So the NBA can stretch out the series. It is terrible.

by **InTenSity** 2014-06-06, 09:42

Are they in a competition with the NHL to see who can make it to the 4th of July?

Why isn't hockey finished in April or at the latest, May?

Cause the NBA marketing geniuses think Sunday is better than Saturday for ratings. What dumbasses.

And how bout Danny Green? Killed MSU in 2009 and now kills the Heat.

The fact that MSU lost to a team with Lawson, Green and Hansbrough is kind of comforting tOfficial NBA Finals Thread - Page 2 2599972566

Lol Leonard never touched LBJ on that And 1

by BtothejizA 2014-06-10, 21:30

I want LeBron to score 40 for the rest of the series and for the Spurs win. Miami is the bandwagon capital of the world next to LA and I hope LBJ goes back to Cleveland.

Right now Dan Dakich would be saying 'water always finds it's level'

Bill Russell would've made that block and kept the rebound.

After many years playing fantasy basketball, Boris Diaw is looking more comfortable than I can ever recall seeing him.

Jeff Van Gundy's turning into a grumpy old man on the air. Also, I think he kinda called Mark Jackson a pussy earlier.

Jackson defending that Chalmers flop was weak.

Van Gundy and Jackson calling out Heat fans!!

by **Turtleneck** 2014-06-11, 08:17

Just wanted to check and see if there were any electrical failures not discussed during the game that caused Miami to lose? Or was this a legitimate loss?

by **tig ol bitties** 2014-06-11, 08:19

become a cliche at this point, but man when SA moves the ball, it is something awesome to watch.

Not cliche. Pretty awesome to watch.

It does get them in trouble sometimes. A little too much passing. A few times in the 2nd half last night, Duncan just needed to go straight up with ball but decided to look to pass out of the post.

Miami ain't losing the series, the Spurs aren't going to be shooting like that ever again. Or even close to that.

The Spurs actually shot at a better percentage from the perimeter in Game 1 than Game 3. In Game 1, the Spurs shot 52% from 3pt range compared to 45% in Game 3. After everything settled down in Game 3, the Spurs finished the game shooting 59% from the field. They shot just below 59% in Game 1.

You say they will not shoot like that again, but by the time the game ended the numbers tell us they have done it twice in three games. They will not have anything close to the record setting first half from Game 3, but it appears that they have the ability to shoot a very high percentage against this Heat team.

Joey Crawford is reffing game 4. Put your money on the Heat to win that one.

I've always believed if everyone one knows the refs name, that means they're a terrible ref. It's the guys you never heard of that do a good job.

Crawford is a disgrace and he should have been booted from the league years ago.

Yeah the posters who say the NBA is just bunch of guys going one on one should take note.

Also what exactly is Juwann Howards' role with the Heat besides wearing a suit behind the bench....he hasn't played in several years but always seems to be hanging around.

I just wiki'd it.

He's an assistant coach starting this year.

Guy won 2 championship rings with the Heat. Did he even suit up last year?

by **Death Roe** 2014-06-11, 16:53

Juwan Howard is an assistant coach with the Heat now. He got rings for 2012 and 13.

by **Turtleneck** 2014-06-11, 17:45

His role is to justify Jalen Rose's love affair with the Heat.

The Heat aren't even making it interesting. This thing is all but over.

by Rodeo Burger 2014-06-12, 22:11

Wow, I just flipped over. Spurs up by 20 with 1:33 left before half time.

by **StylesGShmooth** 2014-06-12, 22:12

Yeah, this one may be over in 4. If the Heat don't rally quickly, this series is over.
