Heat are beatable. I agree it is not a easy task but they can be beat. I gamble on dere role players............I think Spurs bench is a big big plus over the heat bench.
I think the Spurs would give the Heat the best challenge of any team in the West but nobody is beating the Heat this year in a 7 game series imo.

On PTI, Brian Windhorst said the Spurs are the only team that may give Miami a challenge, partly due to lack of match-up data between the 2 teams..

Yeah Lebron is going to get his no matter who guards him, might as well put Kawhi on Wade and stop the rest of the team. It would be great if Kawhi could make lebron work on the defense end also
I'm not sure Kawhi taking it at Lebron would really do much. I think Spurs need to execute their offensive mostly, but Kawhi in screen and roll with a Duncan or Splitter could be interesting from time to time.
Only Spurs fan would think the Spurs are the better team despite Miami being the defending champs. Despite the fact Miami, the defending champs, went on to improve that championship roster while the Spurs stood pat. I've said before the Spurs match up with Miami the best of any team but let's be real, the Spurs haven't done anything since 2007 but get much older.
The Heat aren't as good defensively as they were in years past. I don't think they can kill us on D'. Their interior defense is mediocre. Their perimeter defenders can be negated with screens. The only teams who can really disrupt the Spurs are the super athletic teams who are also allowed to get away with fouling like OKC and Memphis.
Wade isn't as good as he used to be. I agree that we have no one who can check LeBron. . .because nobody can. But Wade? Nah, he's beatable now. Battier is also old. Miller I think will be checked harder than he was last time when he had that miracle game from three.
DeJuan Blair submarines Lebron and single handedly earns himself finals MVP.
Seriously, it would take a tremendous effort of team ball for 7 games.
Considering you think Miami can't play the same championship D they played last year shows you don't watch much basketball outside of the Spurs. Not surprising considering your takes are amongst the tiest.
BTW in the last 20 games Wade is averaging 24/6/6 2.1 stls, 1.1 blk while shooting 54% from the field.
Oh missed this the first time
Miami is not super athletic? Boy you are stupid
Spurs need to keep HCA by any means necessary, if they were to make it to the Finals and Miami is there they own in Miami.
tf outta here norris cole wannabe, the heat are garbage, epic choke job by the heat in 2011, your team is , making the finals is a cakewalk in the garbage east.
Duncan would have to play out of his mind for the Spurs to have a chance at beating the Heat. The Heat have the personnel to slow down TP/Manu and our 3pt. shooters. The only guy they wouldn't have an answer for would be Timmy.
It'd be a fun series though. Much better than watching KD cry into his fat mother's arms after every game tbh.
You guys have zero presence in the post. What do you have that could possibly counter our Duncan-Splitter combo?Oh missed this the first time

Hey dumbass did you not watch the finals last year? LeBron dominated in the post.
Splitter? Hes soft as they get
Spurs need to hop into the way back machine and get Duncan from the 2003 Finals and this wouldn't even be a series but alas that won't happen. The Spurs would have to kill the second unit with defense and points in order to make this a series and limit Battier and Chalmers and let Lebron get his and to an extent Wade.
What part of that do you not understand?
Who stops TP, they don't have a player or the frontcourt to
LeBron would play TP, Manu would have to be big off the bench, 15 - 20 pts big each game and Green, Leonard need to hit every open 3. Tim will probably get about 14 a game Tiago or whoever we rotate needs to get at least 10 or 12 a game and our bench needs to just play lights out.
Just keep the same level of play and execution. Duncan and Parker have to play at an elite level which could be a lot to ask that out of Duncan but he may have one more push in him given this would truly be his last chance. Honestly don't see the Spurs beating Miami but they can give them a run better than anyone else at the moment. The Spurs just seem to run out of gas in the playoffs but who knows they may just have enough in the tank to get to the finals this year...
Agreed, last year there perimeter players decided to take vacation early, they couldn't hit the broad side of a barn. Pop is smart enough to make adjustments and coach them up but it really depends on what Duncan and TP can do and of course the wild card in Manu. Bench scoring would have to be big since our core is veterans and Lebron will play 48 if he has to and probably will.
