Open 3s kill me. Why collapse in the paint? The only perimeter players that can finish in paint are Gino, Parker and sometime Leonard.

Tip your hat if they make 8 ft runners and shots.
The Spurs want to pass as much as possible.
Make them one on one players.

This is exactly what they did when they made their little run, I know the Heat love flying on defense but vs a passing team sometimes you just have to take it to the playground and go one on one, call the picks and not let them beat you on stupid switch offs..
 
Re: ~~2013-2014 NBA Finals Miami Heat Vs San Antiono Spurs~~

They're shooting 76% from the floor. This is not sustainable and the Spurs are known for letting teams back in the game. Miami needs to chop this down to 10 (+/_ 2) by the end of the third and they'll have a chance in the 4th.
You said something similar in the previous series and I told you it was because that's how they play and if they continue to get the same looks then they would. This was a game they were shooting 65%. And they shoot similarly that entire series. These are fluke shots they are hitting. The Heat aren't playing defense.

You are right that they are notorious for letting teams back from leads but that's typically when their large lead is due to a in game run. This isn't a run. Its a sustained offense exploiting bad defense. Miami made their run and its still 21 point deficit. Im not sure the Heat can come back tonight.
 
Re: ~~2013-2014 NBA Finals Miami Heat Vs San Antiono Spurs~~

I see what the problem on defense is, Bosh keeps collapsing in the paint leaving his man open.. When Birdman was in there they wasn't doing that shit..
Matchups...Birdman have to guard Duncan or Splitter...


Diaw mirror Bosh's minutes...
 
Re: ~~2013-2014 NBA Finals Miami Heat Vs San Antiono Spurs~~

I don't know man. Sometimes when its your night, its your night. Only thing the Heat can do at this point is to force TOs and that goes without saying they need to play better D.

I've seen the Spurs do this so often. They seem to burn themselves out. It's extremely hard to shoot almost 80 percent of an entire game. Last time they did this (in their last series against OKC), they came back down to earth in the 3rd quarter. Plus, the opposing team usually makes some adjustments....one person can usually stay hot for an entire game...but usually not an entire team.

I said this series is going 7 and I stick by that call.. these teams are really evenly matched. I think it's going to end exactly like last year.

still 2 quarters left...lots of time for the video game squad to get back in the game :lol:

You forgot the heat game back from 27 pt blowout to win against the cavs
 
Re: ~~2013-2014 NBA Finals Miami Heat Vs San Antiono Spurs~~

van gundy said it was a good move to get chalmers out of there so he'd actually have to guard somebody...

that's never a good sign where taking out the pg is better for your team

Chalmers been a space cadet since the first round. I want to say its something personal with him but that doesnt excuse unprofessionalism.

Wade just been a turnover machine and subpar defender this finals

How Rashard Lewis been more useful than you....:lol: :lol:

still time in this game but the inattention to the three point defense continues to haunt them...
 
Re: ~~2013-2014 NBA Finals Miami Heat Vs San Antiono Spurs~~

They have 3 time outs holmes, I seen wayyyyyy too many Basketball games if they pull that off id be in awe

I'm not calling a cameback. I'm just saying that they'll likely get a chance to make this a tighter game.
 
Re: ~~2013-2014 NBA Finals Miami Heat Vs San Antiono Spurs~~

Tony brothers ref'ing so don't expect the heat to get any whistles

17 FT for SA to 7FT for the heat

Birdman on Duncan is a long night for Birdman and a lot of fouls and early penalty for Miami. :smh:


Man I cant believe we have a great half of offensive excellent preempted by this bullshit Sterling nonsense. :smh:


No analysis, no commentary, no comic relief, nothing. Awful decision NBA.

You said something similar in the previous series and I told you it was because that's how they play and if they continue to get the same looks then they would. This was a game they were shooting 65%. And they shoot similarly that entire series. .

In that game, they were getting ALL layups. I think you in particular even said it's easy to shoot 70 percent when you're getting layups so it wouldn't change. They came out and barely shot 40 percent in the 3rd quarter. I actually quoted your post and reminded you of what I said when the quarter finished. I was actually thinking about that when I made that post.

Teams often come out cold after the half-time break and the opposing team makes an adjustments. These teams are too evenly matched. They'll only continue to shoot like that if Miami packs up and quits.
 
Re: ~~2013-2014 NBA Finals Miami Heat Vs San Antiono Spurs~~

Rio line, 0 points, 1 assist and 1 rebound..:smh:
 
Re: ~~2013-2014 NBA Finals Miami Heat Vs San Antiono Spurs~~

The youth of the spurs killing this ninjas...

Let's be real, Green and Leonard killed the first half...
Along with Wade and Rio

And they shot 75% in the 4th and won that game.

I have no problem with Bosh in the game, but he has to win that Diaw match up especially with Duncan on the bench..

Well what do you want 2's from Duncan or 2's and 3's from Green and Leonard

This isn't a run. Its a sustained offense exploiting bad defense. .

Coach Spo will get in their asses. They'll feel embarrassed about being outplayed like this in the third quarter and Spo will decide to give something and take something away. I think he's going to push out and take away the 3 point shot. They shot 70 percent from three. You have to pick your poison and I would rather Duncan kill me in the paint than having multiple people getting clean looks outside.
 
Re: ~~2013-2014 NBA Finals Miami Heat Vs San Antiono Spurs~~

Im shocked Rio still got a Heat jersey on after this first half.
 
Re: ~~2013-2014 NBA Finals Miami Heat Vs San Antiono Spurs~~

Good start by the heat let's keep this going
 
Re: ~~2013-2014 NBA Finals Miami Heat Vs San Antiono Spurs~~

Miami's shooting really well and is getting a lot of open threes

San Antonio goes through scoring funks and periods where they forget about Duncan.

Miami will come back.
 
Re: ~~2013-2014 NBA Finals Miami Heat Vs San Antiono Spurs~~

Spurs are packing the paint with their big men daring them to shoot outside, Bosh and Lewis need to loosen them up with the three point bombs, then LeBron should be free to attack the hole. They must be smart and patient and take what the defense is giving them...

Gotcha. Refs got a quick whistle tonight though. Duncan inside might get ugly too.

Yup. Happened in game two down the stretch.
