2013 NBA Finals, Game 5: Spurs vs. Heat - June 16 @ 7 PM CT

[timtonymanu]

LeBron, Wade, and Bosh are still locked in. The Spurs have to keep hitting back.

[Juggity]

This game is too damn close

[Budkin]

Refs not happy with how things were going

[spurspokesman]

thank you

[HarlemHeat37]

Miami fans have been complaining about refs all series, too..

Both fanbases are stupid, tbh..this series has been officiated pretty evenly, tbh, which has been the sentiment from most neutral observers..

[Jenks]

Shut the up Shane Battier.

[loveforthegame]

Mark the time. We got another call.

[Juggity]

Shane with the terrible play

[spurspokesman]

we need another run

[Budkin]

Bout time we got a call

[BatManu20]

[HI-FI]

Youre a fuking dumbass

[RuffnReadyOzStyle]

Huge flop by Manu.

[Kidd K]

First half analysis:

Heat have sucked the entire first half and only got on a run on the back of about a dozen whistles in a short span of time.

Sadly, while the Spurs are thoroughly outplaying them, the refs have artificially kept the game from being the blowout it would ahve been had they not interjected. This sets them up for artificially making the game even closer in the 3rd.

[Juggity]

Thank you Manu for showing up tonight.

Prove us all wrong

[Jenks]

This is the problem with big early leads. The other team cuts it a little, the crowd gets nervous and quiet.

Same thing happened to Memphis in game 3 of last series. The worst thing for them was getting the big early lead.

[BatManu20]

Wade is unreal

The refs want it close, but as was the case in the last three games, the losing team is giving a big middle finger to the referees by tanking it. Hopefully, it will be Miami's turn to give the birdie to Stern.

[Juggity]

All right, get the ball to neal for the last shot

[Kidd K]

Why do they let Wade dribble within 10-12 feet uncontested? That allows him to easily hit leaners and fadeaways and at that short range.

Pop needs to address that in the 2nd half. You can't let him get that close.

[ffadicted]

neutral observers..

If you weren't already sure gents.... lol

[Budkin]

Pissed we blew that lead.

[Spursnlego]

Battier shoved Neal at the end of that play...
