I'm not going to give Lebron props, but as a consolation I won't talk **** about him tonight.

I'm really bummed.

I temporarily don't want to live right now. Until tomorrow when common sense and rational thinking comes in I just want to sit and rot my life away.

Except that was very awesome

Since DRose's injury, Heat have gone back 2 back titles. Rose still hasn't played a game.

This might be Duncan's last shot at a championship.

Ginobli had 0 turnovers in 3 quarters. He had 4 in the 4th quarter.

LBJ locks up the point guard, the one dimentional shooters can't get open.

Sounds like foreshadowing but, no, it just happened.

You're walking home, Manu. YOUR ASS IS WALKING HOME!

This game just reminded me of how much I miss my Bulls in the intensity of such a finals.

It might be awhile before we get another NBA Finals series like that one, especially with all the star power. Games 6 and 7 were as competitive as any Games 6 and 7 I can remember. Great stuff. And cool how both teams really respect each other so much.

Like I said the other day, this was a helluva series & it was a pleasure to watch "big boy' basketball being played.

Perhaps, but what about all of our anuses?

We better never - and mean never - hear how LeBron has to all do it by himself and how he's in need of some help. **** got more than enough help in the last two games.

The last trophy presentation for Stern is for the douchebags.

If Manu had 3 decent games in this series, Spurs could have won the series in 5 or 6 games. Manu was pitiful, I mean just garbage more often than not.

It's easy to bag on Green, but Manu is a more important player to the team, and he consistently stunk it up and just hurt the team practically every game with costly turnovers, over and over again.

All that being said, this is how a true Champion wins the crown, and a former Champion hands that crown over - in with the young, and out with the old. I'd say this was the last dance for the Spurs, and their last true chance at a Championship with their current core players and though it's sad that they didn't get it done, they did everything they could to get it done, but LeBron is obviously the new kid on the block and he got it done.

Give credit to the Miami Cavillers, lets just hope their run ends at 2 Championships.

Congrats Manu on the FMVP!!! You definitely earned it.

OldSchoolNoBull · Post #655 » by **OldSchoolNoBull** » Fri Jun 21, 2013 4:01 am

You know what? Let's take it easy on Manu. I doubt anyone is harder on Manu than Manu. I'm sure he'd be the first to admit his mistakes. He's gotta be heartbroken right now. Let's not pile on (as if he'll ever read any of this lol ).

There's a difference between kinda contesting and not even trying.

I agree. Wade played himself into great rhythm because he was left so open for so long. He was allowed to find his shot and that killed the Spurs in the end.

Story of the game imo. Lebron was given a cushion all freaking game and hit shots all freaking game, old ass Pops was too stubborn to make the adjustment and it cost them. Lebron was practically given wide open shots in the most crucial game of the season and even when he was hot they STILL gave him open shots, way to go Pops, you did what you could to help Miami win!

LeBron won the MVP starting in the 4th quarter of Game 6. But even when he's choking and bricking, he's still laying an amazing floor game and strong defense. He's just the best right now, no doubt.

Damn way to make me all depressed

That Rose point was like a stab in the heart.
