    Agreed. I suspect agame 6 will be a Heat blowout and then we hopefullygt a good game 7. Eg, like 2010 but without the rigging.

    I wonder if Miami would sign and trade bosh for Dwight? Right now that's one deal both teams could probably agree on. Glad to see ginobli be ginobli again, exciting player to watch.

    ^ That trade's not possible, thankfully.

    Oh both teams are above the apron. My bad. Perhaps a few amnestys could make it work.

    I agree. Plus Dirk's play was phenomenal... was a treat to watch all playoffs.

    Dirk didn't have a great Finals. It was the Dallas defensive scheme that deserves the credit, as well as LeBron having a bad series.

    Really? IIRC the man was money when during the final minutes of the games. Dallas's D was tremendous but Dirk really shined when it counted.

    SMH. Ok dude. Maybe you saw the name Dirk and thought it was Kobe in that comment.
    Go back and rewatch it. ESPECIALLY GAME 4. The only person in that series that would probably say something that silly would be DWade.

    Just got back from Game 5.
    Some quick thoughts before i go sleep


    1. How is it possible that both the exterior and interior of AT&T Arena smell like Tex-Mex?
    2. I think San Antonio just may have the friendliest Texans. Sorry Houston and Dallas.(I feel dirty saying that)
    3. I don't know which is more underrated, the Spurs offense or defense. So confused. Both brought out tears from my eyes tonight. (No H) With a couple of mins left in the 3rd qtr i believe, Splitter had a reverse layup on a great feed from Manu, BUT if you DVR'd the game, watch and rewind that offensive possession again. MAGNIFICENT. The Spurs spacing was beautiful. Their ball movement, impeccable. Their screens upon screens were fantastic.
    4. Why does Tim Duncan dress like he's still a Sophomore at Wake Forest? Sigh. I guess the answer is because he can! He trolls the NBA dress code not dissimilar to the manner Wade trolls it, albeit Wade does it to get noticed.
    5. Why no beautiful Womenz at Spurs games, San Antonio fans? No bueno.
    6. Trick or Treat Manu. He chose to treat tonight and the cheers the Spurs fans had for him after each basket, wow! Standing ovation for Manu in between 3rd and 4th quarters with fans chanting his name.
    7. Nia Long and Gabby Union. Nia gave your boy a smile, Gabby would have but that flopping, eurostepping, flamboyant dressing dude she chooses to be with stepped in my way. Whatever.
    8. Spurs Fans. All at the game in time. All tuned in. Loud and cheering all game. Seemed to have a belief that they'd win and the mood after game 5 was so similar to the Mavericks fans mood after game 5 in 2011. The difference is Mavs fans seemed to have their minds blown that it actually happened. Spurs fans seemed to expect it to happen.

    Series far from over. Heat can definitely win 2 games at home.

    Don't tell that to the anti-Heat fans. When the Heat lose, it's just one game! When the Spurs win, stick a fork in them.

    It was very unlikely that the Heat would win 2 out of 3 in SA. Just like it's unlikely that the Spurs win in Miami again.

    That knee jerk reaction has happened both ways this series.

    Perhaps. In my eyes, this series has played out the way as it was expected. The Spurs had a long break to rest or I would have picked the Heat in 6.

    Come again? I noticed he changed it but assumed that he meant people have been knee-jerking after every game. Anyway, I'm hoping for a game 7 where we finally get a close triple OT game :grin:

    You have confused me then.

    You were talking about anti-heat fans? Then follow it up with those sentences, I assumed it was a typo.

    What I meant was that I've heard Spurs fans say that it's only one game when the Heat win and Spurs lose. In other words, we have them right where we want them. This was after they lost game 4 and gave up home-court.
