Imagine if it's 24 minutes of dominance. Spurs would be down 40.
He definitely will go HAM. If they swarm, that opens up Danny to let em fly again.What does if anything Tim have left in the tank? I think he emptied it all last night seeing the finish line of his 5th and final ring.. I just don't see him playing very well in game 7..

I don't see it. Manu for once is already talking defeat post game. Parker is obviously tired. Duncan rehire his knee.
If they win it'll be a miracle.
Will it be enough to win. We'll see...but I do think you will see a much better, controlled, on point effort from the Spurs...especially Manu and Tony. While I agree they were the better team last night, I have no idea how when Parker was 6-22 and Manu had 9 points and 8 turnovers with a -21. It was basically Tim Duncan, Kawai Leonard and duct tape. They were the better team without actually playing all that well. Sounds crazy, but that's what it looked like. The bounce back mentally will be tougher than the physical one. I will never count these guys out.
I take solace in knowing that the Pistons in 2005 were able to bounce back from that Horry dagger in Game 5 when it looked like they were going to take command of the series after Duncan was doing his best to lose that game. The world left them for dead, and all of us here on Spurstalk were making plans for the celebrations after Game 6. Pistons came into SA and on the Spurs to force that Game 7. I woke up at least 5 times last night and thought "God did that really just happen?" Feel really bad for the guys in Black, but not fouling Bosh on that offensive rebound with 5 seconds was inexcusable. I was sitting here on my ing couch screaming to foul him, so I'm not sure how nobody on the court thought the same
My brain is still grappling with the fact that there's still another game.
They're not capable of that though. They look so out of place for most of the game, which isn't what a championship team should look like.
Everyone saying what does Tim have left, he WILL show up tomorrow there's not a doubt in my mind
Spurs were down 9 in the 3rd Quarter of 2005 Game 7 against possibly the greatest defensive team ever. The Big 3 won't be affected by this loss the way most teams would be, they're too experienced.
Can you plz delete the game thread? Just read page 62 of it again and I swear it will make some Spurs fan commit suicide if we don't win game7!
It was 9 years ago, but Spurs were toast, no, fried, psychologically after 0.4.
I bet guys went back to the hotel and cried last night.. I wanted to cry...
The leader of the team's nickname in college was, Spock! Nuff said!!
Experienced, yes. But will their bodies allow them to do what they did in 2005? Probably not.
Wow that's a harsh assessment of Manu, timvp. I have to agree though. The question now is are we better with him or without him for game 7. As long as he is playing out there, Manu is Manu. He will continue to "do what he does".
Suck my got
This just took a lot of the sting away for me. That's a good point.
I agree. And I think it's because there's too many Stars on one team. When Wade and James are out there together, their play gets stagnant. Heroball gets played. But when it's Wade or James by himself, gets real.
Ooooo good one. Don't know how ill ever get over that.
My initial thought after a sleepless night is also the same. This loss hurts like . The sun is up, but it's still raining inside my world.
Folks keep talking about what a classic game it was - and certainly it was, but it doesn't ease the pain.
The only thing that will ease the pain is a victory in Game 7. Now how in the can this team get it done, is anybody's guess? I will say that in order to get it done, it's going to take a collective resolve, the likes of which will have to exceed that of any of the previous Spurs championship teams. As Pop always reminds his team, "it's not supposed to easy" and this one certainly will be the hardest ever one to get.
It is highly illogical to bench your Hall of Fame power forward, who already had 17 rebounds, in the final 30 seconds when you needed just one offensive rebound to put the game away. Highly illogical.
Also, how will Miami come out? They probably think they won the 'ship last night, they could come out coasting
If I'm Pop, I play him. He's a warrior. He had a bad game but he's still Manu.
timvp, can this situation be compared to last year's game 6 in OKC? I recognize that this team knows that still pretty much can win if the play the same way than yesterday. And it's not that it was a stretch of good play, this teams has what it takes. Can they still recognize it's game seven and anyone can take it and win it all?
Another advantage for us is that Heat may enter in 'after win' mode and cruise for most of the game.
