2013 NBA Playoffs

[blink]

Mencius,

You don't think Green got fouled on the last shot attempt??

Smitty77

To be honest, I didn't get a good look at whether he did or not.  I was watching, but just couldn't tell.

He bodied Green and knocked him out of bounds. Every replay showed it. But if they are not going to call the foul on Ray when he molested Manu, they are not going to call the one on Bosh.

You can't NOT call that last foul on Bosh.  I don't care if  you are letting them play.  It is the last shot of the game.  He body blocked him, there was contact.  Green should have been shooting 3 free throws.  It was absolutely a horrible call. 

Now I know the Spurs partially blew it themselves with the missed free throws and bad plays by Manu, but that last play, clear and obvious a foul.  I couldn't believe it.
The refs blew that one.

The fact of the matter is, there's no OT if SAS makes their FTs.

They choked.  And I hate saying that.

Oh I know they blew it themselves too.  I said so.  But their mistakes don't justify the huge blown call in the last 2 seconds of the game.

not one of Pops better games...
1. too much Ginobili.
2. taking Duncan out in the last few minutes leads the 2nd chance opportunities for Heat.
3. the last play would have been to hard even if Green was not fouled.

Taking Duncan out twice was the kicker for me. What is he thinking there?? And the last play he drew up was a very difficult one. Interesting coaching maneuvers by Pop tonight. I wasn't a fan of how he handled the second half/OT.

So it looks like I won't be watching any ESPN for months.. Heat will be your 2013 NBA champions. Yuck.

some of you need to calm down, one team wins and the other wins the next, thats hwo this series has played out to be. the spurs can very easily win game 7

Unbelievable shot by Ray Allen.  If Miami wins the title, that shot is one of the biggest in the history of the game.  You'll see it over and over and over and over and over again on endless highlights.  Like Magic's sky hook or Jordan's up-and-under or something.  Dude is making history at his age.  Hat tip to the legend.

Yup.

And it hurts knowing that of all the shots he hit with the Celtics in big moments, it will be the shot he hit as a member of the Heat that gets replayed constantly.  That's the iconic moment of his career now.

Absolutely.

Very depressing

Not if they lose the series it'll be an afterthought.

I just don't see how they bounce back from this, older fatigued from OT, in Miami, against them AND the refs.

Yeah that was definitely a foul on Bosh at the end. On Danny Green's corner three.

I only saw a replay of it this morning. Last night, I thought he got the ball first last night and there was some contact after the block and I was happy enough to let that go -- chalk up to incidental contact after the block -- but now I have seen the replay and Bosh clearly got Danny Green the mid-section first and then blocked the shot after the contact. Definite foul. Should have been called.

Spurs hard done by on those last two possessions. Ginobili hacked. Green hit. No calls on either one.

Game 7. Wow. GO SPURS!

[Sievers81]

Does anyone realistically believe the Spurs can win this one?

I want to but Tuesday night was crushing, can't even imagine what that does for the Spurs morale and the Heat's confidence. I just feel a double digit Heat win

[NocturnalRebel]

Pop at his finest.

Not really. Heat are too good to beat 5 times. Heat always win a close series this way. Game 2 against the C's, Game 1 against Indiana, and Game 6 against San Antonio.

What's unrealistic about it? If anyone or any team can recover from game 6, it's tha Spurs. This isn't tha Pacers or OKC. They still have a good chance tonight. Not only because of Pop but because of their experienced veteran players and it just might pay off for them tonight. Tha Spurs big 3 have been in a game 7 of a tha Finals before, Heat's big 3 haven't.

So to answer your question, yes I do believe they can win this one.

[lightspeed5]

I predict wade to have a horrible game after that brick.

heat have lazy defense right now
