Chris Bosh 0-5 0 pts 7 rbs
They have such a large margin for error its ridiculous.
But I am almost 100% certain that this will be their last title.

You and me both.
My girlfriend was actually weirded out the other day.
Came home from work, and there i was, sitting in the dark just thinking. Thinking about how the Spurs blew game 6.
Im taking her out for dinner this weekend to make up for it.

Which do you prefer:
1. LeBron wins 2013 championship and Hitler loses WW2
2. LeBron loses 2013 championship but Hitler wins WW2
Serious question.

It wasn't loyalty that forced him to stick with Manu. It was the fact that after LBJ locked up Parker, the Spurs needed another creator, since the one dimensional shooters couldn't get open.
Pretty obvious
Manu is just a turnover machine now Pops made some bonehead moves the last two games.

I didn't, he was eventually going to cool down. But then again, I didn't expect him to go 1-1999 in this game either.

Jordan never fully understood basketball. He had the lowest basketball IQ of any NBA "superstar" in history.

Would love to see us in the Finals next year.
I hope so.
We might beat Miami at some point in the regular season next year, but I have this feeling that it won't give me that feeling of happiness anymore. I'm tired of beating them in the regular season alone.
I'm still really happy that we ended their winning streak. It would have been unbearable if they had broken the record and won the title this year. People would be saying this is the greatest team ever.

Bron is great Pops played him well but Wade is done Father Time has caught him.

Danny Green was the worst player on the floor. Couldn't make a shot and kept giving Miami the ball. What a fluke. Reminds me of Korver in the ECF.

LeBron took over. He played like a champ. Like stars do in the clutch.

Yeah, after thinking about it long and hard, I think I might go with LeBron winning the championship.

Re: NBA Finals Thread - I Need A Miracle
Tough loss to swallow, but what was, could've should've been... wasn't, and that's that.
Sorry Leonard -- hope you have as talented a crew in the future to make up for that FT dud. Manu, hope you don't feel too bad, you had a great career. Duncan, don't sweat it, can't make them all.
Honestly, I'm shocked the game was close until the last minute. Seriously felt like Miami was on fire (Chalmers half-court bucket?) -- Lebron, Battier, Mario, Wade... all were feeling their stroke tonight. Stroking it hard... eh.. a little too hard..
Anyway, Green/Parker/Manu just weren't doing enough to help Duncan... Neal wasn't having a hot game... Splitter was very ineffective.. Diaw didn't play enough IMO... Duncan wasn't having a revelational game... As I said, the closeness of the game didn't make sense to me. If it wasn't for SAS's very strong defensive execution and rather smart pacing, regardless of how many turnovers and bricks they laid, it would've been a blowout. Props to Pops and the team for making Miami sweat.
