I've never felt like this for any team other than my own Seattle teams.

Felt like this after the Seahawks choked against the Falcons.

Pissed off is more like it.

I am not a an of the Heat by any stretch (not as big of a LBJ hater as some, kind of have mixed feelings towards him). And I have been rooting for the Spurs all series long. So initially I was really pissed too.

Butttttt...I had Spurs + points and the over, so I still won both and there's going to be another game to watch. I love game 7s. So given that I am not a Spurs fan, and I don't vehemently hate the Heat, I guess actually I'm happy the way it turned out.

It's not like SA got robbed, they choked.

No doubt they choked. Just think Duncan, Ginobili and Parker are such class athletes I wanted to see them win their 5th.

I agree. You still just might get to see it. They're not just gonna fold up camp and I really don't think MIA can just squash them at will. Should be a good game.

I couldn't stand to watch any press conferences or even SportsCenter , I felt so bad . Did Coach Popovich ever say why he didn't have Duncan in the game the last 30 seconds? I realize hindsight Is 20-20 but I thought the same thing when it happened.

Wanted to switch all the pick and rolls and matchup with smaller lineup.


I agree with everyone in this thread (besides being disappointed), it is kinda weird cause we've all watched our fair share of sports and just when you think you've pretty much seen everything....That happened. Not saying crazy stuff does't happen at the end of NBA games but never on that type of stage with the title hanging in the balance like that. Magic been around the NBA for 35 years and even he said he couldn't really compare it to anything he had seen...Just crazy they couldn't close it out with a 4pt lead and a 88% FT shooter at the line for 2 with 27 seconds left...

Read a story yesterday saying Spurs security may have contributed to the comeback. When they called a T.O. in the last minute or so of regulation Spurs security started stringing Yellow Crime scene tape around the court to keep fans from rushing the court when it was over. The entire Miami bench turned to watch them and decided they couldnt let it end like this...Seeing that yellow tape fired them up and drove them to give it 1 more shot.....or several more shots actually...
Glad to see professional players can still be driven by personal pride and not just money.

Pop 's decision to sit Duncan in that situation will wake him up in the middle of the night forever if they fail to win Game 7 tonight. It was his call, like I said earlier, hindsight is easy but it also makes us look quite foolish/stupid too! PS wish he had consulted with some of us who had the Spurs on the MoneyLine or who have th Spurs to win it all.

Guy has won four NBA Titles. He's earned the right to make any decision he wants.

Up 4 with .28 to go going to the line to shoot two free throws. 99.9% of the time, the team ahead wins that game.

well we are on opposite sides of this series, but man felt your pain on the SeaHawk loss.. man that killed me too.. had some great futures on them... Plus I like the way the team plays and Carroll is one my favorite coaches
