2014 NBA Finals, Game 3 - San Antonio Spurs @ Miami Heat

[dg7md]

miami shot 55%fg 50%3fg and 70% ft and are down by 21

They know how we feel... we led them in almost all positive stats in game 2 and still lost (due to free throws). We'd have a chance to go up 3-0 this series realistically if we hit those tbh...

[Trill Clinton]

tony looks sluggish chasing ray allen around on that bum ankle.

[rogues]

:lol fluke shooting performance
:lol breaking NBA finals' records everywhere

[Fireball]

Miami will have more runs in them, Spurs just have to have another few of their own to keep a 10+ point lead ... hopefully Green can continue with his defensive impact and make some more 2 pointers

[Brazil]

Wut ?

Nvm

[gilmor]

Your fellow country man started it. Tell him to stfu already.

Fuck.. I am not even french.. I just enjoyed the Big 3 playing together..

Tbh, once the big 3 retired, you guys still will bitch about Parker..

[SpurPadre]

Great stuff offensively, so so defensively. This game is still chokeable, tbh.

[TheGoldStandard]

LOL ESPN doesn't know how to spin this so... Donald Sterling talk

[Captivus]

Wut ?

Math baby!!
11 Pts less every quarter for the Spurs...

[Malik Hairston]

Danny and Kawhi should play 40 per game in the Finals, their impact on the game is ridiculous, tbh..

[ElNono]

:lmao historical half by the Spurs... let's talk about Sterling

[spurspokesman]

Pop forcing the other heat players to carry the load. Trap LeBron, cling to allen and live with the rest as long as most shots are contested

[dg7md]

:lol fluke shooting performance
:lol breaking NBA finals' records everywhere

Nice try... but blame the Heat's shitty defense for our offense. We're the best offensive team in the NBA... not that flukey.

[Guajalote]

Why do we have to listen about this PUKE instead of halftime analysis? Grrrrrr!!!

[BillMc]

tony looks sluggish chasing ray allen around on that bum ankle.

Only place to hide him.

It's amazing how both these teams are matchup nightmares for each other. But it makes for exciting basketball.

[TheGoldStandard]

:lmao historical half by the Spurs... let's talk about Sterling

Ridiculous but oh so delicious..

[Brazil]

Danny and Kawhi should play 40 per game in the Finals, their impact on the game is ridiculous, tbh..

Agreed

these two are a formidable duo tbh

[hommeaetage]

They gonna go HAM in the 3rd, Spurs need to get the lead out of their head and play like the game is 0-0

[Trill Clinton]

man i love the jewish hammer but i don't wanna see him on my screen right now.

[dg7md]

Ridiculous but oh so delicious..

Media all salty not wanting to talk about us and their beloved Heat failing so they damage control into Sterling discussion. :lol

[703 Spurz]

Wow, just wow. ROFL BIGGEST CHOKE OF ALL TIME, IM OUT, FUK THIS

Must be opposite day huh? :sleep

[hitmanyr2k]

tony looks sluggish chasing ray allen around on that bum ankle.

Everyone looks sluggish chasing Ray Allen having to fight through those screens. It's smart. Tony is semi-injured. Ginobili is old. The only two players I think can keep up with Ray on the move is Danny Green and Patty Mills. They need Green more for Wade or Lebron though. Mills is really pesky. He annoys the shit out of whoever he defends lol.

[01Snake]

Am I the only one that cannot stand the new Commish? He's an arrogant prick.

[Kool Bob Love]

Fuck.. I am not even french.. I just enjoyed the Big 3 playing together..

Tbh, once the big 3 retired, you guys still will bitch about Parker..

Lol my bad b. spurs got my test up after this amazing half.

i can't speak for lefty but spurs win you won't hear me bitch about Parker.

:flag:

[Fireball]

catching up from 20 points down always takes a huge amount of energy .... Miamis run will come in the third, but everybody has to stay calm, Spurs need to continue to move the ball to tire them out even more. Then have one of our signature 4th quarter where the Spurs just put the hammer down ...

[BillMc]

Leonard and LeBron have the exact same time on the court in the first half. Coincidence? :lol

[TampaDude]

As long as the Spurs don't follow up the best half in Finals history with the worst half in Finals history, they should take Game 3.

Of course, anything is possible with Tony Brothers out there. Be ready for the refs to tighten this game up by the 4th quarter.

[TheGoldStandard]

Media all salty not wanting to talk about us and their beloved Heat failing so they damage control into Sterling discussion. :lol

If Miami were up or tied it would be.. "James is GOD" I love this.. If Miami can't break the lead by mid 3rd you'll see someone fake something and the media will jump on that.. or Lebron will say, "Oh I tweaked something early but I played on"

[dg7md]

If we keep a 15+ lead late into the third, if I were Spo, I'd pull the starters and save them for game 4... the Heat are an old team too. Saving LeBron is especially important, considering his cramp could play a part later in the series. Concede if it looks grim as a strategy... Pop style.

[mVp]

If we lose this game it will be a choke job of epic proportions tbh.

[$pursDynasty]

LOL ESPN doesn't know how to spin this so... Donald Sterling talk
This

[Captivus]

Am I the only one that cannot stand the new Commish? He's an arrogant prick.

Im starting to like him.
I think the press conferences are great, he answers a lot of questions.

I cant say I know what he does behind doors...

[mclinejr]

Parker looked tired. I'm wondering if that injury is still bothering him.

[Malik Hairston]

Spurs need to stick with 2-way players in the 2nd half, don't blow this shit, tbh..no Bonner, no Belinelli..

If Tony's ankle is bothering him, don't push him too much..

Manu needs to relax, too, he was too out of control for the latter half of that quarter..

[dg7md]

Make the Heat tired tbh... it'll help a lot in game 4.

[spurspokesman]

Wow the NBA and espn really have there priorities twisted

[Fireball]

I fear the Heat will get the calls in the third like the Spurs got in the first quarter ...

[Brazil]

:lol I'm sure you would love that but it's not going to happen

[smaka]

So I missed an epic half?

[4001 STEREO SPUR]

:flag:
GO!!! SPURS GO!!!
:flag:
:lobt: :lobt: :lobt: :lobt: :lobt:

[TheGoldStandard]

Can't let up.. No Belli, Green and Kawhi, ball movement, dumping it into the paint and attacking... exploit the open three on that drive and kick.. Lots of Diaw ball movement. Tiago and Bonner in limited minutes... maybe even baynes on birdman...

[dg7md]

If we lose this game it will be a choke job of epic proportions tbh.

Indeed, but still wouldn't top 6., for obvious reasons... I don't think we could choke this, not even we could...

[BillMc]

Hope Tony keeps swinging the ball and doesn't go for "FInals MVP" in the second half.

[Captivus]

https://scontent-b-sea.xx.fbcdn.net/hphotos-xpf1/t1.0-9/10426533_10203416181759265_8815385295136637346_n.j pg

WOW!!

[spurspokesman]

Hopefully the spurs hang on

[dg7md]

So I missed an epic half?

Best Spurs half all season... probably up there with all-time halves, such a great offensive display.

[Fireball]

So I missed an epic half? Spurs just shot 75.8% from the field without dunking the ball once ...

edit: ok, Kawhi had one breakaway dunk, but thats it ...

[soxxx]

2 quarters left. It was a positive sign that when the Heat did cut the game down to 14, the Spurs responded and extended it back to 21.

In reality though, the Heat scored 50 points this half. If the Spurs can score 40 more points then they will have 110. Can the Heat score 60 more after only scoring 50 AND shooting a high percentage; no they should not. So the Heat will probably cut into this but this is a very tall task, especially considering they are going against the top competition in the league.

On the flipside, the Spurs cannot afford to lose this, it would be devastating on another level. So hopefully they close this out and get the W, Go Spurs Go!

You're forgetting that Spo. is a dumb ass.

[tholdren]

they are shooting 50% on threes....

We have to continue to attack and not be scared. If we try to run out the clock we will lose.

I am better than chalmers

[RD2191]

If we lose this game it will be a choke job of epic proportions tbh.

[Spurs21Fan4Ever]

I said I'm afraid this will be exactly like the Dallas series. Spurs better not choke a big lead like they did in game 3 of that series.

[moisaenz]

haha that scrub chalmers..

[Manu20Ginobili]

:lol
It was hard to find bosh in that pic

[TheGoldStandard]

Gotta keep attacking.. can't dribble dribble dribble... if parker doesn't have it, gotta pull him.

[Trill Clinton]

Everyone looks sluggish chasing Ray Allen having to fight through those screens. It's smart. Tony is semi-injured. Ginobili is old. The only two players I think can keep up with Ray on the move is Danny Green and Patty Mills. They need Green more for Wade or Lebron though. Mills is really pesky. He annoys the shit out of whoever he defends lol.

yea patty looks like he'd be the best option on him when tony is out.

If Tony's ankle is bothering him, don't push him too much..

Manu needs to relax, too, he was too out of control for the latter half of that quarter..


:tu

[BatManu20]

Gotta stay aggressive this half. Don't turn into a jump shooting team. Get them in foul trouble, get some easy points from the line. Manu, just take care of the ball.

[BillMc]

Danny with a nice game going to the hoop tonight. Who knew?

[myhc]

Have to be aggressive and not relax. The Heat are going to make a huge run. Have to withstand that and keep it up with the ball movement

[Horse]

Still so negative enjoy it atleast for min.

[TheGoldStandard]

Don't leave your man... stay on them.. no open 3's... nobody should be trailing into the paint on the perimeter defense.

[SupremeGuy]

Gotta keep attacking.. can't dribble dribble dribble... if parker doesn't have it, gotta pull him.Pop doesn't have the balls, tbh.

[mvparker]

Ok so we had Sterling at the half, commercials and... that's it? what a fucking joke...

[Shastafarian]

https://scontent-b-sea.xx.fbcdn.net/hphotos-xpf1/t1.0-9/10426533_10203416181759265_8815385295136637346_n.j pg

Awesome game

[BillMc]

Wade officially a role player in this series so far.

[DBMethos]

Total fail of a halftime show.

[TheGoldStandard]

If I see one more play where 4 defenders are in the paint and there are 2 perimeter shooters hanging out open at the 3 point line I will burst

[Malik Hairston]

Spurs can't over-play Wade like they did in the 2nd quarter, tbh..as long as Belinelli isn't guarding him and giving him easy looks, Wade shouldn't be a concern..he's just going to shoot mid-range shots and take difficult shots towards the basket..as long as he doesn't get FTAs, live with him shooting all night, don't leave their shooters open..

I'd rather have Green guarding Allen and Manu on Wade, anyways..

[SupremeGuy]

https://scontent-b-sea.xx.fbcdn.net/hphotos-xpf1/t1.0-9/10426533_10203416181759265_8815385295136637346_n.j pg:toast

Actually, if Miami led 71-50, they would've had Sage Steele come down to their locker room and record her fellating all of them.

[RD2191]

I'm changing the channel if they cut it to 10.:lol

[TE]

I'm changing the channel if they cut it to 10.:lol
Rofl It's bound to happen. I am too

Fuck here it comes

I'm out.

Oh jesus...

Hilarious! I tried explaining this to my wife, but it made me look like a nerd.

[timtonymanu]

And that to start, damn.

[BatManu20]

Danny literally can't go without comitting dumb fouls tbh

[BanditHiro]

and here we go

[Gervin44Silas13]

these guys cant let up

[RD2191]

Bye

[BatManu20]

Great start Spurs. Jesus

[TE]

Wow

[TheGoldStandard]

Good time out.. shitty defense.. bad ball movement.

[timtonymanu]

per par :rolleyes

[Spurs21Fan4Ever]

Awesome. Lucky fuckers.

[Captivus]

SMH

[mclinejr]

Nobody was guarding him.

[Malik Hairston]

Diaw passing up an open 3, leads to a tough Green shot attempt..Boris needs to fucking shoot those 3s, all night..

[soxxx]

I think I might go to sleep and not deal with the stress. Just tell me the Spurs got the W!

[Baam]

Play Tiago for a while, Tim just staring at Bosh...

[Captivus]

Parker out. Too slow, no ideas.

[SpursRulez4eVeR]

don't hesitate to shoot now

[TE]

The Heat look much better in terms of energy. Bad sign...

[BatManu20]

Complete lack of focus is all. Spurs content with that lead for some reason. Better wake up

[spurspokesman]

Here we go

[Uriel]

Fuck.

[Amuseddaysleeper]

Spurs are always shit in the third quarter

Please don't choke this game guys!!

[r0drig0lac]

just inattention and stupidity everywhere

[BanditHiro]

yep it was inevitable. Bosh making everything was not supposed to happen this series and it has.

[myhc]

Right on cue. Jesus

[TheGoldStandard]

Gotta shoot open shots.. Green driving is only good for so long.. more ball movement until you're open.

Booked.

:lmao

[cd98]

48 minutes!!!!!

[maverick1948]

I thought they passed the rule that jumping into a player sideways was not a foul. Did I miss the change back?

[Gervin44Silas13]

wtf....fuck you Bosh fuck you raptor looking motherfucker!!!!!

[myhc]

Defense, not offense will win this game.

[TheGoldStandard]

Can't leave anyone open

[hitmanyr2k]

Miami wants to get in a running game. They're going to push off every miss.

[Malik Hairston]

I have a bad feeling about Parker and Duncan's defense against an energized Miami team, tbh..hopefully I'm wrong..

[Rummpd]

Horrible start = Spurs have not shut down Heat 3 all night time to turn up the defense

[Baam]

:wow

:lol And Boris should have shot twice on that possession :depressed...

[TE]

Just stick to your man and stop being stupid.

[Uriel]

Just noticed now. Bellinelli with 0 first half minutes. :tu

[Spurs21Fan4Ever]

Still waiting for Lewis and Bosh to come back to reality and miss shots.

[100%duncan]

We're in for a tough ride. I know you all know that :lol

[Two10Whitey]

Don't blame bosh blame the defense.

[Baam]

The offense is bound to regress so the defense will have to step up...

[TE]

I have a bad feeling about Parker and Duncan's defense against an energized Miami team, tbh..hopefully I'm wrong..
Yep...they feel their backs to the wall. Miami always responds well against adversity.

[dg7md]

Still waiting for Lewis and Bosh to come back to reality and miss shots.

Lewis will... Bosh might not, he's pretty good at the three ball now.

Still not worried tbh.

[moisaenz]

Spurs still need to defend.

[Gervin44Silas13]

leave that cocksucker alone

[Malik Hairston]

Gotta shoot open shots.. Green driving is only good for so long.. more ball movement until you're open.

Green was put in a bad position by Diaw, tbh, there was 5 left on the shot clock..

Diaw needs to take his fucking open shots, he kills the offense when he passes up open shots..

[sammy]

wtf....fuck you Bosh fuck you raptor looking motherfucker!!!!!

That bitch is the ugliest mother fucker ever! I just want to reach into the tv & punch that bitch out!

[100%duncan]

Fucking hero ball

[hitmanyr2k]

Back to hero ball. Great.

Of course refs become a factor

[davethedope]

[313]

here come the zebras

Man...

[phxspurfan]

Gotta give it to the Heat for responding. Spurs completely falling apart.

Shit... Wade is revved up. He's deadlier than LeBron when he's on tbh.

[loveforthegame]

Duncan. :bang

[BatManu20]

Spurs are completely going away from what got them that lead in the first half. So dumb

chalmers sucks

Shit... Wade is revved up. He's deadlier than LeBron when he's on tbh.

Manu with the idiotic shot

[dg7md]

Manu having a shitty game per par... Timmy diving for the ball is great, he's got a lot of heart in this series.

[TheGoldStandard]

Refs can only do this for so long.. SPurs have to weather this

[phxspurfan]

lol Spurs offense crumbling to zero

[ffadicted]

getting sloppy boys

[hitmanyr2k]

Gino needs to stop the quick threes and go to the rim. Put the pressure on the defense like Kawhi is doing.

[BanditHiro]

Manu and Parker shitting the bed per par

[BatManu20]

Wth was that Boris

[Darius Bieber]

Game over tbh. Heat got this in the bag.

[TheGoldStandard]

Diaw fouled no call

[TE]

All out of sorts. Bad

[Baam]

Manu in full Turnobili mode and Green with 4 fouls, recipe for disaster

[phxspurfan]

I think they have 4 points so far in this quarter

[loveforthegame]

Wow. :lol

[dg7md]

The Heat are playing strong, I'm liking that we haven't buckled down too far yet.

[Rummpd]

horrible 3rd quarter

[tholdren]

chalmers sucks
He is one of those players that i almost think anyone can be in the nba now that he starts for a championship team. hes always been terrible

[313]

Refs can only do this for so long.. SPurs have to weather this
They can do it for as long as they want tbh

[Baam]

Manu is so bad on both ends...
