no I didn't actually

I saw a lot of physicality in general. And I saw lebron make basket after basket.

It's a make/miss game. No amount of flopping etc can win against a team that is putting the basketball in the hoop more often.

....Bahahaha! The irony. I'm in stitches. hahahahaha.

Parker missed those free throws because Charmers elbowed him in the ribs which was a dirty foul he did

no he didn't. If he was in that much pain, he would have told the refs he couldn't shoot the free throws and someone else would have shot them. Parker thought he could do it, and that's on him. It's 100% his fault for not making them.

He should have got kicked out the game for that cheap shot. That was a flagrant 2.

Speaking of objective statements... That was not even close to a flagrant 2. You know how I know it's not? Because I watch a lot basketball games, and they always show the rules for flagrant fouls every time the refs review for them.

Edit: Thanks for admitting that!

The Spurs out scored Miami in the first half.

Edit.

Miami made a little a run and tied it going into second half. However the refs made bad calls and allowed Miami to get away with fouls.

It was a close game through second half thanks to the dirty refs and horrible flopping by Miami.

Lebron showed up in the 4th quarter but he did not do squat majority of this game

How? By calling James' 3 three-pointer's in the game as threes and not twos? LeBron put the team on his back and he won it for them. Also, the heat picked up 5 bad fouls not even 6 minutes in to the fourth quarter. The heat got plenty of fouls called on them. Also you keep bringing up Chalmers flagrant foul, and none of the spurs player had flagrant fouls...

Oh wait, you don't care about evidence... Smh.

Actually, he showed up in every quarter but the first.

Flopping can make a non shooting team win any day.

Wade got a foul call when he flopped.

The Spurs received a TON of undeserving fouls called against them for the Miami flops

I'll admit Timmy should have hit those free throws.........Parker was purposely elbowed in the ribs so he has a legitimate excuse for his missed ones in my opinion.

The Miami flops does make a difference if the refs are going to count them.

I think its a conspiracy.

troll

Blame this on pop's scheme against Lebron. Can't let him be isolated the entire game, could argue game one would have had same outcome without the cramps.

Yes

I already admitted I get emotional when it comes to the Spurs lol

But I can admit when they are wrong or could have done something better.

All I see is a bunch of ass kissing for Miami.

They flopped horribly tonight and the refs were awful.

They cheated and still barely beat the Spurs lol

I don't think you are being objective at all.

Parker had to sit out after that flagrant cheap foul.

Did you see that?

He got hit in the ribs and that could have easily off set his jumper at the line.

Charmers knew what he was doing when he elbowed him on purpose.

I at least respect him for following through and not crying like a baby like someone else I know.

This does not justify your opinion or make it more credible.

I actually think this is very immature. Instead of giving me a lecture on "how you watch more basketball yada yada yada" (which really means nothing)

Why dont you explain to me with detail facts and evidence that proves that it was not since you "watch so much basketball"

I did not like it because it was dirty/nasty and uncalled for.

He did it out of frustration. He purposely elbowed him and it was a hard one. Tony had to sit out the game after that. His flopping behind should have been kicked out for that cheap shot but I'll take the flagrant 1...messing with my babies.

You can call me a troll all you want. I am not kissing the Heat's ass or the NBA's.

The ref's made horrible calls this game and the Heat flopped horribly.

That is MY opinion, you don't have to agree with it.

[Sparky]

I love pop and the spurs. The first quarter every basket came from an assist, it was a treat to watch.

Then it fell apart in the 4th quarter. Timmy missing free throws. I think most common sense spurs fans would blame their own team for this loss.

Do you really think spurs players have a moral high ground over the heat? Manu Ginobli has garnered a flopping repuation himself. Most NBA star players have, it's an innate reaction. It's been in the league as long as I've watched it. You try to get the call.
