2014 NBA FINALS - Game 1: Heat @ Spurs

[timtonymanu]

Leonard/Green are just non factors today, unfortunately.

[Capt Bringdown]

Ray Allen dunking? What else can go wrong?

[ace3g]

and of course they will review it later on

[Blizzardwizard]

Game over :lol

[Baam]

PATHETIC : TURNOVER AFTER TURNOVER

Heat in 5 if they steal game 1, will destroy the spurs will..

[Sigz]

God we suck

[ballhog]

Fucking refs

[100%duncan]

These guys are choking plain and simple.

[BatManu20]

Spurs falling apart

[Beaverfuzz]

Yep, looking like this is the beginning of the end. Spurs are GASSED!

[hitmanyr2k]

No one wants to shoot right now. Over-passing.

[RD2191]

BAHHAHAHAHHAHAHAHAHAHHAHAHHAHAAAAA

[Quiet Strength]

What is this shit? Fuck

[mclinejr]

:bang

[SpursRulez4eVeR]

seriously stop jacking up jumper and turning the fkin ball over

[Knoxxx]

Van Gundy is the worst announcer ever or at least since Reggie Miller.

[313]

Somehow this is all Marco's fault

[01Snake]

Why don't we just give the fucking game away??????

[Arcadian]

Offense is horrible right now

[loveforthegame]

Turnovers just like last year. smh

[Capt Bringdown]

Chokesters

[r0drig0lac]

Spurs players clearly afraid to play, them all

[tholdren]

danny green tiago splitter = shit

[dg7md]

We were owning the paint with Duncan, why did we go away from that?

[Baam]

The experiments and the extended rotation biting Pop in the ass, should have played your best players since the beginning...

[sammy]

Take bellinelli out! Where the fuck is Manu!

[100%duncan]

Fuck airconditioning. What a fucking disgrace

[TheGoldStandard]

We went away from what was working.. ball movement... no Boris Diaw, no ball movement.. reverting to iso dribble and then passing and people not where they are supposed to be.. overloading one side of the floor.. it's a lot of things... Pop still going with Splitter despite the fact that he doesn't spread the floor, can't score inside and can't guard the 3

[Death In June]

Fucking cunts at the ATT center. Fucking over their own team.

[objective]

Lol

Marco -12

[Knoxxx]

Splitter is such a wuss wide open three feet out and he passes the ball.

[100%duncan]

Nothing's going for us.

[ballhog]

Spurs letting it slip away

[BillMc]

Anybody else International league pass go out?

[RD2191]

:lmao:lmao

[TDfan2007]

Our guys just gave this game away. Classic 3rd quarter meltdown.

[TheGoldStandard]

We were owning the paint with Duncan, why did we go away from that?

Pop didn't play him for a good stretch fell in love with jump shots

[Capt Bringdown]

Miami look like champions

[tholdren]

how many million for a flopping big?

[Johnny RIngo]

-11 for Bellineli...worst MLE signing in Spurs history

[Baam]

Lol

Marco -12

:pop: "he was fantastic, gonna start him in game 2"

[Brazil]

:lol turnovers tbh shhh

[mclinejr]

Chill out, everyone.

See what I did there? :)

[Beaverfuzz]

THROW IT DOWN TIAGO!

[tholdren]

LOL splitter is a great passer

[hitmanyr2k]

I love how all of the Spurs get in the paint and pass. None of these MFs can make a 4 foot shot lol.

[davidbowie]

Get bonner in there

[Horry Hipcheck]

It's a good thing the Heat have been missing.

[SupremeGuy]

SPLITTER!!!!!!!

[ballhog]

Splitter!!!!

[dg7md]

Splitter dunks, finally.

[RD2191]

:lmaoKawhi D

[TheGoldStandard]

If I murdered Tiago I don't think anyone would be upset.

[Beaverfuzz]

Good layup but Jesus Christ...use some scrubs if the team is gassed!

[ballhog]

Splitter again!!!

[SupremeGuy]

Wow, Splitter making a difference...

[timtonymanu]

Terrible 3rd quarter. The Heat are playing like champions. The Spurs aren't.

[Knoxxx]

Heat are done if they can't pull away after we have a 9 turnover quarter we will win this going away.

[Horry Hipcheck]

What an ugly quarter. The Spurs are lucky to be down 4.

[Johnny RIngo]

We were owning the paint with Duncan, why did we go away from that?

Pop was against two awful coaches in the Conference Semis and Conference Finals. Not surprised to see him get outcoached by Spo. Carlisle destroyed him in the first round too.

[Arcadian]

Expecting a much better 4th. We got this

[Blizzardwizard]

19 turnovers. 19. After 3 quarters. What a joke.

[Crookshanks]

Splitter playing with more energy and aggressiveness now - and it results in an And1.

[BanditHiro]

only down 4 but man they have played soft as hell.

[TheGoldStandard]

So embarassing.... no rhythm, no ball movement.. shitty jump shots and no defense.. you have to stay in Lebron's chest, can't let him just shoot open shots

[myhc]

What a joke of a 3rd quarter. It's going to take a neRly perfect quarter to pull this out

[Texas_Ranger]

just dont play Belinelli anymore...

[Captivus]

Who knows what could happen!

[ImDaNuts]

Only a 4 pt game. You'd think you guys were down by 15 the way you guys are talking.

[100%duncan]

Fucking full of pussies. 9 turnovers in one quarter against Lebron James and D Wade. You gotta be fucking kidding me

[ElNono]

well, 4pt game not bad after that fucking mess...

[SanAntonioSpurs23]

Fuckkkkkkk. Come on Spurs

[Capt Bringdown]

If at the end of the game and the Spurs look at the stat sheet and see that they were killed by Ray Allen, the series is over.

[DBMethos]

Take care of the Damn ball. FUCK

[TheGoldStandard]

Can't say that Kawhi is gassed either.. he didn't play big minutes all night long

[hitmanyr2k]

Someone is getting fired tonight if the Spurs lose lol. The A/C guy will be the scapegoat. If the Spurs win it'll be sweat under the bridge.

[Fireball]

the three point defense is soo bad ...

[phxspurfan]

Well, Spurs lucky to be in this one, with the turnovers and overall poor play of many important players (Green, KL).

[Darius Bieber]

lol worked so hard in the season for home court advantage in the finals.... Now it's all gone with the Heat outplaying the Spurs.

[Horry Hipcheck]

Only a 4 pt game. You'd think you guys were down by 15 the way you guys are talking.

If the Heat were making their shots, the Spurs would be getting blown out.

[sammy]

Need patty, Manu & Timmy back in!

[mclinejr]

We still got this.

[RD2191]

I'm done if the Spurs lose this game. Losing home court after working for it all year. Fucking failing harder than the Pacers. Tbh.

[BillMc]

Damn, my league pass cuts out with a tie game and I come back and we're down. Damn. Damn. Damn.

[TDfan2007]

Jesus what an awful quarter. Spurs have been so maddeningly Jekyll and Hyde this postseason.

[DAF86]

Tony, Green, Leonard, Boris, Duncan to start the 4th.

[Captivus]

Diaw - TD - Manu
Those 3 need minutes in the fourth

[Amuseddaysleeper]

Spurs are struggling to getting any high wulity shots while Miami is always hitting the open man

[Danny.Zhu]

Stop making TOs!

[313]

just dont play Belinelli anymore...
PLEASE POP

[Spurs21Fan4Ever]

If Spurs get their heads out of their butts and if flukefest ends, Spurs have a chance.

[wildbill2u]

Whoever is guarding Kwahi has taken him out of the offense I guess.

[spurtech09]

um I think the heat if finally getting to the spurs...and no I don't mean the Miami heat....I mean the heat inside the at&t stadium

[spurspokesman]

Parker looks 50 percent and belli sucks

[DMC]

Kawhi isn't gassed, he's enamored. He's in a big game and he's mentally lost. Too much happening too fast and he's trying to play his role. All this and the Spurs can still win this game.

[crc21209]

Belinelli made so many stupid decisions in that qtr. He shouldnt play 1 min in the 4th. Gotta go with your best. Enough fucking around..

[smaka]

Worst quarter of the playoffs

[Horse]

Can someone tell me why the fuck they are throwing the game? Those were not defensive turnovers.

[tholdren]

splitter is just not worth a shit in the woods. Green and Marco should be fired.

Why is Cujo not playing over Marco?

[Crookshanks]

19 turnovers. 19. After 3 quarters. What a joke.

I think part of it has to do with the A/C not working. The floor and the player's hands are slick with sweat. I think the heat is also contributing to the players being gassed already. Just totally unacceptable that the A/C isn't working yet.

[100%duncan]

The airconditioning is shameful. It's the NBA finals and you screw up

[hommeaetage]

How can you been 2 ft within the basket wide open and pass it out?:bang

[RuffnReadyOzStyle]

The heat is clearly affecting the decision making of many of the players. Why have we got guys going away from their sweet spots and trying things they don't usually do???

Calm the fuck down and do what you do well, for fucksake Spurs!!! :flag:

[Fireball]

Kawhi needs to get into some kind of rhythm ... sadly the Heat do a good job securing the defensive rebound as well

[Horry Hipcheck]

This 4th quarter will be like Game 6 against OKC.

[Mrcoon]

the arena heat is definitely affecting the Spurs passing...hands are too sweaty.

[Splits]

Well, got our 3rd quarter nemesis out of the way. Time to play something resembling Spurs basketball to put this away

[RD2191]

Green hasn't been any better than Marco, tbh.

[hitmanyr2k]

The Spurs simply need to stop turning down make-able shots. They're constantly passing into tougher shots or just simply passing to the defense lol.

[spurtech09]

I hope the spurs start playing better....overcome the heatwave

[TheGoldStandard]

Whoever is guarding Kwahi has taken him out of the offense I guess.

He had a fast break and decided to pass... he drove in the paint and hesitated.. He's a mental midget tonight.

[Richie]

Only down 4, we deserve to be down more. Need more Big 3 + Kawhi, the roleplayers are having to do too much

[Horse]

And why pop kept them in there?

[Ice009]

This is the point where you can't be deflated. We we fucking horrible in that quarter and are only down 4, that is a good way to look at it. Spurs can play much, much better than that. Let's go Spurs. Go all out in this 4th quarter and TAKE IT FROM THEM.

[100%duncan]

Doris Burke you stupid bitch :lol

[spurtech09]

the arena heat is definitely affecting the Spurs passing...hands are too sweaty.yep

[Capt Bringdown]

The airconditioning is shameful. It's the NBA finals and you screw up

Hasn't phased the Heat.

[Perry Mason]

Can someone tell me why the fuck they are throwing the game? Those were not defensive turnovers.

That's my observation. The turnovers are just because of bad passes to stationary guys being fronted. Passes are slow and telegraphed. I suppose it is the actual heat and not the Heat.

[RD2191]

:lmaoSpurs defense

[Horry Hipcheck]

Play your game, Spurs.

[Texas_Ranger]

i guess Tim cant play over 30 minutes...

[spurtech09]

might be to little to late....heat got the lead

[Beaverfuzz]

Holy shit, Tiago realizes he's wide open and scores repeatedly!

[dg7md]

Put Tim in the fucking game.

[smaka]

Fatty doesnt want to play :lol

[Horry Hipcheck]

Manu's force feeding Chalmers fouls tonight

[RD2191]

Cole gonna go off

[ballhog]

Tiago looks red as a beet!!

[Beaverfuzz]

yep

Both teams are affected. Next butthurt question.

[dg7md]

Mario Chalmers playing shit tier. :lol

[hitmanyr2k]

And Splitter did the same shit Duncan did. Had a wide open lane and hedged on the shot instead of going right up with it. Those hesitations allows the defense to catch up. They're playing with their heads up their ass.

[lurker]

You know Pop is pissed when he didn't even make a joke about the AC

[100%duncan]

WTF?

[Beaverfuzz]

Fuck you Kenny Mauer.

[Strategic]

I went ahead and turned off the ac here at the house. Now I'm drinking more beer.

[spurtech09]

spurs should be up but the heat air is cleaning the spurs

[timtonymanu]

Splitter is finally taking advantage.

[SupremeGuy]

LOL how isn't that a 3 point play? refs c'mon

[Mal]

Oh yeah, hit the roll men

[Brazil]

Splitter shitting on haters per par

[Beaverfuzz]

Holy shit, Mauer changed his mind!

[SupremeGuy]

Damn. Ok refs, good job.

[Horry Hipcheck]

Splitter One Up!

[Beaverfuzz]

DEFENSE!

[TheGoldStandard]

HGH Kicking in???

[spurtech09]

now its time for the spurs to make a run.....blowout the heat

[dg7md]

Running our offense through Tiago. :lol

[313]

Manu Tiago PnR magic

[Horry Hipcheck]

Manu and TD need to go to work.

[ballhog]

Funny when Spurs try to ramp up the D, fouls aplenty

[hitmanyr2k]

Like I said earlier Ginobili and Splitter have great chemistry. They should come off the bench together and let Diaw start.

[SupremeGuy]

Fuck U bosh!

[spurtech09]

bosh with those funky threes

[BatManu20]

Bosh not missing from 3 tbh

[Beaverfuzz]

TURNOBLI!

[dg7md]

Wow lucky bail out by the refs on that Bosh three.

[RD2191]

MANU WTF

[Brazil]

Oh fuck turnovers tbh

not gonna win like that dear god

[01Snake]

I'd be pissed if I paid big bucks for a ticket to sit in 90 degree temps INSIDE. haha

[Horry Hipcheck]

DAMN ITTTT

[100%duncan]

Wow fuck you guys

[spurtech09]

spurs needs better ball movement...better shooters

[Brazil]

Come on !!!!!fuck fuck fuck

[BatManu20]

Wow Kawhi

[TheGoldStandard]

Such shitty passing

[Horry Hipcheck]

Terrible passing.

[Beaverfuzz]

Good night.

[Texas_Ranger]

fucking pathetic.

[SupremeGuy]

fuck

[Horry Hipcheck]

Fucking hell.

[hitmanyr2k]

Is the ball slippery or something? lol.

[SupremeGuy]

and that's game

[Mrcoon]

Leonard has been no help - damn

[100%duncan]

You lost this game you fucks. How many turnovers are that?

[RD2191]

What a fukin choke job, these faggots gonna lose in 5. Maybe get swept. Fuk this shit.

[Death In June]

22 turnovers? What. the. fuck.

[ElNono]

wow

[Capt Bringdown]

Ball game.

[loveforthegame]

These turnovers. Every one of them.

Stupid foul Timmy.

[dg7md]

Game over.

[BanditHiro]

Dagger.

[313]

lmaoooooo

[Blizzardwizard]

I'm done:lmao

[timtonymanu]

Props, Miami. They clearly want this more.

[Baam]

Abortion ball tbh...

[spurtech09]

its clear the ball is slippery.......looks like the heat is gonna get this one

[Mal]

keep your shit together ffs

[r0drig0lac]

tsc tsc turnovers, turnovers, turnovers

[TheGoldStandard]

Oh well..

[Crookshanks]

I don't think Timmy even touched him. Stupid refs with their stupid whistles!

[Darius Bieber]

Heat will sweep this pathetic performance in the finals.

[Captivus]

Scared of taking shots.

[Horry Hipcheck]

Welp, 9 and a half minutes to dig yourselves out of a hole.

[ballhog]

Bosh and those fucking 3's

[SanAntonioSpurs23]

I thought the Spurs "wanted" this.

[hitmanyr2k]

Christ. Bruce Bowen would foul out of every game if he played today the way they're calling fouls on threes :lol

[Spurs da champs]

Kawhi is just awful.

[Spurs21Fan4Ever]

Just a giant flukefest for these lucky fuckers.

[servalli]

game fucking over :sleep

[TheGoldStandard]

Kawhi needs to go to the D League with tonights performance.

[DBMethos]

So much for all the 2013 motivation talk.

[noles1983]

fucking spurs going full retard

[Rummpd]

Spurs sucking it up - up 9 in 3rd to down 7 due to poor play, turnovers and shitty shooting.

[Ice009]

DO NOT QUIT. if the Spurs quit at this point I will never respect them again. DO NOT QUIT. KEEP PLAYING.

STOP with the idiotic bounce pass turnovers. Stop throw the ball out for Miami players to grab. Let's go!

[Horry Hipcheck]

Fucking cliff jumpers, god damn I just want to read basketball posts.

[Knoxxx]

Just watch Duncan is well rested an about to go off on Miami.

[soxxx]

Fucking embarassing that they couldnt get the A/C fixed, this team lives off of good ball movement, which is a lot harder if the ball is slippery.

[Shaolin-Style]

I'd like to think these players could actually figure out how to throw something as simple as an entry pass without screwing up, but apparently the broken ac has fried their brains.

[Ice009]

DO NOT QUIT. if the Spurs quit at this point I will never respect them again. DO NOT QUIT. KEEP PLAYING.

STOP with the idiotic bounce pass turnovers. Stop throw the ball out for Miami players to grab. Let's go!

[Floyd Pacquiao]

Meh just dumb turnovers tbh, somthing they can clean up

[Quiet Strength]

So the spurs waited a year to play like this all over again..

[Amuseddaysleeper]

Spurs gonna lose this series in 5

[SupremeGuy]

The Spurs simply need to stop turning down make-able shots. They're constantly passing into tougher shots or just simply passing to the defense lol.This, tbh. If we lost, this is the whole reason why. With Green and Leonard missing shots, the heat can play the passing lanes without worry.

[myhc]

No way we win this. No way. Unless we don't turn the ball over again this quarter and play perfect, were done. There goes home court.

[TDfan2007]

Bosh isn't missing. Great game from him. Our guys can't even make a pass...

[hommeaetage]

Spurs are not winning this game, not with 20+ turnovers

[weeks]

you guys are giving up way too early

[davidbowie]

We
Don't deserve to win with these garbage ass turnovers fuckin christ

[Perry Mason]

The easy turnovers baffle me. Miami is trapping but that is not where the ball is being lost. It's lack of movement on the court, lack of picks and cutting.

[ElNono]

they're jumping all the passing lanes, you gotta give them credit too...

[Strategic]

Clearly disappointed in KL and DG so far. Maybe can get this thing turned around with someone off the bench.

[spurtech09]

its clear Miami knows how to take care of the ball....spurs don't...the ball is slippery.....I just hope they get they air conditioning fixed.....or move it to the Alamo dome.....looks like the spurs are going to lose tonight....great

[noles1983]

soft, spurs, soft. pass to the right fucking team, grow some fucking balls

[BanditHiro]

Christ. Bruce Bowen would foul out of every game if he played today the way they're calling fouls on threes :lol

to be fair he is the reason they started to call it nowadays

[urunobili]

:vomit:

[Capt Bringdown]

Danny and Leonard shit the bed.

[sammy]

I don't think Timmy even touched him. Stupid refs with their stupid whistles!

Yeah fuck refs bailing these bitches out!

[hitmanyr2k]

The Spurs will mount a comeback and this will go down in history as the "A/C" game.

[hommeaetage]

I saw at least 4 possessions where guys pass open open shots for stupid shots

[SpurPadre]

We waited all year for THIS?! Really?!

[RD2191]

Spurs gonna lose this series in 5

[mclinejr]

There's still a lot of time left, guys. Calm down.

[RD2191]

We waited all year for THIS?! Really?!

[ImDaNuts]

It's a 7 game series. Game not even over yet and Spurs fans ready to jump :rollin

[Ice009]

Spurs gonna lose this series in 5

YOU'RE a straight up pussy. You never quit in the playoffs. You keep playing your ass off and see what you can do. You can throw away games in the regular season but you never quit when it's money time. Keep playing.

[spursparker9]

Bosh is huge

[spurtech09]

things don't look good at all

[PingPong]

The broken air conditioning trick didn't payed off tbh...

:D

[smaka]

Uh...

[Fireball]

Spurs are not winning this game, not with 20+ turnovers you would have to win the rebound battle decisively, but the Spurs cannot get any offensive rebounds either

[Capster]

The number of turnovers is ridiculous!!!! Get it together SPURS!!!!!

[th3answ3r]

fuck this games not over

[Diego20]

Manu haters logic, Manu 2 turnovers TURNOBILLI. Parker 3 turnovers MVPARKER.

[spurtech09]

spurs younger guys don't know how to deal with this air condition lol

[RD2191]

Hope we can avoid the sweep, tbh.

[TheGoldStandard]

Don't worry.. Pop will make an adjustment.. Bonner for game 2

[Capt Bringdown]

7 pt lead huge

[RD2191]

This game and series are over.

[Captivus]

Why doesnt Kawhi open his mouth 100% to breath?

[Horry Hipcheck]

Just start getting some stops, damn it. It's only a six point game.
