I like the raging-aging frat boy with his button-down-shirt @ 28 seconds.

Congrats, Spur fan! Those types of games and emotional rollercosters go a long way for a true fan. Win or lose, that has got to be worth it. I got chills watching the fans reactions to those shots.
At least for one night.
Novak clears out Pop
It'll all be for nothing if the Spurs don't come out with some heart and win Game 6.
Anyone else have a different call for the Neal 3. Was it only the Memphis announcers doing the game....There's gotta be a radio feed too....A great moment like that doesn't need dead announcing.
Great sig.

Guess the Spurs found a reserve with testicles to make the late clutch shot.
Maybe Neal can share some of his testicular for ude with Bonner, looks like he has some extra.
yes hes my fav...looks like a guy who hasnt gotten any in years and just came
i cant stop watching the video its fantastic. I went crazy and this will be a moment i will always remember no matter the outcome
DaSean Butler. Miami drafted him in the second round with the 42nd pick. He would have been guaranteed early-mid first round if he hadn't gotten hurt. Spurs picked him up after Heat waived him. Here's the OTL video on him: http://youtu.be/sSqgXgEVmQQOh....My.....Goodness! The Neal McCoy!
Thanks for that, it was epic. Sean was speechless.
This guy better get a nice fat bonus for this season's heroics.
*btw - does anyone know who the guy beside James Anderson is?
Oh, right, right. That's his name. Thanks. The video doesn't work in my country though(Canada), whats the le?
Hey, I noticed you had a link to the game on another thread. Do you think you can pass the links to me? I haven't been able to watch ANY of the live playoff games and only been following through Spurs internet companion. Thanks in advance.

Wow, thanks man.
Now quick! Delete or edit your post. I don't want you to get into trouble for posting links.
One of the most epic shots in Spurs history.
It personified this spurs' season, of fighting against the odds and the pundits and the expectations to be something truly special.
It personified the Tim Duncan era, of sticking with it to the very end, and somehow coming out on top even in the face of incredible adversity.
It personified the entire Spurs franchise and what it stands for: an undrafted rookie with a questionable past no one has even heard of is given a chance no one dreamed - and succeeds with two men trying to stop him.
And the best part?
All it does is extend what could be the most memorable Spurs season ever.
If the Spurs somehow end up winning it all this year, we will all look back on that shot as the turning point of the playoffs for the Spurs.
Gotta win Game 6 first, though.
THXGreat sig.
Has someone done this yet?
So if Neal misses that shot, he's the dumbest er on the planet?
What does Neal have in terms of balls that JR Smith doesn't have? How fine is the line between having ice water in your veins and just poor shot selection?
He said Pop called the play for him.
Neal has a brain and uses it. Smith would most likely have just jacked it up there once the ball was in his hands. His athletic ability does allow him to shoot over most players anyways. Most of the time it leads to bad shot selection.
Neal on the other hand is much smaller and not as athletically gifted and has to be able to think quickly and react even faster to get a decent shot off. The shot he took was a great look. He saw the help defender, saw that Battier was commited elsewhere, saw that Mayo was closing out too hard and just manuevered to force Mayo to overshoot. Added bonus (not sure if Neal intended it, if he did, he is a bad ass) was that it prevented Allen a great athlete from getting into the play because Mayo was in his way.
Neal's a smart guy, when he moved to the right he got away from Mayo who had another teammate to his right prepared to setup a trap to contest the shot.....guarantee Smith tries to shoot over both defenders or tries to dribble to the same side and once he got trapped he'd try for a headfake in hopes one of the Grizz would bail him out by leaving their feet allowing him to get contact and get to the line. He tried the same thing at the end of Game 3 and failed when Harden refused to leave his feet and just played him straight up and then he tried to cry for a foul.

According to Ginobili, Pop drew the play for Neal.
The Rocky theme is so perfect here. I will be revisiting this highlight for years.
And Pop. In his press conference, they directly ask him whether Neal was the first option on that play, and he says, "Yes."
Later, an NBA.com reporter asks him basically the same question, only whether it was supposed to go to Manu and Neal decided to take it, and Pop is a real asshole to him and even says he'll have to keep wondering.
