So Parker out of the game again. Didn't work in game 6 and not looking like it will work here. What is Pop doing?

Pop is a great coach, but he has gotten out coached almost all series

I'm so pissed. I gotta watch Stern give Lebron the MVP trophy too.

LBJ is the best player since Shaq. Gotta give it to him. But the Spurs gave this thing away. Had Game 6 in the bag and game 7 was very winnable. Can't let the Heat's scrubs like Battier and Chalmers go off on you.

Exactly, the defense scheme at times was frustrating as heck. Well, happy Sweet Lew got his ring.

This, even though Shard didn't play much I'm really happy that he was able to get a ring.

Great title by the Heat, really underrated defense by Bosh and LBJ all series long and especially the last two games.

I wouldn't say the Spurs threw away Gm 6 because the score was always rather close actually, but it was almost as gutwrenching as their title loss tonight. It was a crazy good series though because I always personally thought the Heat would handily win the title in like 4-6 games most of the year (after the Lakers bombed their first 10 games or so) mainly because of the Ray Allen effect (having that kind of player behind the Heat Big 3, and the Birdman add later on was also big), and it was in the end a Allen 3 and a Allen 2 pointer somewhere around the final minute in Gm 6 that was the clutchest moment of the whole series for the Heat. Maybe I'm overreacting, but Kawhi played so well, I'd love if the Magic called the Spurs in a few days and see if they can trade anything outside of Harris, Vucevic for Kawhi.

god damn it. Heat earned that game. Spurs lost it when Pop decided to leave Danny-useless-Green in the game, and Manu sealed it when he started playing like a high schooler in the final minutes.

i hate the Heat. i hate LeBron. i wish the entire Spurs franchise refused to shake his hand.

**** the heat. They won game seven fair and square bit still game 6 was BS. Yes I know the spurs missed crunch time free throws but I still want the refs to call the **** game the same for both teams! Manu and Green got fouled late in game 6 but no call late in the game where if it was wade and James they would have been quick to blow the whistle if it was them on those plays SMH! **** the Heat and David Stern good riddance.

Can't believe some idiots at the bar were trashing Bosh just because he didn't put up big scoring numbers (or maybe they were just doing it because this is Toronto LOL).

Whatever it is, he played some solid defense on Duncan. He played great in my book.

A team full of star palyers...

7 games in conference finals, and another 7 games in NBA finals...

A championship that was a result of a last second game tier 3 pointer at the 6th game...

If I was the owner of the NBA, I would not wish for a better play-off entertainment...

Too good to be true...

That right there was an EPIC series of two great teams. One of the best series of the past decade for sure. Glad the Heat won, but feel really bad about the Spurs. Gooo Heat!
