Is there a precedent on this? I can't recall a time something like that has ever happened.

I can't stand the Heat and will be rooting for the Spurs but you don't lose a Game 6 like that and come back and win Game 7 on the road.
The Heat will win, it might be by double digits

agree. Spurs might as well just get back on a plane to San Antonio and avoid the embarrassment of getting their ***** kicked tom.
Agree completely. I'm rooting for San Antonio, but I'll be shocked if they can come back from that and win.

Wonder if he's talking to a poster on here also.

Rooting for the Spurs, but they way they lost does not give me a lot of confidence in them pulling this off. Though, the Spurs are a very resilient team mentally. Something tells me Pop is going to find a way to get Green and Neal open looks. Also, look for Parker to get a lot more screens, and get most of them set by Duncan when James is guarding him. The switch will create a mismatch immediately.
Also, I hope Manu is on the bench and not in the starting lineup. He made so many dumb decisions. He is the reason they turn it over so much. When Parker comes out of the game, they need to do shared duties for point. Manu can't have full control or else it will become turnoverpalooza.

I'm finding it hard to believe that an NBA coach was using heroin on the sidelines and no cameras picked it up.
First thing I do when I leave the Cave is hang my sabre up. It helps keep my blood pressure down. Just sayin'.
Your premise is flawed. The rebound wouldn't "likely" be long, it would more than likely be in the area where Duncan could have rebounded it, which it exactly what happened in both cases. The majority of 3pt shots don't end in long rebounds; maybe more 3pt shots end in long rebounds than other shots do, but not the majority of them.
It's not an either/or situation. Put four good defenders out there with Duncan. It's foolish to concede rebounding in hopes of stopping a team from scoring. If you keep giving the offensive team shot opportunities, they will score.
On the first 3pt shot, Bosh was out, so it wasn't as bad to have Duncan out. However, on the game tying 3pt shot, Bosh was in, Bosh rebounded the LeBron miss in the paint, and passed out to Allen for the winning 3pt shot.
Furthermore, if you are going small in a situation like that, you absolutely cannot turn the shooters lose after the first shot. On the first play, LeBrons's defender started heading downcourt after LeBron took the first shot, leaving LeBron open for the second shot, because the help could not recover in time. On the second play, Allen's defender followed him inside and but didn't go back out with Allen because the defender got tied up in the rebounding scrum, and the help defense got to Allen late. I don't know if the players in question just forgot what to do, of if this was not emphasized well enough by the coaches when this scenario was practiced, but in both instances, the players did not execute that defensive scheme properly.
IMO, it was poor coaching decision, and it garnered the results poor decisions usually do.
