Heat win Game 7.

Another sport that SA can choke in

{snigger}

I feel sick.

After game five the Spurs were paying $2.20 to win the series needing to win only one of the last two games. I loaded up.

I feel sick.

I went the other way...

Haven't England played in 4 ICC finals and lost the lot?

Yeah, but this basketball team don't have "England" in their name so that doesn't fit the pun...

New England lost a couple of Super Bowls that they really should have won.

Could do. We're Yanks. We can do anything.

Not as sick as SA. How they failed to close out game six will haunt them forever. Two points up, at the free throw line, about 10 seconds left on the clock - make the free throws, win the game. Kawhi Leonard only makes one, Ray Allen goes down the other end and pulls a three pointer out of his arse, and that was the end of that.

The Spurs complete their dismantling of the show pony Heat. 

Patty Mills was a bit of a star with 12 points in the 3rd quarter and 17 for the match. 

Tim Duncan now almost certainly in the top 10 players of all time.

Yeah well the obvious ones are:

Jordan
Magic
Russell
Bird
Wilt
Robertson
Kareem
LeBron (inevitably)
Kobe

and then you can argue over the likes of Shaq and Dean Uthoff.

Magic?

I'd rather Pippem, Payton, Hardaway.

A top 10 is too hard. It has to be done by eras

Dean Uthoff gave one of my favourite quotes

A young female reporter asked if he was built 'in proportion'

He replied 'unfortunately not... because being 10 foot tall would be handy as a basketballer'

There is another version of that with Joel Garner.
