spuds just stayed afloat vs the heat keeping it between a 4-6 point deficit and ramped up their defense for 5 minutes and saw chalmers brick the side of the backboard as parker turned on the afterburners

I said it before it started. San Antonio will not close on the road. The only way I see them winning is closing it in 5.
We all saw desperate Heat in game 7, and it is a scary sight. The energy from the crowd really helps when you play like that

spurs offense is far better than the pacers.they move the ball and move off the ball really well.heat defense works best when they are set.

sweep?!?! Really??

They've swept a Lebron James team led before.

nothing from last night would tell us that it will be a sweep. More that this will be a very close series, with games decided by single digits.

Finally caught up, I'm aghast that there are some who actually consider Kobe a better player than prime-Shaq. You don't know how good prime-Shaq was unless you were cheering against him.
Anyways, I'm glad that the Spurs didn't double. I was hoping they stay man-to-man with smart switches, and the correct gameplan was to make someone other than Lebron beat them. I'm hoping Spo falls for the bait and sics Lebron on Tony from the opening tip to gas the man-child out. Scared me a bit when Ray the Turncloak started hitting some threes, but that didn't last

The Heat are fine if they made it this far, they just got out coached by Pop and Parker. I've been saying this for a long time Erik Spoelstra is a bad coach for the Heat.

I love how prime Bosh has become Mo Williams and RobinWade is Delonte. That ain't no birthmark on Wade's mouth doe.
I'm really anxious to see the adjustments made in game 2 on both sides. Game 1 was the first time the teams really went at each other this season so I think Game 2 will be a good indication of how the rest of the series plays out.
Of course, this was not the case at all during the Heat-Pacers series so I may be totally wrong.

SA is 7-1 on the road this year in the playoffs, and their one loss was in OT. Yeah, they don't give a damn about opposing home crowds.
And closing Game 7 against a younger Pacers team is vastly different than a veteran Pop, Timmy, and TP.
I want to see some studies on whether Valtrex offsets the effects of HGH.
You realize by pushing the whole "Lebron doesnt make teammates better" thing, you are just making what he is personally doing look even better right?
Up to a point. That's why he's being labeled as the greatest regular season player of all time.

It's incredible looking back and seeing how bad those Cavs teams were. Jamison and Mo being the #2 and #3 options on a playoff team looks nearly impossible, those guys aren't even 6th man good.
Not even 6th man good? You must be smoking.

lol, the Jazz were best this year when Mo was hurt and the Jazz were playing Jamaal Tinsley at PG.
LEBRON GETS ALL THE CREDIT
Are we discussing 2008-2010 Mo Williams or 2013 hurt 30 years old Mo Williams?
Vaggy had 50 posts about Kobe last night, and you still made that statement? C'mon bruh.
I've already given my opinion on that, and I'm actually going to do something to help the problem!
You on the other hand want to turn this thread into your own playground, you selfish monster.

Eh, those teams were built around LeBron. Even when you look at the Heat in the playoffs now, they're at their best when it's just LeBron and dudes knocking down jumpers around him. This was also before the days everyone got it in their heads that teams need multiple superstars to win a championship.
Cavs had the best record in the regular season a couple times with LeBron dancing and clowning every other night like they were unbeatable. They were favored to win a number of series in the playoffs that they ended up losing. Looking back, they're only made out to be a joke now because LeBron couldn't do it with them.

I like you sir
That's only half true doe.. Jamaal passing was always better than Mo playing stupid, but his total lack of shooting ability hurt the offense just as much as stupid Mo did.
Mo at his best the Jazz were pretty good.

The Spurs were the better team.
That OP set the tone for last night's post game discussion. You have no one to blame but yourself!
It's not my fault your skin is as thick as Lebron's!

Both. He's worse now, but he's never been particularly good.
He's always been hurt as well.
Good Mo only showed up 1 out of every 4 or 5 games though.

Always felt like he showed up against us :/
One of the things that I'm really enjoying as a Spurs fan right now is how close the team is to each other. You can tell they like playing for/with each other and that they really want to get Timmy ring number 5

I seriously can't fathom how Manu can successfully make these types of passes so consistently: http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=gSRk7qrwDNA
