Finals

[Happy Hippo]

The Spurs dominated that game. More rebounds, more fast break points, more free throw attempts, almost doubled them up in the paint... all keys to winning games. This game was decided by the smallest details. Two missed free throws down the stretch, and two missed defensive rebounds. One of those things goes right, and the series is over. Spurs had it, and let it go. A team that was up 3-2 and lost game 6 has never won game 7 before in the 2-3-2 finals format, but it is only a three game sample so not very telling. Well, it has been a great series either way. These teams are both excellent, and the game last night was great. Will not be around to watch the last game, but I?m sure it will deliver some special moments, as every game has so far.

This forum has certainly been *interesting* during the playoffs. Well, I wish you all the best of luck going forward. See you down the road...

Man - that was my big exit speech, my thank you all and goodbye, my going out on a high note (OK, not really, but it's good to keep a positive perspective), haha.

Both of these teams are super resilient. Both are the best in the world. Both could win. That said, I think the Spurs get it done. They have been the better team overall throughout the whole series. The Heat have had great moments, but I think the Spurs teamwork will carry them through. Such little things had to happen for the Spurs to lose that game, and the Heat had to make big, somewhat lucky things happen. No reason to dwell on it - it's definitely the last game and the Spurs will be ready. Time for the 35 year record of the last road team in game 7 to win in the NBA finals to be broken.

?Maybe what happened yesterday and we do win and have a great game will make it even sweeter,?? Ginobili said. ?We can?t be crying about what happened yesterday and how unlucky we were and all that all life long. Life goes on and we have another shot.??

Cheers, and I hope you can cash that big future!

Solid!! Thanks for all you do, HH!!! I know I appreciate your work, because I know it's not just 5 minutes of studying and wallah, there's your picks. It takes tons of work, time away from other things that are/could be, more important.

That was a classic game last night, could have gone either way, the ball just has to find the bottom of the net and costly give aways.

Game 7 should be the highest rated NBA Final in history!!

I think Spurs cover the number and win outright!! If the Spurs are known for anything is "adjustments" and team play. Both as you stated are resilient, and I give the better coaching pad to POP even though he kept Timmy on the bench in odd situations, I doubt any vet gets much bench time Tomorrow night for the Spurs!!

GL!! Have a great summer!!
