NBA finals thread.

Looks like the home team has a virtual lock on winning game 7s so that doesn't bode well for the Spurs. Looks like the Heat will win game 7 and then we can have stories about how Lebron James "overcame the odds" to win again.

The spurs had too many turnovers, missed box outs and missed free throws. Even after all hat the game was taken from the refs made two mistakes. Very dissapointing to have a game ended with clear fouls not being called.

There needs to be some sort of balance between making a call and swallowing the whistle at the end of a game. It sucks to have the refs decide the game, but by not making calls at the end of this game the refs had a huge impact. Granted the Spurs had a chance to seal it if they hadn't missed FTs but the last 10 seconds of officiating was atrocious.

Miami will win the series like I thought just not the way I thought or imagined.

i wonder when the refs will start helping the heat? also if the spurs win i cant wait to see what stern's face is like when he hands the trophy to them lol

[bdoody42]

I'm thinking heat by 12-15. They have home court and are overall younger.

[bdoody42]

They helped them enoug the last minute of OT last game. Tonight I think will be called much better.

Well, as usual, the forces of evil have triumphed. Is anybody surprised? I hope the absolute and total soul-crushing futility of the NBA is obvious to everyone now. I was actually hoping the league would disband altogether during the lockout last year, and at the time, I couldn't believe I was wishing for that, but now, I totally can believe it.

This is not a sport anymore. It has been literally turned into a religion. It is a vehicle for the literal worship of LeBron as a god. This is not the NBA, this is the Church of LeBron. David Stern is not the commissioner, he is the High Priest of LeBronism. There are no fans anymore, there are devout LeBronists. It is all a complete and utter waste and I'm done with it now and forever. Let the LeBronists worship their lord and savior until the earth explodes and we're all swallowed up by horrible, fiery death, for all I care.

Spurs went through a lot to get here. They rebuilt themselves to compete. They fought a team loaded with talent (I call them the 1%) till the final seconds. I'll stand with that team every time.

They had a chance to win it all. Guess that's worth something.....

This is the same way everyone acted with Michael Jordan. No one ever talked bad about Jordan in his prime and everyone on the planet worshiped him. Michael was in every commercial and he even made Space Jam. I like Lebron but I see him getting just as much attention as Jordan. I think with all the social media more people can chime in on him. Twitter would have exploded during MJ's prime.
