I was rooting for SA but at least we got an entertaining Game 7.

wow great defense.

 

also glad turnovers don't = choking because yikes ginobli.

 

at this point you're just denying the existance of choking

 

as manu airballs a three

 

no I'm not. it's just not automatically a choke if you lose.

 

if you want to say ginobli's turnover fest choking, go for it. it was definitely more choke-ish than game 6.

[SpongeWorthy]

Oh well

[Splendid Splinter]

Chalmers is that kid at the fringe of the popular group that is only there because he has a car.

 

 

No... that's Juwan Howard. Or is he Wooderson from Dazed and Confused?

[Formerly Snayke]

Dwyane Wade has three NBA titles and that's hard to swallow.

You mean one team can just be better?

 

Doesn't sound right.

No, its definitely Chalmers. They clearly only tolerate him out of obligation/necessity.

The missed hook shot and missed tap in by Duncan was the killer. Should have been tied with 45 seconds left. Instead, Miami is still up two and LeBron comes down and hits a jumper to put Miami up 4 with 25 left.

Good lord, what a crazy, Streets of Rage marathon gauntlet this team went through. They are vulnerable, but you have to respect this run.

Go back further to the turnover down three, and Green gets all excited and launches a 3 instead of doing anything but shooting the ball.

2 missed free throws in the last 30 seconds by good free throw shooters, failure to grab either rebound against a poor rebounding team (even though one of them was right at leonard), blowing a 5 point lead with 28 seconds left, commiting horrible turnovers one after another, missing bunnies. i'm not sure what else there needs to be for something to be consider chokish.

 

it's a collapse, at the very least. you can argue semantics about what "choke" means, but the bottom line is that they blew it badly when they were almost certain to win

Agreed.

Spurs took the give Wade and Lebron space to take jumpers tactic to an almost unfathomable extreme and it nearly worked. Can't get too worked up over that.

 

Kudos to them for knocking them down. DRose you're our only hope.

[wolf stansson]

ANY TAKERS?

@nikebasketball: Call @KingJames to congratulate him on back-to-back championships. (305) 767-2226 #WitnessHistory

[ChiCubsFan]

Boy do I hate Chris Anderson.

[SpongeWorthy]

Pretty sure that Mr potato head looking assistant coach for the Heat has gotten more camera time than any other assistant in league history

I still don't understand how one team can make so many unforced errors. It was bordering on comical.

giving up an offensive rebound is not choking you crazy person.

I know they just had two 7 game series... and that the spurs were a worthy opponent, but I don't feel like the Eastern conference was (or should have been) hard for them at all. They got a bulls team missing half their players--and their best one-- and then the Indiana pacers, who are decent, but shouldn't challenge the heat.

His lack of jawline is stunning.

[ChiCubsFan]

Hey, Bill Russell woke up.

[Formerly Snayke]

Boy do I hate Chris Anderson.

 

More than Wade, Chalmers and Battier? Because those three are the worst.

I really hate that guy. He reacts to everything like an annoying fan. I don't know any other assistant coaches who are that annoyingly visible/unprofessional.

1. Wade

2. Chalmers

3. Bosh

4. Anderson

5. Battier

6. Allen

 

For me

 

But I used to kind of like Anderson when he was on Denver.
