Game 7 NBA Finals Spurs at Miami

[desertdawg]

No excuses, no gimpness, just basketball. I'm rooting for the folks in San Antonio, who know what picante sauce is supposed to taste like. Lechoke we we you big foreheaded phony phony. I aint a spur fan one bit, but every year that doesn't add up to "5....6.....7" rings for the meat is sweet music to my hating eardrums. Beat these suckers on their own wood!!!!!!!

Good start, bronbron bricking 15 footers.

Yeah, how did that go again?



"You three kings came down here to win championships...not one...championships. LeBron, tell us about that..." - Announcer

"Not one, not two, not three, not four, not five, not six, not seven..." - LeBron James

"Once the games start, I mean, it's gonna be easy." - LeBron James

Slin could make the 3's bronbron is making, he even gets a comfortable dribble like a free throw...what's up with that Pop?

 

[desertdawg]

Great game.

 

[desertdawg]

Late whistle, bunkness, Mohawk bricks one of them.

 

[desertdawg]

Now the Mohawk draws an offensive.

 

[desertdawg]

Spurs get lucky with the jump call.

 

[desertdawg]

Props to Lebron in this game...ballin.

 

[Folster]

Ginobli sucks.

 

[82CardsGrad]

Age is losing out in this game... The big 3 for the Spurs just aren't able to pick up for the dramatic fall off of Danny Green. Meanwhile, the Big 3 for the Heat are more than able to carry their team...

 

[Folster]

I hate to see the Heat win, but the Spurs lost so that's something. spurs blew ot in Game 6.

 

[Lefty]

Suck it Spurs! Have a long offseason knowing you choked game 6. Will never root for San Antonio after the 2007 playoffs. That was the Suns championship.

 

[JCSunsfan]

two bonehead plays by ginobili to end the game.

I will say that defensive play by LeBron was a gem. The play was for Ginobili to go under and kick it behind him to Duncan who was following, but LeBron did not let Duncan get in front of him, and Ginobili had nowhere to go.

Ginobili just killed them tonight. Ill advised shots, worse turnovers.

How many times did he pass to nobody? Crazy. They should have put them away on Tuesday.

 

[mojorizen7]

Shocking matchup and outcome. Is Stern officially retired yet? :/

"Not one, not two, not three, not four, not five, not six, not seven..." - LeBron James

So we can cross off the very first part of his statement. "Not one." Quite a bit more to go.

I posted a few days ago that I was rooting for the Spurs, but I suspected that the Heat were toying with them.

It looked like all they were trying to do in Game 7 was hang in there, even at home. Then, with a few minutes to go, Miami (on the shoulders of James) opened up their largest lead of the game to take the championship.

I'm sorry but LeBron James is the 2nd best player to ever play the game of basketball. There's no avoiding that.

As much as I love LeBron, I can't buy this. Michael Jordan vehemently disagrees.

LeBron is certainly the best to play since Jordan retired, but he hasn't supplanted him on the totem pole of all-time greats. Let's reopen this discussion in 8 years.

I edited and I agree with you. I was just celebrating too hard when I posted that

That's one of the dumbest things I've ever read, and I've been on a be cool kick lately..but that is just dot com stuff, viral nonsense.....IMO.

 

[Brian in Mesa]

I don't think any one player can be called the best. Too many great players over the years - and at different positions on the court.

No one that's been mentioned has Russell's 11 rings in 13 seasons (and, yes, that's coming from a Lakers' fan) or averaged a triple double like the Big O (in only his second season) or earned as many MVP's as Kareem (one record which LeBron does have a chance to break).

I think the NBA did it right when they made a list of their top 50 players on their 50th anniversary rather than trying to narrow it down.

Maybe they need to do an update.
