Spurs: No need for any meltdowns. Spurs got the split and competed for 2 and 1/2 quarters...

[DeadlyDynasty]

Neal with it.

[LkrFan]

Yeah, you're right. The recipe for beating the defending champions who have the best player in the world twice in a row on their home floor is simply "being greedy" and having "killer instinct."

And repeat smack.

I guess Magic didn't find his "killer instinct" until 1988.

- 9,876 straight 50+ win seasons. Never repeated as champion. Had 4* chances. And at you bringing Magic into the discussion. It was waaaaaaaayy harder to repeat back then. -15 points sn

You're a in' re .

They got their split, yet mid maaaaaaaddd as . Ww

[LkrFan]

it's a win win for you son. Either watch us implode like a rapist's achilles or jump on the LeBeta bandwagon if he wins (cmon, you and CN both love them Heat).

Bolded is crrect. However the last part is false. I've gone on record as saying I'd rather TD get #5 rather than LBJ get #2.

until Greggory went full re with:

4:41 Gary Neal enters the game for Tony Parker 58-59

Miami's season was on the line and the Spurs put up a good fight until the end of the 3rd quarter.

Hopefully Pop realizes the obvious adjustments he needs to make (no more Gary Neal, more Duncan in the post instead of using him like Chris Bosh) and the Spurs will be fine. Not "fine" as in guaranteed to win the series, but fine insofar as putting themselves in a good position to win the upcoming games.

For now, mission accomplished. The Spurs got the split. Obviously you'd like to win two, but that wasn't gonna happen against a championship team with the best player in the world.

Solid analysis Mid

I didn't watch the game (I couldn't care less about this series tbh, either team winning it would be a kick in the balls for a mavs fan) but it sounds like the Heat won the game in a Spurs way. Coaching should've been the biggest advantage the Spurs had over the Heat, and it somehow turned a weaklink tonight. Spurs fans don't need to get mad at the loss because the Heat are the better team after all, but they have every right to be mad at how they managed to lose it tbh.

When you post re ed takes, I'm going to call you re ed. Has nothing to with being "mad."

Tonight's loss has nothing to do with not being "greedy enough" or lacking "killer instinct," and everything to do with the Heat playing great after the 3rd quarter and taking control of the game. They're the defending champions for a reason.

Bull . Your actions speak louder than your words.

You were quiet as a church mouse after game 1 and now you here gloating as if the Lakers just beat the Spurs.

Just come clean, Los Angeles Heat fan.

i remember you saying that but i can never tell with you Lakerfans, you s love bandwagons. check out DeadlyDynasty, he's already pimping the Heat.

least Laker's legacy died with Achilles (peace be upon it btw).

[Clipper Nation]

Any other teams=yes but this are the Spurs.

I said a little bit, not a lot.... by comparison, if this was those weak-minded gots from MethKC getting blown out this badly, the series would be over already and you could just hand Miami the trophy right now....

- there is one thing wrong with your post. I hate the cHeat. However, given the fact that I can't lose this series () - I get to rub it in with many farmers on this site if you get a beat down - like to night. Make no mistake, I would have much rather a Pacers/Memphis Finals. But since that wasn't happening, I'm rolling with them Spurs (although I reserve the right to clown their monkeyasses if they play like they did tnight).

I'll say it again: I'd rather see TD get #5 than LBJ get #2. However, if the Spurs lose, I got jokes.

It's also that I have $500 invested in the Heat this series (not including the Ben I won tonight). Sorry I can't pimp your lovable little scamps, but I gotta follow the green.

it's cool, i don't expect you rooting for Spurs either. you might want to put a little on Spurs just in case of a miracle, underdog story.

[DMC]

This win was so easy to see coming. The blowout was easy to see.

We'll see next game what the series is going to go like.

Like Magic said: "also too, the real key to this series is going to be in the next three games"

You cannot argue with that nugget of wisdom.

Nah son - not me. The cHeat represent everything that's wrong with pro sports. I can legitimately say I hate their franchise. They colluded, got away with it, and I supposed to cheer them on? If Wade's STD flared up I wouldn't spit on him to put it out tbh.

[Arcadian]

[a bunch of gy bull ]

you. Where's your team right now?

The only thing you'll be "repeating" is a first-round playoff exit...if you're lucky enough to get that far next year.

Lakers fans still talking like the gots they are

And like always, I'll deflect by reminding you that the Spurs swept the Lakers, who were the biggest failure in NBA history.

Jesus if you aren't the pot calling the kettle black. You've historically gotten the best players in the league for nothing and now you're calling someone else a cheater? lol.

Is there such as the "old community college try"?

Good question. I'll have to ask jjktkk

Well, the Heat did reach the Finals, so I'm not sure, even with all their hype, that they can be considered the biggest failure in NBA history if they lose to the Spurs, who before tonight's game, were playing some of the best basketball of any team all year.

It'll be a failure for sure, but not a particularly embarrassing one.
