Because they're acquired for and Pop utilises them to only play to their strengths. Kawhi for example, can't create anything himself and struggles outside 22 feet, but isn't ever made or expected to, instead he's a defender, energy rebounder, corner 3 point shooter.
That's a brave one. Spurs are in driver's seat right now. I am actually worried about Lebron and Wade. This tandem should have been dominating instead of being dominated on the road.
It's all about if they can win one in SA. They would win games 6 and 7. Odds are low that SA will win in Miami again. Just like odds were low that the Heat could take 2 in SA. What we're seeing trending on the interwebs is classic knee-jerk reactions. OMG THEY'RE DONE!!1! Lerbon is a choker!2! What's your prediction for the rest of the series? To make it simple, we'll say that TP is healthy (BIG IF).
It's too bad the Spurs didn't get up on Mike Miller. It would have been nice to see them win by at least 45!
I still think Heat in 6, but my confidence is shaky. The biggest advantage the Spurs have in this series is Spoelstra vs Popovich. Given the two blowouts, this seems like a tactical battle as much as an on-court one.
Here is the issue...and Steven A said it best...The Spurs as a unit are playing superior basketball as compared to the Miami team...Minus the big three from both teams, the Spurs supporting cast has just played better basketball.. Last year's Miami team had Shane Battier step up with the Big three, but this years Miami team has sadly only been Mike Miller, an average Lebron, and decent PG play from Chalmers and Cole...thats it...this is Lebron's nightmare... However, all that being said...It would be devastating if TP cant go...or if he is hurt...Hoping for the best...I dont wanna see anyone injured for the Finals..
Being a Texans fan, I don't have much optimism when it comes to hammies. He could be limited at best.
The Heat have lost three in a row on the road and are 4-5 in their last 9 games, as compared to 8-1 for the Spurs. Maybe Parker getting hurt gives them a chance, but he wasn't much of a factor last night anyway. It's fun to watch team-oriented basketball.
Love JVG. But anyone getting sick of him hyping up Spoelstra? The guy isnt a HOF coach at all. Get's out coached constantly, despite having superior talent. And JVG puts him on the same level as a Greg Poppovich? What's he been smoking recently?
Wade is playing like he is 37 . . good in the 1st but down in the second Bosh is better but still not MAX PLAYER level As long this continues . . . the Heat will struggle. Esp Next Year. DWADE will be older and slower. Rocket River
Just to let you know...one coach isnt gonna rip on another coach...just saying...that is just not professional...and I dont really remember JVG saying that Spo was on Pop's level...
probably is feels good man at least hes no embarrassing himself in the finals, you know for the most part he embarrasses the other team....like in 2011
