    Didn't Pop refuse to foul when up 3 last year, leaving the door open for the Ray Allen 3? I think that last possession, took a little of the luster off of Pop's legacy.

    It was an old-school, stubborn coach move that cost them a ring. Easily one of the most perplexing moves I've seen in a finals in years.

    A little anti-climatic but, San Antonio, what can I suck that hasn't already been sucked dry by the press.
    We've run out of superlatives. Best run organization, Best coached team, Best up and down roster, best
    scouted, best team at banging hookers on the road..... everything we are not they are and them some. Except
    small market.... we have that in common!!

    As just pointed out on SportsCenter, the Heat didn't score 100 points in any game in the series. Incredible.

    The Heat are such a cheesy team, I'm glad they lost. The Spurs deserved the title.

    They were searching for a 4th scorer all season. I'm not 100% shocked, but they were coasting on their defense against East coast hack teams for too long.

    Something like that his numbers especially scoring are not comparable considering the balance the Sprs had with that bench.

    Sincerely glad the Spurs won, just more proof you don't have to buy your way to a title.

    Most dominant performance by a collective group maybe ever. Pop is something else. It's very scary. I'm just glad Parker, Duncan and Ginoboli is in in their mid to late 30's.

    No contenders in the east. Just a default challenger.

    In four years, Miami went from King Hippo to Soda Popinski to Mike Tyson to Glass Joe.

    I gotta envy San Antonio fans a bit. They just got a 15 year ride like none other I can even think of.

    This picture reminds me of how ridiculous it is that we have confetti fall down after regular season wins.
