Game Thread: NBA FINALS!!! SA vs MIA

[boogiewithstu2007]

Man... This is gonna be a close series... One thing about Miami is they seem to get stronger as a series goes on so the Spurs absolutely have to get up on them early ... It's kinda scary how good Miami starts playing once they get into the series groove... Spurs have a great team concept and are very unselfish ... They won't crack ... If it's anything like last year were in for a treat... REFS DO A GOOD JOB PLEASE!!!! Just call a good series for the love of god...

Heat in 6... CL gone for 90.

Magic called it back in March:

 

[Steelboy84]

Duncan just guaranteed a finals win.

Nice bulletin board material for Miami already

So what exactly did he say?

 

[Hambombs]

Barkley just picked the Heat to win the Finals. Shit.

Whenever barkley picks your team it's not a good feeling loll

 

[Hambombs]

As for kawhi vs George. As much as I love Leonard's game I'm still taking George all day IMO

So what exactly did he say?

It wasn't a strong guarantee lol but after the game in the post game interview with Aldridge when talking about the finals, he either said we will get it done this time or we will win it this time

 

[BOTSLAYER]

Leonard over George?????

Per 36 and advanced Kawhi looks like the clear choice imo

What isn't shown in those stats is that Kawhi is playing off the bench and thus against lesser competition.

I really would take what he said with a grain of salt. Lebron would say the same thing

Wow you're right! I keep forgetting George struggles mightly down the stretch this year

 

[Hornsstampede2.0]

He said something in the middle of the interview like "We have 4 days of rest to get better and we will get it done this time."


That is the lamest and weakest guarantee. If Miami needs that.....


It would be like San Antonio putting "Not 1, Not, 2, Not, 3, Not 4...." up on their locker doors.


If the media needs to focus on stuff like that for this series, then I fear for the NBA.

 

[bksballer89]

The media won't care about it even though I did see a mention of it last night on twitter from a beat writer

Lets Go Spurs. TD leaves on top. Would be a great story

I don't think LBJ would put himself in a position to say that but it's not big deal. I wanted to get under Horns skins which I clearly did do so it was a success on my part by bringing it up

 

[bksballer89]

I think Shane Battier leaving on top after winning a 3 peat would be a better story

good one

Spurs should of won last time, lets see if they can get it done this time.

Who covered LBJ last year?

Different players. Leonard, Diaw, Ginobli, and sometimes maybe even Danny Green

Who is the best defender on LBJ. That person needs to have one heck of series defending LBJ for Spurs to have a shot.
