1 down, 3 to go...

Game 1 3 more to go.

Terrible defense by LeBron on that play. Surprised the commentors didn't pick up on it. If he keeps his feet, no chance Parker gets that shot off. He took himself out of the play.

This was a great game though, hopefully the rest are as good as this one.

USUALLY not the way it works, but we can hope...

yeah, you'd've thought he'd hold his ground on that one. heat of the moment i guess...

Tony Parker is the best PG in the game right now.

In his defense there was only like 1 or 2 seconds left when Parker fell down, Parker made an incredible play.

Hopefully, the result of this game will get into LeBron's head.
Go, Spurs, Go!

as a Lakers fan this pains me to say it, but beat those arrogant bastards...

sometimes better to be lucky than good...

I'm almost positive he was trying to bank that. Bank shot from that angle is usually money if you're a good shooter.

gotta say though that the Spurs played some hellified "D" for the last quarter...

 

[Lakers+USC=#1]

Wade and Lebron was a no show in the 4th.

Spurs- Tony Parker Win's ( Winner ) Game 1 Playoffs Miami Heat Lose - YouTube

 

[Black Adam]

btw credit to Kawhi Leonard. dude's a better defender than i thought...

 

[OutlawImmortal]

I just wish 48 hours would pass right now!!! Hahahaha

GO SPURS GO.

Some thoughts:

1. The better TEAM won tonight. Miami might be better in game #2, but the Spurs were the better team in game 1.

2. The Spurs were very rusty and still won. They will not be missing those wide open 3 pointers that often in the Spurs system.

3. Lebron has to either be superhuman or Wade/Bosh need to add something.

4. Kawahi Leonard is a younger, longer, and quicker Bruce Bowen.

GO SPURS GO

Wade was Miami's most efficient scorer tonight, yet he only averaged 1 shot in the 4th. I think he needed to be more aggressive, same goes for LeBron.

 

[piss-tons]

Kawhi Leonard is San Antonio's best kept secret. I said it after game 7 of the ECF that the Miami Heat defense would have trouble with San Antonio. The traps and hard doubles that generate so many TOs for the Heat aren't going to work against the Spurs. It might work against teams like the Bulls or Pacers, but it won't against the Spurs. Some people thought the Pacers matched up best with the Heat because of their bigs, but they forgot that the Spurs probably have the best offense in the league.

If a team can get through a trapping Memphis team, they can deal with Miami's traps no problem.

I still wouldn't say that the Spurs have all of these advantages over Miami, though. Miami's athleticism should eventually prevail in a long series with this tempo. I just think that Miami looked a bit tired in the 4th quarter and the Spurs looked fresh.

The Bulls and the Pacers are the 2 most physical teams in the league and Lebron and Dwade take huge blows every game. This was the scenario we needed for a good finals.
