NBA Finals Thread / Around The NBA In The Offseason

[Tenchi Ryu]

I feel bad for Duncan. He really gave it his all and his teammates and coach let him down (especially in game 6).

He had his fair amount of choking too, but at least he did show up in certain parts. If it was up to me though, that MVP would be going to Kawaii, just balled the entire series. Made me real envious of his Jimmy Butler like evolution, and we have the original

[PMONSTER]

Nobody quotes French Montana

For a guy with a solid amount of hits, he's kinda wack.

He won't be around long.

[DaBulls82]

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

On the sidelines.......

You said you saw no emotions or passion in him. Just exposing your hyperbole.

Yup - Spurs had a crap load of stuff go right and were up 5 with 21 seconds left to go and still couldn't finish the Heat off. Rose coming back during a Heat series with no Lu or Kirk and Jo hobbled wasn't going to change the outcome. I really wish people would just get over it. /rant

I hate Bron but he showed up and carried his team like a true champion. I'll never like him but I respect his talent and what he has accomplished.

I have NEVER seen Tim Duncan look that broken down and defeated after he missed that lay up
Looked like he lost all hope. And as he did, I did too.

[RoseTheFuture22]

Spurs need another big and basically a Ginobili without the turnovers

[JordansBulls]

Which do you prefer:

1. LeBron wins 2013 championship and Hitler loses WW2
2. LeBron loses 2013 championship but Hitler wins WW2

Serious question.

Come on now. Let's be real. Hitler killed 6 million because of hatred.

The Pacers and Bulls will be the Heat's biggest threat next year, clearly. I'd say Boston as well because of Rondo, but Garnett can't dominate Bosh forever. They need more weapons.

The Pacers need a true PG and a better bench, the Bulls need either another star or a roster full of 3pt snipers and a few more ball handlers.

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.

I can already envision you a year from now being pissed that our newly signed one dimensional shooter can't get open when it matters versus the Heat's defense.

I'm with you. I feel your pain.

[Bulltalk]

But I am almost 100% certain that this will be their last title.

This is the only questiom I keep asking myself after Game 7. I know thay CAN win it, but will they? Wade has been declining fast. I don't know what will happen with the tax or Bosh. I do wonder what's on LeBron's mind, about that player option...

The thing is that Pat Riley in all likelihood is not going to stand pat. He KNOWS where they are weak, where they need to be shored-up. The difference between Riley and our management/ownership is that they will probably really DO something about it. Whereas I mistrust our upper brass in this way.

Not a fluke. You don't fluke your way to 27 3s in 7 games.

The Heat finally started to play the defense on him that they were always capable of doing.

His turnovers and silly plays hurt more than his misses in game 6 & 7.

He shrunk when the lights got bright.

I'll admit he's the GOAT frontrunning 3 point shooter, though.

[[d][R][o][s][e]]

rose should be calling duncan to retire and join the bulls for the minimum even for 24mins a night

[BullsGate]

A Spurs told me that popovich have been exposed....wish he would explain tho

Should've played T-Mac more.

Better than Manu..

[LGhost]

meh... 2 is not 5 not 6 not 7

If the Spurs can't beat them then no one can, how long will the NBA be **** with the Miami Heat?

[SteelerSpartan]

Parker used up too much gas in game 6 and was running on fumes.....that an Green falling below average are what really doomed them

Ginolbli played how I expected him to....1uping Boozers Bum-Mode

[DaBulls82]

As much as I hate the Heat and what they stand for, along with their fans - that was an extremely entertaining finals. Much better than last years.

I hope we don't settle for a Morrow or James Jones type and think that's going to get it done. It won't. Those guys get singled out on the scouting report and never get open in the PO's.

[chifan1798]

I should have followed my first instinct, and not watched this game. I couldn't watch the last minute of it though. I blame Manu Ginobli. I hope the heat send him a complimentary ring in the mail, because they couldn't have done it without him

I wonder how Spurs fans feel about Manu right now

Boozer really never had a history of winning and coming up big like Manu did with the Spurs. He seemed to be loved by Spurs fans. When a player you love chokes like that, how do you feel?
