    Exactly the reason I was all that frustrated with Green in Olimpija, as it seemed obvious he can do so much more than he did back than, but than again it's all a matter of utilising players according to their strenghts and San Antonio does just that where Olimpija failed miserably in this case.

    Lebron will likely turn colorblind seeing green everywhere.

            Danny Green shooting 25/38 from downtown in the series. Broke Ray Allen's mark of 22 treys for the Finals set in 2008.

                HEAT forces a game 7 with a 103-100 win in game 6. Ray Allen free throws ices the games.

                Miami lives to fight another game as Ray Allen was clutch in the fourth.

                  Bosh had 2 very crucial blocks on TP and Green as well in OT.

                  I've watched many previous NBA finals and I can easily say that this series between the Heat and Spurs ranks as one of the best!

                    Spurs are the biggest screw-ups in the history of basketball. They were leading 92-95 and all they needed was a rebound. Such a shame.

                    This reminded me of the game Macedonia vs. Lithuania in EuroBasket 2011, where one Lithuanian player fumbled a rebound in the waning moments of the game (Lithuania was leading 65-64) and the ball ended up in a three-point shooter's hands. Lithuania ended up losing by two.

                      And he got the key rebound then kicked it out to Ray Allen for his game tying three pointer.

                        I want Miami (King James) to win by the way, but the fans suck.

                          Wildest NBA final game I've ever seen.

                          The Spurs basically gave the win to the Heat; namely Popovich pulling out Duncan in the last 40 seconds and letting Heat bury 2 three-pointers following 2 offensive rebounds. In hindsight, Pop looked really foolish and not deserving all the accolades, but nobody can predict the future, and will Duncan's presence make a difference in outcome? It's likely but also debatable. But Manu deservs more blame for this loss; turnovers after turnovers. LeBron also choked big time in the last 2 minutes of regulation; but at least he made that critical 3 on the second try.
                          aim low, score high

                            I had a lot of thoughts immediately after the epic game last night, one of which revolved around the way our culture and our media in particular forces a narrative. For example, imagine if one tiny thing had happened differently last night- that Ray Allen's shot is 6 inches to the right from where it actually went- and the Heat lose that game. If that had happened, a large part of the media and the NBA fan community would be destroying Lebron for those two botched plays and would be writing about his legacy becoming that of a choker, a player who is great but wilts in the Finals, etc., etc. But does the fact that Allen's shot was not 6 inches to the right change what kind of player Lebron is? No, a player should be evaluated based on the totality of their contributions. Don't get me wrong, what a player does on the big stage is important, but those two turnovers Lebron had shouldn't be career-defining or career-destroying simply because Allen's shot happened to go in instead of 6 inches to the right.

                              You don't think MJ's legacy also has something to do with Steve Kerr's big shot in 1997? Of course Kerr's shot was set up by MJ but still. In order to be great there is definitely some need for luck.

                              LeBron was ripped a lot a few weeks ago where he had a bunch of passes stolen by David West in critical moments, but nobody talks about it any more because the Heat advanced. Same thing here. Fans (and the media) are not objective and basketball is just entertainment, so whichever way is more interesting is however the story will be told, fair or not. It's not a science.

                              BTW I think the Heat are gonna blow out the Spurs just like Game 7 against the Pacers.

                                Heat will win game 7, not only because they're playing at home, but also because the Spurs will be tired and because Popovich will make some stupid decision, like take the best rebounder out of the game when it's on the line - and that will cost Spurs the game. Maybe Popovich once used to be a good coach, but is now an old fart who can't even fire his team up in the final minutes of the game and make some smart decisions. My heart says Spurs, but my head says Heat, and I'm pretty confident that the Heat will win.

                                EDIT:
                                Manu, Manu, Manu... trying to be Jasikevicius again with those idiotic passes... If Popovich has any sense, he will not play Manu at all, even though he's a foreigner. His time in the NBA is done - he's just become another "star" that relies on talent, not hard work. When will Popovich realize this?
