    Hell, if Lebron even misses just 2 extra minutes this game they would've lost.

    Leonard fouled out, and Spurs shot 43.9% from the field. Miami played much better Def. even though the Spurs had only 11 Turnovers.

    That's like me as a UH fan wanting UT, Rice, SMU or Texas A&M to win anything...

    you cant "hate" the spurs/mavs during the regular season then all of a sudden want them to win another title. people are just lebron haters

    Come on man we all know the reason why you and others are rooting for the Spurs. It isn't some Texas brotherly love thing, its a mutual hatred of the Miami Heat.
    I rooted for the Spurs when they faced the Thunder. I hate the Thunder. Just own up to it.

    You knew Lebron would never have let the heat lose this one.
    After the Boston game 6, we should not doubt his primetime performances.

    Didn't say it had nothing to do with it, but to state it was a foregone conclusion that they would have won is a gross exaggeration

    I'm not gonna lie. I thought LeBron was about to drop the choke of a lifetime after his 1st quarter performance.

    He rebounded unbelievably well.

    Absolutely spot on about Bosh. He can take any of the bigs of San Antonio off the dribble if he would pump fake and drive because of his quickness.

    He's been doing that his whole career. It shouldn't surprise anyone that he continues to do it.

    I definitely think the Heat should be up 2-0 if it wasn't for the A/C going out and LeBron cramping up as a result.

    Agreed, but why hate the Thunder? I don' particular like them, but why the hate?

    Not arguing, just asking

    The Chalmers cheap shot elbow turned the game,similar impact to Wade's knee to the head followed by a kick to the head of Paul George.

    but no one will notice

    No way the Spurs sustain the three point shooting.
    There is just no way. Spurs have to win at least one game in Miami, or this series is done.

    I would have wagered this series would have been over had the 2-3-2 format continued this year. Its a more fair series now.

    I hate the Heat. Boom, it's owned up.

    I have never disliked the Spurs. I have always liked the way they have played, been coached, and been ran from the top. We wish we could obtain a system like they have.My dislike for the Mavericks has lessened over the years after realized they've ruined their future for years. It makes me laugh.

    I guess cheering for the Spurs one time totally discounts my fan hood, and erases all the time and money I've spent watching the Rockets this year and for the past several seasons.

    You are absolutely wrong on all counts. The only team I cared to hate right now is freaking Portland for knocking our asses out in the first round giving us no shot at San Antonio. Rooting for the Spurs doesn't mean I'm a Lebron hater, are you kidding me? I'm rooting against the Heat because I hate Florida and that state sucks ass. So yeah this is more of a state pride thing for me than anything. If it was in-state rival battling out, well duh???? I'll go Rockets.

    Perkins dirty player.
    Fisher dirty player.
    Westbrook is a complete hotheaded douchebag.
    Something about KD also rubs me off the wrong way. His persona is so fake. He tried to be tough bad guy, now he's a good guy. His image is not consistent.

    Their fans piss me off too.
    Its a rivalry, a one-sided rivalry, but its a rivalry.
    One was intentional.
    The other was unintentional.

    Yeah, I already know haha. You've mentioned it several times before. :grin:

    It is what it is. There are two perspectives. One is that you can't root for the other boys in Texas, the other is that you can only root for Texas and anything in it.

    I don't know whats right or wrong, but I rooted for the Spurs against the Thunder so lol.

    LBJ attacked the basket countless times this game and he hardly got any calls. He'll probably get those calls in Miami.
