Fearing the Heat

[Outlier]

Wade & LeBron exploding for 30 point games. They have woken up. The last time we played them they whooped us bad because LeBron exploded in the 3rd. I don't feel too good about our chances...

[Bill_Brasky]

We're playing the Thunder in the next round.

[Richie]

If Bosh isn't back theres no way they beat us or the Thunder

[Mr. Body]

They only have two scorers.

But yeah, we're playing the Thunder right now.

[Floyd Pacquiao]

We're playing the Thunder in the next round.

[Hooks]

They're playing the Pacers lol, the east is incredibly weak, I doubt the Pacers could even beat the Nuggets.

[Beanzamillion21]

Yes, the Heat are whining their way to a championship alright. Please, look at who they have played. The Clippers could have beaten the Heat. :whine

[ace3g]

1. Hibbert isn't quick enough on defense

2. Pacers suck at passing

3. Pacers don't use their #1 adv on offense (size in the paint) enough, even when Hibbert isn't in foul trouble. Part of that has to do with #2 above.

[Notorious H.O.P.]

The Pacers had the Heat where they wanted them. But all it may have taken to change the course of the entire playoffs is Lance Stephenson's immature choking gesture.

Thats why you have to love the class shown by the entire Spurs organization. They never give anyone bulletin board material.

[BillMc]

We'll worry about the Heat if we meet them in the Finals. The Spurs (and us fans) should be concerned only with the Thunder now. 1 game at a time, just like Tim, Tony, Manu and Pop say.

[SA210]

Enough of all the "scared" and "fear" talk. Seriously.

[vander]

I'm scared of the Heat getting to the rim and the line, and I fear the Thunder's mid range shooting capability

[024]

need to get past the thunder first...

[gospursgojas]

Indiana Pacers.

[Blackjack]

Don't be a girl.

[HI-FI]

i'll worry about that bridge when we cross it. the thunder are gonna be a handful. though least the heat are playing up to their douchebag potential like the lakers. you always need villains like those teams.

[SamoanTD]

The games haven't been played yet and you are scared? cough "pussy" cough

[Spursmania]

Be like SJAX and just make love to pressure.

[Reck]

LOL insecure.

[baseline bum]

It amazes me seeing people (and the media too) writing the Heat off. The 18 game win streak is nice and the Spurs level of basketball has been really beautiful to watch the last couple of months, but I still think the Heat are the team to beat.

[Sense]

Freebirds, seriously I love the selection.

[HarlemHeat37]

Indiana is a much better team than the banged up Clippers..

Spurs-Heat would be a very good matchup, both teams would have significant advantages, but Miami hasn't even won their series vs. Indiana, yet, and if they do, they'll have to get past Boston..

Spurs still have an equally good OKC team in front of them, too..

It could easily happen, but both teams still have to make it through..

However, if the Spurs win their series, they would be much better off playing the Celtics in the Finals, they would beat them in 5 IMO..

[Blackjack]

Girls.

I'm enjoyin' the hell out of this run. They're a machine - it's a thing of beauty.

Someone's gonna have to play outta their mind or the Spurs will have to suffer a key injury.

Other than that, church.

[chunticakes]

fuck the heat.

[100%duncan]

Fuck all the pre-ejac threads.

[Russ]

Funny thing is, they played three times the last two years (Heat won 2 of 3) but none of the games were close.

The winning team in each game hit a ton of three-pointers.

Each of the games seemed like something of a fluke.

What all this tells us, I have no idea.

[Spurs and Mavs fan]

Is there any reason the Spurs should fear the Heat any more than the Mavericks did last year (the Heat, I seem to recall, were quite heavily favored in that Finals matchup?)

Sure, the Heat may be a more complete team this year, but there's Bosh's injury, and even if that heals up completely in time for the Finals, the Spurs are arguably a much better team than last year's Mavericks.

[Out of nowhere goods]

the Spurs are arguably a much better team than last year's Mavericks.

:lmao

So beating up on the Jazz/Clippers is enough to vault this year's team over the defending champions?

Let's atleast see what happens now that you're playing non-cupcakes. The jury is still out. If you guys get past OKC/Miami, you can compare the two. Until then, you guys are still a glorified Phoenix Suns

[DeadlyDynasty]

OKC would have a much better chance of beating the Heat than the Spurs. Spurs would lose in 5 to a Miami team with Bosh. LBJ would avg a trip-dub against both teams, tho.

[Crookshanks]

How about if we just worry about the next series. Let's get into the Finals before we start worrying about a team that may or may not even make it.

[Bruno]

Yeah, the whole winner of Thunder/Spurs will win it all talk is weird.

Miami, providing Bosh came back, should still be considered as the favorite to win it all. Even if they are mental midgets and if their team is poorly build, they are too talented to be ruled out.

[KaiRMD1]

TBH, that was an atrocious game. The Heat will be lucky if they beat the Celtics.

[Reck]

If the Spurs and Heat meet in the finals it will probably be an ugly series.

Each time these two team play each other the result its a blowout for the winning team.

[Vash StampedE]

Why so scared? Even with Bosh returning, Heat still don't have enough firepower to defeat whichever teams comes out of the West. They rely too much on their Big 3 and seem to not have that X-factor that will put them in the position to win it all.

lolwut?

Thanks, Rufus.

So can the Spurs repeat next year? I like our chances if we can extend Green.

Yessirrr! :toast

30 + 30 is still only 60. With the rest of that team, they'd have a hard time scraping up more than another 20-25 points. They also have absolutely no one to check Tony or Tim.

I'm more concerned about the three-peat, tbh.

[racm]

For now the only thing we concern is how to play well in the game1 of the western conference finals

Typical, Pop-like mentality. :toast

[stxspurs]

Fuk yo fear clown

[OZWIN]

Spurs have to get passed the Thunder before they can worry about the Heat. Heat are going to have their hands full with Boston anyways.

I think it will end up being Spurs/Heat in the Finals though. Spurs win in six.

[ViceCity86]

I was gonna make this thread.I don't see our spurs beating the Heat if Bosh is healthy and ready to play.

[cheguevara]

worry about getting to the finals first. that'll be a tougher task than facing the heat

[Agloco]

Wade & LeBron exploding for 30 point games. They have woken up. The last time we played them they whooped us bad because LeBron exploded in the 3rd. I don't feel too good about our chances...

It's gonna take Wade and LeBron going for 70+ each night for the Heat to have a chance.

lol chances.

[Axe Murderer]

Good to see Spurfans are taking it 1 round at a time. The fans being humble and having the proper mindset should go a long way into who wins this series

[JRHernandez88]

OP is right

tbh winner of the Thunder/Spurs basically gets to be sacrificed to the Heat in the Finals:rollin

[Keepin' it real]

Wade & LeBron exploding for 30 point games. They have woken up. The last time we played them they whooped us bad because LeBron exploded in the 3rd. I don't feel too good about our chances...

Why do you fear a team the Spurs are not playing? :nope

Spurs are playing the Thunder. OKC is a great team, so worry about them.

[Horse]

They won't get 16 layups against us and battier won't play good 4 times. Our concern will be the real big 3 lebron, wade and mostly stern.

Find your sac girlie. Besides, they're not who Spurs are playing right now.
