Though Kirby was shinin' shoes 'twixt Daddy & MVPau.
...Yes.these 2014 Spurs better than the 04 Pistons??
no way in . I am not sure this team is even capable of beating the Shaq/Kobe Lakers. no proof whatsoever that this is the caseYou said yourself, they both have no superstars. But the Spurs are deeper and much better offensively.
Lakers to busy being horse .
Kobe: 2
Daddy: 1
This Spurs team is a notch above the 2012 version. In 2012 the Spurs had the #1 offense and the #11 defense. Now it's #6 offense (as close to #1 as to #8) and #3 defense.
The Thunder are still a very good team, but without Harden their ceiling is lower than in 2012. Ibaka and Durant are better now though.
It's funny that the 2012 Spurs and 2013 Heat had very similar statistical profiles.
No. I'm better than that. A damn sight better.
Hey, you beat the Suns last night! Congrats.
Will you ever stop being purposely obtuse? Those are MVPau's rings.... Christ!
It's without merit.
No you won't.
At this point it has become painfully obvious that this is a team on a mission. A mission to right a wrong. A mission to take back what should have been theirs. A mission for redemption goddamn it.
If there was ever a creature or en y that would be the embodiment of the Spurs and their plan of action, it would be this:
HUNGRY FOR HEAT!
You did it to yourself. The Heat lost to you, but, you insisted that they win. And you, nor Media have the decency to cite your denial and perceived victimization as wrong headed as it is. You'll both do it though should it work out. If it don't:::it'll be like it never happened AGAIN.At this point it has become painfully obvious that this is a team on a mission.

Ya s.
Cause you know it's the truth. Poor thing. I outta hug you.
Or, this . No.
This years Heat is nothing to fear. Only their reputation in the past. The Heat within their rotting souls know they chanced out on plays that were decided by the unpredictable direction the ball would bounce. Who knows what difference Manu would make if he wasn't on the floor unable to recover to Ray Allen. Who knows what Tim Duncan being on the floor during the Allen possession would make.
The Spurs are a team that is on the course of redemption. From one game on two plays. This team, by their character handles business by their actions. The motivation being this one...single...game. I'm sure all the other players empathize with the Spurs situation knowing that most of the league doesn't at all take kindly to the Miami Heat.
The Miami Heat's weaknesses are Tall teams at the point (Nets), Dwight Howard around talented young team, teams with backbone, and teams with execution and teams that don't turnover the ball in their trapping defense. The weaknesses of them doubling at the Key have been exposed with the short roll leaving the middle and the corner open. They also have to fight harder for rebounds since they aren't in particular a great rebounding team. Thus, this causes them to have to work harder. Teams without backbone such as the Pacers and Thunder are teams that should beating the daylights out of them. The Pacers and Thunder aren't efficient enough or confident enough to drill an opponent down to the ground. They have more than enough talent to do so. The Spurs should have been in the finals twice in a row and the Thunder had no business being there.
The Brooklyn Nets who the Miami Heat have taken seriously in all cases, have dominated the Heat this year..........while unhealthy. This team with size, length, off the dribble scorers, slow and controlled pace, and etc is a nightmare match up for the Heat. Since preseason, I could tell the Heat would have an issue with gritty defenders and unorthodox scorers the Nets acquired.
One other reason is that I've noticed LeBron's blocks are down however his field goal percentage is off the wall as well as the rest of the other two. However, Wade is the one I'm most worried about. Without Wade is the one I factor in the most in the finals due to his acrobatics on making unbelievable shots. and irksome floaters Without Wade, LeBron James would not have these rings. Wade adds more to Miami Heat's swagger than LeBron James does. Its very elusive and difficult for anyone the common fan to see. Bosh? Eh.
Most of all, I've noticed that the Heat haven't been having those quarters where they can come back on a team in the third quarters. Shane Battier isn't having that season where he can put up record breaking threes and piss the opponent off. Their also missing Mike Miller, their three point juggernaut. Mike Miller shooting and making threes is deadly for a teams morale.
Right now, these are the brackets. If New York somehow sneaks into the playoffs, the Heat will finally have a challenge in the worst of ways. New York is unpredictable now in terms of capabilities. They shouldn't have been this bad to being with. Their just lazy, rich(which can make you settle), and underachievers who didn't work hard enough during the off season. Talent gone to waste due to ignorance.
If the Heat would have continued to lose as it appeared it was their strategy to have taken the easy route, they would have easily ended up in the finals. The Bobcats, Raptors and Wizards are teams I am not confident at all in. If they prove me wrong, it would have to be then end of the world.
What the SPurs have done this year is made up for Ginobili's lack of scoring by signing a near duplicate, Marco Bellinelli. Knowing that Pop implementation is A grade, efficiency is up and he's become a complete asset to this team. Not to mention that Emanuel is playing far better this year. I watch the Spurs play the Heat with their full roster out there. The Spurs did not allow the Heat to have any type of lead whatsoever and crushed any momentum they could build. The turnover's were low, the off ball activity was high, and the Heat simply couldn't catch up to the ball movement the Spurs implemented. Every player was a factor that game including Tiago and Diaw. The bench was outstanding. The thing about that game was the Heat set the same plays they did for the past season. Greg Popovich has them figured out.
u know u aint winning with enrique if he continues WIN with me, myself and i at ude or nothing at all
we all learnt how that went during the last 3 seasons against the
grizzlies = gettin on by conley
thunder = awakening the frog prince after being 2up for the backdoor sweep by getting into his head
heat = chalmers making him his for no apparent reason after gettin chewed out by lebron
everyone said this 2 years ago and they got raped by OKC, which will probably happen again this year.

different teams... more worried about the Rockets matchups personally, tbh... that fluky 3 point shooting can kill you, and they have the shooters.
Pop tanks the ok game, okc celebrates like they won the ing le

I think if we beat GSW on Wednesday, we lock the #1 seed? Wouldn't surprise me Pop giving them a week in the Bahamas before the playoffs...
swap mavs for Suns and the spurs would once again have the easiest path to the finals imho, no tough match expected until the WCF where the well-rested spurs will be in good position to eliminate whichever team that fought their way to the WCF (no matter it is OKC, Clippers or Mavs)
the refs will be waiting in the finals
teh jew will not allow any sweep in t he finals, he has to milk it since the tv rights deal is just around the corner
