A few thoughts and feelings...
- Danny Green is unconscious. We are seeing the greatest three point shooting display in the history of the NBA Finals. It's not just how many he has hit either. Sure he has hit, what 25? But he hasnt taken 70 threes to hit that. He is 25 from 38 isnt he or something like that. Ridiculous.
- Also staying with Green, how does he keep getting looks, how have the Heat not figured that out. For me, he is the Finals MVP if the Spurs win Game 6 and he plays well. Duncan close second then Parker.
- Boris Diaw while guarding LeBron. LeBron goes 1-8. WTF?
- Sticking with Diaw, the boy can pass. Gave them huge minutes off the bench.
- Manu starting was a great move by Pop, got him involved early and it snowballed. 24 points and 10 assists, vintage Manu. If he plays like that in Game 6, the Spurs might actually win this series.
- Mike Miller since starting has not scored a point and has gotten into foul trouble in both games. Back to the bench with you, back I say! Or keep starting cos it aint helping the Heat.
- Norris Cole cant guard Parker.... at all.
It's a very strange NBA Finals though, outside of Game 1, they have all been blowouts. It's difficult to explain why, I mean they are pretty much the best two teams in the league. They should be hard fought close games where one or two possessions or big shots decide each game. Instead it's just blow out after blow out.
In closing, in this thread I voted for the Spurs in 6 but that was with my heart because you just have to love TP, Manu and the big fundamental. But I still think the Heat will win games 6 and 7. The Spurs have to get game 6. If they dont game 7 will be a walk in the park. Game 6 is their chance to close it out. But in every game after a win in this series, they just havent shown up. So it aint looking likely.
