Yep, this is tough.
-Well, what is there to say? I'm numb right now. It's an hour-plus after the game and I'm numb. There aren't words to describe what we just witnessed as Spurs fans. The 0.4 game was bad. The 2006 Mavs Game 7 was bad. This is like every Spurs loss in the history of my life wrapped into one bad.
-I never did let myself get too excited. Even with the ball up by 4 with 20-something seconds left, I wasn't comfortable. I've seen too much as a Spurs fan to get excited in that moment. In a way, thank God for 0.4 and that Mavs series or else going from celebrating a championship to losing probably would have been enough to break a man. Hopefully none of you out there experienced the rollercoaster.
-Fvck it. I still love this team. Thank you. No matter what happens in Game 7, thank you.
-Thank you to Tim Duncan for playing his azz off in that first half. That was almost enough to get the fifth ring. You did your part, bro.
-I can't even start the blame game. I can't. It's pointless at this moment.
-Boris Diaw thanks for the big time play.
-Kawhi Leonard you played your azz off as well.
-TP and Manu … the effort was there.
-Tiago you hit some big shots.
-Neal you hit a big shot.
-Green you played hard.
-I can't even.
-Wow.
-.....
-Wow.
-.................................
Yep, this is tough.
Define "effort" with regards to Manu. Timvp - serious question. Do you feel as I do, that if the Spurs go onto lose the series, that this is one of those history altering moments that forever alters the trust that has endured for so many years? Will the players/fans look at Manu the same? Will they tune Pop out?
We are all sad. I won't even sleep or work efficiently for days.
But like you I'm proud of this team.
And there's a game Thursday. It's not over yet.
Pop choked big time not having Duncan out there to grab the board on those last Heat possessions. We had them stopped and didn't secure the GW boards. Pretty simple.
Tough game, lets hope the Spurs have the energy to come out in game 7.
I was there in the arena looking at the trophys and the rings by the entrance everyone goin crazy high fiving and saying "#5" but I never got my hopes too high what a emotional letdown
Damn....loser talk from TIMVP too....
I worry most about Leonard. He's only 21. To miss a free throw that would have iced a championship. That's a hard thing for a young man to take. He's got get over it. For Thursday. For next season. For the rest of his life. He's a good guy, doesn't need to be haunted so young. Let us stupid fans be haunted for him.
For Manu, there are championships to balance this out. There still may be another on Thursday...
Can you guys reassure me we have a shot at winning Thursday and if we do, how do we do it? I'm sooooo dejected and hearing what the team had to say postgame didn't make me feel any better about our chances. So depressing, guys.
I give you vets props. Idk how you all can take all of these emotional roller coasters year after year. I'm done. That Duncan performance was one for the ages though. Thanks Timmy.
I dunno, 06 was definitely worse since the Spurs had a legitimate shot at winning the championship. Can't say the same for this year's team. The Spurs are somehow defying the odds at this point so there is no need to be too upset... except at Ginobili.
Remember what happened to Nick Anderson of the Magic when he missed all those free throws in the Finals? He was never the same after that...I hope the same fate doesn't happen to Kawhi.
If Manu played in a blue and white jersey tonight, we probably win this game. He stopped caring about the Spurs after 2011 imo.
Spurs needed Green to do more than just hard play. They needed him to make shots. Going 1-5 in 40+ minutes is not good enough. Not even close.
Our Coach Pop pulled a Frank Vogel & benched Tim Duncan!! ONE of those rebounds woulda won the GODDAMN game!!
THANK YOU!!!
Uh, this team was a good bounce, a made free throw, literally anything away from winning a championship.
You can't get closer to a championship and not win it than what we just witnessed.
Feel the same way! Just an unbelievable game to watch. Regardless this team is too proud to just come back for game 7 and lose by 20 like many on this site are stating. Win or lose, this team played their hearts out when no one gave them a shot! It'll be tough to get over this with less than 48 hours for game seven, but I will still BELIEVE ! Go Spurs Go
I'm not sure about that manu bleeds black n silver
must be blind to not see Pop choked this game away. brutal...
We have the greatest organization in the league. Win or loss Thursday. I don't give a what Miami does to us. We are the true team.
Whi dealt with losing his father at a young age. He'll get over this.
You're ing re ed. Manu just sucks right now, he shouldn't be getting so much offensive responsabilities plain and simple.
