[HarlemHeat37]

How badly Lebron beat us in game 7 last year, tbh:(..

Sometimes you just have to accept when a player has a legacy defining game, but I'll never get over how badly he destroyed us in the biggest game of the season, along with shutting down Tony, tbh..maybe one day we can get over it, but man, it's hard to think about it..

[Bynumite]

Bailed outPERIOD

San Antonio Cucks chokedPERIOD

Bricks & turnovers until daddy Ray stepped back and did what Lebeta couldn'tPERIOD

[HarlemHeat37]

Spurs obviously choked and deserved to lose game 6, but nothing you can do when a man scores 37 on 20 shots in game 7, and shuts down your best offensive player, tbh..in any other year, we probably win the title, tbh:(..

[HarlemHo 37]

Miami fan parading around as Spurs fan trolling hard, tbfh.

[Katherine Robinson]

Without Ray Allen's 3, he choked away a title. Nobody will ever remember him missing that game tying shot because of Ray Allen.

Must be hard to hit all them wide open jump shots, tbh. But he finally managed to do it consistently for an entire basketball game in the Finals. Kudos to him.

Every 3 was literally wide open, 1:15 he had 5 seconds to get the shot off before the nearest defender could even get to him.

He managed to hit the clincher in game 7 when Leonard decided to give him 10 feet of air space. Not sure if that was just a horrendously bad defensive sequence or if Pop dared Lebron to knock it down.

[elmanutres]

I got over it a week later. Just shut up and enjoy the new season. Who the fuck said we're through?

[Bynumite]

Artest doesn't rebound that airball, Kirby would be stuck at 3.

I don't think so, faggot. Series was tied 2-2 when MWP made that buzzer beater vs Phoenix.

Allen doesn't hit that 3 and Lebeta goes home empty-handed with 1 ring in 4 Finals appearances.

[HarlemHeat37]

Ray Allen's 3 didn't hurt as much because it was entirely Pop's fault for leaving the greatest PF of all-time on the bench when we just needed a rebound, tbh..the coach of the team choked and you just have to accept that as a sports fan..Pop is the best coach in the league, we have to accept both his strengths and weaknesses, we wouldn't have 4 rings without him..

Game 7 hurt more because it was a player imposing his will and manhandling our best offensive player, there's literally nothing the Spurs could have done, tbh..

[Michael Jordan.]

I don't think so, faggot. Series was tied 2-2 when MWP made that buzzer beater vs Phoenix.

the biggest chokejob in NBA history.

i don't know if it's the biggest chokejob though. we were the underdogs going into it, and we all knew it was going to be a dog fight. I guess we just didn't expect Manu to be as bad as he was. It's amazing we made it as close as we did when our secondary ball handler was playing like he was at the Buenos Aries YMCA. The East being better, the Heat being on their 4th championship run, and Spurs bringing in Marco to cover up Manu at times does give me some hope.

[N0 LyF3 ScRuB]

OP is a faggot Lebron nuthugger.

He beat us so bad he airballed a three and missed two others in the finals 40 seconds along with 2 of his 6 turnovers

This terrible troll belongs to either Bynumite or besteva.

[Phillip]

Without Ray Allen's 3, he choked away a title. Nobody will ever remember him missing that game tying shot because of Ray Allen.

probably because people remember more of the way that he singlehandedly got them back into the game, so that Ray's miracle 3 was even possible

or people remember the way he completely dominated from start to finish of game 7

probably because those things mattered more, as they spanned across over an hour of basketball being played, as opposed to one bad 30 second stint in the middle of it

[InRareForm]

Game 6 hurt more because it entailed game 7's inevitable outcome and whatever lebron was going to do given another chance

[RsxPiimp]

None of those carried the same magnitude as Ray Allen's shot. Horry tied the series in 2002 and the Spurs were never in danger of losing a series in 2005. The Lakers were up by 3 in 2010 when MWP hit the dagger and Kobe passed :lol


Allen's Hail Mary was a legacy saver. Had he miss that shot, the series ends there. Lebron, averaging 22 ppg in 41% shooting would be 1-4 in NBA Finals.

i swear no one is more incapable of posting stats correctly than you. and stats are the single easiest thing to post. your stupidity must be off the charts

everyone here has very good points tbh

but let's summarize:
- Lebron was choking up to 30 seconds to go in game 6. If you stop the tape right there and summarize Lebron's Finals, you say... LeChokejob.
- Lebron did get some credit back in that game 7, but let's be honest, it was a game 7 at home, what visiting team has a chance especially since Spurs were already in shock from that game 6? Let's be honest and recognize Spurs were not themselves in that game 7, few visiting teams are.
- Ray Allen, the best shooter in history put his prints in the series no doubt. :pctoss
- Ginobili... what else can be said. smh

Incorrect.

Lebron was an unstoppable force in the 4th quarter until the span of about 40 seconds left to 30 seconds left where he had two turnovers. The first turnover was bad and flat out a mistake on LBJ's part. The second turnover looked like it was an alleyoop pass to Chris Bosh who was wide open, but simply never even went for the pass. It seemed more like a miscommunication, but either way, it shouldn't have happened at that point in the game.

Lebron "choked" for 10 seconds of game 6, with plenty of magnificent play before, and an incredibly clutch shot right after, hitting a very key 3 pointer.


- Lebron did get some credit back in that game 7, but let's be honest, it was a game 7 at home, what visiting team has a chance especially since Spurs were already in shock from that game 6? Let's be honest and recognize Spurs were not themselves in that game 7, few visiting teams are.

:lmao not themselves in game 7, despite the fact that they played well enough to be in it the entire game

fwiw i recall a team winning a road game 7 before, after an upsetting game 6 loss. back in 2006 IIRC... weren't the spurs involved in that one too? :rollin

disagree. 6 turnovers in game 6 almost matches Ginobili who pretty much lost all his fans because of it :lol




:lmao not themselves in game 7, despite the fact that they played well enough to be in it the entire game

they are professional NBA athletes, of course they will play well enough, well enough to lose. If you don't think the last 30 secods of game 6 changed the entire series, I don't know what to tell you

We shot 30% from the field that game and you barely won with LeB at his best

[Arcadian]

Well... I'll always remember that.

The same way I'll always remember Tim Duncan's shot in 2004 that came before Fisher's shot. You can say it was overshadowed - but that really was one of the greatest shots of all time in its own right.

[Phillip]

disagree. 6 turnovers in game 6 almost matches Ginobili who pretty much lost all his fans because of it :lol

MJ had 3 straight games of 5 TOs in the Finals against Portland. He also had a monster 7 TO game, shooting 36% in game 6 against the Knicks that year, a game that they lost and allowed a game 7. Big whoop. They still won. Just like Miami.

I don't disagree that there is momentum that plays into things. But that's what separates championships teams from non championship teams. The Heat could have curled into a ball and gave up after Parker traveled and hit that miracle shot to win game 1 and take HCA away from Miami, but instead they came out and dominated the next game, and eventually won the series.


never said it "never" happened. And I was referring to Finals game 7s

sigh, he's bringing up 1 mere playoff game by Jordan when I'm talking about Finals.

I am not denying SA lost to a superior opponent. yes, Heat > Spurs. But Spurs also choked when leading by 6 with 30 seconds to go :rolleyes facts are facts. Also another fact is that Lebron had 6 turnovers in that game and was close to being humiliated like Ginobili

Also dead eye shooter Ray Allen made and appearance and that combined with Ginobili's 8 turnovers was the difference in that game 6. but you may remain in fantasy land if it makes you feel better.

[HarlemHeat37]

If Lebron doesn't make the switch to guarding Tony and forcing him to have one of the worst games of his career, Spurs win easily, tbh..

I didn't think it was possible for prime TP to be shut down by anybody, especially with how confident he was all series after dominating Chalmers and Cole, I can't get over that, tbh..

[Hoops Czar]

Tony was playing with a bad hamstring which limited his movement. I guess a heat fan will say anything to make Lebron look good.

He will do anything to prop up his idol. Even at the expense of his favorite team: Spurs. ;)

[Rogue]

Spurs let role players take the central stage against the Heat which was the main reason they lost imho. You can't win ships by role players, with the 11' mavs being probably the only exception in the modern era.

[Hoops Czar]

No, the reason the Spurs lost was their best player went down with a hamstring injury and tried to play through it. If Lebron went down, I wonder how many Heat fans would be putting an asterisk by the Spurs title.

[HarlemHo 37]

Dude is a bandwagon fan if I've ever seen one. Started off a Spurs fan when they were winning, After 2010, thought they were finished and jumped all over the Heat bandwagon. Still humpin Lebron's junk, tbh. Would you believe he's also a Bronco fan. I know a front runner when I see one, tbh.

[spurraider21]

:lmao nobody is going to think back to the 2013 NBA finals and think "oh man, that was the time lebron dominated the spurs"

LeBron scored plenty in game 7, but much like the closeout of the 2012 finals where Mike Miller gets recognized, people will recognize Battier in game 7. lebron did hit the dagger shots, so i'll surely give him that. still Harlem, everybody here outside of no life faggot know that LeBron is the best player in the game today. there's no need to unnecessarily slurp him off for his finals performance, which is nothing to slurp about. his best stretch probably game in the 4th of game 6, and even then, he choked like crazy in the last couple of minutes of that one.

[DAF86]

i don't know if it's the biggest chokejob though. we were the underdogs going into it, and we all knew it was going to be a dog fight. I guess we just didn't expect Manu to be as bad as he was. It's amazing we made it as close as we did when our secondary ball handler was playing like he was at the Buenos Aries YMCA. The East being better, the Heat being on their 4th championship run, and Spurs bringing in Marco to cover up Manu at times does give me some hope.

Manu played more or less like he had played all season, as he said: "so-so", tbh. The one I didn't expect to suck as he did was Tony, tbrh, fwiw, imho.

[TDMVPDPOY]

upstairs will use the excuse spurs playing with house money as they are RS contenders and playoff making up the numbers, in other words they be happy with whatever result with a aging duncan...i dont buy that excuse with the results of this team last 3 seasons...

[Phillip]

Also dead eye shooter Ray Allen made and appearance and that combined with Ginobili's 8 turnovers was the difference in that game 6. but you may remain in fantasy land if it makes you feel better.

So the only difference was those turnovers by Ginobili, and Ray's 3? None of the other 51 minutes worth of basketball that took place through the game? Okay.
