    The 1 of 12 to lose has to be the Heat from 2 years ago.

    The ty 1 day of rest between game 2 and 3 kinda doesn't help the Spurs much though. No time to enjoy being home before they have to play. Suck that the Heat got to stay home for a week straight and play just two games while the Spurs have to play the 2nd day they're back home. :\

    Spurs are favored in game 3 by 2 1/2 points.

    I would bet that a lot of those 9 loses were teams that lost game one on road, then won game 2.

    Here is a very cool website for you to do research:

    The Spurs last game at home was on MAY 22nd! Something tells me they'll be ready to give their best effort for the fans.

    Yeah I'm definitely glad for that. Just wish we had the extra rest day since they got 3 days between games 1 and 2. Just seems like such weird scheduling.

    We've been in similar situations before. Remember 2005, against Detroit? HEY! We went THERE and took a game from them.We have 3 home games left. They have 2 left. Why all the pissing moaning?

    Can you imagine if you flew in just to watch the Heat championship ceremony?

    Enjoy the game

    My argument is always "whoever gets to 2 wins first will win a 7 game series." whowins.com shows that is 87% correct overall, and 90% correct when the second win makes the series 2-1.

    It's just too much to ask the loser of game 3 to beat the other team 3 out of 4 times.

    Tomorrow night is the series.

    Jeff McDonald - "In 2-3-2 series tied 1-1, the winner of Game 3 has won 11 of 12 series."

    The Spurs have to win Game 3. Game 3 is the most important game of the seires. If the Spurs lose Game 3, then they lose home court advantage and the series is pretty much over no matter how many games it goes to. So yeah, the Spurs better fight for their lives and play with urgency and a lot of energy on defense, just like the Heat did on Game 2.
