Good stuff.
In short, Heat's defense was really only good at intercepting passes into the bigs. Majority of turnovers were there. Once those passes got inside, however, Miami was helpless. (Duncan 9/10, Splitter 5/6). Spurs are like Indiana (i.e. have a big(s) that trouble the Heat) but unlike the Pacers, the Spurs are a) a good passing team, and b) Spurs bigs have skills and focus (unlike Hibbert this year)
Don't expect a lot of Duncan shots from the elbow this series.
