We lost the game (6) over a single point. Score one and no overtime.
Game over. Spurs win.
Throw in overtime and it is by three, but a single point would have made that academic.

Our defense got worn down making up for his garbage play. It is a good thing his teammates kept the ball away from him as much as they did or we might have lost by twenty. Turnovers hurt. Even when the other team is stopped they cost you points and points are what you need to win. Pretty simple.
Not by you, sparky, that's for Damned sure.
Eight possessions, nine points for Miami. We lose over a single point in regulation forcing overtime to lose by three. Eight. A potential 24 points for our team when we just needed one.

you're 0-3
Oh, now you're in denial too?
So sorry to hear that.
Remember pride comes before a great fall.
You may as well give up on this idiot troll, cd021, he is not only ignorant but also completely delusional.
No need to play that what if game.
We had 5 minutes of overtime and an even score to start OT. Not sure why you bring that 1 point up. When Leonard was the who could have came up with that point.
I made this same point to him and others recently and all I got were accusations of being a Kawhi hater and a Manu .
These people are in total denial and refuse to see reason even when the truth knocks them on the head!
In fact we have all picked every whole in their arguments, bible and sports and gastronomy, yet they persist in their idiocy. Either they are trolling or are total morons in denial!
You're right. Its like trying to have an intelligent conversation with a wall. Then again he probably the type who thinks when people he argues stop arguing & starts to ignore him, that he's won.
It was worth a try.
True. But I doubt he sees it this way. Isn't that calling trolling when they refuse to see reason and fall back on slanderous juvenile remarks?
Common sense just ain't that common.
Still, nice to see someone else check the clowns and trolls
Yeah, glad I'm not the only one picking holes in their insane arguments. This is something that chump usually does.Common sense just ain't that common.

I wonder where he is now, probably having a good laugh at these nincompoop trolls and our efforts to educate them to the truth and Light.
I usually don't pull my punches when it comes to narrow minded ignoramuses like this.
at least 90% of the vitriolic hate on manu comes from posters that joined in 2012/2013. They talk about manu being washed up for 5 years, not worth his contract, bla bla bla. I'm pretty sure its simply a matter that they didnt follow the team before, or joined the forum/made the account to troll.
that said, despite 2-3 solid and even above average games in comparison to the rest of his 12-13 season, manu played a terrible finals and deserves heaps of criticism. However, considering his role on the team throughout the season, its pretty unfair to pin the loss on him. IMO Splitter deserves the biggest criticism, and aside from some grumbling during the series he didnt/doesnt get much. He was an important part of our team all year and in the finals he couldnt even stay on the court he was so bad. He had a favorable match up and wasnt able to capitalize. All year manu's staple offense was to feed splitter but the heat trapped manu and forced a lot of TO. And when manu DID manage to get it to splitter, it was almost always a block, miss or TO. If anyone totally failed to meet expectations its splitter, but since he doesnt have a fanbase you cant antagonize anyone by blaming him...
I see your point of view and applaud your rationale.
I still maintain that at one time or another practically all of the Spurs made mistakes and contributed to the loss regardless of who did more or who did less.
It was a team effort and a team loss.
I am still very proud of them for making it that far because by all accounts they were not even supposed to be there. No one predicted them to make it all the way to the finals, and much less win it. The Heat were the consensus favorites all the way.
I do agree with you now, that they are here to troll and not contribute anything of a positive nature.
And if they are Spur fans, which I seriously doubt, then they are bandwagon ignorant ones, and this becomes more reasonable to assume when taken with their forum joining date.
My guess is that they are no better than a bunch of snot nosed punks out for a joy ride at our expense!

Leonard came up with a ton of points and rebounds, and held their best player in check quite well. Manu had eight turnovers and missed a FT to clinch it which would have made the Leonard miss understandable.
Without Leonard we lose by 15-20 easily.
That last point could have been Kawhi but he missed it. Cause and effect... no le for the team and fans. Kawhi can admit it...why can't you?
Splitter definitely wilted. No question, but Manu just made wild passes that even had Pop scratching his head.
Get a stop on the Heat and Manu jacks up a heat check three with only four seconds off the shot clock. Clang! Back to Miami for three. Yes!
So instead of Spurs swing plus four Miami goes up by three more. Ridiculous when trying to play a younger, more athletic team.
The criticism on Splitter is unwarranted. He didn't get enough chances to play and you can blame Pop for that. He would have adjusted if Pop would have let him play. He hit two crucial baskets in the fourth quarter of game 6.
The problem is that Splitter makes a mistake and gets yanked immediately. Meanwhile Manu can stagger around like a drunk, never adjusting a thing and Pop just lets him roll. Eight turnovers or ten....doesn't matter...
Old POP didn't allow that crap, he has lost it IMO. The old POP yanks you after one bad play and sits you down right away with a red face, this one has lost it somewhat and given players a long leash.
Thing about Manu's passes is they are basically turnovers that the other team didn't catch.
LOL!
Oh but haven't you heard? Due to advanced stats Manu's turnovers "didn't really hurt us."
????????????????
You know why he won't admit it, besides the fact he is a bandwagon fan and troll, he needs a scapegoat and Manu fits because he believes he is solely responsible which is totally irrational and ignorant. But then what can you expect from a troll?
Have people begun to notice that whenever someone posts about mistakes other Spurs made in the finals, that these idiots get mad and have to argue that it was either Pop, or Manu, or Tiago, but mainly Manu was the only one at fault?
This is totally preposterous and blindly ignorant of the facts. And even when shown clearly through statistics, they still won't acknowledge the obvious TRUTH.
That is perfect troll activity!
