How do the Spurs recover from this?

[LordVodka]

This was not a bad loss if you look at it. They lost by only a few. If the pattern for this series is right then the Spurs should win the next one. No team has won two in a row in the series.

[Mr Handicapable]

Oh well...just another bad beat but I had the money spent there. Not even checking on gm 7 til the end of the 3rd or so. Miami will prob be up 15

[TwoWays]

Lebron looked exhausted as well. Ray allen aint a young'n. Wade aint young'n and his knee be banged up. Injuries and old age for key players on both teams, so game 7 is not a lock for either side.

Alright well this is just stupid. If you're gonna only look at what Miami did and how they were 'lucky' and ignore ALL the other things that went right for Spurs, you are def. a Miami hater or have some bias atleast.

Bottom line, yes Miami had SOME lucky sequence, but not even as much as u guys are making out. The rebounds were a given considering Pop took out Duncan (not called luck, its a product of big men vs small men, big man wins rebounds). Both 3's from LeBron and Allen were open/non-contested shots - both players more than average 3-point shooters. Only real 'lucky' part was the 2 missed FT's but even then, its a product of fatigue and nerves. How many FT's did Wade and LeBron miss that could've easily won the game for them had they made even a few of those? Exactly.

So this luck talk is b/s at the end. Both teams had 'moments' of it and Spurs more so than Heat if anything. But at the end, after its said and done, Miami put up more points on the board than Spurs.

That's right, you CAN'T argue Miami deserved to lose this game, Spurs definitely got some fair calls, as did Miaimi; there might have been a no-call before Ray Allen was fouled to end the 1st OT on Ginobili but that call is 50/50 in that situation, regardless the game was called even on both sides- with Spurs having 21-28 ftsa, and Miami having 16-21 ftsa.

Just an amazing game from a viewers standpoint, and a bettor's one.

There was no luck....the Spurs just blew it. Dont see how they win game 7.

As for the missed FTs, eh can live with that. People r gonna miss them. If they could just grab one more defensive rebound we're not even taking about them though. Duncan shouldve been in the game on those finals possessions. He's grabbing a rebound on one of those plays if hes in the game.

[SportsTerminator]

If I'm a Spurs fan I don't recover from this. Wow, this is just shocking that they lost! Coach Papovich didn't have his rebounders in at the end of the game. And why do you not foul and play the free throw game! Wow!

We can say that both teams were lucky at some points in the game tonight but when it counted most, when the game was on the line, the Heat got extremely lucky, mostly due to Spurs ineptitude. Spurs had this game won up 5 with 20 seconds left. Very few NBA teams lose games up 5 in that spot. It took a perfect storm fueled by coaching and player errors. Heat fans had already left the building, Lebron and the rest of the Heat looked absolutely helpless but leave it to Popovich and Ginobli to snatch defeat out of a sure victory.

Imagine if Stephen Jackson was playing for the Spurs right now in place of Ginobli's stinking pussy??? Lucky charms all around for Miami.

Pops did a Vogel tonight... Took Duncan out like Vogel taken out Hibbert. both equal massive fail.

Lol, forget Capt Jack...if they just take Ginobli out the game they win. Need to have a short leash with him in Game 7. As soon as he throws a pass straight to Miami player, they need to bench him.

[Mac4Lyfe]

True... Spurs would have been better off taking Ginobli out and playing 4 on 5 instead of him point shaving and playing 4 on 6.

how much did you lose on the spurs?

[Mac4Lyfe]

Had Heat ML the last 2 games... Will be on the Heat ML in game 7 as well. I've been perfect betting on or against the Heat w/the exception of game 5.

how much did you lose on the spurs?

[Romerowned]

Spurs got a decent shot in game 7. Don't agree how everything says its automatically over. Why would they just give up? They believe and know they can win in Miami. They dropped the ball last night but they have another chance.

Nah...Duncan isnt going 30/17 again. Parker isn't 100%....Spoelstra finally wised up on Green and has guys in his face. Probably Heat by double digits

[Mr Handicapable]

In all the craziness in the last 20 seconds of regulation...didnt even realize Pop pulled Duncan. Makes no fkn sense whatsover? Miami gets 2 off boards that leads to two 3s because a HOFer with 17 rebounds is on the bench. What?

[Mac4Lyfe]

Pops did a Vogel... It's the same situation as sitting Hibbert for 2 straight possessions.

Coaches never learn. Then you don't foul when Bosh got the rebound is beyond stupid. 5 seconds left, foul Bosh hard as hell. Never let him kick the ball out to any shooter and they are down 3 with 5 seconds and Bosh is shooting 2 FT's. Why wouldn't you do that? Popovich and Ginobli both lost this game. One of the worst coaching jobs I've seen in any profession.

Thing of it is...Pop seemed right on it in the 1st half. Wade was doing damage so he put Leonard on him and turned him off. Ginobili was screwing up their 2nd Q run so he put in Diaw for him and he helped get the halftime lead to 10. It was all there for SA and its going to be in their head when Miami plays better gm 7.

[Snowball]

i agree ... but it is for all the marbles so anything can happen,
no matter what we think or anyone thinks, even what the players think
doesn't matter because once that ball is tipped off, it's do or die.

[GunShard]

Spurs choked in the last 20 seconds of the 4th quarter.

[Kevin Garnett]

I only can say the spurs are stupid, very very stupid.
