Probably less unsettling than simply picturing Birdman.

That was a great game last night.   Four missed foul shots really hurt the Spurs.

Yeah you cannot do that as Duncan and Parker and expect to win a NBA finals game.

Now that is some beautiful team basketball

Entertaining half.

Wow, Spurs can't buy a bucket and keep stepping on their own cranks.  Surprised they're still up by  13 11 9 7.

Miami totally fell apart halfway through the 4th quarter.  They made a good run up til that point, though.

What I have taken away from the first three games is Lebron has to be Superman in order for the Heat to win.  Be interesting to see if he can do it three more times.

I think that is the wrong lesson.  When Miami doesnt move the ball and play great defence they get blown out.  When they settle for one or two passes and then a shot they spend most of the game playing defence.  The Spurs use a lot of clock and move the ball quickly all of which tires out Miami.  When Miami doesnt make the Spurs work hard on defence the Spurs win by a lot.  The Spurs lost game 2 because they stopped moving the ball.  They got back to that in game 3.

Although you are correct that if Miami continues to play this style of play then Lebron will indeed have to play like Superman.

Watching the past six quarters one could say that the San Antonio Spurs have solved basketball.

Yeah, they're running circles around the Heat, plus Popovich is an awesome coach.

Holy shit.

The Heat have had a pattern the past couple of years of really stepping up when put up against the wall. Down 2-1 with 2 of the last 3 in San Antonio, they really needed this one.
They who can give up essential liberty to obtain a little temporary safety, deserve neither liberty nor safety.

There's a fine line between salvation and drinking poison in the jungle.

I'm embarrassed. I've been making the mistake of associating with you. It won't happen again. :)
