you know what i think? i think you feel the same only trying to deny it and cute it a little bit...
and just so you know i'm the least emo guy in the world, i'm the most ordinary, just facing the true, the hard true, cause i'm sensitive and sincere humen... you on the other hand seems like an sexual, are you?

No I am not going to go overboard like you over a game and say life is over and it sucks now. You sound like your life is now ruined and no good can come from here on out. You are the least EMO guy in the world? Yeah I can tell. sexual? LOL yeah that makes sense, you sound like a dealing with your emotions, are you? I don't see how I said anything I said makes me sound , all I basically said is you need to get a life or get ahold of yourself because you sound like a troll or just flat out pathetic if not and need a hobby or some real life experiences.

Life is out there man, enjoy it and don't dwell on a stupid game for the rest of your life. If you died tomorrow what would the game or the le mean? NOTHING! I suffered real losses in life and a game doesn't compare, period. NOW MAN THE Up and get over it already

[Sean Cagney]

It was a horrible decision but I understand why Pop did it. He was afraid that Tim wouldn't be able to get out to defend the 3. The ironic thing is that nobody got out to defend the 3 anyway AND they missed the rebound because he wasn't there.

YEP, nobody got out to defend the three and you put them out there for that! MAKES sense in theory but they failed to defend it. Instead lets leave Lebron open for two wide open looks.

It's a stretch to say someone who you don't really know has no life experience to put things into perspective.


Like you I have a life outside these forums. Your entire post basically says: life and sports have to be separated because one is no doubt more important to which I agree. That said, just like. 4 and Manu's foul, you never forget. Game 6 is worse than those. It's the worst type of loss a Spurs fan can endure.

Whats crazy is after 06 I have joked about those because we won les after those years and said man we had it bad those years and those losses were painful! What happens? THE UNTHINKABLE! THEY GO AND TOP BOTH WTF? I am seriously wondering if I would have rather them not make the finals than lose like that? It would have been alot less painful to lose in round two say then to make it there and have it and then have that happen. Spurs suffer some weird horrible losses, who the loses in .4 and 35 in 13 seconds and then loses a finals like this?

As people have said before .4 and the foul in '06 or even '08 noncall no longer hurt compared to game 6.

it still hurts.........

Sadly... I never thought the first two would get topped and they did.

[Budkin]

Alright. I've vented enough. Nothing really left to say. It's part of Spurs history now.

[Spurs7794]

Sadly... I never thought the first two would get topped and they did.

Its amazing...I was watching the 2011 World Series and I thought what happened to Texas in game 6 was the worst possible thing that could happen to a team and I thought, atleast it would never happen to the Spurs. Then it did and it made .4 feel like a championship victory in comparison.

Game 6 was brutal...a cruel cruel ending, heightened by the fact that the one guy who did EVERYTHING that game and in his career is now beating himself up for missing the chippy in game 7, a game that should never have been. Kills me inside and makes me not want to get invested next year.

Also, hearing Lebron say that his jumper in game 7 was his Jordan moment makes me want to gag. WHO SAYS THAT? You let other people say that ! If Lebron was being honest he should have said "That jumper in game 7 was my Michael Jordan moment. And my bumbling clown act at the end of game 6 was my Karl Malone moment. Two birds, one stone."

When I was watching the Tim Duncan post game conference and I heard Timmy take the blame, I said to myself "wow, there was no need for a Game 7. Not fair to blame yourself that way Timmy." I can't believe that Manu hasn't manned up take responsibility. There was no need for a Game 7 if Pop and Manu hadn't shat the bed. Manu thinks that his performance was "so-so' and people wonder why I don't like the man? He is nowhere near Timmy's level.

I am not getting into it like I did this year again, no way will I invest in it like that after this years run (So I say now). I feel the same way you do about Tim putting it all out there and then some and then blames himself for missing a shot in game 7 which never ever should have happened to begin with (Lets face it this is Pops fault). This is the worst sports loss we could have seen as fans, of course it had to come out and get us one last damn time before the run is about over.

Jordans shot was for the win, alot less pressure on Lebron to make the shot when up two and time not running out yet, him. Spurs should have won that one, let one get away and we fans will remember that. I hope they have one last run in them for a shot at the le, father time will catch up though and the Spurs will fall off (Just a matter of which year). If not a of a run highlighted by some great highs (MM Day Miracle and Horry's shot and Horry's miss 03) and some bad lows! I guess you get there enough and are so high up so many years thats the price you pay as a fan.

Manu played flat out horrible most of the finals, but POP should have realized that and been like the old POP and took him out and screamed at him and made him sit like he did to Tony etc. during their runs! What happened to that POP there who would do that? I wonder.

No I am not going to go overboard like you over a game and say life is over and it sucks now. You sound like your life is now ruined and no good can come from here on out. You are the least EMO guy in the world? Yeah I can tell. sexual? LOL yeah that makes sense, you sound like a dealing with your emotions, are you?

i'm not afraid to show my emotions and being honest, call it ing if you want... you seems to be trying hard to play it too cool, you are very banal and with phony act, and yeah you probably gay...
you are purposely ignore what i said and what i explained? i tell you that i'm ed up badly, this disappointment killed me and burned me totally, it doesn't have relevance if i had real life or not, after what happened i'm just not interest in this world and life, i can't be excited from any thing no more as before i was very live person with big spirit and soul, person who know how to find magic in all, see how beautiful the world is even in the smallest and marginal things, person who even though went through a lot of pains in his life, always know how to find somehow some sweet in those also...
you see, this game was so important to me, i needed it so much, don't know how it go to this, before i didn't imaging it becoming like this, but it does. it comes to a point that i was being on the verge of getting the ultimate, biggest joy and tranquility, somthing that it's like heaven, feeling that very faw people in the history had a chance to get, i touched it, i smelled it, but then come this heartbreak, i fall very hard... how can you be interest in life after what i experience, you just missed rare and only opportunity to be on top of the world for at least the next 20 years, i can't look at this world with feel, will, and hope anymore, goodbye!

Another thing that sucked was starting at 58 sec mark of Game 6 on 2 consecutive TOs by LeBron, Spurs decided to run the court after recovering the ball, there was no need to, you had the lead, Heat had to foul, try to take time off the clock.

They could have ran off about 3-4 more secs in those plays.

Pop should have thought about putting Diaw on Lebron and/or Miller, has enough foot speed on switches (which is why he made the move to sub out Tim) and have Duncan on Bosh in those final seconds.

Lol. I had forgot about that. Tbh, Pop really the bed. So did Manu, but like everyone said, why pull Duncan out but overplay Manu so much. Pop looked like a confused drunk out there, was sad to watch. Like I said on here after the series was over, I wish Duncan could take over as a coach in crunch time. Pop and Manu are too past their prime.

It was on POP, period. I won't forget this as a fan. I know legendary coach and HOF and 4 rings etc., but the most recent one is the most recent right now and stings like crazy and we all know POP is to blame there. I wonder what happened to POP the last few years? He used to sit your ass and yell at you if you turned it over one time or so, now he lets them play more and continue to do it? This is not POP.

Pop has obviously mellowed with age, but it doesn't mean he still isn't the best coach in the NBA. No one is immune to mistakes, it's part of being human in case you didn't know. Do you never make mistakes, big or small?

He is never called out or admits to his mistakes though, just his way! He won't address it and say I was wrong there so he just defends his decision and says well I did it before. Most coaches would say I messed up and maybe could have done stuff different. This is not about me making mistakes though here, thats a different day lol. I would admit to them, no doubt.

He did mellow with age, I miss the old fiery one who would sit your ass down and point to the bench. That POP had FIRE! This one as you said mellowed some for better or worse.

This is exactly what Manu does. If Manu & Pop would live up to their mistakes, if they would man up and admit that they ed up, then many of us who like to criticize those two would STFU. There would be less "complaining and whining" as many of you like to say.

I prefer the mellower Pop, he makes fewer mistakes IMHO.

He usually does admit his mistakes. He is famous for "get over yourself", or are you not aware of what that means? It's ok, if you don't, many don't fully understand what that means.

I don't know I liked the FIERY POP who would sit you when you are turning it over and playing bad and make you think, this mellow one is not my fave version of him (To each their own though). I guess it's because in the 00's I grew onto the Spurs and thats my best memories of him and the team. He is older now though so all that yelling might not be good for him lol.

The biggest problem is his questionable player rotations and inability to make adjustments in crucial moments during the playoffs. Last year against OKC, he made similar mistakes. Now this year, we all know the mistake he made in Game 6.

Just as you said, the old FIERY Pop would sit a player down if he made mistakes. Pop refused to yank Manu out of the game in Game 6 despite how terrible he was playing. I miss the old Pop. Best of all, I miss those days where Pop used to be a defensive genius and we played half court basketball with Tim Duncan in his prime.

Tom Thib reminds me a lot of the old Pop.
