yes, game 6 and 7 was decided by the heat's athleticism and youth... roflmao
Where are you coming from?Did you really watch the finals last year? Cos I really doubt you did.
I watched every single minute of it.
Did you?
I doubt it.
If you had been listening, and watching, you would have heard the announcers even commenting on it.
In game 7 the same energy level was not there, or did you miss that?

allen saved any "legacy" he supposedly has
It was Wade coming back in that screwed up their spacing that led to those turnovers. Had Spo left Wade/Bosh out, it probably never comes down to Allen's shot.
Also if Pop had protected the lead with TP/Duncan it never would have came down to that shot. I still can't get what Pop was thinking. It's possibly the last game of the season. There's no need to rest players.
exactly, i think we were up 8-10 going into the 4th and pop throws the bench out there ans kills all the momentum
smfh.... wade MADE le to the ball?
I don't like how that fourth quarter went down, for obvious reasons, especially with some of Pop's decision making. But it's possible he figured refs would drag the game out anyways, so better prepare the main guys for the end. Pop may not have been thinking that, but I know I was, i've seen too many games where one team suddenly gets hooked up and is back in it, so maybe Pop figured if he went for the jugular at the beginning of the fourth, the refs would still start calling ticky tack bs to extend things anyways.
Just goes to show, when facing a roided up juggernaut like the Heat, the margin of error is very slim.
he did the same in Game7, Tim and Tony on the bench for a few minutes to start 4th qtr. I guess he was resting them for training camp.
and instead of either of the two, Ray Allen silences everyone
is that a sentence?
the nba paid the spurs to sit duncan/dive the le so they could sell in shoes. it's sad but true.
only explanation for pops sub there at the end. stern/silver must've dangled the spurs a 2-peat in 14 and 15 to go out on as the trade off.
Heh...it's as good an explanation as any...
This is the way the Finals should be played out. Having three games in a row in one place is stupid. Some of us were alive when the Finals were in this format back in the 80's.
I agree.
shouldve changed the format years ago, or never changed at all
I don't care what the commentators said. All I care about is how the game was played. We were 28 seconds away from being the NBA champions, until everyone contributed for that disastrous loss. Kawhi, Manu, Tony, Tim and Pop all made mistakes which basically costed us the game. Nothing to take away from LBJ 3, Bosh's rebound and Ray Allen's game tying 3, but we slowly gave them chance for a comeback. We still fought through OT, but was eventually denied. We lost by ONLY 3 in OT, if you can't remember that.
For game 7, it was one of the greatest championship deciding game ever. Lead changes was just back and forth. Final 2 minutes of the game and we were only down by 2, 88-90. Duncan tried a hook but missed, then he was able to tip it in but missed it again. Pretty sure you remember this part since IF you really are a Spurs fan, you knew how heartbreaking it is for your future HoF to miss that tip in. From there on, the current best player on the planet sealed the game with a jumper and 2 free throws, that's 4 straight points plus a made free throw by Wade.
Now tell me, how can you base everything on energy level and commentators when you're team is not playing on their home court? 30 teams play 82 regular games for nothing KID, it's meant for deciding games like this and it eventually paid off for Miami big time! Not to add the momentum they have going in to game 7.
Watch it again buddy. You might have been watching the 2007 NBA Finals where our team doesn't need energy level against a young LBJ.
I agree my friend. But ask most people who aren't biased and aren't a spurs fan and they will claim it was lebrons will to win that saved that game....
Yeah before Wade came back he kept them in the game.
Homecourt in a 2-2-1-1-1 sequence is really only important in games 5 and 7.
True champions always find a way to win a road game if it's absolutely necessary.
We got #5. Dealwiddit.
Considering a series with the Heat or Pacers would be guaranteed to go at least 5, I'd say that's pretty important.
btw the Spurs did not run out of gas last year. They sucked from game 1 even though they won that game. If Gary and Danny don't go cheat mode on the Heat, Spurs probably lose in 5.
lol how is that cheat mode? More like bad defense by Miami
This is the old school Finals scheduling and the way it should be.
