Game Thread: Spurs vs. Heat - Mar. 31 @ 6:00 PM CST

[Blizzardwizard]

Missed threes, turnovers and crappy refs were a combination of an awful night.

[timtonymanu]

The call doesn't change anything. We saw exactly everything that is wrong with the Spurs.

Good luck getting past the 2nd round, tbh.

[hommeaetage]

Missed most of the game. Why was Bonner closing out the game?

[Budkin]

Pop being outcoached by Spoelstra. I just can believe this .

Why? He got out coached by Brooks.

[loveforthegame]

Only Duncan and Leonard were consistent. Everyone else pretty much the bed.

[siraulo23]

spurs trolled, heat showed how to beat a team without their big 2 plus chalmers

[russellgoat]

Cole gave the spurs a taste of their own medicineeeee...

[HI-FI]

so does timvp give Parker his requisite B- for choking, playoffesque performance?

[spurtech09]

might as well hang up the boots....nothing the spurs can do......stern doesn't like the spurs

[Obstructed_View]

yeah spurs should of blown out the heat but you have to blame this on the refs......and im afraid this is not going to stop either........its goning to travel into the play offs...spurs don't have a chance at all with the refs screwing things up

If they come out flat in third quarters, make stupid plays, waste possessions, get numerous shot clock violations, don't pass to each other, and leave games close, they get what they deserve tbh.

Popovich=Overrated coach

TD had some craptacular turnovers throughout the game, though that led to points for the Heat. His passing was just horrendous today.

[Blizzardwizard]

Popovich=Overrated coach

[Johnny RIngo]

blaming the refs for losing to the Heat without Lebron and Wade is pathetic, tbh..

The game should have never been this close..

Yup. This is as embarassing as it gets - for Pop, for Parker(he's supposed to be our first option, right?), for the whole team.

SA hasn't looked good in weeks - every recent game has been close and it was only a matter of time until they lost one. We just don't have the iso talent to win against the top teams.

It's too bad Harden went to the Rockets because no team has a chance against the Heat. Thunder will try in the Finals but will fall short like last year.

[BatManu20]

What say you now? If not for that play, the game's tied.

I say the game should never have been close in the first place. If you can't beat a team that's missing their 2 best players and another goo role player on your home court, you deserve to lose.

[SanAntonioSpurs23]

Lose lose situation anyway. Like we could beat the Heat in the finals anyway

[SanAntonioSpurs23]

Double post

[szkorhetz]

We have 9 games to wake up. 9 ing games. If we face the Lakers, it is an instant first round exit, tbh.

[spurtech09]

Good luck getting past the 2nd round, tbh.

goodluck getting past the first quarter of round 1 refs are the fav.

[Strategic]

spurs went to miami and didn't let any stars play to close the game in the closing moments. heat come to town and let bosh and allen play. plenty of star to close this one.

[spurs10]

Duncan takes a poor shot on one end and then loses bosh on the defense. oh well

Duncan can't guard two people at once.

[Budkin]

Game shouldn't have been close enough for the refs to matter.

[Obstructed_View]

Why? He got out coached by Brooks.

And Lionel Hollins, and Alvin Gentry, and Rick Carlisle, and Phil Jackson, and Avery Johnson...

[spurtech09]

maybe the spurs are not that good

[Johnny RIngo]

so does timvp give Parker his requisite B- for choking, playoffesque performance?

What we saw tonight was worse than playoff Parker. At least playoff Parker can get twenty points on low efficiency. This was an early glimpse of TOSB Parker - expect more of this in the coming years.
