A night after the most ballyhooed Big Three in NBA history made their historical debut, an 80-88 loss to the Boston Celtics (http://espn.go.com/blog/truehoop/miamiheat/post/_/id/469/the-heat-underplay-their-game-1-loss), the league’s most accomplished Big Three quietly opened their season in San Antonio.
For the first time in what feels like ages, a healthy Tim Duncan, Manu Ginobili, and Tony Parker shared the floor for an opening tip as the San Antonio Spurs ran past the Indiana Pacers (http://www.48minutesofhell.com/san-antonio-spurs-122-indiana-pacers-109) in a 122-109 victory.
Lost beneath the fold (an old newspaper term attached to stories whose headlines are less enticing, for those of you who still read them), the trio of Tim Duncan, Manu Ginobili, and Tony Parker scored more than 20 points apiece while making significant contributions in other areas of the game. A stark contrast to the Miami Heat’s “atrocious” debut (http://sports.yahoo.com/nba/blog/ball_dont_lie/post/Miami-s-atrocious-debut?urn=nba-280146), in which LeBron James was the only player to reach double figures.
And therein lies an interesting point. The San Antonio Spurs, in their relative anonymity, are the understated answer to every question facing the Miami Heat this season.
