The coals are getting hot!! #pitmaster#carolinastyle http://t.co/e5lKixZWjT

Tim Bontemps

Also, Dwyane Wade is soooooo lucky Miami came back and won. He almost single-handedly cost them that game late in regulation.

Tim Bontemps

Quick question: last Finals game that good was ... When?

Tim Bontemps

Game 7 Thursday. Going to be so much fun. Fitting way to end this incredible season.

Kris Humphries

Coach Popovich is epic on this post game interview. #dontaskquestions

Kris Humphries

What a game! Can't ask for a more entertaining finals #game7

Tim Bontemps

Other than the question about not fouling up three late. Predictably said that he doesn't.

Tim Bontemps

These questions are so bad in this Popovich press conference. So horribly bad.

Tim Bontemps

Manu Ginobili finished this game -16. 2-for-5, eight turnovers. Dwyane Wade finished this game -21.

Tim Bontemps

And what a game. Pretty sure there's no way Game 7 can match it – likely will be a blowout. But one of the best games I've ever seen.

Tim Bontemps

Regardless of calls, Spurs blew this one. Up five with 30 seconds left? Have to close it out. Two offensive rebounds, two missed FTs.

Stefan Bondy

I need to take a shower after that game.

Tim Bontemps

I don't like playing the referee game at all, but those are two huge no-calls.

Rod Boone

Ridiculous game. The ultimate reality show.

Tim Bontemps

Chris Bosh clobbered Danny Green.

Mike Mazzeo

Chris Bosh. Game 7. Fun.

Rod Boone

Ginobili got fouled.

Tim Bontemps

Obvious foul. That's the call Dwyane Wade got against the Mavericks in 2006.

Mike Mazzeo

Chris Bosh. Defensive plays.

Tim Bontemps

That was a hilariously bad call by Ken Mauer, making up for my earlier tweet. Huge play by Green in transition on D once again.

Tim Bontemps

Duncan 0-5 and hasn't scored since the end of the third quarter.

Tim Bontemps

Missed free throws killing the Spurs.

Mike Mazzeo

To quote Thrift Shop: This is (bleeping) awesome.

Mike Mazzeo

Offensive rebounds folks. Offensive rebounds.

Tim Bontemps

Regardless of how this one turns out, LeBron James has done what he was supposed to tonight. Incredible performance.

Stefan Bondy

Wade ruined LeBron's groove with that silly post up.

Stefan Bondy

LeBron James. That's just a shame.

Tyshawn Taylor

Let the bronny slander begin

Rod Boone

LeBron has to shoot that. Can't try to make that pass there.

Tim Bontemps

And LeBron went from having the ball every time down to Wade dominating it. Not a coincidence.

Stefan Bondy

Greatest clutch performance from an innocent victim of a brawl between Drake and Chris Brown.

Rod Boone

Tony Parker. Onions.

Tim Bontemps

Two insane shots by Parker, but Heat have fallen apart offensively since Wade came back in. One horrible possession after another.

Mike Mazzeo

Remember when the #Spurs were gonna move Tony Parker to SG so they could sign J-Kidd to a max deal?

Rod Boone

Bosh flopping again.

Tim Bontemps

In Games 4 and 6, Ginobili is a combined -40.

Tim Bontemps

Spurs are missing a ton of shots they normally make, including that Duncan miss. Might just be out of gas.

Stefan Bondy

Mike Miller's shoe is upset that LeBron's headband is now the storyline.

Tim Bontemps

Again: Spoelstra benched his star. Popovich should have done the same with Manu.

Tim Bontemps

If Spurs go on to lose this one, those first three minutes of the fourth will haunt them for a long, long, long time.

Stefan Bondy

This is that symbolic moment when LeBron sheds his headband, embraces his baldness, and takes over the game

Tim Bontemps

Spoelstra has benched Wade here, already sitting Haslem. You have to question whether Popovich should do same with Manu. He's been awful.

Tim Bontemps

Hard to think this one didn't just end, even with the score this close. Incredible sequence of events.

Rod Boone

What a sequence by LeBron.

Mike Mazzeo

The best player in the world has shown up.

Stefan Bondy

LeBron has no confidence in his jumper. They're begging him to shoot and he won't.

Mike Mazzeo

Two desperate teams. Love this.

Mike Mazzeo

No knees. One shoe. Who cares.

Tim Bontemps

And that was about as bad a start to the fourth as San Antonio could have had. Just horrible defense.

Tim Bontemps

Huge basket by Splitter.

Tim Bontemps

Huge start, and a huge mistake by Ginobili. Can't leave Chalmers.

Tim Bontemps

My prediction: first three minutes of fourth quarter (with Parker, Duncan on the bench) determine this game. If Spurs can maintain, they win

Rod Boone

Here we go. Fourth quarter time.

Tim Bontemps

Not saying it was wrong, but you knew the Heat were getting a call on a drive sometime soon.

Tim Bontemps

And that was the most predictable call of all time.

Tim Bontemps

Great job by Parker ensuring the 2-for-1 there.

Stefan Bondy

Miami unraveling.

Tim Bontemps

And then Wade pouts, doesn't run back, sets up a mismatch and allows a Neal runner. @Zach Lowe has been calling this out all series long.

Tim Bontemps

Of course, as soon as I type that, LeBron pouts and gives up a bucket to Parker.

Tim Bontemps

That no call on the Neal runner followed by the Battier 3-pointer could be the swing this game.

Stefan Bondy

If the Heat shot as well as they complained, Miami sweep.

Stefan Bondy

LeBron is having one of those games that's gonna haunt him until he wins another title.

Tim Bontemps

The way Tim Duncan is running the floor at 37 is incredible.

Tim Bontemps

Huge play by Kawhi Leonard. Pair of massive and-one fast break layups for him in this one.

Tim Bontemps

Huge for Spurs to match Heat in the penalty. Needed that badly.

Stefan Bondy

Mr. Whammy and his wife pictured in the NBA Cares About The Fans commercial.

Tim Bontemps

Spurs are missing a ton of chippies. That could come back to bite them later on.

Tim Bontemps

Heat already into the bonus less than five minutes into the third. That's a problem for San Antonio.

Rod Boone

Mark Jackson: Jason Kidd 'a great hire' bit.ly/18YmxEd #brooklynnets

Tim Bontemps

ABC reports we won't find out what happened with Wade at halftime until postgame. That should be interesting.

Tim Bontemps

Doesn't look like Wade is on the bench. Are we going to get an update at some point?

Tim Bontemps

When are Breen and Van Gundy going to notice Dwyane Wade isn't playing?

Tim Bontemps

Where's Dwyane Wade?

Tim Bontemps

I said after the first quarter it feels like what the Spurs are doing is more sustainable. Feel the same way after the second.

Kris Humphries

Timmy D is killin it! #bigfundemental Looks like vintage Timmy.

Stefan Bondy

Is this when Bill Simmons makes a joke about Duncan going to a German doctor?

Rod Boone

Vintage Tim Duncan tonight.

Tim Bontemps

I stand corrected – that wasn't Ken Mauer. My thoughts on the call are the same, though.

Tim Bontemps

That call on Duncan was about 15 seconds late, and terrible. Give me a break, Ken Mauer.

Stefan Bondy

Jordan was 35 when he won his last title. Shaq was 34. Duncan is 37.

Tim Bontemps

Credit to @Bill Simmons – he predicted an all-time performance from Duncan in Game 6 or 7. Looks like we're getting it tonight.

Tim Bontemps

Take out the Spurs blowout in Game 3 and Splitter is -20 in this series. He's killed them every time Duncan has gone to the bench.

Tim Bontemps

I know Splitter isn't this bad, but his minutes have killed San Antonio in this series.

Tim Bontemps

That play that freed up Green has worked so many times in this series. So simple, so effective.

Tim Bontemps

Incredible first quarter both ways, but feels like what the Spurs did is more sustainable – Miami went 4-for-6 from 3-point range.

Stefan Bondy

Shane Battier doesn't play basketball. He flops and annoys.

Rod Boone

Yeah, that was boring. #nbafinals

Rod Boone

Bank of Battier

Tim Bontemps

I'm impressed – Spoelstra is benching Udonis Haslem to get Chris Andersen back in the rotation. Didn't think he'd do it.

Stefan Bondy

Boris Diaw with the slow-old-man-at-the-park move on LeBron.

Tim Bontemps

I'm with @Ethan J. Skolnick – Mario Chalmers was playing well. Not sure why he'd get taken out already.
