    The spurs arena is built on cheap land . It's cheap to begin with to live in San Antonio . It just simply sucks.

    Barkley was right

    I would love to watch you get leg cramps. Most people would collapse and refuse to move for however long until the cramps subside.

    The Spurs balance out minutes for their star players better than the Heat do. Duncan doesn't have to play 40 minutes to be effective, neither do Manu or Parker





    With that said, some of those Lebron memes are the funniest things I've seen. Lmaooooooooooooooooo:grin:

    A spurs fan broke A/C during the first q, so Spurs won the game because of this. This would make lots of common sense.

    Sorry, I don't mean to feed the beast, and I am quite truly on the side of those who think this was random and horribly inconvenient timing. Truly.

    I will say, to the tiny, infinitesimal extent I am sympathetic to a "something's shady" argument here, it would *not* be the Spurs, the Heat, or the NBA involved in any funny business. Just someone with huge money interests.

    Again, nothing shady going on, because it just makes no sense and is too crazy. But the timing was epically weird, and that means some people will always have their nutty ideas about what went down.

    They are saying on Numbers never lie (ESPN) that they were giving out promotional fans, to the fans. Can anyone confirm this?

    They were noisemakers. You fold them and make noises by hitting it. The Rockets used them before.

    Conspiracy theories. This guy must be loony. Everything in this world is exactly as it seems. There are no trap doors in this world. No hidden tunnels. Hell, the Underground Railroad was just made up, right? There ARE no secret groups in this world and people never put crazy plans together, right?

    Well, do u have proof, more concrete than bricks evidence that the spurs do it? Otherwise its just damn straight conspiracy theorist n an unfair frame. Plus did the spurs players use a special suit or medication or have an individual fan attached to their bodies? They played in the same building, same court.

    Training in hot weather? Heat does worse for the last 4 years by forming the heatles n training with 3 superstars n 3 super subs.

    Yup the Spurs practice their pick and roll in 100 degree weather. Makes for a longer, more productive practice.

    New centers/ buildings never malfunction like the time a restaurat had to microwave my friend's food.

    LeBron gets cramps. Doesn't make him beta or a b****, lol.
    I don't see how you can possibly blame or demean a player for an injury, especially considering the circumstances.

    So what if it was deliberate? In fact, I wouldn't see a problem if it was deliberate.

    I mean afterall, it's called home court advantage. You do anything within the means of the game to acquire some kind of advantage. It's not like the Spurs made the floor extra slippery, or made the basket bigger. The playing conditions did not change one bit.

    It's like if you go to play soccer in high altitude conditions like Quito. It is home advantage.
