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.

For all we bag on Lebron, yeah hes got all the talent, but you can see his passion, love, and will to win for the game.

I just don't see that in Rose anymore

I get you are upset but come on - let's stop with this kind of crap.

What crap? When Rose was sitting on the bench eating his box of candy while watching his crippled team get beaten down, did you see any love or passion for the game? Cus I sure as hell didn't...

Yeah, I saw him jumping up and down cheering his teammates on. Talking to his teammates on the sidelines.

The Spurs blew it, but i expect them to be back better next season.

They are under the cap by a huge margin next season.

Ha, I always thought that was Drake on the hook. Hmm.

All joking aside (I wasn't really joking though), LeBron was hungry and he won this championship. Yes, Manu was horrid, absolutely horrid, and perhaps was more of an LVP and had more of a (negative) impact on this series than anyone else's impact. But James did what he had to to take advantage of that. His performance(s) helped cement him as one of the top 5-10 greatest of all time. But his performance(s) also displayed why he isn't the greatest of all time, why he's still second rate to the likes of Jordan, Russell, Magic, Bird.

That Chalmers three at the end of the 3rd was the real game changer. I throw up a lil in my mouth each time Chalmers hits a big shot.

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 may have been awful, but who in the hell ever expected Green to be the player he was in the first 5 games?

Merging with the Series thread.

I keep replaying the ending of game 6 in my head. Still can't believe they basically gave the championship away.

Nobody quotes French Montana

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

Sounds like foreshadowing but, no, it just happened.

Lebron guarded Green, Leonard and Ginobili for decent stretches in the series and this game. Parker couldn't take advantage of being guarded by guys like Chalmers or Allen during the last two games of the series. He looked exactly like a guy who was playing on a bad hamstring. Can't turn the corner on pick and roll, can't blow by a slower defender and can't elevate and finish in the paint. I give Lebron credit because he did guard Parker well I just don't want this to turn into the myth he shut him down.

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.

Manu is just a turnover machine now Pops made some bonehead moves the last two games.
