I forgive John Starks and Nick Anderson after seeing that performance, granted Man Utd should have been shooting free throws with about :08 left in OT.
I guess its for the quickness with which you can rotate.
Yes I understand that, I still don't agree with the concept. They could have just put Duncan on the player least likely to get the ball and take a shot and it's not like Duncan's a slouch either and in this particular situation there's no time for the other team to mess around with the ball and make a more developed play, they have to take a shot as quickly as possible.
Luck also plays its part of course, but one of those missed 3-pointers towards the end the ball ended up right above the paint and was tipped a couple of times, three Spurs players who were on to it couldn't grab the ball. With Duncan in there, Spurs are less likely to be unfourtunate
I feel sorry for Leonard, he played his heart out and was excellent the entire game, seemingly always making the right decisions. In fact, he's been very good this whole series.
But they are more likely to be unfortunate on the first shot.. Duncan can't be "there" and covering the 3-point arc at the same time.. Miami had a better chance to grab the offensive rebound because the Spurs were scrambling to cover the 3-point line,..Luck also plays its part of course, but one of those missed 3-pointers towards the end the ball ended up right above the paint and was tipped a couple of times, three Spurs players who were on to it couldn't grab the ball.

Reporter:- "How do you get your guys into Game 7?"
Gregg Popovich:- "I get them on a bus and it arrives at a ramp over here and we go on the court and we play."
I honestly believed that if Spurs had won today, they'll have given Duncan the finals MVP. It was a monster performance from him and it'll give them the opportunity to give to a more established player instead of a bench player in Green.
hmmm his first 3 games he was poor as poor as Lebron he has really stepped up. Parker and Leonard have been the most consistent while Green's 3's have been immense. It is up for grabs on the Spurs though it should be Parker's it is Lebron's if Miami win's obviously. Miami need to get a real post presence in the summer.
The NBA has never been shy when it comes to giving superstars a push for the awards even when other players deserve it more though, and Duncan would be a safe enough option that most fans would just chalk it off as a reward for Duncan's long period of excellence throughout the years.
That and the Ginobili play where he was impeded and no foul was called on Allen (I think).
There were so many bad calls last night.
