Holy smokes.
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.

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.

and as someone else said, there were just as many non calls against the Spurs, they just didn't come on the final play of the game
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

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
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 watched the whole 2nd half and i completely missed what happened to the headband, but they did talk about him not wearing it during commentaryBDB wrote:i turned it on in last 3 min of the 4th.
what happened to lebron's headband?
i hate the heat.
It was really good when it had to be...they seemed to let up once they would get caught up and then turn it on again when they fell behindMonkey_Driven wrote: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.

Yup. I thought Pop rested Parker a little too long at the start of the 4th quarter too. The Spurs looked all of whack.MattA75 wrote:It was really good when it had to be...they seemed to let up once they would get caught up and then turn it on again when they fell behindMonkey_Driven wrote: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.

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
