Spurs werent going to win this game, after what had happen in game 6.
And tells Kawhi/Bobo not to let LeBron shoot, but force him to drive, would it have helped or hurt our chances? It was a close game even though he went, what? 5-10 from beyond the arc? If we would have stopped letting him shoot, and he goes like 2-5, that's 9 less points.
Now, I know it's not that simple, and if LeBron drived, he probably would have kicked out to his shooters, but I'd feel better about them shooting than a hot LeBron.
Discuss.

That's what I thought going into game 7, but they played hard, and almost won. (If not for The Miss)

Mistakes were made. We lost. Move on.
Because I want to discuss game 7, it means I haven't moved on? If we won and I wanted to discuss game 7, it wouldn't be a problem would it?
Too many Spurs played poorly in Game 7. Was surprised it was as close as it was.
Battier murdered us.
I don't see the point. As others have said we lost the le after 6. If you must though we lost Game 7 because of Shane Battier, Spur killer.
I'm still stuck on the Miller shoeless 3 ball. It was fate man
Pop happened.
The rest is history.
Gary Neal
lol as soon as he shot it, I knew it was going in.
That half court shot by Chalmers at the end of the 3rd… we wouldn't have needed the Duncan lay-up if that didn't happen![]()
Game 6 felt like a WWE ppv event. I can't fathom what went inside Pops head the last 28 seconds left( I was screaming,"What the are you doing, NO!). Did Stern force Pop to take out Duncan in the biggest game in Spurs history? I had a feeling that the owners of the NBA, ESPN/ABC, Jews did not want the Spurs to win! Why? They're making Lebron into the next Jordan, loosing would of destroyed any credibility of being this era's goat, as he would of been 1-3 in the finals. The NBA would of been dead according to casual fans. I know Barkley and Shaq were praying that Duncan would not get his 5 ring. Did anybody else noticed also when the Spurs were creaming the heat with their ball movement and 3 point shooting throughout the series, the refs would call a barrage of bs calls to get the Heat back into the game. Heat are starting to get the "Lakers treatment"(2000 to 2004). Lakers are down, then all of sudden Lakers come back from down 20 due bs ref calls (ie Bibby's head fouling Kirby's elbow). NBA does stupid like that so people keep on watching and not change the channel.
this topic needed another thread
well if Gary wouldn't have been on the OTHER SIDE OF THE COURT while the man he's guarding ( mike miller ) is spoting up waiting for a wide open 3 pointer ....
smh
No need to discuss realities alternate to this one, and in this one you lost.
when i think of game seven, the only thing that comes to mind is the bunny and putback timmy missed in short succession. woulda tied.
heartbreaking.
the series was lost in game 6...if Pop subbed out Ginobili and kept the best player in franchise history off the bench for the last 2 defensive plays the Spurs win.
There was so much time after that. We still would have lost. No way we win in 7 on their floor.
Yeah, i still cant believe how they played lebron and dwade, treating em like rondo, so disrespectful in gm 7, lebron made em pay
Shattered when kawhi missed that 3, even more so when duncan missed that layup
not blaming timmy.
just saying that moment - and his reaction - were the only things that really stood out for me about 7.
It felt like the le was lost after Game 6. I still dont know how Game 7 was so close when alot of people played so horribly. And the strategy against LeBron doesnt mean a thing if Tim hits that game tying layup. If he makes that, things wouldve gotten very interesting....
what if what if what if..? forget about game 6, what happens, happens, it's just fate
I thought the same going into game 7. Game 6 was just so devastating a loss that even a veteran team like the Spurs would've still been impacted a bit.
I thought the team lost the le in game 6 and I still hold that opinion. A team just couldn't get any closer than 28.2 seconds...
Not really. It was just bad defense. Neal had a habit of doing that.
