Feeling much much worse now. At least '05 we were at home.
How does it compare today? Would have been devastating to lose two in a row at home (in 2005), and being such a dominant team that year.
Both very strong opponents in both cases. It's on their home court today, and I think that is the ultimate deterrent to victory tbh...

i dont really remember. after game 5 i knew it was ours.
Game 5 was worse for me that year, because I just had no clue if the Spurs were even gonna compete.
Like now, then I felt strangely confident. I think the Spurs hold the keys to victory in their own hands.
How did you feel when the Spurs got beat in game 6 and were down by 9 with 7 minutes to go in the 4th and the Piston D was impregnable all game. All I can remember was the look in Timmy's eyes after Pop called that timeout. At that point, I saw the Spurs coming back. But it did look bleak before then.
If Duncan and Co. have that same aggression tonight, the Spurs should pull this off.

This. I just plain believed we could get it done, even when it looked uphill.
I was more nervous in 2005, which I handled with copious amounts of alcohol. I was actually more confident of victory in 2005. As I've gotten older, losses just don't bother me as much, so I'm not as nervous. I am more excited this time around.
I had appropriate fear. I think this year a lot of us have inappropriate fear due to the game 6 heartbreak, the short turnaround, and Manu's horrific play. But I'm optimistic Manu will have a good game today. Not based on any evidence. Just a hunch.
I wasn't that nervous for the Detroit Game 7 because I knew the Spurs were a way better team than the Pistons. For this Game 7 I'm ting bricks because I have no idea which team is better.
I don't remember tbh i was 10
I was fairly confident in 2005, mainly because of home court advantage for that game 7.
I was just as nervous then as I am now.
Im a bit nervous, but in my mind I know we can win. Never in this series I truly thought we would lose this series. I have a great feeling about tonight.
This year is more nerve wrecking to me. Spurs had home court vs. Pistons and the Spurs blew them out of the building the first two games.
The only way a Spurs fan can say he/she wasn't nervous in 2005 is if they are misremembering, tbh. I was probably more nervous then because that was a championship the Spurs were supposed to win. They NEEDED to win that one, tbh.
I'm so f***ng nervous right now
I don't remember but every minute that goes by i feel more nervous for tonights game. I can't breathe lol
And the Spurs got blown the next two. This series is very comparable to the Pistons series, which was the one I was one edge about, especially after game 4. But just like the Spurs winning game 5 in a come from behind victory in game 5 only to get man handle in game 6, I can see the Spurs returning the favor to the Heat tonight.
History has shown that the team that had to make a dramatic comeback to win a game in a series usually loses the next game. The Heat have lost 2 straight this way this year (Pacers) and the Spurs lost to the Warriors in similar fashion. Anger usually seems to fuel the team that lost.
Same happen in '05 when Pistons lost to the Spurs in game 5 and completely dominated in Game 6 on the Spurs homecourt. I hope history takes precedent in this game as well.
Less than I am now. Being at home is a lot better than being on the road after blowing a game that would've led to a championship.
I still trust the entire team though, except Manu. So as long as he doesn't it up too much and our guys aren't too nervous and tense that they miss their jumpshots all night. . .then it's not a super crazy possibility we can win.
I wasn't nervous in 2005 -- and I'm not misremembering that -- and I'm strangely calm right now. In 2005, I remember thinking all day long that no matter what happened in the game itself, I was going to see one of the rarest things in NBA history and that it was pretty freakin' cool to have that opportunity. Today, I still feel the same way; whatever happens tonight, the Spurs etch another mark in the history of the game playing in only the 17th winner-take-all-the-marbles game. Only 12 franchises in league history have ever had that opportunity and only 7 have had the chance to do it twice.
I've had the chance now to see my team win 4 les and compete for a 5th. I was disappointed that they didn't close the deal in Game 6, but life goes on. Because they've played well for the vast majority of this series (including an overwhelming amount of the time they've played in Miami) they have another chance to get it done. Disappointment can be crushing; it can also be an extremely good motivator.
If they win, they win and I'll be thrilled.
If they lose, they lose -- but at least they will have played mostly fantastic basketball over the course of an extremely compelling Finals against a star-laden team that was expected to win.
Go Spurs Go.

I was extremely nervous. Because after game 5, I thought we should have owned game 6...not the case.
I remember not thinking home court really mattered that much for game 7 because Detroit was a good team that wouldn't be affected by playing on the road.
Robert Horry played out of his mind that game...I just remember being at a bar in LA and everyone was speechless. You could hear a rat pissing on cotton
I don't remember much, but I know it wasnt as nervous as today.
2005 I have never screamed my guts out so much in my life. A great night! Tonight the Spurs do it again!
