This is a great finals...

[OttoinGrotto]

So...

Miami has earned this.

But Ginobili pissed this series away.

 

[Orangezoo]

what the hell was that.. and no tony parker?

 

[Libero2]

Ten bucks says Manus tenure as a spur is over. How many horrific TOs in the last two fourth quarters? 7?

 

[djcon57]

Parker on the bench.

Manu 's is up again.

I mean...oof

James moves up the "list" with that one. He basically won that himself tonight

 

[thebigeast44]

Pop has done a great disservice to his reputation in this series. Not having your best player in the game and letting the turnover machine handle the ball?! He has absolutely sucked and I hope he gets called on it.

Well, be fair now.

Some of those horrific turnovers happened in over time.

 

[thebigeast44]

How much did Pop get paid to help the Heat win?

 

[Orangezoo]

ok thats enough of the heat winning- time to reshuffle the deck whose up next.

Yeah. The Spurs were built on Duncan, Parker and Ginobili.

Duncan and Parker have played well, and have not been on the floor in critical moments.

Ginobili, aside from one incredible game, has been bad... and has had the ball in his hands for nearly all of the critical posessions.

So... What, Pop?

But seriously, congrats to Miami and congrats to Lebron James. I just despise that this method of "team building" is working.

 

[Cowtown]

True cowtown. Difference in this game is Battier vs Green. Battier has gone nuts and Green is playing like the average player he is the Iast 2 games. Hoping one of the Spurs finds it soon!

Battier's 3 sealed it, I thought.

 

[RF2044]

Yep.

 

[jekelish]

Manu was just staggeringly bad. I swear he was trying to throw the series, that's how bad he was. Can he be named the Finals MVP? I'm sure the Heat players would gladly vote for him for that award.

 

[RF2044]

Battier's 3 sealed it, I thought.

In particular, yes, but in general the Heat shot the hell out of the ball tonight, especially from three. And the Spurs couldn't throw the ball in the ocean from the perimeter for most of the game. That was partially offset by a free throw disparity in favor of San Antonio, but ultimately this is a pretty simple game: you need to make shots, and the Spurs just couldn't do that for the most part tonight, while Miami did.

Ballgame.

 

[OttoinGrotto]

Oh, man. It just hit me that McGrady has no championship ring now.

 

[OrangeDW]

Any team that wins 2 in a row deserves a ton of respect. I just hate that such an awful "fanbase" gets to celebrate titles.

 

[HOFCeluck]

I can think of 3.

Chalmers, Ben Gordon, Battier?

was going to say antoine walker... don't think he's in the lig now

 

[PoppyHart]

Rip Hamilton. Did Gordon win?

 

[RF2044]

Rip Hamilton. Did Gordon win?

Wasn't he on the 2004 team?

 

[jekelish]

Rip Hamilton. Did Gordon win?

Gordon hasn't won in the NBA.

 

[RF2044]

Agree on both counts.

 

[HOFCeluck]

Rip Hamilton. Did Gordon win?

no...I was thinking gordon played for Detroit in 04...I mistook him for Hamilton.

 

[PoppyHart]

Wasn't he on the 2004 team?

Yeah, but he was on the Bulls and Bobcats, unless I'm forgetting something.

 

[jekelish]

Apparently there are several:

Jason Terry (Zona 97, Dallas 11)
Nazr Mohammed (UK 96 and 98, Spurs 05)
Rip Hamilton (UConn 99, Detroit 04)
Shane Battier (Duke 01, Heat 12 and 13)
Corey Brewer (FLA 06 and 07, Dallas 11)
Mario Chalmers (KU 08, Heat 12 and 13)

I just realized Brewer. I thought Mohammed retired about 10 years ago, but apparently he plays in my city.
