I think it was Kawhi that missed the free throw.
There is no revenge for choking up a le.
There is no revenge for TP coming up small as usual when the Spurs needed him the most.
There is no revenge for Manu turning the ball over, so horribly, that the Heat must have deposited 10m into his account for his contributions.
There is no revenge for Manu, the ultimate choker, missing a freebie that would have sealed it.
There is no revenge for Pop taking Duncan down out of the game, ON TWO STRAIGHT POSSESSIONS, when one defensive rebound would have sealed it.
There is no revenge for Green choking the latter half of the series.
There is no revenge for Pop coaching this Game 6 and 7 like it was just another Summer League Game.
There is no revenge for Pop having that waste of space, Matt Bonner, on the Spurs, and him getting actual playing time in the Finals against the Heat. Bonner probably gave up 100 points the entire series (that's probably being conservative), maybe hit a paltry 3 threes all series, and Game 6, a clinching game for the Spurs, went to overtime. Do the math.
There is no revenge for the fact that Duncan's Game 7 miss will haunt him forever, and yet he, at 37, was far and away the Finals MVP for the Spurs, and his teammates and let him down horribly.
There is no revenge for Pop being more demonstrative about kissing Lebron's ass, ie "congratulating him," than he was pushing his own Spurs to the finish line.
Doesn't matter if the Spurs beat the Heat by 100 in some useless regular season game. The Heat are winners when it mattered most. The Spurs and Pop, excluding Duncan, are losers, that fold at the first sign of adversity.
I think it was Kawhi that missed the free throw.
They both missed a freebie.
Kawhi is excused becuase he's young, and showed up big time.
Manu showed up big time too...
For the Heat.
A win tonight will help get homecourt which we need.
If it isn't a mission of revenge, then it's definitely a mission of redemption.
Kawhi's FT% dropped 16% from the regular to post season. People crushed Splitter for the same problem in the 10-11 post season and he gets a pass. Leonard literally cost us a le.
Ginobili did have a great game 5 and a good game 3 & 7
Haha, wow. I have no words for this.
Agreed, great post.
How many turnovers did that loser Gino average over the 7 game series? 10 seemingly? Ridiculous.
As fast as the Heat are, those are points in the bank for them. Gino turns the ball over even half as much, Spurs win in 6, this is fact.
And what do the Spurs do with Gino, after the choke of the decade performance? Give him a new contract for 7m a year of course!
Pop is the most overrated, "happy with losing in the post season coach" I have ever seen. Just because he rode TD's coattails to 4 les, doesn't make him a chessmaster.
Funny, Pop always says without Duncan, he'd be coaching JV.
He's right.

This is quite literally one of the worst and most spoiled takes I have ever read. Who are you? Show some respect you clown. Go watch Manu highlights from 2005, when the Spurs beat a juggernaut team that the Lakers couldn't take down. Chokers don't have 3 les. they don't have 1 le.
Agreed. This game is essentially meaningless. But I'd still like to win.
I wanted Green to get it...but I agree, there's no revenge, no matter the reasons.
Why are people so dead-set on the notion that we can't ever make up for last year no matter what happens this season. Let's say we ring this year. If you were to tell me in 2010 that we would go 1/2 in the finals in the next 4 years, once coming 28 seconds away from being a top 5 all time player in his prime, I'd take it in a heart beat and consider that a great run for the spurs. Winning this year would certainly erase a great deal of the pain from last year because, as I'm sure many of you feel, the real pain comes from it maybe being our best final shot at a 5th for Timmy and the organization. But if it were to happen this year, last year wouldn't seem nearly as heart breaking for me. Just ty luck that we made up for right away.
Die in a fire.
Spurs lose to good teams:Spurs suck no wins against top teams
Spurs beat the champs:
gnsf strikes again
Without Kawhi, the series doesn't even go to six games. He didn't "cost us" a le. In fact, it's because of him the spurs got as close as they did. His game 7 performance was incredible. Kept the spurs in the game right up to the end.
Let's enjoy this win tonight
He averaged 3.1 in that series...
Also 6 of his 8 turnovers occurred prior to the 4th quarter when the Spurs were outplaying Miami. He had only 2 in the final 17 minutes of the game.
Pop had a hand in the loss but isn't a bad coach by any stretch.
Even if the Spurs did ring this year, everyone sans TD would have blown a 2 peat.
Good win against the Heat Spurs, but there can be no revenge. The league isn't going to take Miami's rings and give them to the Spurs.
Thats true.I'll reword it, he enabled us to lose that game. His FT shooting as spoty at best and him clanking a FT that would have made it a 2 possession game certainly didn't help. He was beast mode in Game 6 and Especially Game 7. A SF grabbing 30 rebounds in 2 games is impressive.

POP HAD A HAND IN THE GAME 6 LOSS?
WHAT SPORT WERE YOU WATCHING?
Up 6, 28 secs left, Miami ball. All Pop had to do was FOUL, GIVE THEM TWO FREEBIES, AND THE SPURS HAVE THEIR 5TH BANNER HANGING FROM THE RAFTERS.
That is Basic Basketball 101.
Pop thought he was smart, and got cute.
Miami got the le.
Pop chocked more than ANY AND ALL PLAYERS ON THE TEAM, COMBINED.
You obviously don't understand the meaning of revenge. If someone kills a family member, and you kill them, you've gotten revenge, and no, your family member doesn't ever come back.
I look at it this way! NO it is not going to avenge the finals and make us feel better but it is about this year and HC and gaining confidence! I look as it as a positive for this year as I can see you do as well. Move on folks!
