LeBron is officially the second greatest player ever. The race is now on. Bulls fans just need to accept it.

No race he has lost in the finals twice......................race ova.

Oh, and the Big Three era will be a smashing, unquestioned success no matter what happens from this point on. 3 finals, 2 rings = vindication.

Everybody expected that. Hell, everyone thought it would be 3 finals and 3 rings at this point. People were even talking about the Heat breaking the Bulls wins record after the decision. Lets not act like this is some sort of surprise.

Completely disagree with the Pop criticism tonight. Game 6? Yes. Tonight I'm not sure what else he could have done. Players gotta play

 

Agreed. This game came down to LeBron making jump shots and putting in an incredible performance while Green, Parker and Ginobili all struggled.

He benched Parker and Duncan to start the fourth quarter. The same exact decision that already cost them a championship in game 6. Benching Duncan and Parker together at all is laughably dumb. Then he inexplicably takes Parker out on the last meaningful possession while drawing up a give and go for Ginobli. Just terrible.

Can we put the "genius" of pop to bed? Good god he was beyond awful this series.

 

 

 

How was he awful?

 

If Green makes 25% of his shots tonight or Parker shows up tonight, Spurs win the title.

 

 

As someone else said, players gotta make plays at some point.

Seriously, how do you draw up a play for Manu when he's been turning the ball over like mad? He could barely keep his dribble.

And you could tell the urgency the Heat played with increased when they saw those two out at the same time.

Ginobili and Leonard missing free throws cost them a championship in game 6 and Duncan was out for about 30 seconds in the 4th quarter tonight.

That's really a dumb stat to use. What's different between losing in the 1st rd and losing in the ship? I don't think LeBron is Jordan but the s*** people come up with is kind of nuts.

So you think Duncan, who played 43 minutes tonight, should have played even more? When was he suppose to give Duncan some rest, in the middle of the 4th? Parker was exhausted too. It was a one possession game going into the final minute. Really grasping with this.

Stop it. Stop it. There's nothing you can say at this point. Bird? lmao.

What bothers me about you J4L, is that you have no respect of legends past, you don't respect NBA history. Just the fact that you think Russell was a punk is telling enough. Tim Duncan has 3 FMVPs, that's one more than James and yet you already say James is the second greatest ever? I have never seen people be in such a rush to crown James GOAT. They take what ESPN says hook line and sinker. And this isn't just about Jordan, Look at Kareem's career and what's he's done, James needs a lot of work to touch the elite players.

 

GTFOH

Duncan was on the bench for 25 seconds. Parker for slightly over a minute. They were getting a bit of extra rest, they weren't "benched". At the end of the game spurs needed threes. I woulda taken Parker out too.

So, if the Spurs want it, they can get up to about $20 million in cap space. Paul Millsap and a PG off the bench, or flush it down the toilet on Splitter and a farewell gift for Manu?

That is really interesting. They can retool this roster and be a title contender again next year if they spend it right.
