If the first game was "close" and the 2nd game was a blowout doesn't that say something about the Spurs?

Yeah. I am in agreement with both of y'all. Minutes got to get reduced when green is play that well or stop him from being a play maker.

killed them

even giving other folks turnovers cause of his shitty play. how many times you gonna pass it to someone in the corner to be double teamed with the shot clock at 1?

you passed the shit when the shot clock was at 3

yeah even in the first half, miami went on runs or took the lead when fuck up entered the game

he couldnt dribble
he couldnt defend
he turned the ball over
he wasnt paying attention...which gave parker turnovers he didnt deserve
and he took some more awful threes which werent in rhythm

dude was terrible!

i know we shouldnt say this because he is only one player

but he is responsible for this loss

SA has to now try to take 2/3 atleast in SA...

When the NBA Finals is tied 1-1, the game 3 winner has gone on to win 28 of those 32 series (87.5 percent)

That block by Lebron, defensively, changed the game. That dunk would've given the spurs a offensive boost. But Lebron stopped it

Those threes were keeping the spurs in the game. Thing is Spo did the right thing and not show his adjustments until the half. 3qtr miami's rotation was on point and they were running the spurs off the line and randomly switching on the pick and roll. Miami got this in five. You can only rely on a few 3rd stringers, d-league players and an old west coast version of KG for so long.

Re: ~~Miami Heat vs San Antonio - 2013 NBA Finals - (Spurs 1 - 0) ~~

ANOTHER fuckup by Manu. Instead of setting for the wide open corner 3 after the inbound as the play calls for he cuts to the basket and leaves Duncan hanging. Easily one of the dumbest players ive ever watched in my life.



Resulting in yet ANOTHER 5point swing for Miami.



two idiotic plays by Manu resulting in two 5point swings for Miami.... guess what the score is???

Spurs had a one point with 3 and change remaining in Q3. AFter Manus 2 5point swing turnovers they entered Q4 with 10point deficit. Pop starts the 4th with a incredibly shitty lineup of Manu, Splitter, Neal, TP, Leonard. Manu is on Bron and Neal is on Miller.Bron and Miller score to make the 10point lead a 15point lead and thats all she wrote.

Didn't help Miami in 2011 did it? But they're a team that constantly defies the odds.

However, I think they will win 2 in San Antonio and finish them off in 6

Thats what i was saying the first game. Duncans 12points in the 2nd qtr kept the spurs in the game. it wasnt really the 12points but each time the heat would go on a little run Duncan would hit and stall the momentum.

Just stating the odds. Typically game 3 is major.

I actually think they need win 2 in SA. I don't think they want to come back home needing to win both games.

this is the thing about san antonio. When there winning theyre winning. but when they're losing its a rap. look at the last three years. nothing change except now theyre playing one of the best teams they've ever played in the playoffs.

That was after the Manu fuck ups in the 3rd. Spurs took the lead at one point. When Manu got it the game the offensive flow became as erratic as he was playing. Bad shots from the spurs gave Miami better oppurtunities in which they capitalized. Green should have not came out. Manu plays shitty defense to. Spurs was hanging around like they were suppose to, but Manu fucked it up with his wild offense and bad defense. All happened in the last 4 minutes in the 3rd.

Manu fucked up but where was duncan? parker was sporadic. It was green and some second chance possession that kept them in the game. If you really wanna blame someone blame Pop for letting them play through. He did a great job in game one calling time outs and plays to slow momentum but that theory of letting them play through bit him in the ass.

nah bro.

the spurs aren't that team. that block didn't change the series cause it wasn't on duncan, ginobli, or parker.

i said they'd bounce back.

now we'll see what's what

Didn't matter who it was on the fact that Bron had a shitty first half and to come back and swat that shit clean all ball going up for a dunk?

Fam after the the Heat blew the doors open and what happen? Bron second half shooting was %50 FG

Plus everybody stepped up.

Miami was already up by 19 at that point. That didn't turn the game around. That was just an exclamation point. It was already over at this point.

the only people who had good first half were role players for both sides.

tonight was just their night. every shot was falling.

and ppl keep pointing to the 3 point shooting keeping spurs in the game.. same can be said about game 1.

game 1 turnovers killed miami

game 2 turnovers killed the spurs.

we'll see what adjustments are made game 3.

They were hanging in the game just like game one. Duncan and Parker may have not shot well, but they were not erratic. Parker turned the ball over, but their offense didnt collapse because their defense was allowing them to hang around.

It's pop's fault for trusting Manu in a time of the game where a momentum shift was near either team. The closing minutes in the 3rd pop took green out and put Manu in. Immediately he turns the ball over, take bad shoots, makes bad passes late in the shot clock, give up 3s on defense, dribble erratic....

The spurs had the lead at one point. All the spurs needed to do was finish the 3rd down 5 or with the lead. That last 4 minutes of spurs offense triggered Miami to step up the defensive pressure and offense.

In this type of game all the spurs was expected to do was give themselves a chance to win late. They did until the end if the 3rd and start if the 4th.

Re: ~~Miami Heat vs San Antonio - 2013 NBA Finals - (Spurs 1 - 0) ~~

Spo is gonna have to do something about Wade though. His perimeter defense is noodles right now. The Spurs got almost all of their 3s when he was the defender. Either he is sagging too far into the paint as opposed to just sticking with him man or he gets baited until going under the pick and it creates enough time for the player to square up and shoot once he gets the pass. It's been going on all playoffs but it's getting exploited against the Spurs... if you guys noticed, the ran occurred with Wade on the bench and it was mostly led by the perimeter defense that forced tough shots or turnovers.

The only player you Heat fans should be talking about is Chalmers bc Lebron got his points when it didn't mean anything. Maybe next game the Heat can get more fast breaks so Lebron could get some easy points and score 30 and Wade can only play 1 half.

Looks like a trade off with wade and Manu.

At least Wade put up a good amount of assists.... Manu just needs to stay on the damn bench the way he's playing

Re: ~~Miami Heat vs San Antonio - 2013 NBA Finals - (Spurs 1 - 0) ~~

I think the key for the Heat is the shooting, Allen and Miller giving you points will hurt.
After you play good defense then see that shit is mind blogging, for some players.
That's what kept Golden State in games.
S.A. packs the lane and force shooters to make shots by double/triple teaming the primary ball handlers often forcing the pass.

.

The real key is the defense. The effect is better shots in transition. It's no coincidence that they run started after Miami stepped up the defense. Miller, Allen, etc were getting good looks in transition where they were spotting up with no one around. They aren't getting those same looks in the half-court set. If Miami defends the perimeter, they win the series.
