NBA FINALS GAME 7

At last, here we are.  Game 7 of the NBA Finals, once again, and what a ride it has been to get to this point.  It's been nothing but back and forth, with knock-out punches being thrown from both sides.  I really did think the Heat were done when they were down 12 late in the third of the last game.  This was because they had opportunities to score and just weren't finishing.  Then, all of a sudden, Lebron James just kind of awoke and started playing like he wanted the game more than anything.  Much like a champion.  Then the whole team came together and played like winners.  Now for the Spurs, they were so, so close to grabbing that trophy that night and may have exhausted themselves trying that hard to get it.  I will say that Tim Duncan may just be the best PF of all time.  I mean overall productivity, clutch play and that he is one of the best teammates to have.  He was unbelievable on Tuesday, but after playing those 45 minutes, it's very unlikely he'll have a game near that good tonight.  So, have the tables turned since 8 years ago?  Just maybe.  I'll never forget the second best game in the Finals that I ever watched, which was the 2005 Finals Game 5, Pistons vs Spurs in Detroit.  Can you guess which Finals game I thought was the best?  Anyway, the Pistons dominated most of this game, until the last few minutes when San Antonio took over and Robert "Big Shot Bob" Horry was wide open in the last seconds to hit that dagger 3 to give the Spurs a one point victory.  Detroit went on to extend the series to 7, but were out of gas on the road and the Spurs had the best player(Tim Duncan) on the court.  Well, it looks as if I may get to see sweet revenge on San Antonio because now they have to go on the road for a game 7, which they may be  completely exhausted in, and the other team has the best player.  Some people are saying that if Wade doesn't step it up that the Heat won't win.  I disagree, because one, he's banged up, much like it has seemed for a while now, and I believe others like Haslem, Bosh and Birdman will.  Now, one thing is for sure, and that is that Lebron must play with the same aggressiveness and energy that he played with in the fourth quarter of Game 6, and I think he will because he wants it.
