Game Thread: NBA FINALS!!! SA vs MIA

[TurnUpTheHeat]

That corner 3 was on Parker
The missed screen was on Parker
The turnover was on Parker


I think he is really hurt... He was unable to play down the stretch....reduced to shooting long jumpers


Missing those freethrows was the killer.
I don't why the NBA doesn't allow a pinch hitter for freethrows.


Parker could barely breathe, but he still has to go shoot after a thuggish dirty play
Duncan is a so-so freethrow shooter and streaky....but Parker was hobbled.

The 4 missed FT's IMO turned the whole game around.


I honestly wasn't even sure it should have been flagrant, let alone thuggish.

Heat take game 3 before Spurs take game 4.

Bks watch ball from the 1980s an 90s. Those Ted would never allow this to go on

 

[Black Adam]

You think?

all the time...

Well, my guarantee lives on.
The Big 3 won't lose 4 road consecutive road games to any team in a series.

And no, I'm not saying we can't lose at home.
These 2 teams are as even as you get and both know how to win road games.

ya think...?

Shame man if the dude drives you have to put him on the line, but make it painful. Spurs looked like Sallys out there

Easier said then done. But you have to make him shoot the jumpshot. They had the strategy, Lebron was just better tonight

It's amazing how that one dirty play by the Heat changed the game for them and basically won them the game

Nobody is perfect

would that include LeBron...?

would that include LeBron...?

He doesn't count, he is a god

I understand what you're saying but the Spurs want to give James space. They did the same thing last yr. They look at is as I rather James beat us on his mid range jump shot instead of beating us by driving to the basket?

It is the only strategy and you can't double him.

The SPURS are the worst game 2 team in the league.


They inexplicably lose more game 2s than any other top team.


It would not be a Spurs playoff run without a game 2 loss.

How did it win the game? It gave the Spurs 4 free throws and let's not forget Parker hit a 3 later in the game to put the Spurs up 3.

If the Spurs hit at least 3 of those 4 fts, they're up at least 5

They already lost game 2 back in the Dallas series if I remember correctly

At points tonight LeBron still looked tired, good news is by Tuesday he will be far enough removed from cramps to have that be a distant memory

Kawhi's play ain't helping, either...

Quit .
It wasn't that bad, Parker didn't even want to leave the game.

Also consider, if the Spurs dont fuck with the AC, they could easily be down 0-2.

 

[podsox]

chalmers had 5 fucking pts.... big L

 

[Logicallylethal]

This is the very definition of two teams being evenly matched. A true heavyweight fight where each team takes turn trading blows

1st quarter Spurs outscore the Heat by 7
2nd quarter Heat answer back by outscoring the Spurs by 7
3rd quarter both teams explode for 34 and 35 pts
4th quarter Heat edges em by 3 to seal the win

Miami 37 fgs made - San Antonio 36 fgs made

Miami 38 rebs - San Antonio 37 rebs

Miami 13 tos - San Antonio 11 tos


You can't ask for a better Finals series to watch
