Totally agree. Any fan or team outside LA Boston and Chicago would be ecstatic to have 4 titles. Plus going to the finals another time does enhance their resume...

As a die hard 76ers fan, I'm going to pretend I didn't read that last part.

Oh, and I think Tim Duncan deserves a special shoutout. Class act, easily a top 10 all-time talent, and left it all on the floor in the finals at 37. He has no reason to hang his head low, my appreciation for Tim Duncan grew by leaps and bounds after these playoffs.

I really, really feel for him more than anything.

Pop was on the podium earlier and said the Heat's athleticism and defensive pressure really got to them the entire game...so every bucket was tough....Spurs came so close.

I do think the Spurs need to make some changes on that roster or it will be the last time we see them(big 3) in the Finals...the West is just gonna be tough to go through again with Duncan being older ....Spurs probably shouldn't re-sign Manu and find another young borderline star to sign in the offseason. As far as Leonard, he is gonna be a stud.

Lebron coming through with clutch performance...unbelievable. He really slowed Parker down...guy can guard all 5 positions...uncanny ability.

I know I know, the Kwame Brown crap was about all I could take, Bynum was one thing but Kwame Brown, I'd give 1/2 the guys in this thread 3 million dollars to play before I'd give Brown 10 cents. Sorry for the hijack guys, uhh go Heat.

What hurts the most is seeing Tim go out like this. After all he's given to this franchise.

He said he plans to return next year so he is not going out yet

Best series I've seen in a good while. The Spurs were capable opponents. But in the end LeBron was just too much. Anyone who watched the 4th quarter of that game and still thinks LeBron is overrated isn't playing with a full deck. Dude is the truth. He rose to the occasion and delivered. What more can you ask for?

It will be interesting to see how these two teams proceed forward. Both teams have some major personnel questions to address. The Spurs have a keeper in Leonard. The Heat may not in Bosh. We'll see.
