"Ahh, I was wondering what would break first, your spirit or your body." Bane, The Dark Knight Rises.

Sorry, The Dark Knight Rises as been on HBO a lot the last couple of days, so that quote has been on my mind.  The San Antonio Spurs may be broken.  Their spirit may be broken from letting a five point lead (and their fifth championship) slip away with less than 30 seconds to go in regulation.  The bodies could be broken from going all out in an overtime game that saw Tim Duncan play 44 of those 53 minutes and get his knee rolled up on.

Still, that was Game 6 and it only tied up the series.  It's entirely possible this isn't the back breaker many Spurs fans thought it to be immediately following the loss.  It hurt, but in the way a shot to the body hurts.  It puts you down for a bit, but unless it's a nice kidney shot like Miguel Cotto used to throw, it's not going to put you down for good.

The San Antonio Spurs and Miami Heat are tied 3-3 in the 2013 NBA Finals with a winner-take-all Game 7 looming tomorrow in Miami. But if LeBron James' new sneakers are any indication, the Spurs might as well skip Game 7 since Nike already has proclaimed James a two-time NBA champ.

James showed off his new kicks and from the outside they look nothing more than a pair of basketball sneakers, inside Nike has James repeating as an NBA champ.

Phoenix Suns' Jared Dudley is not hiding his feelings when it comes to the San Antonio Spurs possibly winning the NBA title this Thursday. In a nutshell, he doesn't want the Spurs to win it all.

The San Antonio Spurs were moments away from capturing title No. 5 for the franchise versus the Miami Heat in Miami in Game 6 of the NBA Finals, holding on to a 5-point lead. 

Then a three pointer by Ray Allen, missed free throws by the Spurs, and a few rebounds that did not go San Antonio's way and the Spurs saw their lead evaporate and lost in overtime, 100-103.

After the game, Manu Ginobili spoke to the press and needless to say, he was distraught over this loss. From words such as "tough moment," "we let it go," "devastated," to "it hurts," Manu clearly seems let down by the loss.

With 28.2 seconds remaining in Game 6 of the NBA Finals, the stage was set for the San Antonio Spurs to claim their fifth NBA championship, as the Spurs had the defending champion Miami Heat on the ropes with a 94-89 lead.

But as LeBron James said after the game Tuesday, there’s a reason basketball is a full 48-minutes and not 47:30 minutes.

“And you know,” said James of his teams 103-100 overtime victory, “that's why you play the game, to the final buzzer.  And that's what we did tonight.  We gave it everything that we had and more.”

For Spurs head coach Gregg Popovich, he sees a successful defensive possession as one in which the opposing team misses and your team secures the rebound. Even if the other team misses, you still have to grab the rebound to actually complete a full defensive possession.

It didn't take long for the San Antonio Spurs to get the highlights going in Game 6 of the 2013 NBA Finals courtesy of Kawhi Leonard.

Early in the first quarter, the Spurs were out on the fast break when Tony Parker found a streaking Leonard heading to the rim. Only one thing... Mike Miller was standing in his way. 

However, Leonard made short work of Miller's weak attempt at defense and threw down a vicious dunk on Miller. Check it out.

The San Antonio Spurs (15-4) will look to win their fifth NBA title tonight in Miami as they face the Heat (14-7) in Game 6 of the NBA Finals in Miami.

The Spurs are coming off a 114-104 win over the Heat in Game 5 in San Antonio to take a 3-2 series lead. Manu Ginobili made his first postseason start since and tallied 24 points and 10 assists. Tony Parker had 26 and 5 assists while Danny Green continued his hot shooting finishing with 24 points, including 6 more three-pointers and now has 25 in the series. Miami was led by LeBron James' 25 points in the loss.

And as the Spurs look to walk away with title No. 5 in franchise history tonight, here are five things to watch for during tonight's game:

• Miami head coach Erik Spoelstra has compiled a 31-9 (.775) career home record during postseason play

• The Heat are a perfect 6-0 after a loss during the postseason.

Through four playoffs series this postseason, the San Antonio Spurs have now only lost four games total. Sweeps in the opening round and Western Conference Finals mean the Spurs’ only losses have come at the hands of the Golden State Warriors and the Miami Heat.

4 losses.

The Spurs will look to end the playoffs tonight with that same number as they enter a crucial Game 6 in Miami.

There’s nothing easy about closing out a series on the road, but the Spurs have been here before and have a 100 percent success rate in closeout games on the road.

With the San Antonio Spurs ahead 3-2 in the NBA Finals over the Miami Heat, it’s safe to begin looking at who a potential Finals MVP for the series could be if the Spurs win the title in six or seven games, or the Heat force a seventh game and win the championship.

The numbers provided below come from NBA.com/stats are only taken from the averages through the five NBA Finals games.

If the Spurs win the Championship

• Danny Green: 18 points (10.6 FGA), 66% shooting from 3-point range, 1.6 blocks

“Danny Shoot Ball” is what Spurs head coach Gregg Popovich said about Green back in early January, and that’s exactly what Green’s continued to do at an even higher rate through five games in the Finals.
