Game Thread: NBA FINALS!!! SA vs MIA

[Shanemansj13]

See how much Lebron changes the game

 

[Shoveyjoe]

Fun fact. This is the exact face I had when you said the Pacers would win the east.

 

[Black Adam]

People claiming some AC conspiracy need to stfu and stop embarrassing yourselves.

 

[bksballer89]

k, i'll be serious for 1 second...

YOU wouldn't have gotten excited if the Heat had won the game...?

Noticed I said 1 home win right? If the spurs lose game 2 this means nothing. I wasn't excited when the heat won game 1 at home against Brooklyn.

 

[Shanemansj13]

Do you ever do anything but make excuses?

If the Spurs didnt turn the ball over 24 times they would have blown the Heat put before the cramp

The best player in the world didn't play the last 7:31. C'mon, it isn't an excuse, it is just unfortunate. Onto Game 2, nothing you can do about it.

 

[Black Adam]

but hey, at least they ain't blaming the refs...this time...

 

[Logicallylethal]

It's one game. Game 2 Sunday. Nothing else matters. Let the imbeciles who were nowhere to be seen on this thread talk. They're only making themselves look dumber.

If the Heat dont miss a bunch of shots and Chalmers plays decent they win..... Oh wait it doesnt go both ways?

 

[Andresrenee]

Just wanted to stop by and say fuck Miami.

I get it...being the second best team in LA has gotten to you and made you bitter.

The SPURS were 62-0.
The SPURS were the #1 overall seed.
The SPURS have won an NBA record 8 consecutive home playoff games by 15+ points,
The SPURS have never lost a game 1 in the Finals.
The SPURS have won 11 consecutive game 1s overall.


Can the Spurs at least get 1% credit for winning?
as opposed to simply saying it was 99% the air conditioning?

 

[bksballer89]

Magically when LeBron went out the spurs (especially green) started getting WIDE open looks

Just wait, any minute someone will claim that the refs broke the AC.

k, i'll give you that. it DOES go the crapper if they lose game 2. guess we'll see IF that happens...

 

[TurnUpTheHeat]

I'm sure he was hydrated like he normally does. Unless he knew hours in advance that the AC was going to be out, there was no way to prepare.

Exactly.
Spurs won fair and square because both teams had to play under the same conditions.
However, it was apparent to anyone with eyes that the Heat were gassed.
They had no energy left to play Heat basketball on either end of the court.

Anyway. How is it possible for a city to be so unprepared for an event like the NBA Finals?
I realized what a shit hole it was when I went there last year.
Was debating whether to go for a game later in the series this year.
After watching this, I think I'll El Paso.

He changes the entire game.

no

 

[Sportsman]

Listen, HOrns. I'm not screaming conspiracy. But to ignore the fact that LeBron going out changed the game is ignorant. Conspiracy? NO. Did it make a HUGE difference yes.

I also agree, winner of game 2 takes the series.

Two days of rest on the schedule ends up being a blessing in disguise for the NBA.

LeBron better be on a water and bananas diet non stop

Some yams, potatoes, orange juice, salmon, tomatoes, etc. too.

 

[Shanemansj13]

Without Lebron, Miami gets swept.

 

[BOTSLAYER]

At the SA had to play in the heat too people if you are losing changing the scenario won't hurt because you are already losing.

Sorry Botslayer but you are dead wrong. It is the combination of drinking water and getting ice on the legs that prevents cramps from developing not just ice on the legs which is what I posted. Ice does help the process but won't completely stop them. You have to drink water and do the ice. Make sure you get the whole picture before you respond with what you responded with.

Icing has minimal affect on prevention and is used primarily as a treatment of pain rather than prevention.

Nutrition and hydration = preparation. He fucked up and has no one to blame but himself.

You would really be surprised about how little pro athletes actually know about nutrition and hydration.

He has a personal chef for as long as I have known and nobody expects to play in 88 degrees.
