The Official 2013 NBA Finals Thread: San Antonio Spurs vs Miami Heat

[stewie griffen]

I'd love to see what Diaw could do if he was in decent shape, tremendous passer and played solid, smart defense on LeBrone.

He has a hamburger... good luck

Danny Green's 3pt numbers:

Total: 25-38 (65.8%)
Catch-and-shoot: 23-35 (65.7%)
Open: 18-24 (75%)
Contested: 7-14 (50%)

That's 10.8ppg on open threes.

A short clip below that I took near 3Q time. Quite crappy, but if anyone cares it gives a brief perspective from sitting with the common folk. Where the Manu love was strong.



Did they show the giant fathead cutouts of LeBron crying on TV? They were plentiful in the crowd, very funny.

this article has assploded my mind

PATTY Mills may not be playing tomorrow in Game Six of the NBA Championship for San Antonio against Miami but the Boomers' point guard has no doubt about its importance.
"This is the one," he said, the Spurs leading 3-2 in the best-of-seven championship series against the might of LeBron James, Dwyane Wade, Chris Bosh and the reigning champion Heat.
"I think if we want to win it, it has to be this one.

o rly?

+ the heat just aren't that good when you take away the top 2 players.

Ray would love it, he'd get like 50 shots.

Five years today was one of the sweetest sporting moments of my life.

Personally I think it's important they get off to a good start.

i agree. silence the late incoming crowd

you know in footy when team XYZ kicks the first goal, the commentator will always say "that's the start they wanted". it is facepalm and orly rolled up in 1.

"that's the start they wanted". it is facepalm and orly rolled up in 1.

I just imagined that in Cometti's voice. Adds veracity to your statement

Here's my take:

- Diaw stepping up. With patty out of the finals with an "infected toe", it was diaws chance to shine. Everyone is aware of his awesome all round game. Remember he was a trip doub machine at PHX. Diaw is getting minutes now as a point forward. Doesnt need to complete with patty for mins now.
- expect miami to win game 6. game 7 will go the same way.
- game 5 was emotional for the spurs club. i think they have spent their petrol/gas tickets.

What does Mills have to do with Diaw? Diaw was ahead of Mills in the rotation...Patty was on towel swinging duty. Diaw isn't even playing as a point forward, there is no such position as a point forward anyway. D

yeah but diaw has given them a legitimate guard option that has extinguished mills chances (even if he wasnt injured)

Oh laaaawd

 

[djrossie16]

I was under the impression once Parker strained the hamstring Patty's chances were done due to Pop wanting extra cover on defense with DeColo. This Patty injury has muddied the waters a bit in this regard.

What the hell are you talking about? lol when has Diaw played the guard spot in the playoffs? Do you even watch the games? Diaw has been playing the 4 and 5 spot, he HAS NOT played as a guard...at all.

sorry i shouldnt have said guard before. more like guard duties.

he can take over ball handling duties at any time. it gives pop the luxury of playing spot up shooters around him. say

splitter
diaw
manu
green
neal

Guard duties? Dude, I am not going to even bother with you anymore...

 

[djrossie16]

Well he does have a history of ball handling. Definitely a bit of a poor man Lebron in this regard.

 

[stewie griffen]

Delonte West also has a history of handling the balls ;-)

Don't know who that is. David West's sister? WNBA board

What do you mean there's no such thing as a point forward? The best player in the NBA regularly plays as a point forward.

 

[LBJ6]

Got a feeling Spurs will close it out tomorrow unfortunately.

 

[footy75]

Here's my take..

Spurs play better team ball...they are a more even side
Spurs want it more. i think they play with more heart and desperation.

Having said that

I just think Miami win tomorrow. And if they win tomorrow cant see them losing game 7...

It's just hard imagining Miami losing a knock out final at home. However if anyone can do it it's the Spurs.

lol so Who knows...this series has been hard to work out. Two great teams.

 

[mitchzz]

Plz win tomorrow Miami so we can have a game 7.
