2013 NBA Finals, Game 7: Spurs @ Heat - June 20 @ 8 PM CT

[Darius McCrary]

Another big difference tonight:

Heat score when they get offensive rebounds.

We are having trouble scoring from ANYWHERE

Let's hope heat are wearing themselves out playing such amazing defense.

[soxxx]

Boshs inefficiency will cost the Heat in the end.

[Floyd Pacquiao]

just keep fighting Spurs

[BatManu20]

We're so lucky Miami's missing all their open shots. We should be getting blown out right now.

[michaelwcho]

green cant't buy a bucket. man, we could use a little help.

[Spursmania]

This is gonna come down to officiating
:depressed

[spurspokesman]

spurs own the second half

[HarlemHeat37]

Spurs finally letting Ray Allen go inside and he keeps turning it over..it's simple basketball, tbh..

The perimeter defenders are lucky that Tim's defense has been phenomenal, tbh..they keep giving up wide open looks and penetration..

[AchillesHeel]

We're so lucky Miami's missing all their open shots. We should be getting blown out right now.

basketball gods are keeping us in it

[Kamnik]

Duncan with great poise!!

[Jenks]

When the Spurs drive, Miami is allowed to go full gangbang mode without a call.

[TDomination]

green needs to play within himself, what was up with him trying to go one on one a few possessions back.

he needs to move hard without the ball, realize that he is being effective even when he's not open. they are not doubling off of him and he need to find duncan or parker or someone who can take advantage of the single coverage

[james evans]

spurs own the second half
until pop goes with his "20 point lead" lineup at the start of the 4th

[smackdaddy11]

Scott Foster under the hoop when Spurs have ball. No calls will be made. He's a hack.

[dg7md]

We really need to keep going to the paint. Magical things will happen there sooner or later.

[RuffnReadyOzStyle]

The Spurs owe themselves to play better than what they've displayed so far.

Who are you to judge what the Spurs owe themsleves? You honestly think they aren't putting out everything they have right now? If so, you're an idiot. They are tired and beaten up and trying their best against another excellent team, and somehow despite looking like shit they're still in the game.

No, this is about your entitlement complex, and you know what, you aren't entitled to anything.

[Captivus]

Ok. Posting here is not helping my concentration.
im just gonna watch the game.
Talk to you all tomorrow.
Si se puede!

[DAF86]

Wut? Wasn't midget ball the best thing ever?

Never said that, tbh. I go with who is playing well.

[spurspokesman]

Duncan with great poise!!
I pray it spreads like wildfire

[Keepin' it real]

Spurs will be lucky to score 80 tonight. Offense looks like 2nd half game 6 of WCF vs. OKC.

[Sa_Spursfan20]

Ugly as hell so far, but the Spurs are fighting. Just keep at it.

[Duncan21MVP]

Not sure who we are tonight. No outside snipers, no consistent inside game. Just a smattering of both and a score that would make the series against the Cavs, Nets, and Pistons look like barnburners.

[HarlemHeat37]

Keep posting up Duncan, I don't give a fuck if he misses, I can't repeat this enough, tbh..

[timtonymanu]

Just keep it close, but the Spurs don't look energetic.

[Spurs21Fan4Ever]

Kawhi has 9 rebounds, can't be mad at him.

[BatManu20]

If only our role players weren't disappearing when it matters most.. it's the WCF all over again

[Brunodf]

:lol Neal to close the half

[Darius Bieber]

Who are you to judge what the Spurs owe themsleves? You honestly think they aren't putting out everything they have right now? If so, you're an idiot. They are tired and beaten up and trying their best against another excellent team, and somehow despite looking like shit they're still in the game.

No, this is about your entitlement complex, and you know what, you aren't entitled to anything.

Lmao, you're getting butthurt after I've stated the obvious? The Spurs are playing poorly. End of story.

[TDomination]

wade is in rhythm and feeling it, that concerns me

[Slippy]

Kawhi has 9 rebounds, can't be mad at him.

KY is our future. he come to play .

[RuffnReadyOzStyle]

I hope all 3 of tonights refs die a slow painful colon cancer death

Yeah, because a basketball game is more important than dieing an agonizing death.

I have two friends with terminal cancer and you're a POS.

[01Snake]

STAY ON BATTIER

[Jenks]

:lol Neal to close the half
I'd be fine with that if Manu was on the bench

[GSH]

The Spurs are in this because they have 8 steals.

[AchillesHeel]

Duncan looking great tonight, 11 pts 5 reb 2 ast 4 stl

[ballhog]

How is this game close?

[Spurs21Fan4Ever]

LeBaby will cool down

[BatManu20]

Lebron going off. Too many wide open looks.

[RuffnReadyOzStyle]

Lmao, you're getting butthurt after I've stated the obvious? The Spurs are playing poorly. End of story.

That is not the issue - you are a serial cliff-jumper.

Fuck you, I'm out.

[Trill Clinton]

green looks so uncomfortable out there.

[TDomination]

wow surprised green got a call

[Juggity]

Duncan with no hesitation at the free throw line. Dude came to play. Not fazed at all.

[BatManu20]

DANNY GREEN WAKE THE FUCK UP DUDE

[Spurs Brazil]

WTF Green is doing

[DAF86]

Get at least Parker in there NOW.

[Spurs21Fan4Ever]

Leonard should stick on LeBron there, not help on Allen.

[Brunodf]

Neal collapsing our defense and giving up another wide open 3 per par

[HarlemHeat37]

:lol Green got lucky, that was another horrible drive..

[Darius Bieber]

That is not the issue - you are a serial cliff-jumper.

Fuck you, I'm out.

Haha okay, good bye.

[Crookshanks]

Not good that Miami is getting hot from 3-point land

[Spursox]

Boy do we miss some Stephen Jackson

[ballhog]

Got all hand there

[Ryan Fitzpatrick]

bailout foul..horrible call

[RuffnReadyOzStyle]

This game reminds me of game 5 2007 so far... we look done but are somehow staying in it.

[Juggity]

DG at least making FTs

[TDomination]

hopefully those ft's help green

[Southwest Texas Fan]

What was that Green. Oh well if he makes them than its all good.

[Spurs Brazil]

Timmy!!

[DAF86]

Manu playing with balls.

[tah]

nice!!

[AchillesHeel]

Duncan and Leonard carrying this team on both ends

[ballhog]

Tie game. Crazy

[Duncan21MVP]

We are tied

[RashoFan]

Hell yeah

[Slippy]

Green got bailed then. His decision making all over the place. Show a little poise.

[Spurs Brazil]

Yes Manuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuu

[Spursox]

Kawhi is beasting

[AchillesHeel]

WE'RE FINALLY GETTING CALLS!

[Trill Clinton]

bailout foul..horrible call

you got any connects at the AA arena? i need somebody to slip some cocaine in splitters water bottle.

[TDomination]

i love this manu, very aggressive

[Juggity]

GREAT drive, Manu

[ballhog]

Manuuuuuuuuuuu

[BatManu20]

There you go Manu. Be aggressive man.

[Crookshanks]

That's it Spurs - keep driving to the basket, and make them call the fouls!!!

[AASATX]

Manu stepping it up

[HarlemHeat37]

Manu looks solid, tbh, keep being aggressive..

[Avitus1]

Hell yea!

[Spurs21Fan4Ever]

Thank God LeBron thinks he's Reggie Miller!

[DAF86]

Whythe fuck couldn't Manu play like this all series?

[Darius Bieber]

Would be great to get a nice cushion before the half.

[Spurs21Fan4Ever]

Green can't let Wade get the ball that deep.

[Slydragon]

fuck Wade

[Slippy]

love the way Manu Playing. making things happen

[TDomination]

fuck wade really feeling it

[Thomas82]

Would be great to get a nice cushion before the half.

Yes it would!!

[Juggity]

Wade just can't miss.

[Crookshanks]

WE'RE FINALLY GETTING CALLS!

ABOUT TIME!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!! :flag:

[RuffnReadyOzStyle]

We're not getting any foul calls, we're not getting thebounce of the ball, and we look dog-tired with dead legs, yet somehow we're still in it. Hmmmmmm...

[Crookshanks]

WE'RE FINALLY GETTING CALLS!

ABOUT TIME!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!! :flag:

[BatManu20]

Wade is playing well. Sucks for us.

[ballhog]

Keep the ball away from Wade.

[Spurs21Fan4Ever]

Wade battling through three broken legs! What a warrior!

[Spursox]

Maybe put someone else on Wade????? Heats game plan is whoever Green is guarding, shot it

[Muser]

Spurs getting to the line regularly, nice.

[BatManu20]

REBOUND

[~Sweetmelody~]

REBOUND REBOUND

[tah]

that was ugly danny green

[Spurs21Fan4Ever]

Green sucks.

[loveforthegame]

Geez Green.

[Trill Clinton]

green cant make a layup to save his life

[Spursox]

can Diaw get a rebound

[RuffnReadyOzStyle]

We're not giving up, and that's what matters most.

[BatManu20]

Danny Green fucking terrible.

[Juggity]

Man, no luck for green, no confidence shooting from 3

[01Snake]

FUCK WADE!!!!!

[ballhog]

Fucking Wade

[Spurs Brazil]

WTF Green is doing?????????????????

If you don't have a shot PASS THE FUCKING BALL

[Raven]

bad half, just bad.

[Spurs21Fan4Ever]

Wade will fade like he always does. Green needs to play defense.

[GSH]

Damn I would have loved to see Danny fluke that one in at the end.

[AchillesHeel]

It's a close game, that's all we could have asked for after how last game ended, tbh.

[Shaolin-Style]

Is danny green aware that he can't finish anything at the basket yet?

How many more times does he have to miss?

[AASATX]

Man Green needs to stick to his game, not this crap he's been pulling tonight.

[Texas_Ranger]

don't play the bench in the second...

[boutons_deux]

DG gotta find his balls and hit shot

[dg7md]

Let's hope the trend of Wade cooling off in the second half is true.

No real Duncan presence in the first half. We need to change that.

[SpurSwag]

fuck wade, guy can't hit a jumper all series and now he's money every time

[biziofromdowntown]

Wade killing us

[Crookshanks]

FUCK WADE!!!!!

I would have to agree. And I don't want to hear anything about his injured knee!

[Duncan21MVP]

Danny Green acts like he has never taken a three, not the current all-time NBA Finals Three Point Shooter. I wish he'd saved some from Game 3.

[timtonymanu]

Still in it, but damn we need some contributions from players in the 2nd half.

[Brunodf]

Not good that Miami is getting hot from 3-point land
That's what u get when u play one of the worst perimeter players in the NBA

[Spurs21Fan4Ever]

Green needs to focus on defense before focusing on offense.

[Juggity]

Wade iso plays is what the spurs want, tbh.

This HGH-riddled fuck will break down in the third per the usual

[DAF86]

Why take Manu out instead of Green there at the end? Manu wasn't going to commit number 3.

[Darius McCrary]

I think Danny's free throws got him back into playing good defense.
But the fact is the HEat are not giving us ANY good looks, and Danny hasn't had anything open all game.

[polandprzem]

no green no neal

no good


:depressed

[stephen jackson]

we have played horrible, i cant trust this team to do aything right

[RuffnReadyOzStyle]

Why is Green continually looking to a floater he doesn't have when he's got open guys to pass to??? :pctoss

[Kobulingam]

GREEN need to stop taking non-Threes

[rold50]

Danny green afraid to shoot the 3

[ca®lo]

please for the love God don't even bother driving Danny Green!!! You can't make a fucking shot! Just spot up!

[Xolotl]

Am I the only one that thinks this offense is looking awful?

[Slippy]

Man, no luck for green, no confidence shooting from 3

the 3 point shot not there. they forcing him to go off the dribble which is not his game at all.
show some ppatience . move the ball around. for some reason he thinks he Tony or Manu.

[Spursox]

WTF was Pop thinking that Green, Manu and Neal are better than Stephen Jackson

[Ryan Fitzpatrick]

you got any connects at the AA arena? i need somebody to slip some cocaine in splitters water bottle.
Gonna need a lot to counteract all that estrogen...could be pricey, tbh

[m33p0]

seriously, green has to get going.

[Kobulingam]

Green thinks he's Jordan

[Raven]

It's a close game, that's all we could have asked for after how last game ended, tbh.

you're not winning a game 7 on the road by keeping it close.

[JingleJangleJingle]

pop just needs to tell Green to shoot the 3 unless he is extremely covered and seriously fuck wade and his jumper

[Duncan21MVP]

Why hasn't pop ripped green's ass for not taking the three when he gets it?

[Spurs21Fan4Ever]

I have no trust in this team winning the second half.

[GSH]

Man Green needs to stick to his game, not this crap he's been pulling tonight.

He's not taking those shots by choice. Nobody else can get any shot. He just can't finish.

[Crookshanks]

Okay - not a great 1st half, but not all that bad either. Spurs are only down 2.

[$pursDynasty]

Wade killin us but that is better than Manu killing us. Ginobilli is holdin down on the turnovers and we are getting to the line and hitting the FT's which is huge BUT we have still not gotten some major fouls from the ref

[Spurs Brazil]

3rd quarter is TD all the time. Bosh has 3 fouls and will play soft

[Ice009]

Gotta play better, sharpen up and get it done.

[Sa_Spursfan20]

All things considered, Im okay with being down 2. Come out strong in the 2nd half. Green needs to step his shit up though.

[Darius Bieber]

Got to give Miami credit. They've shot don the Spurs' three point chances.

[Budkin]

They get every open 3 and we don't even get open.

[RuffnReadyOzStyle]

Green had Boris up top and Kawhi in the corner, both wide open. He needs to pass, not shoot a floater he never makes.

[HarlemHeat37]

Wade is taking mid-range jump shots, he has 12 points on 11 shots, not that efficient, tbh..Spurs live with that all day, don't change the strategy..

Spurs are going to lose this game if they don't get Duncan the ball inside more, tbh..it's the only way to get Green open and it's Miami's weak spot..Duncan's 2 post misses were great looks, he'll get them back, tbh..

Gary Neal needs to play less minutes, he looks disgusting out there..

Manu's D was horrible, but his offense was solid, and the Spurs need him to play big in the 2nd half, and he should be playing ahead of Green, if Danny doesn't turn it around..

Danny Green is playing one of the worst games I've ever seen from a Spurs player, on both sides of the ball, tbh..he has been the worst player on the floor for either team and it's not even close..

[boutons_deux]

spurs shooting 35%, horrible offense, will the shots fall in 2nd half?

[noles1983]

super human wade not maintaing that shit, only down 2. thats nothing after playing like shit

[dg7md]

Anybody know the stats on the team winning at the half and the relation to them winning the game? I recall us having many first half leads but still losing.

[ca®lo]

Wade heating up and Lebron hitting those 3's. DAMN

[Slippy]

Why is Green continually looking to a floater he doesn't have when he's got open guys to pass to??? :pctoss

ya go figure. he doesnt want to pass it when he got no shot. keeps driving and trashing it up

[JohnnySixString]

Maybe the Spurs will win game 8. lol

[Budkin]

They're scoring on jumpers. I hope that will stop.

[DAF86]

Let's hope the trend of Wade cooling off in the second half is true.

No real Duncan presence in the first half. We need to change that.

?

13 pts, 5 rbds, 2 assts, 4 stls and he has no blk in the boxscore but that's bullshit, I saw at least 1 huge block.

[Jenks]

I'm impressed with Manu so far. If it were up to me, he still would not be in the game with less than 8 minutes left in the 4th.

[Floyd Pacquiao]

just keep battling

[boutons_deux]

spurs got 7 STL!

Spurs 14 - 3 FT pts

[Crookshanks]

Wade heating up and Lebron hitting those 3's. DAMN

And yet - Spurs are only down 2. :flag:

[BackHome]

The better conditioned team is going to win this game.

[Tim_duncan21]

Battier is guarding green. Green needs to do better in his offense

[GSH]

Green had Boris up top and Kawhi in the corner, both wide open. He needs to pass, not shoot a floater he never makes.

They're camping on the passing lanes, when guys are stationary. I don't know about that time, in particular. But when our guys aren't moving without the ball, they're waiting for the passes.

[BatManu20]

super human wade not maintaing that shit, only down 2. thats nothing after playing like shit

Everyone said that about Wade on here the game he dropped 34 on us or whatever.. he played even better the second half in that game than he did in the first half.

[$pursDynasty]

like they say with Lebron you can't take away everything. If they are shutting down our 3's then either Timmy has to be open on the post or the lanes have to be open for the drives. I am all for Kawai to go Orlando Woolwridge every play and take it to the well and draw fouls on the Heat if our jumpers aren't fallin

[RD2191]

Man, we can't hit a 3 to save our lives. Look for Miami to pour it on in the 3rd.

[dg7md]

?

13 pts, 5 rbds, 2 assts, 4 stls and he has no blk in the boxscore but that's bullshit, I saw at least 1 huge block.

Many were free throws. Duncan needs to throw it down. Be more known...

[Tim_duncan21]

Yeah, I thought Duncan blocked bosh in the first quarter

[milkyway21]

Diaw on LeBron

[Horse]

Refs fucking awful Tony is literally bleeding but can't get a call. We still need to keep driving to the basket though,hopefully it will loosen up the shooters and get us free throws.

[Tim_duncan21]

Parker needs to share the ball

[Slydragon]

We really need our 3 shot to drop.

[RuffnReadyOzStyle]

Well, that's exactly what I predicted for the first half.

It's the 3rd Q-start of 4th I dread. If we can stay within 5pts until 6 to go we're in with a 50-50 chance, but I fear we'll be blown out starting in the late 3rd unless a couple of players step up from nowhere.

This is where Pop has to be the great motivator, get his guys to play past tiredness and pain.

[Hemotivo]

when manu is playin' Spurs +8

[BatManu20]

Unless Green and Manu start hitting shots, spurs can't win this game. Tony too. Role players HAVE TO STEP UP.

[DespЏrado]

Go spurs go.
Pick up your game Green.
Play your heart out Manu.
Parker feel the pep.

Timmy make it count.
Pop pull out all the stops.


win this FUCKING game!

[spurs10]

It's a two point game. Winner takes all in the second half. :ihit

[Tim_duncan21]

Duncan has been good drawing fouls. Set him up

[GSH]

Get Diaw an open look at a 3. Somebody has to take the lid off, and he's a good candidate.

[Spurs21Fan4Ever]

Tiago Splitter -6 lol.

[Darius McCrary]

2nd game in a row Heat are shooting lights out 3 balls (they are WIDE FUCKING OPEN) and Spurs can't buy a 3.

Not good.

[RuffnReadyOzStyle]

They're camping on the passing lanes, when guys are stationary. I don't know about that time, in particular. But when our guys aren't moving without the ball, they're waiting for the passes.

I re-watched it and both Boris and Kawhi were WIDE open, passing lanes uncovered. Danny has no vision when it comes to drive and dish though, we already knew this.

[BatManu20]

One more half fellas. Please God pull this off somehow.

[noles1983]

highlights all miami lmfao make it more obvious please

[Tim_duncan21]

Low scoring game so far. It's a good thing that we're still in this game.

[Spurs21Fan4Ever]

Green 0-6 and playing horrible defense, how is he +1?

[dg7md]

Low-scoring games favor us more than the Heat IMO.

[GSH]

Battier is guarding green. Green needs to do better in his offense

You do understand that Battier is known as a good defender?

[BatManu20]

Danny Green is 1-13 in the past 2 games... awful. Bosh has 3 fouls.. GO AFTER HIM.

[Avitus1]

I still believe.

[ducks]

spurs shooting 35%, horrible offense, will the shots fall in 2nd half?

green is 0-6

[Juggity]

Still damn close. The spurs have a chance here. Gonna go down the the fucking wire, as we all expected.

[Spursox]

Is Birdman better than Tiago?

[ata]

Low-scoring games favor us more than the Heat IMO.
+1

[JohnnySixString]

Just accept the Spurs are going to lose this game...and be pleasantly surprised if they win. Otherwise everyone's going to be kicking in their tv's when they hand the Heat the trophy, lol.

[ata]

Low-scoring games favor us more than the Heat IMO.
+1

[DieHardSpursFan1537]

It wasn't a half bad half. Let's be optimistic. It wasn't bad. But it's going to have to be a big third quarter!

[Ice009]

Just keep playing, sharpen up and stay aggressive on offense and defense. Make things happen.

[noles1983]

Is Birdman better than Tiago?

griner is better than splitter

[GSH]

Tiago Splitter -6 lol.

In four minutes.

[GSH]

I re-watched it and both Boris and Kawhi were WIDE open, passing lanes uncovered. Danny has no vision when it comes to drive and dish though, we already knew this.

Well then he should have passed I reckon. :lol

[Darius Bieber]

Is Birdman better than Tiago?

A traffic cone can play better defense than Splitter at this point.

[jestersmash]

Danny Green is 1-13 in the past 2 games... awful. Bosh has 3 fouls.. GO AFTER HIM.

Law of averages doesn't apply in this situation, but....law of averages :drunk

[Spurs21Fan4Ever]

Just accept the Spurs are going to lose this game...and be pleasantly surprised if they win. Otherwise everyone's going to be kicking in their tv's when they hand the Heat the trophy, lol.

I'm right there with you, though the TV will be off before I see that if Miami holds on.

[ducks]

come out strong not flat
close more pressure on heat

[ata]

Tiago Splitter -6 lol.
Playing in lineup with Green and Neal - not his fault

[RuffnReadyOzStyle]

Well then he should have passed I reckon. :lol

Notice that he NEVER passes off a drive though. It's something he really needs to add to his game in the off-season.

[Spursox]

Green is playing like the Green last years playoffs.. He needs to really snap out of it. Tony or Tim needs to bust his ass in locker room at halftime

[ducks]

our big three is playing better then heat

[Darius McCrary]

Notice that he NEVER passes off a drive though. It's something he really needs to add to his game in the off-season.

If only we could have put Kawhi and Danny in a time machine and had them 2 years into the future :lol

[Floyd Pacquiao]

Just keep fighting guys

[RuffnReadyOzStyle]

Still damn close. The spurs have a chance here. Gonna go down the the fucking wire, as we all expected.

I hope so, but I'm not sure you can say that... we're teetering on the edge of being blown out the whole time until some guys step up.

[Cory Joseph]

Parker seems more willing to attack the paint, hopefully that opens up some shots in the 2nd half.

[Juggity]

Lebron with the bargain bin motivational speech

[RuffnReadyOzStyle]

If only we could have put Kawhi and Danny in a time machine and had them 2 years into the future :lol

Indeed. :lol

[SpursRulez4eVeR]

The heat was couple wideee open 3 points made away from blowing the game open.. If the spurs cant make shoots, their defense wont be enough

[Richie]

I'm really pessimistic right now. I just think Heat look like the better team so far. Fingers crossed Im wrong.

[boutons_deux]

Danny helped getting here, but he's gotta help get us over the finish line

[Crookshanks]

I'm right there with you, though the TV will be off before I see that if Miami holds on.

Me too

[Typical London Boy]

We're lucky to be down by only two. If we start playing, then we should be able to win this.

[Horse]

Only down two refs screwed us. We couldn't hit a shot and they hit alot of jumpers they usually don't hold up.

[RD2191]

The luxury the Heat have is that their role players are more likely to show up at home. 2 of their big 3 can afford a bad game. Spurs dont have that luxury.

[Ellsworth]

Green got paid off by LeRich... someone check his bank statements :lol

Best shooter in the series, now no where to be found :depressed

[Kamala]

Tiago Shitter with significant min in the 2nd half

[Trifecta]

Battier is guarding green. Green needs to do better in his offense

In the off season, Green needs to work on his offense off the dribble vice just being a spot up shooter alone.
He seems uncomfortable trying to score off the dribble.

[dallasmaverickslose]

Lebron with the bargain bin motivational speech
:rollin

[dbreiden83080]

Lebron with the bargain bin motivational speech

Lebron with his "Play hard so I can get all the credit" speech...

[RuffnReadyOzStyle]

This is the 3rd Q of game 7, who on the SPurs will step up???

If the answer is no-one then we'll get blown out.

If the answer is Tim, Tony, and one of Kawhi, Manu, Danny and Boris, we might win this game.

[noles1983]

we gonna win dawg, we got this dawg... please so ghetto

[$pursDynasty]

The fact that a scrub like the birdman can keep Tiago in check, makes me reluctant to give him too big of an extension. I'd prefer to go after David West if that's the case, less tread on the tire but a real man in the post

[timmy2003]

Need to find a way to get green and neal open in the 2nd half.

[spurs10]

Lebron with the bargain bin motivational speech
No joke!

[Tim_duncan21]

Go SPURS Go!!

[dg7md]

Q3 will more or less define the game.

[Duncan21MVP]

Let's shock the world!

Ok, it shouldn't be a shock to any of us, but everyone I've heard is picking the Heat.

[RuffnReadyOzStyle]

We're lucky to be down by only two. If we start playing, then we should be able to win this.

We're playing as hard as we can. The team is clearly tired and beaten up.

[noles1983]

I hope so, but I'm not sure you can say that... we're teetering on the edge of being blown out the whole time until some guys step up.

truth bomb

[Darius McCrary]

Spurs are in great shape. Identical first half to game 6, except we didn't edge out the lead. Futhermore, (just by eyeballing) I think Parker has played less minutes at this first half than in game 6, meaning he'll have energy for the 4th Q.

Pop is assuredly bitching at the team for leaving Battier and Miller so open, and the Heat could have possibly burned out a lot of energy playing flawless superhuman team defense for 2 whole quarters.

We are getting to the FT line (14-15) too.
This is not a bad situation.

[HarlemHeat37]

Danny Green is extremely limited when he's not getting space from 3, tbh..every Spurs fan should know this..

I don't know why people here are acting like he just stopped making shots..Miami finally started running him of the 3 in game 6, and he can't respond because he's a limited offensive player..offensively, when he can't shoot 3s, he's a D-league player, tbh..

Spurs need Green to play defense, though..he's usually a good defender, but he's playing some of the worst defense I've ever seen tonight..

I hope so, but I'm not sure you can say that... we're teetering on the edge of being blown out the whole time until some guys step up.

Have some faith (I know that is weird coming from me). We'll get this done.

Excited about this half.. Leave it all on the court. C'mon role players!!!!

as soon as the hit scores 6 straight at any point in the 2nd half with one of pop's bullshit lineups(and u know they are coming) he should cal timeout.

I'm still hopeful. Faith is not a concept I subscribe to. I'm an existentialist. :lol

Spurs have 8 steals, but only 4 fast break points. The good news is, they only allowed the Heat to get 3 fast break points. They kept the rebounding close, and they outscored the Heat in the paint 24-14. Overall, I'm happy with a low-scoring affair. If it stays low-scoring, it means we have a shot at the end. Someone still has to step up, but that can happen in the closing minutes.

atleast we can assume Parker is going to lift.
