I started my celebration with about 25 seconds left. A big "FUCK YOU," to Pat Riley as he came on the screen. While I was too early in my celebration tonight, I hope San Antonio seals the deal on Thursday so I can do it all over again.

I wish somebody would hire Van Gundy so I don't have to listen to his play by play anymore. He's fucking awful. In the 4th quarter, while LeBron and Wade are complaining about no-calls, Van Gundy is talking out his ass about how it's great the refs are swallowing the whistle and letting them play, then in overtime on Bosh's block he says "if you're going to call that a foul in the 1st quarter, you have to call it a foul in OT." Somebody still butthurt about being dragged around the court by Alonzo Morning :lol:

LeBald and Bitchwade need to get off their asses, stop acting like 4 year old girls and get back on defense. Van Gundy was right.

Lebron owe's Ray Allen a new house after Ray-Ray bailed his bitch ass out. As soon as LBJ bricked, I was up off the couch - when the ball hit Ray - I sat back down.

16 4th quarter points, a 3 which kept the game alive with 20 seconds, a triple double, chased Tony Parker most of the second half. Parker was 6/23 his worst game of the finals, scores the go ahead basket in OT, James averages 31.5 points in elimination games (highest in NBA history)


Since 1986, there have been 14 triple-doubles in the NBA Finals. LeBron James now has four of them. Double that of any other player.

Ray Allen should thank Lebron for keeping it close to help add to the Jesus Shuttleworth legacy.


Lebron didn't play great the whole game but he was the reason the Heat were in the game at all. It was looking like a blow out late in the 3rd.

And I still don't freaking understand how you let the 38ish yr old Ray Allen beat you on the dribble, drive, and get a lay up. I have seen it numerous times in the playoffs. I understand you have to play him tight beyond the arc, but you let him blow by you? Seriously?

hit your free throws in crunch time and you win the game and the series last night. It's pretty simple.

You could honestly point to any of 3 or 4 things the Spurs did wrong down the stretch.

Pop is fantastic, but Pop failed in the 4th quarter.

  • Leaving Duncan on the bench on the final 2 possesions of regulation
  • Using a line-up with no Duncan or Parker to start the 4th, while using Tiago Splitter and Manu Ginoboli whose +/- numbers are atrocious. Miami cut the lead from 10 to 4 in 96 seconds.
  • Not fouling under 28 seconds with a 5 point lead, let alone fouling with a 3 point lead
    • He also doesn't get a pass by saying "they don't do it". They've done it in the past, and they do "hack a shaq" all the time on opposing teams, in the final 2 minutes of quarters
  • The final shot for Danny Green was a great play design, but it was horrible strategy to have Tiago Splitter on the court. If Matt Bonnor sets the back screen for Danny Green, there's nobody with 20 feet of him on the shot
  • Timoeout usage and forcing a jumpshot all in the name of a "2 for 1" was poor too. Nobody remembers, but he used one of his last 2 timeouts with 40 seconds to set-up a quick shot. Tony Parker forces a shot over Bosh that is blocked and then they're really in dire straits. Just execute a play and get the best look possible.


Anyways, I think tomorrow night is going to be a dog-walk. I don't see the Spurs staying within 20 points. I don't think they can recover from such a letdown. In 28 seconds they went from tasting to champagne and partying in Miami, to a silent locker-room talking about a devastating loss. I'm thinking something 99-79 in favor of Miami.
