Can We Please Revisit Last Year's Game 6?

[FTBS]

Luck is the ball bouncing of the rim right a wide open Allen or Bron and Wade both missing shots and then Diaw tips it back to an open Allen. Bosh grabbing a board over Manu Ginobli and Ray Allen making a 3 is not luck.

It was just a bad move by Pop. It's amazing how after what happened in the previous round when Vogel took Hibbert out that he made a similar move. I understand that you want to guard against the 3 but defense ain't shyt if you can't get the rebound. And they didn't even defend the 3 that well obviously.

The luckiest shot toward the end of that game was Tony Parker making a step back 3 over LeBron at the end of the shot clock. That was the reason the Spurs had the lead in the first place.

Unerrated post.

But TP do be doin that shyt sometimes.



How did they deserve to win when they made mistake after mistake in the most critical moments? Meanwhile the other team executed and took advantage of every opportunity presented to them.

I swear TP was knocking down some straight bullshyt shots in that series. I know he's great but some of the shots he was making had me like "C'mon man

If you can't see that getting two offensive rebounds, both followed by 3's, in the final 30 seconds of ANY game, let alone the NBA finals, is at least a bit of good fortune....I don't really know what to tell you.

No need to revise this shyt......let's move on

Pretty soon they may have only this to hold on to

I know, breh.

But if you watch the Spurs a lot you'll see he does that shyt all the time.

Strategy, breh. The Spurs took their best rebounder outta the game because of Bosh. That's why they were vulnerable.

Yea I'm getting tired of that narrative. Spurs failed to close out and Miami seized the moment. That's why you strive to execute perfectly until the game clock hits 0.0

What fukking game doesn't have some ounce of luck for the winning team?

nikkas had their "LeBron sucks" threads ready to go when it appeared Miami was about to lose, and they were sick to their stomach when Ray hit that shot. Dat agenda

sad state of affairs

It's probably insecure Kobe fans. But they won't talk about the "luck" they receive from Horry, Fisher, Artest, and the refs from some of their championships

Good post, OP, but you're only dissecting the last minute of the game. As great as Pop has been, the entire 4th quarter was filled with wrong decision after wrong decision that only culminated in them having a 2 point lead by then that should have been wider. I won't even get into listing them right now, but I will say that not pulling Ginobili is probably the worst of them all.

"Fortuitous" would be the word to describe that sequence in Game 6

"Luck" would be Tony Parker's 3 in Game 6, as well as the shot he banked in Game 1

Strategy only does so far though, they still needed the ball to bounce in the right direction...and it did. It went right to Bosh....if it goes almost any other direction, the game is probably over. Bosh was the only Heat player in position to get a rebound. (Maybe Wade if it was a long enough rebound).

Duncan on the bench obviously left them vulnerable, and the shot was incredible...but insisting that there wasn't ANY luck involved is comical.

allens shot wasnt luck but it did save lebrons legacy

Luck = Preparation for opportunity. That's a life lesson right there.

Bosh was "the only Heat player in position to get a rebound" and what did he do? He got the rebound. He was prepared for that opportunity.

Ginobili wasn't the only Spur who coulda put that game away. Kawhai Leonard also missed a critical FT. They weren't prepared for golden opportunities that coulda won them a title last year.

Bosh was the player only the court over 6'8. He was battling the likes of Manu Ginobli and Danny Green for that board...how much luck you need for that? The missed FTs that made it possible in the first place were luck but that play itself was the tallest nikka on the court grabbing a board and the best 3pt shooter ever making a 3.
