If the Spurs can prevent shots at the rim, they can win this series

The rim protection in Game 4 was a complete joke. The pack the paint defense had fallen apart in that game.

I know Miami hit more jumpers in Game 4 than the prior games, but the Spurs need to stick to the game plan. I'd rather Miami beat us 15 feet from the rim as oppose to getting layups and offensive rebounds/tip ins.

James runs like a 4.0 40 or something like that, and he's rebounded and laying up the ball before most people get to half court. He just barrels in. Someone needs to take a charge, good or bad, put him on his ass as much as possible.

Wade had 4 or 5 easy lay ups right over Timmy. TO's led to countless transition lay ups for miami. Spurs gotta clean it up or they'll lose Game 5 too.

It's hard to protect the rim playing 6'6 PFs

It's hard to protect the rim playing 6'6 PFs and Bonner

Maybe if your spell worked for the other team tbh. Preferably Lebron.

I agree the Spurs need to pack the paint more. Get back in transition. Take hard fouls. It seemed like Gary Neal was the only one who realized that. He should probably have wrapped Wade up on his dunk. You can't have the Heat getting into the paint too easily or the jumpers will start to fall. When you stay on the perimeter it's much harder to hit jumpers.

If we outscore the Heat two more games, we can win this series too, IMO.

Amused is almost as bad as timvp as far as bipolar basketball takes

[diego]

he's right though, we're not going to beat the heat by scoring 110+. The only way to keep the heat under 100 is to limit their pts in the paint, most of which comes from transition offense.

Stop turning the ball over and we'll win.

Less turnover means good offensive possession. That should be a W!
