I'm not sure how anyone can watch that entire game and claim the Spurs got hosed (especially intentionally).

Ya, there were bad calls, but that was the norm going both ways. It was pretty awful.

Event still, the Spurs shot more FT's, but they shot under their season average which cost them.

Can we at least all agree NBA refs just suck?

Was Tony Parker on the bench for that, or just the final inbound?

The inconsistency is mind numbing.

I still think it's crap that when a ref clearly sees a play to review it. That ref was point blank, unabated, looking at his feet 5 inches from the line.....that was a big advantage for a team without a TO

The arm bar came first, then ball, then arm. Arm bar is a foul.

Man I don't know....did Manu finish a play all game? He'd been better off passing to me for the open 3 from my recliner.

It was clearly a foul and clearly a travel.

I believe he was on the bench. Which would be one of several highly questionable decisions from Popovich tonight. And none of them worked (Duncan/Parker/Kawhi on the bench to start 4th, Duncan on bench to end 4th, sticking with Manu for 35 minutes).

Everyone on my Twitter is talking about how epic game seven will be. I bet the Heat lead by 25 through most of the second half, and most of the country turns the game off early.

Agree....Pop over coached big time IMO.....but regardless if his guys hit free throws or grab a defensive board and they win.

Biggest key is how will SA respond, they have to be spent emotionally and physically.

That's true, but really the only thing Miami has going for them consistently is Lebron. Good for Bosh -- he finally stopped sucking ass and played like the former shell of himself. Will he do that in game seven? And how about old man Wade?
I think the x-factor will be anyone on San Antonio not named Ginobili, Parker, or Duncan, because those guys should likely do their parts. They need another big night from Leonard, and especially Green & Neal.

All great points, the role players may decide this game 7.

Green had been shooting at a ridiculous percentage. I don't think you can count on that to continue forever.

Haven't watched a minute of the finals, but when I heard Crawford was ref I knew this series was going 7. Glad I watched USA/Honduras instead.

Worst finals ever. Amirite guys?!

Anyways smh at the spurs. Get one of two defensive boards at the end of regulation and you are a champion. Anything can happen, but virtually no chance I can see them winning game 7

Maybe if he leaves his best rebounder on the floor one of those two times they grab a board. Just the worst coaching down the stretch of a game I have ever seen by pops. When will these coaches learn to leave your big guy in against these heat. Its your advantage fucking use it. And how did they not call a timeout to get parker back in with ten seconds in ot.

Pops just made every wrong decision you could down the stretch. I mean Duncan and splitter on the floor and you must shoot a 3?
