I am still devastated and can't shake it

[50 cent]

I couldn't sleep last night and I have been down in the dumps all day today. I have no confidence that we can comeback and win Game 7 after that. I seriously feel as though a close family member died.

[NASpurs]

It's a ing basketball game...

[Darius McCrary]

I feel ya.

[Creation88]

You should schedule an appointment with your obgyn and get that checked out.

Countless terrible coaching decisions.
Not the least of them is playing Manu way too many ing minutes. We were up by at least 10 when Manu came in and pissed it away. It was so obvious that Miami was licking their chops when Manu was in and trapping him so that he would make a ridiculous pass that they could pick off. What's that, Pop? Parker was tired? WHO GIVES A FLYING !!! There is no tomorrow; it's a must win game! YOU HAVE LESS THAN A 1% CHANCE OF WINNING A GAME 7 IN MIAMI, you dumb POS.
Don't even get me started on pulling Duncan not once, but twice in critical situations. You know they are going to get one good look at the shot. You know this because, if you are half a coach, you will have told your guys NOT TO ING FOUL. Your best hope is that they brick the shot and you get the rebound. , if only we had a consensus first ing ballot Hall of Famer at power forward on our team who's, like, really ing good at rebounds. Oh, wait! We do, and his ing name is Tim Duncan. Too bad he's RIDING THE ING PINE with the game on the line.
The Spurs were killing it with Parker, Green, Leonard, Diaw, and Duncan, and Pop blows up the lineup down the stretch to put in Turnobili, Tiago "Stone Hand, Pussy Feet" Splitter, and Gary Neal. What the !!! Ride your goddamn ponies into the ground. THERE IS NO ING GAME 7 YOU STUPID PIECE OF !!!
My only solace is that Pop will regret his bull coaching for the remainder of his life. And he deserves to.

Is there anyone in here, that DIDN'T know that MANU was going to have a game after his first 3 or 4 or 5 turnovers? It's only been his MO all season...1 good game, 2 bad games, etc.
Manu had his good game in game 5. He came out like in this game, and everyone knew how it would go.
Yet POP gave him even MORE minutes this game. IMHO, it's not even that close without Manu's turnovers. And that is totally on POP, for increasing his minutes in perhaps the worst game of MANU's career.

Manu TO's: 8 Rest of Spurs TO's: 5.

I was texting my buddy, Manu would come in and kill the lead. I was yelling at the TV for Timmy to come in and rebound, before Lebron's 3. Pop, you were a ing moron tonight. And no ,that is not second guessing or any of that . Pop ed up royally tonight. kkk.

Manu doesn't just play bad. He gives the other teams too many points with his turnovers. Then...after all the turnover , he STILL hasn't learned his lesson and gives Bosh and and1.

Look at the lineup that was out there, who was going to score? Certainly not weak ass splitter and certainly not Turnover happy Manu. I don't think Tim went to Pop and said, "Pop it's game 6, the trophy is waiting for us but I need to rest", You're running on adrenaline if not just hyped for the moment. Tony resting even though he didn't carry the load for the first half? That's just ty coaching.. You have a 10 point lead and you go for the throat you don't ease off and hope to maintain a lead.. , you call a time out as if that was going to help and you keep the same ty players out there who had no momentum, no play called or anything to get them going.. nothing for Green or Neal?
Being 37 has nothing to do with being in the moment, 1 game and up by 10 and the crowd not into it..

Pop is just too damn hardheaded for his own good. AndI'm getting damn tired of his childish, bull interviews where he tries to be cute. Get over yourself, Pop. Tonight was his worst coaching game I can remember. Some can say Manu cost us the game tonight but, Pop should have yanked his ass when all of us saw Manu no longer had it. He gave all he had in game 5 and at his age and with all his ailments it didn't take an Einstein to see he just didn't have it tonight.
Every NBA player alive wanted us to kick Lebron's ass and instead he kicked Pop in the balls. Maybe Pop got into a bad batch of Jamaican Rum thinking it was wine. He stunk the place up tonight.

Why no TO 20 secs before the end of OT?Amateur coaching by Pop.

8 second chance points for Heat in 44 minutes of Tim on the floor.
6 second chance points in last 30 seconds of regulation with Tim spectating from the bench.

Riding Manu too long and not having Duncan out there to rebound on the Ray Allen 3 were big time fails. Keeping Duncan on the bench was perhaps the biggest fail, as Indiana made the same mistake with Hibbert in the ECF. Teams just keep letting Miami off the hook.

This should ease your pain. I think the Spurs have a slight chance depending on who the refs are for Game 7. If the refs turn out to be Bill Kennedy and Scott Foster then the Spurs are pretty fuc*ed. Best-case scenario is Danny Crawford and random crew that do not include those two clowns I mentioned.

I'm right there with you but I'm feeling better about Game 7. I think the trend continues and we win. The angrier team has played better and won after every loss.

[LakerHater]

I know that in feelin!!

[HemisfairArena]

I slept just fine last night...I'm sure the alcohol had a little to do with it as well. But I still had to get up and go to work and pay bills and put food on the table and no basketball game is gonna change that. No reason to get depressed or be in the dumps. I feel just as bad when I dont hit the lottery. I cuss for awhile then I'm over it.

[kemak]

I felt so guilty for celebrating early and then feeling the consequences 2 plays later. I feel that it's not supposed to be handed to them, they gotta earn it and I really hope they do.

[Keepin' it real]

It's a ing basketball game...

That's nice.

[Spurs and Mavs fan]

I feel devastated too, but I'm still clinging to a bit of hope that Game 7 might actually be won by the Spurs.......

Ditto.

I've already jumped off the cliff. I might find myself tomorrow trying to climb back up depending on how Game 7 goes. You'll can call me a bandwagon or cliff diver but believe me, I've witnessed everything the OP said. That is why I didn't jump the gun when the Spurs were up by 5 points with 28 seconds to go. Unfortunately my little brother barely became a Spurs fan like three years so he inevitably got his heart broken after declaring the Spurs "Champions" with 28 seconds to go. I warned him but he didn't listen. He got pissed at me because I told him that he jinx the Spurs. He said " you... it's not my fault, blame this on Pop and Manu." I just said sure.

[NASpurs]

That's nice.

What's the point of your comment?

[Slippy]

yah woke up in the middle of the night. First thought was damn they gave it away. Then had to remind myself there's a game 7. Series not over. Spurs are showing a lot of fight . This is probably their last chance with their core and i doubt they thinking like their fans are.

If anything, their confidence should still be high, that they have miami's measure and are lucky to be in this.

[easjer]

Well, I decided to be hopeful. Because why not? They will win or lose either way and it will be elation or devastation either way. They lost a game they were supposed to lose. It was so close. SO close and they nearly pulled it out, but they didn't. They still have a chance to win. It's been an awesome year and an amazing series, and for as much as they shouldn't win game 7, this is the team that could. So what the ? I'll ride the wagon off the cliff if it means I get to cheer my guys on the down.

[TXstbobcat]

I was shocked and devastated last night also. I woke up this morning not feeling much better. A co-worker of mine who isn't even a spurs fan came over to my desk today and said "game 7 will be all spurs".

[Knoxxx]

Focus on the 4 rings we have and view this as gravy. Our team has pushed Miami to the limit without home court and against reffing bias and still has a chance to boot.

No matter what happens I still love these guys and we still have 80% of our rings and mad respect for this effort against the mighty LeBron.

I will never bow down to "King James." He will always be a loser to me. Nothing will ever change that.


Guys, we've won this series. Even if we don't win game 7, we're the true champions. The Spurs play basketball the right way, and organize a team the right way. The Miami Heat can win all the les they want, I quite frankly don't give a . They will never have my respect. Any neither will their pathetic fans.

[JohnnySixString]

It's a ing basketball game...

Yep...one that NONE of us are actually playing in,lol. I don't remember getting a championship ring in the mail the last 4 times they won. Closest I've gotten to the trophies is behind their glass display case. It sucks if they lose, but if your personal life goes to because an overpaid sports team didn't fulfill your basketball fantasy, you need to reevaulate your relationship with them - they don't feel as bad for US ,lol.

[tony77]

what pisses me off is that game will be talked about for years to come on national tv during future finals. just like the NBA loves to bring up that damn Shot made by Fisher some years back

[spurraider21]

right there with you man. if they win tomorrow it will all go away. thats what i keep telling myself

[thunderup]

I was devastated for yall. I can't imagine the feeling of being a Spurs fan. My thoughts are with yall atm.
