timeouts (or none), less time, and still needing the same amount of points.

What they did was exactly what they should have. Going for two would actually decrease their chances of tying it up, not increase. The threes are easier to rebound too since they tend to bounce further, giving them better chance for offensive boards. Bricking a layup or a runner all but guarantees the defense gets it since they have too many guys right there.

[Spurs21Fan4Ever]

Nothing compared to the pics of Duncan, the man whose coach didn't trust him in the final 28 seconds of a closeout game of the NBA Finals, despite his legendary career and legacy he left on the game of basketball.
