Let's be optimistic here and discuss why the Spurs have a big chance in game 2

[Kidd K]

The 18% was the winning percentage in game 2 road teams have in the finals after winning game 1.

I know.

Spurs need to go for a 2-0 lead at all costs. They won Game 1, why not try winning Game 2 too, right? To put things in perspective, only three home teams have swept the middle three games since the Finals switched to a 2-3-2 format in 1985.

2004 Pistons
2006 Heat
2012 Heat

Agreed. Spurs really should go all out this game cause they're not winning 3 straight against Miami.. and if they won 2 in SA, that would essentially set up a must win Game 6 for us cause we're not winning a Game 7 in Miami.

The Spurs are going to have to win two games in Miami to win the le. I see no reason why they don't come out with the same sense of urgency as the Heat tomorrow night.

interesting stat. i just said on another thread that we have a 10% chance of winning game 2, a number I pulled out of my ass but based on gut feelings. Looks like I wasn't too far off. I imagine the heat will not only make adjustments but they'll call things a bit tighter on us, it will be interesting to see how we respond, I'm sure Pop knows it's coming.

Everyone knows it's coming. It's up to them if they'll weather the storm and bring on their own sense of urgency.

Exactly. Spurs want to stay in San Antonio, they probably need to win game 2.

Obviously in a finals a team should go out to win every game.I do not doubt the spurs are going to come out tomorrow for another win.

6.) The Spurs' game 1 performance was "subpar" but still were able to get the win. Now that the rust is off, expect the Spurs to be firing on all cylinders for game 2 -- better ball movement,better spacing and more importantly, better shooting percentages particularly from beyond the arc. The Spurs were "rusty" defensively in the first half of game 1. But the second half was a different story. Expect the Spurs to continue to play excellent D from hereon out.

Here in L.A., rooting for the Spurs is easy. Coz we'd rather see Duncan win his fifth than Lebron wearing his second!

We didn´t play great at all but we did great things.

We didn´t turn the ball over.

We defended exceptionally well.
