its 5 against 1. epic? no way.
If the Spurs win this game tonight, what is your opinion of how this series/ le will be viewed. We know the stats on road game 7's. We know the Vegas odds. We saw how game 6 unfolded.
I am of the opinion that if the Spurs win it will be the greatest le in modern day NBA history, perhaps even all of NBA history.
Think about that. Settle into this moment and reflect on the magnitude of this game for both the Spurs & NBA history.
It should not be easy; le runs never are. But it should be fun.

Damn DPG, the nerves were high enough during this work day!
Considering your question, I can't think of another Game 7 or determining game that would have a higher magnitude than this. We are obviously biased considering it's our team out there, but man does this have history written all over it if we win.
If we lose, well - Lebron will continue to be called King, and the Spurs will continue to be called old. This is so so so much bigger for the Spurs than it is for the Heat.
Bring on the game!
losing game 6 only added more chips to the NBA le legacy pot. Had the spurs won in 5 or 6, excuses would have been made for the heat. Now all excuses are gone and legacy is truly on the line for both teams.
I pumped!!

I don't see how this one can be anything but the greatest le the Spurs have accomplished in the eyes of most NBA fans. That being said, I think 05 was the best le ever for the Spurs and even if they win tonight I'll still think that. I think that 05 Pistons team is one of the most underrated teams ever.
Spurs winning Finals Game7 on the road will be historic
Best Finals since 2010 if you're talking about rivalry and a Game 7. I know, I know, Spurs and Heat don't have much rivalry but I think it's about the legacies of Lebron vs Duncan, if Duncan wins, Lebron will never sniff top 10 all-time, not to even mention ever being ranked over Duncan, unless he pulls off some huge playoff runs and wins 5 more les, if Lebron wins, Duncan will have a Finals loss, the Spurs will have a Finals loss and Lebron will continue to better his legacy.
It's about the original big 3 beating the "manufactured" (pun intended) big 3, it's about the small market beating the most talked about team with the huge bandwagon. Sending those gots crying back to their locker rooms would be the sweetest feeling.
This would blow any Spurs le out of the water tbh.
With the way they lost Game 6, I'm inclined to agree that this would be the best le in NBA History when taking into account all external factors.
I agree 100%. Spurs by 20.
tbh .... winning won't change that either.
I'm not the guy that has fear before big games (as a player), but right now I'm not able to move.
Actually I want to tell everyone what will happen if we lose: This will still have been a great season. Timvp will write a great post that reminds us of when he wrote "reaching the WCF was the seasons goal and everything more is a great plus"...some posters will throw any player or Pop under the bus for something that happened in game 7 or give them more sh*** for game 6. Others will get emotionally and tell us how they love the team. The press will give us a good amount of props and come october we will ask ourself if we might have another such run in us, comming to the conclusion, that we would be happy to have a chance to get to the finals.
And to borrow some words of our opponents: Heat and Spurs fans will go back to their regularly miserable life.
I said it in another thread and I will repeat it here...this will be the greatest show of mental for ude in NBA Finals history if they win. There has never been a team be so close to a le in Game 6, watched it slip away through a series of cir stances(some in their control and some out of it) in the final seconds of regulation, then come back in Game 7 to win the le on the road. Off the top of my head...I can't think of any playoff series at any time where that has happened.
Even taking away what happened in game 6, just look at road game 7's finals records for the away team.
I think it will be remembered the same way the Celtics' Game 7 victory in The Forum in 1969 is.
This will be the best Championship of theirs. Spurs are playing the Miami Heat team with 3 hall of famers in their prime. Spurs played Detroit when the big three were in their prime. Duncan is 37 years old. He is playing very well though, and this would be the one he cherishes the most. Manu at age 35, has played terrible and despite that, Spurs are in game 7. Parker hasnt played his best, but considering the hamstring injury and the fact that he is up against the best perimeter defense in the league, he has played well. 2013 will be remembered as a David vs. Goliath finals tbh.

RT @calebjsaenz: Jacob Riis also wrote this: "Some defeats are only installments to victory."
The magnitude of this game could be huge or relatively small, depending on whether the Heat win big, small, or Spurs are victorious.
Chris Bosh ain't getting into any Hall of Fame and Ray Allen is well past his prime. 2 hall of famers, imo.
It was fun until the finish of game 6.
But if the Spurs lose it will be the most demoralizing loss in NBA history considering how Game 6 ended.
I don't even want to think about that. I'm going to be constantly vomiting throughout the night.
If there is a God, the Spurs will win tonight!
I was talking about Ray Allen. He is past his prime, but he has been clutch his whole career, and will show up more than most players on that Heat team. The dude lives for this. Bosh is still part of their big three and has made some clutch put backs and blocks in this series. He is still relevant to their team, the big three.
Spurs will be known as chokers if they don't win tonight.
