It's easy to have smothering defense when the refs let you foul
Plethora of no calls = great defense by the heat
Spurs don't want this. Duncan and Manu are trying their best to suck as much as possible. Only person truly hungry is Parker.
That timeout Pop called killed out momentum. Why the did he need a timeout there?
Parker and Duncan are trying to draw contact instead of just playing, tbh..
parker dribbles with the ball way too much....
Terrible close out of the half
Bad end to the half. Going to have to match their physical play in the 2nd half and take them down in the 4th.
hear aren't used to playing so well and not having a big lead. Against everyone else and Indiana they play like that and lead by 15 at the half. If Spurs keep grinding into them and stay with them heat will wilt in the 4th
Miami doing a great job at trapping. Spurs need to pass with efficiency and move without the ball better.
Neal could go inside but hesitated again. Any hesitation is a killer
Should be down 10 or more. Horrible finish the last 2 minutes, out of control offense leading to transition opportunities. Sad state of affairs when Chalmers leads them in scoring, James has 4 pts and were behind.
Pop will give this team an earful. They got lost on defense a lot, and too much 1 on 1 play. Miami is already really tired, so Miami will play sloppy in the 4th quarter. We need more play inside.
Neal with ball at end of clock again. Bad offense.
Parker is tonight
Within 5 points, with Gino playing crappy and Wade playing well. I'll take it.
Calm down, down 5 on the road at the half when the home team must win is a good situation.
Heat get away with a lot of contact....
Spurs better play much better than this in the second half. This kind of play and coaching is NOT ACCEPTABLE.
Sigh. At least we know they can play better. But they have GOT to be focused, Heat are getting lots and lots of help. They are being lazy and sloppy instead of playing with focus. At least they can't go into the next half up and complacent. Still. Frustrating.
This is how Miami plays when they're desperate? Honestly, the Spurs can still win this. The threes have saved them, but I think Pop's going to get them to clean up their turnovers. We'll see what happens.
Decent 1st half by the Spurs. Didn't get destroyed and just hung in there through the Heat's various runs and adjustments. Now Pop's coaching and 2nd half usage/rotations will decide the game. Limit turnovers, stay on the shooters, get rebounds.
