Game 7 Pacers/down in Gm 7 Celtics/game 6 Spurs(Confidence?)

Sometimes it seems like lebron and the team doesnt want it as bad as they did last year

They need to get back to that dark place they would go to last year every time they lost to remind them about the 2011 feeling...

They were so hungry...the mock Larry O'Brian Trophy they had, LeBron's XVI mouth guard, etc. no doubt they were more hungry.

They need to get back to that dark place.

LeBron said before the finals "He's tired of losing. He remembered losing on the Cavs homecourt to the Spurs. He remembers the pain of losing to Dallas (again..on home court)

Game 6 (and hopefully game 7..) he needs to have that "over my dead body" attitude or that "About damn time" moment.

Celtics game 6 is still the low point for me. Heading into that game I was completely broken.

This game 6 or a possible game 7--I'm not even stressing. If we lose, it's not like losing to the Knicks, Celtics, Lakers whatever--the Spurs are an all-time great franchise, and they play with class, and have been insanely great. I hope we don't lose--but if we do, I don't think the world will end. I also don't really think Riley needs to blow this group up. I was thinking, maybe we're going to be like the Spurs where we win one every other year or something? Magic Johnson lost 4 finals. Getting to three finals is pretty amazing, and the one we've lost so far was due to insane 3 point shooting. If we lose this one, it's the same deal. You can't do much if the other team is going to be playing miraculously great, beyond all human reason, amazing.

That said. I think we'll win the series. We won 3 straight against the Thunder last year. And we play great in these situations. If we win game 6 we'll have the momentum and the homecourt in game 7 to finish them off.

Somebody want to bring up the factoid about the last time a team made it to the finals 4 years in a row? This is our chance, not next year.

Honestly agree here. I really don't see this imploding. Bosh already says he is a Heat for life. Wade wants to be too. Lebron is the only maybe, but if we show him we are a Spurs like franchise that will reload yearly, what would really be a better option without taking a huge pay cut given the new CBA. Plus I think we actually have draft picks next year, but some moves will have to happen.

even though I think we will lose I dont think we should lose. We are the better team, we have better players and I feel that with the right adjustments they cannot run with us.
