We all know how it is being a Spurs fan, it's rewarding and terrible at the same time. I've been a fan of these guys since I was old enough to understand the sport of basketball, and I'm going to say right now that the Heat will win in 6.
Why? Well, tonight the old trend of missed free throws that has cursed this franchise since the Duncan era loomed back into the picture. We would have won that game had we hit at least three of those four.
Here's what is going to happen based on the trend of the Spurs franchise and this squad in particular:
Game 3: We win this one pretty easily, our big three have monster games and we look to take control over the series again.
Game 4: Close one, but the Heat win out with a fourth quarter run. Pop puts the bench in and they bring it back, Cojo shines by bringing it close but not obtainable as time runs out. Conceited game meant to fire up the guys in classic Spurs fashion. SpursTalk praises Cojo but wails on Tony and Manu again.
Game 5: We get a big lead early, Miami looks dead. LeBron wakes up and carries them to another huge run and they take the lead via a controversial call at the end that gives us a chance to win at the buzzer with a few seconds left. It rims out and Miami steals the pivotal Game 5. SpursTalk doomsday threads (like this one) will erupt en masse and Heat fans come out of the woodworks here and become arrogant and ultimately condescending with early "good series guys" type messages.
Game 6: Our guys are pissed and the media reminds everybody about last year's game 6 and what happened there for the millionth time, SpursTalk panics until the game, doomsday and optimism threads shine everywhere. Timvp shows up again with a long, optimistic return post that becomes an historic thread bumpable for years to come about our guys not letting another 6. happen.
Good news, 6. doesn't happen. Not exactly, no, instead we lose in double overtime despite an incredible performance by Duncan that reaps nearly 40 points and 14 rebounds because he is just that damn good. The game is close throughout, nobody has a lead bigger than five. Ray Allen bricks a game winning three at the buzzer that leads us into double OT.
We start off hot but ultimately Bron gets calls and goes to the line and before we know it, the Heat will be up by about 5 with 30 seconds left to go. We bite our nails thinking that this could be our turn to 6. them, and despite Manu hitting a big three, Bosh answers back with a clutch shot in the corner that cements the game unobtainable with seconds to go and the Heat up by too much. Bosh earns him a longterm deal somewhere else in the offseason due to the clutch corner shot as the Heat threepeat and win a championship in Game 6. LeBron hugs Pop and Duncan and the Heat celebrate on their own floor in Game 6 yet again, a year later.
SpursTalk becomes a meltdown forum for months on end, with many "Fire Pop", "Trade Parker" threads. Leonard is also considered a choker after this series by not doing much of anything throughout and people call for trading him. It doesn't happen, of course, but Beli is traded and Diaw goes elsewhere in the offseason. We pick up an obscure guy from an Eastern conference team that we hype up for months that ends up being completely mediocre and not even on the playoff roster, which we get the third seed in the West with OKC and the Clippers above us.
We win the the first series but lose in 6. after round 2, reminding and torturing all of us that 6 is our new unlucky number as 0.4 is retired.
Duncan retires in two years on a somewhat good note but never delivering his 5th. Pop retires alongside Duncan and thus our Western conference dominance comes to an end.
All because of four missed treebies in Game 2...
(Timvp never returns after we lose the Finals.)
