1/10
If Manu and Timmy show up, it'll be interesting. Otherwise we're ed. Timmy's been solid so far in the playoffs, but he's been inconsistent with the outside shot which he desperately needs to hit against Miami.
I think the Spurs can do it if they play smart. Parker and Duncan will play great, but Green and Leonard will be key. If they can make Wade and LeBron earn everything they get, then the Spurs will win the series. What I'm honestly most worried about is Stern and the refs. LeBron gets babied, and I have a feeling anytime Leonard plays good D on LeBron the refs will call a foul for their precious LeBron, and that means Spurs won't be able to guard LeBron. We're in a day in age where Stern and the refs have a huge impact on NBA games, and it may show in the Finals. If the reffing is fine though, Spurs are very capable of pulling this win off.
50/50. Now it gets rough. It's possible, though. Miami thinks they're en led. The Spurs might be too hungry for them.
Ginobili is the X factor. Unfortunately, he's not looking like much of a threat against Miami.
I can't stand takes like this.. If you think the games are basically rigged why are you watching the games? The WWE might suit you better. Saying you are worried about Stern as in you are claiming he will somehow instruct the refs to rig games.. GMAFB..
5/10. Honestly, I don't think the Heats defence is all it's cracked up to be. The Pacers have a horrible offence and have had no problem putting up big numbers on the Heat, even in the blowout last night they had 54 in a half.
we got a chance but if the Heat role players go HAM, no chance.
Not very, but I wasn't going into the playoffs. If Tony is able to thrive despite the Heat's D, then the Spurs can win.
On a scale of 1-10?
I'm a 7.
I freaking love our defense this postseason. Splitter and Duncan have completely shut down the paint. And Parker just keeps running on offense. He looks unstoppable. I think we got this. The only thing I'm worried about is not having home court advantage, though the long layoff should help us a lot.
Amazing how many people have billed the Heat into Jordan's modern day Bulls.. They are not unbeatable..
Of course the Spurs are real compe ion for the Heatles. I mean Dallas? OKC? Deep down in their Big 3's heads they know they better respect this team's Big 3.
These Spurs have flashes of brilliance followed by piss poor play in which they defeat themselves more than another team defeats them. They frequently look disconcerted or frantic. But they somehow keep pulling out wins. They looked/appeared much more crisp and unbeatable last year, despite their defense being worse. This year, their defense is far superior and they just look like a longshot.
I hope, I want to believe, and I will not be surprised to find them pulling it out of their asses again. It's gonna be a of a wild ride.
Heat in 4
spurs in 5
Miami will throw double team at Parker to get rid of the ball. Based on this, the spurs role players on the 3 pt line will determine tha outcome of the finals series against the heat.
I am predicting the spurs in 6! I don't believe they can win a game 7 in Miami. They will need to steal one of the first two, which is doable, and maintain at home.
Manu will play well 'cause he always plays well when the team absolutely needs it and we will need it but it won't be enough. I think Lebron will slow Parker a bit and the Heat will just outmonkeyball us out of the gym, tbh.
Also, I hope the Heat put Lebron on Parker. I'd love to see him chasing Parker through screens all day long.
I don't fear the Heat. I worry about the refs.
No way of knowing anything at this point. The Spurs are in the NBA's version of the Twilight Zone right now. My brain says it goes 6 or 7 no matter what... my currently elated and always homerish gut feeling is a Spurs win in 5.
Exactly why I believe a 7 game series will go to the Heat!
Rebounding will be key as well!
Pretty much this. IF Tony, Tim, and Manu all play big and our role players step up and hit shots, we have a chance. Otherwise, Miami's taking this thing.. most likely in 5 or 6 tbh.
