Can't sleep. This is .

Dreams of Duncan's 5th, after a fantastic come-back season...is this how it ends?

[davidbowie]

when i got home i made it 20 seconds into sportscenter and had to turn it off

[EIC]

Can't imagine what it will be like to see replays of this game in the future. I'm just now getting to the point that replays of the 0:04 don't hurt that much. But that was a 6.0 on the Richter. This was a 9.0. That is going to sting for a long, long time.

Yes...

And it's all Pop's fault...

I just took a Xanax. This is physically painful in the manner of heartbreak.

I need to buy like 20 bars off of you, for real.

[TheGoldStandard]

Yo timvp, I turned in my Spurs card at your request for hating on Manu recently..but after tonight's game would it be ok If I could request it back???

[blkroadrunners]

I work nights, but this lose still has me. Can't even think straight.

[alamo50]

I went straight to work at 6:30AM.

[dg7md]

I'll be up for a long, long time.

I wonder how many suicides there'll be by morning

Shiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiii, I can't even blame a Spurs fan after that loss, tbh.

Countless terrible coaching decisions.
Not the least of them is playing Manu way too many ing minutes. We were up by at least 10 when Manu came in and pissed it away. It was so obvious that Miami was licking their chops when Manu was in and trapping him so that he would make a ridiculous pass that they could pick off. What's that, Pop? Parker was tired? WHO GIVES A FLYING !!! There is no tomorrow; it's a must win game! YOU HAVE LESS THAN A 1% CHANCE OF WINNING A GAME 7 IN MIAMI, you dumb POS.
Don't even get me started on pulling Duncan not once, but twice in critical situations. You know they are going to get one good look at the shot. You know this because, if you are half a coach, you will have told your guys NOT TO ING FOUL. Your best hope is that they brick the shot and you get the rebound. , if only we had a consensus first ing ballot Hall of Famer at power forward on our team who's, like, really ing good at rebounds. Oh, wait! We do, and his ing name is Tim Duncan. Too bad he's RIDING THE ING PINE with the game on the line.
The Spurs were killing it with Parker, Green, Leonard, Diaw, and Duncan, and Pop blows up the lineup down the stretch to put in Turnobili, Tiago "Stone Hand, Pussy Feet" Splitter, and Gary Neal. What the !!! Ride your goddamn ponies into the ground. THERE IS NO ING GAME 7 YOU STUPID PIECE OF !!!
My only solace is that Pop will regret his bull coaching for the remainder of his life. And he deserves to.

Is there anyone in here, that DIDN'T know that MANU was going to have a game after his first 3 or 4 or 5 turnovers? It's only been his MO all season...1 good game, 2 bad games, etc.
Manu had his good game in game 5. He came out like in this game, and everyone knew how it would go.
Yet POP gave him even MORE minutes this game. IMHO, it's not even that close without Manu's turnovers. And that is totally on POP, for increasing his minutes in perhaps the worst game of MANU's career.

Manu TO's: 8 Rest of Spurs TO's: 5.

I was texting my buddy, Manu would come in and kill the lead. I was yelling at the TV for Timmy to come in and rebound, before Lebron's 3. Pop, you were a ing moron tonight. And no ,that is not second guessing or any of that . Pop ed up royally tonight. kkk.

Manu doesn't just play bad. He gives the other teams too many points with his turnovers. Then...after all the turnover , he STILL hasn't learned his lesson and gives Bosh and and1.

Look at the lineup that was out there, who was going to score? Certainly not weak ass splitter and certainly not Turnover happy Manu. I don't think Tim went to Pop and said, "Pop it's game 6, the trophy is waiting for us but I need to rest", You're running on adrenaline if not just hyped for the moment. Tony resting even though he didn't carry the load for the first half? That's just ty coaching.. You have a 10 point lead and you go for the throat you don't ease off and hope to maintain a lead.. , you call a time out as if that was going to help and you keep the same ty players out there who had no momentum, no play called or anything to get them going.. nothing for Green or Neal?
Being 37 has nothing to do with being in the moment, 1 game and up by 10 and the crowd not into it..

Pop is just too damn hardheaded for his own good. AndI'm getting damn tired of his childish, bull interviews where he tries to be cute. Get over yourself, Pop. Tonight was his worst coaching game I can remember. Some can say Manu cost us the game tonight but, Pop should have yanked his ass when all of us saw Manu no longer had it. He gave all he had in game 5 and at his age and with all his ailments it didn't take an Einstein to see he just didn't have it tonight.
Every NBA player alive wanted us to kick Lebron's ass and instead he kicked Pop in the balls. Maybe Pop got into a bad batch of Jamaican Rum thinking it was wine. He stunk the place up tonight.

Why no TO 20 secs before the end of OT?Amateur coaching by Pop.

8 second chance points for Heat in 44 minutes of Tim on the floor.
6 second chance points in last 30 seconds of regulation with Tim spectating from the bench.

Riding Manu too long and not having Duncan out there to rebound on the Ray Allen 3 were big time fails. Keeping Duncan on the bench was perhaps the biggest fail, as Indiana made the same mistake with Hibbert in the ECF. Teams just keep letting Miami off the hook.

This should help you get some sleep.

Spurs losses over the past few years, especially in the playoffs, didn't bother me too much anymore.

But this one hurts.

Especially when you know, deep down, the Spurs outplayed them and deserved to win.

[TrainOfThought5]

all i see is Ginobili jump pass after jump pass... throwin it out of bounds, into the hands of defenders, etc. etc.

Man, that cuts...why?

[wtgspurs]

Seriously, Im 21 and when the Spurs lose, i cant even get it up to make love to my girl. I hope we win on Thursday or she's gonna have some tough days ahead of her.

[TheyCallMePro]

I couldn't watch any of the post game stuff. I saw that Manu said it was a devastating loss that would be hard to recover from. Great. Just what we all needed to hear Manu. And after your nightmare of a game too.

They WERE bringing out the ing stage. They had the yellow tape around the court and EVERYTHING. Even Dwayne ing Wade noticed it and mentioned it post game (okay I watched a little while wiping away tears)

I wanted this so ing bad. Seriously, people I've been close to have ing died and this loss hurts worse. I probably wont be able to speak for 2 days. I lost my voice screaming when Manu turned it over all those times and when Allen hit that 3 to tie it.

I literally wont sleep tonight. I'm too ing depressed. And it physically hurts imagining losing game 7 and this series when we were so close in game 6.

If we lose in game 7. Then this loss is never, EVER going to leave me. I'll remember it everyday for the rest of my life. Christ.

Don't want to eat, sleep or work. My boss will fire me soon.

The sign of a true fan. Stay strong, bro.

[BatManu20]

^Indeed. Be strong.

[LarryDavid]

Ehhh...if they would have won most of yall would be up celebrating anyways tbh.

[poop]

Its 3am and I can't sleep either. The magnitude of this loss keeps getting bigger. Just want to curl up and die
