We're playing against a great team.

LeBron was on fire during the 3rd, and it helped them a lot. That's why they've been NBA champs 2 times. He's the best player in the world, and tonight he proved it. He made a lot of big shots for them.

I trust in Manu, I've been playing with him a long time. And when he has the ball, he usually does good things. It happens... You have to look at the entire game and not just one move. Now we lost home court and will have to win in Miami. We have 2 opportunities to achieve it. It will be tough but we did it last year, we won game 1 there.

We'll try to leave with this mindset. You have to win road games to win a title. Everybody knows it. We're disappointed and frustrated because we want to play better. We haven't been playing our best basket-ball so far. But those are big games. It's the Finals. You have the 2 best teams in the worlds. We have to defend better and we have to stay positive. We have to win in Miami."

Thanks for that.

Have to say, in this post and in his press conference yesterday Tony seemed a bit down. More than usual. Hope the rib isn't bothering him. Maybe he just thinks the Heat are really good.

good to see him standing up for Manu…Nice to see that the players stand up for each other. Wish the fans did more of that.

fans have no relationship to each other, we're a bunch of hungry dogs fighting over scraps

they're together sharing struggles, pain, and triumph

Sorry I was inarticulate. What I meant was that the fans on this forum trash the players on our team rather than standing up for them. Didn't mean to imply that fans would be likely to stand up for each other.

Lol... I hardly see him "standing by" turnobili, I actually see him using Manu as the scapegoat somehow..... it's more like " my missed FTs=we didn't lose because of that ..... Manu with the ball on his hands=that's why we lost"

in French or in English he is saying Miami did not win because we missed FTs or on a play at the end but because Miami is a great team. Somebody obviously asked him about a Manu miss late in the game and he is saying I trust Manu and one play is not equal at Manu contribution during the whole game.

Thats how i read it, its odd the way he addressed it too, its almost like he "stuck up" for him because he perceived everyone blaming the loss on Manu, its an interesting quote, as it did not need to be said

Is this an interview or a blog post? I was under the impression Tony wrote this on his own as reaction

Wow. I really didn't read it that way at all. He was clearly responding to something someone had said about Manu. I read french and that is the way it seemed to me, honestly.

Sorry I had already responded when I saw this. Didn't intend to be redundant.

If he's answering questions, then it's a different story..... but I was also under the impression it was a blog, not an interview.

"We played great basket ball and moved the ball very well. But we won this game in defense. Now, we have 1 last win to get. We have to stay focused. We don't feel anything special after this win, we try to stay in our bubble. None forgot what happened last year. We know it's not over. On my side, I had more opportunities compared to the previous games, I made some shots and I'm happy with my performance. And once again we had a big Kawhi Leonard. He stayed on the same level he had during game 3".
