    Experienced, yes. But will their bodies allow them to do what they did in 2005? Probably not.
    I was speaking more to the mental toughness they showed in that series/game.

    If I'm Pop, I play him. He's a warrior. He had a bad game but he's still Manu.
    I agree. After Manu made the three to beat Golden State and his performance in Game 5, everyone was kissing his ass. He'll come back hot, it's not like Manu to shy away in a Game 7 championship game.

    agreed, Spurs, coach and a couple players, had to up disastrously for the Heat to eke out an OT win.

    Game 7 might end up being the single most important game in spurs history.

    Tim, I have no doubt will show up. Kawhi, no doubt. Tony and Manu, I have my doubts on, but I have to think they will sell their souls for a last chance at the LOB.

    I agree. I mean, what else are we going to do?

    Ah okay. Hopefully we'll have a Big Shot Rob player step up tomorrow. We'll need it.

    I wanted Manu on the bench in last quarter last night tbh, he was a non factor. I still cant figure why he's having miss handles

    It was 9 years ago, but Spurs were toast, no, fried, psychologically after 0.4.
    True, but mentally i believe .4 was a tougher situation to come back from.

    For one, Spurs had just lost 3 straight going into game 6. Its as if they couldn't beat them anymore. Two, mentally they knew that not only did they have to win game 6 in LA, but win a game 7 as well. And you were STILL only going on to the Western Conference Finals, it wasn't like it was NBA Finals at that point. There was still a lot of wins needed before we could have won it that year.

    This time, Spurs just need one more and the championship is theirs. Spurs have not lost 2 in a row with Duncan, Manu, Parker playing since December. There is no tomorrow after game 7, no matter what. Just 48 more minutes, THATS IT. They know they can play with Miami, they know they can beat Miami. They also know that what was probably a sleepless night last night, they have it in THEIR HANDS to be able to rewrite history and make Game 6 just another bump along the way to a Glorious Championship.

    Manu can redeem himself, Parker can redeem himself. And Duncan has been solid all year, I know he can do it again. If they aren't doubling him, he is going to Take advantage, it wasn't a matter of Duncan playing out of this world, it was Duncan just playing like Duncan.

    timvp, can this situation be compared to last year's game 6 in OKC? I recognize that this team knows that still pretty much can win if the play the same way than yesterday. And it's not that it was a stretch of good play, this teams has what it takes. Can they still recognize it's game seven and anyone can take it and win it all?

    Another advantage for us is that Heat may enter in 'after win' mode and cruise for most of the game.
    This doesn't feel the same. The Thunder were on fire and the Spurs had too many weak links. I didn't have much hope for Game 6 in OKC.

    Right now, I have hope for tomorrow.

    I think manu will bounce back for game 7. He has the heart of a champion. He knows he screwed up and cost the spurs the game.

    Also, how will Miami come out? They probably think they won the 'ship last night, they could come out coasting
    Possible, but not likely. Their big three didn't play 100% last night, and they managed to pull out the W. I expect both teams to be focused and ready to go.

    After giving it more thought last night, yes the spurs can hang with miami. They shot up some prayers and they were answered. Give Miami
    credit. They didn't fold with their season on the line and played to win. The spurs just played to survive.. That's not the way you put a team
    away. I just hope the old guys have enough in the tank to play the the game of their lives.. Luckily, this would be a team that could do it.
    Believe and GO SPURS GO!!

    Duncan went HAM in the first half... after that, he disappeared.

    He still has an epic game left in him.

    I'm going down with the ship and Manu but asking the Spurs to win Game 7 after losing the previous game in that fashion is asking for the biggest miracle in NBA, maybe sports, history tbh.

    This. He should get his last shot at redemption just like everybody else.

    Of course he is going to play and yes he should get a shot at redemption just like everybody else.

    The q is, if Manu is sucking will Pop make and adjustment or get worked by the opposing coach for the 6th straight year?

    It was more about the Spurs going away from him.

    As I said in my thread, maybe our chances are slim. But I'm done doubting this team. I know they'll bring it. Maybe it won't be enough, but I won't toss dirt on them until the fat is done singing...

    And after that, I'm going to thank them all.

    There is that slim chance that the Spurs get really angry about what happened last night and take it out on LeBron and Co. Let's hope they adopt that mindset.

    I also think the Spurs will come out with the right at ude and Ginobili should be much better. They don't need him to have a repeat performance of Game 5 but if he can replicate at least half of that, it will make the Spurs happy.

    Whether or not this will be enough to win Game 7 is beyond me. But if the Spurs respond with a championship performance physically and mentally that's all you can ask for as a Spurs fan.
