    I am giving you the reason people hate the spurs, because they are a successful team and we aren't.

    Is a double elimination possible?

    I was about to complain about the lack of Houston prescence until the very end.

    And that's why I don't hate them and because they're boring.

    Is Justin Bieber going through a Wigger phase right now? If he dressed like that in high school would he not get his ass kicked?

    Put Mike Breen and JVG to commentate, with Chuck, Kenny, Shaq, and EJ for pre, half, and post game show. And you have an amazing Finals coverage. But instead we get the espn crew. sigh.

    If San Antonio does win this series...the Houston Rockets would be the last Texas team that would still have to meet Miami in the finals...would be hella interesting if the Rockets did manage to snag Howard..:) just sayin...

    That's why the Spurs must win.

    It is our destiny to beat the heat in the 2014 finals.

    It's funny how some people's opinions change from series to series.

    During the ECF: "The pacers are the worst matchup for Miami"

    Now: "The Spurs are just like the Pacers but better"

    Not that everyone picking SA believes that, but I've seen many people base their opinion of how to beat Miami on whatever the team playing Miami does.

    Had a discussion with a guy after game 7 who picked the Bulls series to go 7, said Indiana would win in 6, and is now picking SA in 6.

    His reasons... Bulls are too physical, Indy is too big and too physical. You could make a case for those because that's the only way you can have a chance against Miami. But now, he says the spurs will beat the heat because "they can spread miami's defense out"
    Seriously!? The LAST thing you wanna do to Miami is spread them out! Miami wants to spread out, run, penatrate, and kick out to open 3 point shooters. As a Lebron fan, I would be thrilled if SA tried to spread Miami out.

    This will be a good series though! Won't be shocked if it goes 7, but I'll take Miami in 6.

    Problem is that the Spurs wont let you spread them out either...And you have to be smoking if you think Pop is just gonna let Lebron just post up all day...lol...Lebron, Wade and Bosh have to make distance shots...
    Miami;s greatest weapon isnt set offense...but rather pressuring the ball and delaying offensive execution...the traps they set, are ridiculous and they have speed covering any short outlet pass...Expect a lot of traps of Tony Parker out of the gate...they will make someone else initiate the offense...
