NO NO NO NO NO

As long as we have D'Antoni, we will stay at 16. Laker fans are parading tonight about the past. We got swept and we fucking stink.

And Gnnr, too early to say "dynasty", this run would be the Lebron era though.

Dynasty? LofuckingL

the two back to back turnovers.. and then in the final possession/spurs last chance when he jumped into the air and threw it away..

You can see he was mad at himself when he slammed his hands on the floor.

Both teams were tired after game 6 and that means the advantage goes to Miami. I was just hoping the Spurs' experience and poise would somehow guide them to victory.

Congrats to Miami.


HAHA. well you know the Laker's fanbase.

I think the "Three peat" will be a hot topic next season.

The Spurs were daring LBJ to take to kill them with the three or midrange game instead of slashing, but he was draining everything. So was Wade with those jumpers. Battier with 5 threes and Chalmer's half time three too!?

Kawhi Leonard was a stud though. I don't get why Pop left Danny Green in after he was 1-9, but I guess he had too. Who else do they have off the bench besides Neal. I guess maybe Diaw since he was at least doing something.

Poor games by Green and Manu and Tony Parker too I guess even though he's playing with injury and possibly already a small tear the last few games.

Lebron ties DJ Mbenga & Adam Morrison in rings while one short of Luc Longley and Devean George.

GOOD NIGHT.

Riq

Holyshit what a series.

All i can say is the Spurs as an organization is first class from the top to the bottom. I just can't hate any of them. I feel extremely happy and sad at the same time. Timmy and Pop deserve another Ring. The Spurs played their hearts out. I even feel bad for Manu, he had a pretty solid game up until that last turnover. He made the same mistake D-Wade has made countless times, he got caught in the air looking to pass.

Lebron was on fire from 15-23ft. I hope I never hear ANYONE EVER question if that man is clutch again. Nothing is more clutch than his performance tonight.

Riq

What was that again???.............






























Yep that's what I thought......

theronin

Lol oh man Riq, its gotta feel sooooo gooood right now. Hate to say it, but love to see it happen, LBJ basically responded to it all. Comes up huge in the 2 games it REALLY matters.

#respect

Trust me it feels soooooo sweet right now. I'm on record as a D-Wade fan, I love Lebron's talent and IQ and I appreciate what a special player he is but I will forever be a Wade fan. But the crap that people say about Lebron is borderline retarded so I'm happy more than anything for him because now people like "Goofs" just have to shove that hater jockstrap back down their throat when they think they know what the game of Basketball is.


To the 2 Spurs fans that joined the conversation a few pages back. All I can say is nothing but respect for that team and those fans. They kept it pretty classy and there is nothing better than that.

Phlip

Willie Naulls and Clyde Lovellette both called and asked if they could meet and compare the quantity of rings won.
Robert Horry butted in and NO ONE spoke

Yeah I will yell Dynasty if the Heat 3peat, which is not a for sure thing. 2 in a row although rare is not a Dynasty just yet but its pretty close. I wish the Lakers would fire D'antoni and get a real Coach. A Kobe vs Lebron Finals would be a series for the ages.

iRONDONkey

read your box score, and you'll see that you need to make adjustments to your roster too.

i can't think of any players on the market that would mend in well with the lakers either.

css145

It was one hell of a series, Miami took control the last 2 games and that is what counts. Congratulations to them on another ring.

As far as the lakers, I'm not worried about them.

Been a Spurs fan since I moved here back in 2000 and will remain one. Go Spurs Go!

Yeh you're right I know nothing about the game of basketball because I don't respect LeBron's game, even though I've been playing the sport consistently for over 7 years. Great assumption man.

Yea. I think under Wikipedia, there will be a "Lebron Era" section under the Miami Heat article.

What constitutes a dynasty anyways? A long reign of consistently making it into the finals and winning championships? I don't think the Spurs were even considered a dynasty until they won that 4th ring in 2007.

LeBron has my respect though for showing up in Game 7 and making jumper after jumper and 3 after 3 when the Spurs took his slashing game away.

IMO a minimum of three championships in a row or three championships in half a decade (5 yrs).


I wouldn't call the Heat a dynasty just yet. They had that potential if they won against Dallas though.

LMFAO! 7 years? Is that all? Holyshit!!! EVERYONE STEP BACK!!! Looks like your name should be Mr.Basketball from now on Goofy... Listen up git... I been playing/ following the game for over 25 years. You have a long way to go before you should be throwing up your many years in the sport. The fact that you don't respect the man's game proves just how little you know about the game. You have no clue of what good basketball is. If you really were "playing the the sport consistently for over 7 years" You would know that a player that ONLY looks for his own shot and doesn't play with his TEAM will NEVER be successful (Brolo and Melo roll their eyes). You would understand that Lebron does far more than just impact the game with scoring. Even in his 16 point game this series he did far more to impact the game. Didn't your elementary school PE coach teach you that this year? If you really did play the game like you claim to, you would understand how hard it is to play the role Lebron plays. You would understand how much defending all 5 positions while still creating offense for your team and scoring takes out of you. Your opinion is the cookie cutter opinion of someone that just started watching the game and has never touched a basketball in his life so you just piggyback what is cool to say. Point is your basketball input/IQ is better served on the Espn.com message boards....

Either way, I hope you guys win your next game against the 8th graders. At that level shit gets real....

It's really hilarious how easy it is to get you mad. I find it hilarious how I can get you so worked up and write essays by just writing a sentence.

Not taking anything away from LBJ, BUT the Spurs gave him/Wade 300 feet of space (exaggerating but you get my point). I'd HOPE that someone of his caliber could make jumpers. Yes, it's easier to just drive in the lane, get the whistle and make free throws, but if you're in the NBA and play any position that's not PF/C, you better be making 17-19 foot jumpers consistently when given so much room.

Sorry kid, I never get mad especially after Miami's 3rd Championship. You are reading things completely wrong. I simply enjoy educating ignorant children. Hell I even wished you luck against those 8th graders

There is no way to make anyone in Miami angry for the rest of the summer.

theronin

Just mention the Dolphins

When is the new Basketball thread going to be started? I want to talk off-season. The Championship is only relevant to us Heat fans.

Riq

LMAO! Very true but the Marlins still give me nightmares




Just heard on 790theticket that Danny Green was at the club with the Heat celebrating lastnight. If this is true I don't personally have a problem with it because as I said before that whole Spurs roster is full of guys that are all around great people. I'm sure Capt Jack would have played the role of the bad guy had he not been cut. But I'm pretty sure Espn is going to troll the shit out of this non-story if it's true.

FRpilot

idk because the lakers won three straight from 99-02 and most people consider that a "three peat" or the "Shaq and Kobe era", but had they stayed together then they could have became a "dynasty".

my interpretation is that it should require "x amount of titles within 2x amount of time or shorter and the same core of superstars" with at least 4 titles being the minimum. at least that is consistent with the Spur's 4 titles in 8 years in the 2000's, the Bull's 6 titles in 8 years in the 90's, the Bill Russell Celtics 11 championships in 13 years in the late 50s- mid 60s, and the Lakers 5 championships in 6 years in the late 40's-mid 50s.

Yes, that is true. (Especially that one corner three where he had all day, took a dribble to get in rhythm, and calmly nailed the three that the announcers were saying "that is like a practice shot"). I think San Antonio were allowing that space to encourage him to keep shooting, but he kept making them.

I was seriously questioning what Pop was thinking. Why do you keep Danny Green in who was stinking all night? I know his bench is short and only consists of Neal and Diaw, but at least Diaw was having a little success. He should have played Diaw more. And why was Tony Parker on the bench during the last play where Spurs could tie. Instead Manu got the ball, got in the air, and turned it over? I know they shut down Parker and he's possibly playing with a small tear, but I rather have it in his hands than Manu.
