What a choke job by the Spurs in this series.

What a choke job by the Spurs in this series.

I...don't get that. They traded each game up until this point. It's not like they were up 3-0 and ended up losing it.

Heat earned it, but fuck it grosses me out to watch those classes, fair weather, bandwagon fans get their way. Yuck...

[RoHitman Reigns]

As Ive said everywhere else, the Yankees of the NBA got another title to their name.

Did you not watch them absolutely blow it in Game 6?

Fuck off, Stern. Just a few more months and you'll FINALLY be gone.

That's ridiculous. They didn't blow anything, Miami made two incredible, miraculous plays.

One game =/= series.

It's so stupid when people always have to blame someone when the team they're cheering for loses. Sometimes the other team just fucking plays better.

Congratulations to the Heat, they seriously deserved it this year.

[The Buscher]

When you blow a 5 point lead with 27 seconds to go in the biggest game of your life, yeah, that is most definitely a choke. One of the biggest in NBA history. Only a Spurs win in Game 7 could have erased that.

That's not even meant to be taking anything away from the Heat. They got a lucky break and took full advantage of it. Good for them. Doesn't change the fact that the Spurs cocked up big time.

Thanks LeBron and Manu, we couldn't have done it without you!!!

No, a choke is not when your opponent hits a miraculous catch and shoot to tie the game with 5 seconds to go. A choke is when you have the ability to finish the job but you don't because you lacked the confidence to do so. There was zero lack of confidence from anybody from either team.

A choke would have been Miami losing after Chalmers missed both free throws. Game 6 was not a choke, it was a comeback.

Fantastic series all told, a couple blowouts of course but 3 all-time classics.

[Gazz]

Fuck LL and the rest of Miami.

[gunnar hendershow]

OH I ALMOST FORGOT!

Rashard Lewis - 1

Reggie Miller - 0

[wrathofcarnage]

Lebron finally has as many rings as Adam Morrison and it only took him twice as many tries to get them!

[Benjamin]

And Tracy McGrady still has none!

Game 6 was a classic choke. Up 4 with 28 seconds after LeBron has consecutive turnovers (Miami's THIRD straight), Manure misses 1 of 2 free throws. On the next possession, LeBron bricks a 3, the Spurs have their hands on the ball and can't claim it and he nails the next shot. Up 2 with a chance to ice it, Leonard misses 1 of 2 free throws. LeBron misses ANOTHER shot, Miami gets ANOTHER offensive rebound and tie it up. In spite of all of that, the Spurs still had a full 5 seconds to run a play and got nothing out of it. Collectively their sphincters got tight and they blew the series there. One defensive rebound or one made free throw late and the Spurs are heroes.

Fuck LL and the rest of Miami.
