No words. Along with no chance for the spurs on Thursday. Never thought I'd see the day the coach and players would pull something the Suns would do.
Totally read my mind

Up 7 with 2 minutes is not stealing a game.They hung tough all game and flat out beat them.
Today they flat out choked,
Epic meltdown coming
it's so sad watching the post game conferences, you can tell these guys were crying it out
Plenty of words!!
Its too bad the Spurs dont cry as much as the Heat do!
when Tim plays great we always lose and some of our guys choke...
This is incredibly depressing...to come back from this loss will be a monstrous task for the Spurs
LMFAO @ Spurs fans blaming refs. We had the game with a chance to ice when Kawhi missed the FT. I am not mad at him though, he played like a beast tonight. Made big plays when they were needed, played solid D, and rebounded. Best of all, protected the ball when he had it and was patient.
Don't even get me started on that piece of trash Manu. I hope we see his last game as a Spur on Thursday, sad as that is to say. 8 turnovers? These were not close turnovers. Might as well have thrown on a Heat jersey and got credit for the assists.
The guy CANNOT complete the signature lead pass that he used to be known for. GARBAGE performance after a great game in Game 5.
They look dejected and hurt.. They're done.
C'mon man, have some dignity. SMH gnsf.
Seeing LeBron laugh in the post game conference making me want to vomit.
How the am I supposed to sleep tonight?
Yup. Last time they looked like this was .04. And we all know what happened in game 6 in LA. The same thing I expect to happen on Thursday...hang around, maybe even into the 4th, but the Heat will pull away.
I don't fault the missed FTs. They were both half way in, but rimmed out. I would take 3 of 4 from Manu in that position any day of the week. The problem I have is why take out Duncan? He is the best rebounder for both teams. Pop says it's not a stop until you get a board. You know they are shooting threes so why not leave him in their for his blocking and rebounding ability. You gotta give Bosh credit for that block on TP. 9/10 times Parker gets that off. I don't think the Spurs chocked like those idiots on ESPN said. Chocking is turning the ball over carelessly and missing two free throws. Many people in the league would miss one FT in that position. I think Parker or Duncan could have missed one if he got to the line instead of Leonard. All we needed was that board off the 1st James miss. Three Spurs in the area and it bounces of their fingers into the Heat's hand and another 3 attempt by James. This was a game for the ages. Even if the Spurs lose the series their legacy should be cemented as a great team. The Heat should have lost 3 games the entire playoffs. They should be beating everyone by ten points a game. They have the best player in the NBA, two All-Stars, great role-players in Haslam, Battier, Miller...and they added the most prolific 3 pt shooter in NBA history. Yet the Spurs was a rebound away from beating them on their court. I'm proud of the team. Manu should have gotten to the line for that foal, but that's a tough whistle to blow at the end of the finals game (still should have been blown). I wish the refs could have reviewed it. Horrible play by Manu. Pull up for a jumper and win it. I wish Danny did a pump fake on Bosh. Pissed at Pop full pulling Duncan. I honestly think he would have gotten one of those two boards sealing the win.
I'm sick and depressed beyond belief. I literally was about to taste champagne in honor of my boys, then suddenly....nothing.
A 4-pt lead, with 33 secs left, needing one rebound off a missed Miami 3-ball to secure the le. I blame Pop for the bone-headed decision to sit Duncan - not once but twice in crucial late game situations. Each possesion giving the Heat new life and resulting in two 3-point shots.
Ill-advised passes, sloppy ball-handling and careless mistakes leading to a career-high in turnovers, while stealing possessions from his own team, and simultaneously giving life to the opposition - I blame Manu for that. I also blame Pop again for his unabashed blind faith in forcing minutes onto a player who was clearly struggling.
Forgetting all about open shooters on the perimeter, while selfishly forcing his way to hoop, when he was clearly tired. I blame Parker for that.
After sitting numb for more than an hour, I finally got up enough nerve to watch the post-game interviews. Parker looked as though he had been crying. Manu looked and admitted that the team is devastated and Pop looked simply disgusted. I never thought I'd experience a Spurs playoff loss that would surpass the hurt experienced by that infamous, bone-headed "and-1" foul by Manu on Dirk in the 2006 playoffs or Derek Fisher's "0.4" shot in the 2004 playoffs, but here it is. This is the NBA Finals.
Duncan demonstrated the will of a lion, Kawai put forth a courageous effort on both ends and Parker shot poorly, but made a couple of heroic plays in the 4th, to put the Spurs in a position to win. This team gave Miami their best punch, yet it all fell apart in the late stages of the 4th quarter. Given their level of obvious disappointment and devastation, how in the does this team bounce back?
This felt like game 7 2006 against the Mavs. But unlike then, the Spurs have a chance to right all the wrongs.
Believe.
One freethrow or one rebound away...
I am in shock. The team has 48 hours to think about this. Time to rise up.
my heart is broken...
I honestly think we are the better team, and thats what makes me sad.
Spurs will win game 7. Trust in the Spurs. No one to blame but this happened because it was not for them yet. They need to prove more and they'll show it this thursday. :'h
The loss really killed me. It was the one game all postseason where I could say the refs actually benefitted the Spurs on the whole throughout the game against a real team. It was Tim Duncan's monster, legendary performance which should've been the great capper on his GOAT PF career. It was our 5th championship. It was "now the media can shut their stupid ing mouths" moment we've all been waiting for.
Blown by Pop pulling a Vogel and yanking Timmy on the two most important defensive possessions of the game and by Ginobili morphing into Turnobili.
I'm still gonna watch game 7 obviously, but that loss feels like they just blew their best chance at winning the le. Now everyone's going to be tight as tomorrow and the Heat are going to be excited that they're one game away. We're also not going to have a game reffed like that again, allowing us to actually play physical defense on their big 3 and not be whistled for it half the time like is usually the case on us. Timmy probably can't do what he did again. Green went cold too, Ginobili's back to his bed ting ways already. Pop micromanaged his way into a loss.
.
One game left. Come on guys. . .make us proud. Everything prior to now. . .man it. Win tomorrow and that's all that will matter.
This is about as bad as it gets for me as a Spurs fan, imo. Thank god I was able to sleep yesterday...this summer is going to be . I don't think I'll ever get over the last game. What a blown ing opportunity.
pop sat him some in overtime
It's as simple as this, win the game! There's no looking back or worrying about what might have been. Just go out there and perform. Two evenly matched teams in a game seven for the NBA le. Just get it done or give congratulations to the Heat for getting it done! That simple.
