Surprisingly Stephen A. has been on the money this year with predictions.

I dunno about 30 though, I'll be happy with a W even if it means 1 point.

Only way that happens is if Miami gets off to a ridiculous start on both ends like they did in Game 4 and the Spurs give no fucks. Pop pulls the starts mid 3rd in a 18pnt game and calls it a night.

I don't think its in the Spurs DNA to give no fucks in a possible close out game. I expect a close game till late 3rd quarter when Ducan/Parker rest, that's when we blow it open.

I feel like Battier would shut down Green. He's always done well taking spot up shooters out of their game.

Chalmers on Parker
Wade on Kawhi
Lebron on Splitter/Diaw/Neal

Gut prediction: Since the hot trend of this Finals is neither team winning B2B games, I think it gets bucked tonight. Spurs win and close out the series. Most are expecting Miami to win tonight and for this trend to continue. All the Joe Publics are thinking this and the bookmakers are going to make a killing tonight when San Antonio wins.

Magic's got a surprisingly strong hairline. What a waste of a good head of hair. You should only go bald when you're actually bald. /Seinfeld

Fuck man this game is so huge. The Heat better not get too confident and think "We've been down before and always respond, we'll do it again easy" or "We're at home so we got this". They need to seriously play as hard and as fast as they did in Game 4. I'm tired of seeing them attack the basket so much after a loss, then wander around the perimeter after a win. They need to ram that ball down their throats from the opening tip. I don't know what I'll do if we go out there, start with a weak ass 1st quarter, and put ourselves in a catch up game again.

Danny Green is shooting 50% on contested 3's. I'm sure Battier can get that number down to regular levels, but then you're playing Battier on offense.

But it hasn't happened yet. You are home too. Role players play better at home. The Spurs have been carried by one star and a role player or two each game. Last game withstanding, the Spurs' big 3 have been held in check in a sense. I also doubt Manu will go off again.

Have faith man.

Yeah I mean, they didn't lose consecutive games in all of the 2011 playoffs before the Finals. Then they went on to lose 3 in a row in games 4, 5, AND 6. Game 6 was in Miami so I don't know how important of a factor that is.

Game day! Time to prove what this team is really made up. We made our bed, so it's time to sleep in it. Gotta play with a burning desire to win. Let's go HEAT! PEACE.
