Official Nickname for the Game 1 Victory, place your poll options here

All Spurs Fans and witnesses of the events of 6 May 2013,

In the likeness of the Memorial Day Miracle, we need to nickname last night's victory. I would like to run a poll on the site, but before that, we need to gather the best suggestions for names. Please post them here and I'll start a poll in about a day.

My first nomination:

"The Miraculous Four"

The Warriors against Golden State.

Referring to the role players being warriors, as well as Jefferson turning on his team per par.

Just go with the alliterative choice, "The Four Minute Miracle." That would be my vote. Alliteration.

The Monday Midnight Miracle

Revenge of the Sixth

Pre-Memorial Day Miracle

Cinco de Manu

"Manu's Midnight Miracle"

"Manu's Manic Marvel"

Even though Manu hit the game winner he shouldn't have his name in it after taking that horrendous shot(also 5-20).

The Manu Mania in May

Like another poster (Arcadian) suggested in another thread:

"The Duncan Flu Game" :p:

He was bound to have his own "Flu Game" sometime in his career, right? Just an "under the radar" one a la Spurs-style, of course. :lol

Manu de Dios...ala fellow Argentinian Maradona

The Mistaken Miracle

The Comeback

this is solid too. "The Midnight Miracle" alone might be solid. it would better capture the entirety of the comeback (which was the true miracle), rather than just the one shot

"The Doesn't Mean a Damned Thing if the Spurs Don't Win the Series"

Truthbomb. :lol

The Counter-Rape Game!

The Manu Miracle or

The Four Minute Massacre

I'm on board with Midnight Miracle. I like Four Minute Miracle but I think it doesn't give enough credence to the two overtimes that were crucial battlezones.

Midnight Mayhem, perhaps? Just so we're not slapping miraculous labels on every memorable Spurs win.

"The breakfast game"

:toast

The Breakfast of Champions game

The Four Minutes of Apocalypse

You got the Warriors vs. the Spurs (items worn by horsemen), Timmy with the Pestilence goods, Curry feasted for so much of the game only to play but found only Famine in the closing minutes, and Death is so often portrayed as a pale, bald, unstoppable being who comes for you at the end. Last night he wore 20.

Everyone will remember "Duncan's Flu Game."

Even if not "officially" named that...people will remember the game Duncan had the flu.

Having said that. I like "MANU'S REDEMPTION"

"Redemption"

I like The Miracle at Midnight.

I like...


Game 1 Rd 2

Right. Not trying to come up with any kind of "flashy" name (again it was Arcadian's suggestion in another thread)... but I will seriously remember that Duncan had the flu, simple as that, and we had to come back WITHOUT him... And we DID. :wow

What made the win especially significant was just how much we were down, and how little time when had to come back. "Four Minute" signifies the latter, "Miracle" gives a nod to how unlikely it is to come back from 16 down in 4 minutes. So besides the fact that it's quite pithy, "The Four Minute Miracle" also has the most descriptive value, imo. #campaigning

^^^ Ehh, sounds like a workout video or something to me, tbh. :lol

I just know what I'll be calling it from here on out. :p:

I'm all for "The Midnight Miracle"

although it was 10pm here in the west coast :rollin

Seis De Maynu

"Someone find that screaming lady and remove her!" game.

:tu "Midnight Miracle"

"Don't get your fuckin' hopes up, it is just one game" sounds good to me...has a ring to it.

The Four Minute Miracles - there were three four minute miracles in the game.

"This is what I do" or something like that

"Ultimate Fappage"

ESPN Stats & Info ‏@ESPNStatsInfo3h
According to @numberFire, Spurs had 1-in-200 chance (0.5 %) to come back and beat Warriors when Spurs were down 16 points with 4:00 to play

RJ Bell ‏@RJinVegas3h
392-0. The record, before last night, of #NBA playoff teams with a 16+ point lead at the 4 minute mark [via @EliasSports]



Puts into perspective how unbelievable last night was.

Hot Curry is served.

Catchy

Harlemanu shake

"The Midnight Madness Game?"

"The Impossible Comeback?"

"Breakfast for Manu?"

"Manu Gets His Breakfast?"

"The TOSBs vs. The Young but Inexperienced Studs?" (more of a series title, actually)



... Just throwing those out there for contemplation. :lol

"Mama there goes that lead" was a thread title last night :lmao

The Screaming Lady game. That'll be the name.

How about, "The Never Been Done"

The Bold Bald BackBreaking

"The 4 minute Robbery"

Act 6, Scream 3!

"The Stomach Flu Game"
"The Golden Comeback"

Or you could always go with "Duncan's Diarrhea Game."

Yeah what was the name of Gary Neal's buzzer beater in Game 5 against the Grizz?

Midnight Miracle sounds fitting, what with the Warriors portrayed as a Cinderella story of sorts...

If it was on the road I would go with the Golden State Escape... But I'm all for the midnight miracle

The Manu Trolljob

18-2

I like "The Breakfast Game".

Especially since most of us couldn't get to sleep by that time.

The Curry and the Fury

Because of Pop's postgame comments, I'll go with "The Breakfast Game", although I do like "The Screaming Lady Game" as well. :lol

"The Breakfast Game" is a little more memorable. We already have a "something something miracle" game.

Playoff teams that have led by 16 or more points with 4mins remaining were 392-0. Now it's 392-1. My vote is for "Historic Comeback Game".

The Midnight Special (Comeback took place entirely after midnight on the east coast at least)

i was going to say the Furious Flurry.....but I thought of something else I liked better.
