They also have been to the finals before and through grueling playoff series. This isn't an unexperienced team to their first finals which maybe then it could be something to worry about. Or a team that routinely falls short that could have the whole "oh why is this happening to me again" routine. They'll be fine, the only thing to worry about is basketball stuff. They've responded after the previous two Miami wins with wins themselves.
He didn't choke at the end of the game. He missed a shot, and had one bad pass. The other turnover was a great defensive play. He also made the 3 pointer that got them within 2 before Allen's shot. Funny how you ignore that point completely. Even MJ missed around 25 game winners throughout his career. That didn't make him a choker. That makes you a cherry picker, especially ignoring the 3 he made with 20 seconds to go, and ignoring the go ahead jumper in OT that gave them the lead, which they didn't lose again. All I'm saying is the criticism of Lebron is blown way out of proportion. People only notice it because they focus on him hoping he screws up, and nobody even gives a remote bit of credit to SA's defense for forcing those turnovers and Leonard for playing very good defense on Lebron most of the game. Let's pretend Lebron didn't hit the game winning shot. Your argument is silly, because Lebron got it done in the clutch, despite a couple mistakes.
No idea. It would be nice to know if Parker's exhausted like play throughout the end of the game was because of well exhaustion or because he reaggravated his hammy. Then Wade's knee also, in broadcast they said the Heat wouldn't say what's wrong until after the game. I want the Spurs to win but I think the Heat win in a close game. I don't think it will be a game 7 blowout like IND. It's just hard to pick, pattern says Spurs, but game 7 means you throw all that out the window including the Spurs fighting history and stuff. Both Pop and Spoelstra will fix whatever was wrong last game so it's hard to take last game and say so and so team will do the same next game
I am predicting another breakout game for Ginobili. I'm calling it right now. Game 4, he was terrible. Game 5, he responded HUGE. Game 6 he was terrible. Game 7 he is going to be lights out. I can just see it now. He will win this thing for San Antonio.
I am not a diehard Spurs fan, but I have always loved Duncan and Parker. I am a Knick fan through and through, but I can't stand the Heat organization. I want the Spurs to win this thing as bad as you do. I know this is nerve wracking, but trust in your Spurs and the legacy they have built. The need ONE game. Just ONE to seal that legacy. Parker and Duncan will come out with a vengeance. Ginobili will break through. I truly believe that.
Greatness has to happen with 2 out of 3 of the Spurs to win...Only Tim Duncan showed up in game 6 and they almost won. Seriously though has Lebron said if he will play with his headband?
Unfortunately (and I say unfortunately because I am rooting for San Antonio) it is far more likely that Ginobili will be terrible than that he will be great. Here are his FGM/FGA numbers for the entire playoffs: 6/13, 4/7, 2/4, 2/6, 5/20, 5/12, 4/11, 8/18, 3/9, 1/6, 2/6, 3/6, 5/9, 1/6, 4/11, 2/6, 3/7, 1/5, 8/14, 2/5. That's a 39.2% FG percentage. If you look at the pattern, you can see that roughly every 5 or 6 games he plays like the old Ginobili, and the rest of the time he plays like an old Ginobili. I would put it this way: if he does play like he did in game 5 the Spurs should win, but what is more likely is that for them to have a chance Parker is going to have to play like he did in game 5, and Duncan is going to have to play like he did in game 6.
no, your argument is silly because the "defense was great" argument would apply to every moment a player chokes, thus eliminating the very concept of choking. it isn't as if every player that has ever choked in the big moment did so when the defense sat down and gave them a free play. the defense is usually playing in those moments as well, but great players are expected to be better in those moments than the defense that is trying to stop them.
First game that wasn't a snore fest. Love that the refs let them play down the stretch. Big plays down the stretch by both teams. Spurs missed 2 crucial free throws down the stretch and LaBron and Allen made 2 great three's. I hate the Heat but the door was open a crack and they made the key plays when SA could shut the door. Tough loss for SA to come back from. I suspect a third period blow out in game 7 by the Heat.
Yeah, definitely. Great players should at least do something in the clutch like maybe hit the game winning shot. Oh wait... He did. And there's like totally no difference at all from fumbling the ball out of bounds and a defender knocking it loose. They are both the same and considered choking, regardless of the circumstance. Whatever you say. Lebron still won the game. Great players rebound from mistakes and get it done when it matters. He did. I hate the Heat too, but the man is still the best in the world.
considering the fact that my statement was had he not gotten bailed out and they lost, the fact that he hit the game winning shot is irrelevant to my hypothetical. I never stated he wasn't a great player or wasn't capable of hitting game winning shots, or even being clutch, so you continue to counter with irrelevant points that don't dispute what I said. the reality is LeBron almost choked the game away, and had they lost in regulation those possessions with the season on the line is what people would be talking about.
Not true. They were serious. Skip Bayless might've been trolling, but there was no indication of that being the case. http://www.sportsgrid.com/nba/skip-...opovich-should-rest-spurs-stars-for-game-six/
