*NBA THREAD* Abe will be missed (1 Viewer)

[shader]

Spurs had their chance to get up big on Miami. I have a feeling they missed their opportunity.

 

[R Dizzle]

This girl looks like she's 50.

Glad I'm not the only one who sees this.

 

[Dought Man]

Does Diaw get a SI cover if the Spurs win?? What a performance. Why Lebron doesnt just take the ball right at him is beyond me... he stops and just fires up fade away jumpers against the most out of shape player in the NBA.

 

[got_nugs]

Early notes-

Heat 8-0 run with Wade on bench.

Pop benches Duncan/Parker, only down 2.

Battier been saving the makes for the right time.

 

[Raider Nation]

The insight provided by those in-game coach interviews is staggering.

 

[got_nugs]

Why on earth does Wade take that shot early in the clock?

 

[Dought Man]

Dwayne Wade has really kepy SA in the series.

 

[Dought Man]

James just cant even get a minute to rest. This team is lost with Chalmers, Wade and Allen making decisions with the ball.

 

[R Dizzle]

Wade is the Heat's kryptonite.

 

[NutterButter]

Please Wade, do the right thing and pretend to hurt your knee. Make it easy for Spo.

Like Cleveland all over again.

 

[coyote5]

Pop should just let Manu foul out.

I think I'm rooting for him to break his ankle.

Clean break of course, I'm not an #######.

 

[got_nugs]

Is Chalmers the only guy that gets it? Drive at Duncan, he's got 2 fouls.

 

[Dought Man]

Lebron, "just browsing til we get down big"

 

[Alex P Keaton]

Wade is the Heat's kryptonite.

Wade is playing better than LeBron so far

 

[Dought Man]

There will never be another superstar like Lebron. He is just an odd cat.. does nothing the easy way. Fades in an out of huge games... has great 5 minute stretches and then dissapears for quarters and halves. So strange...he looks tight again.

Spo knows he only has 2 quarters before Wade shuts it down for the night. Got to get him as many shots as he can before then.

It's those dang jumpers with 20 on the shot clock that kill me.

 

[Ghost Rider]

Ugly start, but it has to bode well for Miami that Allen and Bosh have not scored and James has only 4 pts, and they are tied. Plus, Neal and Green are missing for the Spurs.

Keep it up...you're just pissing him off.

Someone woke up.

Was.

 

[gump]

this game is on the verge of a blowout without that miracle.

 

[Mister CIA]

Neal says, "remember me?"

 

[Raider Nation]

I'm just happy for MOP. Having season tickets during the Rony Seikaly/Sherman Douglas-era could not have been easy.

Catching the middle two quarters of those games can't be as much fun as the middle two of these.

 

[Dought Man]

Spurs just sticking around until winning time... so gutsy. Not playing well, just hanging in. Heat won't be able to pull away from these guys

 

[shader]

Well you have to hand it to San Antonio, as much as Miami wants to pull away, they are hanging in there.

 

[Ghost Rider]

Gotta give the Spurs credit...every time the Heat get up 5 or 6 and look like they could break it open a bit, the Spurs grind out a bucket or two to keep it close.

thus the words "so far." thanks for trying to keep up

 

[Leeroy Jenkins]

Battier needs in over miller.

 

[Dought Man]

Ray Allen has put the ball on the floor 3 times...3 turnovers.

 

[Mark Davis]

I'm just happy for MOP. Having season tickets during the Rony Seikaly/Sherman Douglas-era could not have been easy.

Speaking as a ticket broker, he was the one huh? I get calls every year from the Dolphins, see the reps at conferences, always pitching ideas, tell them they couldn't pay me to enter the Miami market. Most teams can make deals where things at some point become attractive, you just can't given the Miami fan base.

 

[NutterButter]

Allen having a horrible game

 

[Todem]

Gotta give the Spurs credit...every time the Heat get up 5 or 6 and look like they could break it open a bit, the Spurs grind out a bucket or two to keep it close.

It's a matter of time. 3rd quarter.....I have a feeling The Heat will turn on the jets and pull away big time. It just feels like it can happen at any moment. The Spurs are hanging on for dear life.

 

[Dought Man]

Spo has done everything in his power to level the playing field for the SAS this series, and I greatly appreciate it.

 

[R Dizzle]

I had no idea you would take that personal. My bad, seriously.

 

[NutterButter]

Just keep feeding the ball to timmy just like they should've done in game 6. Bosh has 3 fouls trying to guard him. Huge talent drop off after him.

 

[Dought Man]

How do you not love this Spurs team?? Its not possible for Tim Duncan to lose an NBA Finals.

 

[Dought Man]

Lebron in love with the jumper....uh oh....

 

[Mark Davis]

Ginobili finally doing something right.

 

[R Dizzle]

Just keep feeding the ball to timmy just like they should've done in game 6. Bosh has 3 fouls trying to guard him. Huge talent drop off after him.

I feel like Andersen is doing a good job on Duncan.

 

[Dought Man]

Pop doesnt allow Spo to beat him in the 2nd half here. There is just no way. Duncan and Parker rested up... ready for the war. Spurs win this by about 7.

 

[Leeroy Jenkins]

Lebron with a pretty effortless 15. Everybody still looks tight out there.

Yeah he's their best defensive option, but a pretty big offensive liability. Once Bosh gets back in, you have to go back to Duncan.

Spurs played a bad half and yes were hanging on for deal life yet they are only down 2. They have not made a run yet, watch out when they do could sink the Heat.

 

[got_nugs]

Wade with 14 points....and a -8. He's efficient on offense and playing hella D. Still getting no love from the +/-.

Vica-versa.

Tight game.

 

[Dought Man]

Wade and Spo's use of Wade if he goes cold will probably determine this game.
