Pop is an absolutely fantastic coach.

Miami might as well not show up for game 6. Good going, heat

God I hate the Spurs

 

Heat in 7

[InsideThePark]

Series over for Miami. Danny Green already admitted that God was on the Spurs side.

Rob Fukuzaki (channel 7 sports guy) is a tool.

He just said to Michael Cooper that Kevin Johnson did a number on you guys in 1986.

Uh Rob, that was 1990! Phoenix upset the Lakers in 1990 and Houston upset them in 1986.

Kevin Johnson was still at Cal in 1986.

What a tool!

God hates black people

[hk47]

Danny Green in god mode.  Piece of shit.

[m0nkey]

This is game 7 material.

I hate Ray Allen

[tennischmp]

I wonder how the Spurs would prefer to get back to the locker room, a walker or a cane

[m0nkey]

Lebron haters are such jokes

[tennischmp]

Spurs lost the championship tonight. This was the worst case scenario for them, lose the game and play an overtime game. Doubt they will have anything left for game 7

[Catwhoshatinthehat]

Spurs choked that game away in epic fashion. I don't see Miami losing game 7.

[InsideThePark]

I'm actually glad to see a game 7. Still think this series can go either way.

Ray Allen got away with a blatant foul on Ginobili in the final seconds but it is what it is I guess.

[Bruce Nye]

Horrible officiating makes the sport unwatchable.

[Angel Oracle]

LeBron, as good as he was, did make two atrocious TOs late in the 4th quarter. 

If the Spurs could actually make TWO FTs in a row, the title is theirs.

Surprising to see a Pops team choke like that at the line

And Manu got away with a blatant travel.  Dude clearly took 3 steps after he picked up the ball.

[Kevin]

Bosh with the foul at the end was pretty obvious.

[Catwhoshatinthehat]

They could have called a foul on Bosh but Ginobli was in the process of losing the ball during what was his third step.  Regardless the Spurs gave that game away - 2/4 from the FT line in the last ~30 seconds of regulation and Ginobli driving in OT while they're down by 1 when they had Parker on the bench and a timeout to use.  When they were up by 5 that game should have been sealed in the 4th quarter but they couldn't rebound and gave Miami second chances on both the Lebron and Allen 3's.  For a team that's generally one of the best when it comes to fundamentals that was a massive choke job.

Spurs choked. I don't think there is anyway they win game 7

[Punk]

Spurs blew it

[m0nkey]

They rangered it

[xboom28x]

Spurs win Game 7.

[hk47]

The block was clean.  The body contact was there, but they're not gonna call a foul when Green is doing a diving 360 fadeaway circus shot.

[InsideThePark]

And Manu got away with a blatant travel.  Dude clearly took 3 steps after he picked up the ball.

Yeah but let's be real, they pretty much never call that a walk. Regardless, even if they whistled Allen for a foul, there were still a number of scenarios in which the Spurs could have still lost. As others have mentioned, that was far from the only reason why they came up short.

Normally I would say series over is like the rest of you, but this is a veteran Spurs team... not the Oklahoma City Thunder. I don't think it's a foregone conclusion that the Heat win.
