Best news about this game: The Big 3 still stunk and we won by 36

[Budkin]

Nobody in their right mind would have thought that. Imagine if they all played like this together... :wow

[m33p0]

this really is a series for the "other" guys.

[Whisky Dog]

Not good in my opinion because Neal and Green won't flame thrower them for two more games. Duncan Parker and Ginobili have to be damn good from here on out. We need them to be

[ducks]

dude tp played well got 8 assist
he moved the ball when they attacked him smart coaching pop

[TampaDude]

If Green and Neal play anything remotely like this in Games 4 and 5, this series is OVER.

[ducks]

manu looked younger with some of his dunks

[davidbowie]

This is bad IMO. Plus tony is hurt. Manu still stinks. Unless green and Neal have goat games again

[HarlemHeat37]

It's not good news:lol..

Neal had his first good game in forever, and Miami will probably pay more attention to Green and force the big 3 to score more IMO..

Duncan was pretty good tonight IMO, particularly on defense and rebounding..

Parker was meh, Manu was pretty decent, but I don't think you can still consider him to be part of the "big 3", tbh..

[polandprzem]

Big 3 made a good effort. WTF Budkin?

[racm]

Manu was good on everything that wasn't an ill-advised stepback 3... Two dunks is the most I've seen him do in a Game for a couple of years now...

Timmy was quiet but boarded well.

Tony fed the hot hand and didn't force things...

Tim played much better tonight...

[michaelwcho]

The Big 3 didn't stink!

People need to understand that Green and Leonard are now part of the Big 3! :)

[circ]

catch22 if true wtf

[T Park]

I thought they were good. Big reason the lead for out that huge.

[Budkin]

Big 3 made a good effort. WTF Budkin?

Ok shouldn't have said stunk but we all expected Tony and Tim at least to go off tonight... which they still WILL do this series... book it!

[SanDiegoSpursFan]

Good news is that the Spurs dominated the glass. If Miami doesn't send more guys to the board, thus slowing the offense, the Spurs showed that they can basically be a better version of Indiana.

Timmy and Ginobili played great. Parker was really suffocated by defense and still played well.

My math is no good or
























:fight:

[Budkin]

Yeah true... with shots going in like that why even try to run plays for them. :lol

[BatManu20]

Good point. Parker with only 6 and Manu with only 7 pts. If only Manu's shot wasn't completely lost.. He looks good on those finishes around the rim, but damn that dude seriously has lost his shot. Can't make anything. And he's still making terrible passes. I pray he has just one good game this series cause we're going to need it, especially if Tony is hobbled..

[The Reckoning]

they were all great (albeit some ginobili-esque turnovers...) but there was so many mismatches on the perimeter with chalmers in foul trouble that they kept kicking it out because both neil and green were on fire.

leonard finally started hitting his shots as well. the big 3 did great as facilitators because they were doing their job as buffers against the heat's D.

[BatManu20]

Also, huge daps to Green and Neal, but that most likely won't happen again this sereis, if ever again tbh. The Big 3 are going to have to play much better to have a shot at snapping miami's "no back to back losses" streak.

[timtonymanu]

Yeah, the Big 3 need to contribute. This series will eventually come down to the star players.

[dg7md]

Duncan was great. He had a lot of energy and brought power to the inside.

Ginobli and Parker, though, yes, were not that great. They can be a lot better.

Put Splitter @ pn'r and make the fucker dunk with both hands. Make him dunk until it gets automatic, like kumon. :lol

[Brazil]

This game is just a good example of spurs being unselfish. Parker Duncan Manu don't care about their stats. It was home game, role players were delivering you gave them the ball as much as possible to build their confidence up. They will face difficulties later in this serie this is when we will need the big 3 to take over

[Mugen]

Not encouraging tbh. Duncan was good. TP looked slow and Manu's jump-passes are f'n horrible.

Neal/Gary aren't going to have this type of game again and the Big 3 HAVE to step up to win this series.

[Naelven]

This is not a big 3 anymore, this is a big 5. Easy to understand !

[imjunsul]

And people say the Spurs are done when Duncan retires...

[Aggie Hoopsfan]

Not good news for our chances?

Kerr, Horry, and Jaren Jackson say hi.

[Matty2Cool]

There's a lot of weird stuff going on in this series. We only have 4 turnovers game 1. Lebron has only had 6 free throw attempts all 3 games none tonight. We break the record for most 3s made. Lebron scores under 20 in playoffs 3 times in a row. Our big 3 don't play too big. Just off the top of my head. Weird finals are weird but going in our favor so far.

[024]

A win is a win and I'll take it but these type of wins aren't very sustainable. The Spurs big 3 really need get their heads out of their asses and make one final push. They are so close, the role players are dragging them towards the finish line but the big 3 still need to be the ones to cross it. This reminds me of Boston's 2010 finals. Nate Robinson and Glen Davis won a game for the Celtics when their big 3 looked old and tired. But the Celtics still lost 2 in a row afterwards and the series because their big 3 completely flatlined (also Perkins injury in game 7). Duncan, Parker, and Ginobili need to dig deep into their reserves and play well for just 2-4 more games.

[milkyway21]

those Duncan 7 offensive rebounds were huge for the Spurs to get ahead and shut down & deny the Heat in the middle

Manu was so energetic when he took over TP and was able to pass the ball to Duncan. Though didn't score much.

[MannyIsGod]

The big 3 played fine. Of course the stats are going to look worse when they all sit out the fourth.
