This is what Pop did by pulling Duncan twice in the last minute. He deprived him of eternal bragging rights, and turned it into eternal shame. All with Tim sitting on the sideline watching it. A public beheading of Pop would not provide enough revenge.
At the end of the day, us fans can take comfort in the fact it wasn't us who shamed the Spurs. And even if the Spurs won, fans don't really have "bragging rights" since they weren't out there on the court doing anything.
If Manu is the type of person not comforted by material success, this game will haunt him for the rest of his days if the Spurs lose the series.
I've seen my fair share of collapses and that one pulled off by the Spurs tops them all.
Surely it can't top the collapse caused by Timothy McVeigh in 1995.
I've been a spoiled Spurs fan all my life tbh, if this is the end and it ends with no championship it'll really put to the test how much I actually enjoy the NBA. Weird feeling.
I would go with The Man from Another Place and post backwards riddles.
Being a mav fan I can empathetically understand such feelings tbh. life is cruel and you must learn to get inured to it one day or another
I think the Game 6 choking bonanza pretty much prepared me if the Spurs lose in Game 7. Even if the team loses, I won't really consider the Heat as the better team. Lucky and talented? Yes. Better team? No way.
That makes it even worse.
Knowing you let one go to the inferior team.
The Spurs are lucky they got hot as it is. Danny Green having the series of his life. Time for the Spurs to come back to earth where the superior Heat will put a beatdown.
Objectively speaking, I do think the Spurs are the better team, since Wade's injury has really affected the Heat's offense for the worst. But that makes this loss all the more ing worse and should make Heat fans feel all the more proud that their team showed the mettle and heart to charge back from 13 down and then never give up when everything looked hopeless with 28 seconds left (much like the Lakers beating the '02 Kings, who were the "better team").The Spurs are lucky they got hot as it is. Danny Green having the series of his life. Time for the Spurs to come back to earth where the superior Heat will put a beatdown.
The Spurs might be the better team over a large sample size, but they don't deserve the le and the Heat do. Who's the "better team" is largely irrelevant.
If you're a Heat fan and not troll, props. It's your team's time.
Bragging rights are on the line for Spurs fans and Mavs fans. If the Spurs win, Spurs fans will be ing over the fact that their team eliminated Superfriends in the Finals. If the Spurs lose, Mavs nation will still be able to claim that their team is the last team to eliminate the Heat in the playoffs and the only team to do so in the Finals.
Jacob, you pulling for heat tomorrow?
Not really. I mean as a Mavs fan, you can't root for either of these teams. You are programmed to despise both of them. The hate is deeper for the Heat because of Wade's fest with the FT line in 2006 and the fact the Heat stole Dirk and the Mavs' first championship. Until 6 game last night, Spurs fans had never seen their team choke in the Finals. It's a terrible thing to experience. Mavs nation will still have bragging rights over the Spurs when it comes to the Heat because the Mavs didn't have to go to game 7. I'm say that if the Spurs win that is. If the Spurs lose, then they are basically the NBA's version of the 2007-2013 New England Patriots.
choking a game = yes
but choking a series? no
spurs were never favored in the playoffs, no matter how you wanna look at who they beat or what the RS was
cause without a top RS you wont get a playoff spot in the west...
Never favored in the playoffs? You serious? Even some of the bozos on BSPN picked the Spurs to beat the Grizzlies in the WCF and the Heat in the Finals.
I don't actually hate either team though. I don't like the spurs but they're a respectable rival, the same goes for Miami. Spurs have been a rival to us since the beginning of time while the feud with Miami was only initiated in the 06' finals if i remember correct, and we already got compensated one in 11. If I were the God and had the power to decide the result of this series, I'd pick Miami and I believe 90% basketball fans of the world would make the same choice in my position tbh
Eternal Shame it is...greynames will comeback with "buh-buh-but we swept you!"...who ing cares? Sweeps happen every year, and you didn't even get the satisfaction of doing it to Kobe--which is what you all desperately wanted. You basically went to the bar and ordered an O'Douls, congratulations to you.
6, howevuh, is FOREVER

^I can't think of another fanbase who deserved a "6" more than the Spurs base. You'd become overbearing & insufferable as a base. I was at my wit's end with ya's to be perfectly candid. You needed to be taken down a peg or two, introduced to calamity and with it the attendant humility. Your base is lot more fun to be around now.
Merry Christmas, Shad, Cubby has forgiven you.
Cubby, please forgive me too
Though I can hardly agree with you that the Spurs have the most insufferable fanbase, because some other fan bases (like the Lockets fans) are far worse. It's fair to say the Spurs base houses the tiest fans on THIS website, too many bandwagoners and trolls registered as spurs fans. I think that is flatly normal since it is a spurs message board. ST is just too small a sample size to verify such a grand proposition imho.
