Re: NBA Thread
To be fair, there were a lot of non-calls in the game. The Spurs non-calls just came at a shitty time.

I'm emotionally drained. That's one of the single greatest games I've ever seen in my life.

Re: NBA Thread
It was exciting and very entertaining but there was nothing "great" about watching the best player on the planet try and give away the game in the final two minutes and the Spurs missing free throws and continuing to be inept on the glass. Allen's shot was clutch, I guess....4/5 wrote:I'm emotionally drained. That's one of the single greatest games I've ever seen in my life.
Congrats on your team's title win this year though.

Don't try to jinx this.
If that's what you took away from this game, I'm sorry.

Re: NBA Thread
i didnt watch the game but people bitching about non-calls really need to look at the game closer instead of how it "fucked" their team

Re: NBA Thread
Incredible game. Everyone seemed to have a big moment. Let's hope Game 7 is half as good.
I hate to blame the outcome on one person but Ginobli was a turnover machine last night. I have no idea why he was the one to take it the hoop on the final possession instead of Parker. I was fine with a no call on Allen because Manu took about 5 steps.

it was a great game, but between the missed free throws, Popovich's coaching blunders, and the Spurs inability to even get one rebound when it mattered, it was a game San Antonio literally threw away

Spurs blew it, no doubt, but the Heat's defense was really damn good in the 4th quarter.MattA75 wrote:it's the NBA, the refs have been playing God for 25 yearsverb_to_trust wrote:This is ridiculous logic.

As disappointing as the non-calls were (loved LBJ's Jim Brown elbow to Danny Green on that layup), the Spurs really blew this one. Sucks.
I do think, though, that if any team is capable of bouncing back against the Heat in their building, its the Spurs.

I'm thinking Game 7 will be close until the 4th quarter and then the Heat will pull away.EJ wrote:I was just about to post this.MattA75 wrote: it was a great game, but between the missed free throws, Popovich's coaching blunders, and the Spurs inability to even get one rebound when it mattered, it was a game San Antonio literally threw away

Re: NBA Thread
Yup. I thought Pop rested Parker a little too long at the start of the 4th quarter too.

Re: NBA Thread
You're probably right. Manu's Mr. Fumbles routine was back in action after that great Game 5. 8 turnovers. And Pop's decisions down the stretch were bizarre.Peeps wrote:i didnt watch the game but people bitching about non-calls really need to look at the game closer instead of how it "fucked" their team
