Bosh threw a shoulder into Duncan's left knee during I believe the 4th qtr and Tim was hobbling the rest of the game. I'll queue it up on my DVR and see exactly when it happened.
Worst fans in professional sports. A good question to ask Heat fans is, "who did you root for 5 years ago?"
I'm guessing around 5-6 minutes left in the 4th quarter? I thought I remember seeing Duncan walk it off. Chalmers only had 2 fouls. Allen and Miller had 5 fouls to end the game, but both of them picked up their fouls with 20-30 seconds left in the game after the sub.
Lebron played 50 minutes last night, the most of anyone. The Heat and Spurs both went 8 players deep only. I don't think it will only drain SA. Mentally, I don't see them as a team that gets shook either. SA should have a good shot. I mean the unexpected has basically happened every game, no way you can rule SA out or be expecting a blowout.
Actually I was wrong about when it happened, it was at 2:42 in OT. When I saw it happen I thought it was a dirty play, but after re-watching from a couple of angles, it looks more like Bosh is reaching for the loose ball.
LOL. People like talk radio and ESPN and NBATV? It's game 7 of the NBA Finals. And yes, I think they will win it. If David Stern lets them.
Wow, I thought it was the 4th quarter too. Hmm who knows, Duncan only had 5-7 points the whole second half and OT. Weird.
I want the Spurs to win so bad, but it will be tough. They played great last night, besides a couple key missed free throws. The Heat played pretty bad, and somehow still won. Still, if the pattern continues, the Spurs win Game 7. Most of the media today act like it will be Heat by 30 in Game 7. Sorry, but the Spurs are not the Pacers.
This is possibly the last time the Big 3 play together. They have spent countless years becoming one solid beat. All they need to do is dig down deep and pull out ONE win. ONE win will give them a 5th ring and solidify their legacy. They may be tired, but so is Miami. Lebron played 50 minutes last night and I don't know if anyone else saw it, but he couldn't even get off the podium. He was DEAD! Both teams are physically beat to hell. It is going to come down to the team that has more mental toughness and much more of a desire to win. I have the Spurs winning tomorrow night. I just can't see the Big 3 go out without one final ring.
Im still confident, tbh, the Spurs have been the better team. Sure we wasted a great Duncan effort but Chalmers impact wont be the same. If the Spurs can mentally get over last night they will be in a good position. If they sulk all day and tomorrow then they will struggle. They just gotta move on, you cant change the past.
Mark Cuban compared it to when the Rangers lost to the Cardinals in the WS game 6 and then lost in game 7. Really, the Spurs need Manu to show up and hope Duncan/Parker have big games
So basically what you are saying is that Lebron's effort for the entire game is defined by a handful of plays, one of which was a great defensive play. My point was that Lebron had a great 4th quarter, despite how people constantly nit pick and criticize him. It's not really fair. Nobody's perfect. The Spurs have a great defense, you can't expect Lebron to do everything. You can't just cherry pick a couple plays to make it seem like the guy choked.
Hahaha. I saw them leaving before it was even close to over. They are almost as pathetic as the Jets fans that left the Texans game early because they thought it was over. It ain't over till its over. Ask Reggie Miller.
you can play a great game and still choke in a key moment. one doesn't negate the other. there is a huge difference between saying he choked the whole game and saying he choked in key moments. it is certainly fair to criticize specific plays. it is no different than a player who plays average during a game but hits a clutch shot. you say that player was clutch, which is about the specific moment, and aren't making a broad statement about his performance the entire game. or do you want to dispute that practice and say it isn't fair to call a player clutch just for hitting one big shot if the rest of the game wasn't as spectacular? that is the structure of your argument and how you would have to apply it, which is an absurd argument.
Duncan open on parkers miss at the end.... https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=uBImEYGzAXY&feature=youtube_gdata_player
did you honestly think they are so emotionally fragile and insecure that they wouldn't be? I always hear fans and reporters worried about this, and it is nothing more than projecting your own fears and insecurities onto the players. the reality is the Spurs are playing in game 7 of the NBA finals because they have the types of personalities and emotional strength to reach the highest possible level of basketball. they aren't emotionally weak, which is why they are great at what they do. the
Duncan wont let them be fragile...Its just about the Neal, Manu, and Danny Green showing up. Kawhi looked scared man on that first free throw...Damn it, just one free throw and this season is over
