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

  3. wow great defense. also glad turnovers don't = choking because yikes ginobli.
  4. didnt you say the other night that you barely even watch basketball? your posts are as smarmy as sneakypower, except you don't know what you're talking about calls them like i sees them
  5. give lebron the ball then everyone else just run back on defense.
  6. DUNCAN CHOKE
  7. they missed two free throws and had zero turnovers. they lost the lead because the heat made two big balls 3s and got some fortunate bounces on offensive rebounds not because the spurs were scaredy pants. Why you think turnovers would be more indicative of choking than 80 percent and 83 percent free throw shooters missing free throws, I cannot fathom good then I won't have to read you weirdos talk about ginobli choking tonight.
  8. the refs and tim duncan get together to discuss the play.
  9. Duncan is such a bitch.
  10. battier's 3s don't even come close to grazing the rim.
  11. they missed two free throws and had zero turnovers. they lost the lead because the heat made two big balls 3s and got some fortunate bounces on offensive rebounds not because the spurs were scaredy pants.
  12. up 4 points with 2 free throws coming and 28 seconds left yes, that would be a choke a) yep you definitely don't know what a choke is b) they have like a 50% chance of winning Or 98.6%. you were close though. only missed by like 50%. so you don't have me on ignore.
  13. Of course they choked. Saying otherwise is absurd anti-meatbalism that has swung too far in the opposite direction. This is crazy. If ray allen doesnt drill that 3 then the spurs gut out a win a championship. The ball came off the rim like it did and the heatmade the shots when they got the second chance. Lebron missed that first three so bad that good rebounding position became bad rebounding position and Bosh made a nice play to get the board and the ball to ray allen for the game tying three. Two guys going 1-2 from the line down the stretch is not an epic choke job. Compare the likelihood of two guys going 1-2 from the line (which is a probability dead heat with going 2-2) and the unliklihood of what happened on the other end of the floor. Crazy, huh? I'd say 98.6 percent speaks for itself. whatever makes you weirdos feel better. I bet a team leading by two with 1 second left and the other team preparing to heave a 60 footer has like a 99.99999% chance of winning. if the guy makes the 60 footer did the other team "choke?"
  14. hey ray allen maybe dribbling ain't your thing.
  15. yeah miami looks waaaay better than the spurs.
  16. why would you want starling when you've got ryan sweeney locked into a long term deal?
  17. who exactly choked? you act like they dribbled the ball off their foot five possessions in a row or something. missed free throws? not being able to grab a rebound?. yeah they were going to be able to grab the rebound but their knees were all wobbly because they were like omg I'm so nervous. a lot of missed 3s result in long offensive rebounds.
  18. Leonard is a 63% FT shooter. don't get why people are so anxious to be all CHOKE CHOKE every time a team loses a close game.
  19. who exactly choked? you act like they dribbled the ball off their foot five possessions in a row or something.
  20. haven't watched much of the playoffs...is wade always just a guy that gets in the way?
  21. if they're not gonna call that on green, they ain't gonna call it on Allen there.
  22. not great, but it happened because miami threw in two super tough 3s, not because the spurs pissed all over themselves.
  23. what's worse...the lack of a foul call or the out of bounds call?
  24. up 4 points with 2 free throws coming and 28 seconds left yes, that would be a choke a) yep you definitely don't know what a choke is b) they have like a 50% chance of winning
