Keys to Victory

[Vito Corleone]

For the Spurs to win game 3 this is what I think they must do.


Limit turnovers, I think we all can agree on this one.
REBOUND REBOUND REBOUND
Stay at home on the shooters, if Lebron is set on being a decoy then dictate who will be taking the shot by staying home and forcing them into bad shots or letting guys shoot that don't want to.
Focus the defense on Lebron with about 5min left in the 3rd quarter, that is when he turned it on against us in game 2.
Pound them in the paint with Tim, they have no answer.
Better floor spacing so our bigs can operate. This will also help to open lanes for Parker.


Of that list, I have said all along, the most important things on that list are turnovers and rebounding, we do both well we will win, the Heat are not a great rebounding team, the Spurs need to dominate the boards.

I'm going with 1 and 5. I think that limiting turnovers and Duncan having a big night are of extreme importance. If Duncan is working inside that'll open up even more lanes and outside shots. Also, limiting turnovers, aside from the obvious in keeping Miami out of transition, means that the Spurs are playing poised and in control.

7. Score more points than the opposing team.

[romain.star]

1/ Limited turnovers
2/ Unlimited rebounds
3/ High FG %

That's about it

[Spurs and Mavs fan]

Stop Miller and Allen from shooting all those wide-open 3-pointer attempts.

[icango]

points in the paint is the key. how about leaving the hot hand in the game.

[hater]

IMO key #1 is our bigs need to show up. Our bigs have another bad night and it's RIP spurs.

Duncan, this could be your last 4 games deep in the playoffs. Show up

[T Park]

4 down, turnovers, translation defense, rebounding.

That's it.

THis!

[ginobilized]

Pass the ball expeditiously

[TheGoldStandard]

Let the hot hand shoot, attack the paint, dish and score, Tim needs to go retro and be in the post (4 down) Manu needs to show up. Put glue on Gary Neals jersey so he has to stick with his man.

7. Score more points than the opposing team.

:toast I'm glad someone else is as simple-minded as I am.

[cheguevara]

shutdown all the role players. Chalmers, Allen and the 2 white boys

allow James to carry the Heat. Heat are tough when James engages beast mode, but they are unbeatable when he's getting carried by the role players.

[DarrinS]

Play Danny Green and Kawhi Leonard MORE minutes.

Play Danny Green and Kawhi Leonard MORE minutes.
:tu

They're young, and our other options suck.

offensive rbds = more ball possessions, limit Heat 2nd chance pts, limit turnovers, make your 3s, share the ball TP
