    My Thoughts on how to guard the smaller lineup...Insert Boris Diaw or Ginobli in the starting lineup...
    Have Ginobli guard Mike Miller, TP on Chalmers, Green on Wade, Kwahi on Lebron and TD on Bosh...

    or

    Diaw on Lebron, Kwahi on Miller, TP on Chalmers, Green on Wade and TD on Bosh

    Its really time to punish the Heat for running a smaller line up...and its time to isolate Duncan and run pick and rolls with TP on one side, and have Green and Kwahi at the perimeter..
    Next..run post plays for TD and punish them inside first...And instead of Splitter off the bench...it may be time to bring back Blair...

    You just don't understand bro. That's how good they are. They don't even have to try! They can just flip a switch and win every game they want to.

    They would've gone 82-0 if they weren't feeling sleepy during their 16 losses.

    Truly, the best team ever in history. Truly.

    The best postseason out of the 4 major sports is hockey by far. It's the most unpredictable. You should give that a chance if you want an unpredictable champion.

    You know, I've always wondered about hockey. It'd just be hard for me to follow a team and not be able to go, yknow?

    The Aeros (now the Iowa Wild, i think) are gone. I still have my fingers crossed that someway, somehow, the Edmonton Oilers will move down here.

    Definitely. The real reason I became a hockey fan was because I experienced a game in person and then eventually had a team to follow. Without at least one of those two things, it makes it difficult for one to really appreciate what hockey is all about (at least that's what I learned going from an ignorant person who used to make fun of hockey to now loving the sport for what it's all about).

    Houston may or may not get a team, really hard to say. But yeah, there's always a chance -- Phoenix is skeptical right now of keeping a team there which could open up a possibility.

    I apologize for OT. Carry on.

    I would love for Houston to get an NHL team, but unfortunately, Les Alexander is the only person that can own an NHL team that plays in the Toyota Center. They could play elsewhere and have a different owner, but Toyota Center was built to host Hockey and Basketball.

    Back on topic, beat the Spurs!

    You wonder what sort of deer antler spray or other questionable treatment Wade got.

    Can't just flip a switch like that and turn back the clock without help.

    Hockey is a decent sport i guess, but it will never be bigger than NBA or the game of basketball inside or outside America

    O.K., here is my prediction, game five will be a WAR, no surprise, because in a sense it is an elimination game. If SA wins they go back to Miami having to win only one out of two, Heat must win both. If Heat win game five, game, set match. They head to Miami having to only win one game which they will do easily. I know, Captain Obvious, but that's my story and I am sticking to it. One more thing. Spurs will win game five. Miami played a near perfect game in game four; I don't think they can muster that level two times in a row. If they can, they are the champions.

    Any NHL team here would have to win big and often to draw any interest from the public and it's that way with every sports team here outside of pro football.

    And even then, winning big sure didn't help the Comets after the novelty wore off. The NHL may be looked at with more respect around here but not by much more.

    Ginobili has the worst net rating of any Spurs player at -23

    Can we all agree that if Spurs lose this one, this thing is over on Tuesday in Miami?
