mind = blown, that's pretty crazy, right?
whoa.....

Let's do this!!
Diaw against Lewis/Battier is the mismatch we should exploit. He could score on those 2 whenever he wanted
I expect Diaw to go in nuts in this series.
Didn't the Heat switch to LeBron on Manu for game 6?
Did he? I don't remember all too well tbh, I sort of blurred that game from my memory. the only thing I remember from 6 were the final 2 minutes of regulation & how Duncan/Kawhi dominated throughout the game.
Still though, Kawhi's production will be huge as a 2nd/3rd punch on the perimeter. Same goes for Diaw attacking the post, something I don't recall him doing often in the first last year.
Who guards Bosh? If I remember correctly, Duncan took him on last year. But I think Pop should keep Duncan in the paint to contest any inside shots, seeing how it worked well against OKC.
Splitter isn't very good at closing out, he's more of a one-on-one defensive player. Diaw is the more likeable option, but I doubt he's fast enough. Dare I say Bonner?
No, seriously, it's probably going to be Diaw.

On a side note, is anyone else getting really ing nervous the more they think about this series? Bosh, Allen, Battier, Chalmers, Cole.. so many players that can just explode from downtown.
We ready we ready
Keep doing work OP. Lead us to the promised land.
I remember seeing the switch and thinking "ok, Manu goes from playing against the bench to being guarded by LeBron. Not good". I could be wrong, though. I only watched that game once.
Diaw on Lebron stay home on everyone else. Lebron is a slashing PF at this point. He's shooting 37% of his shots from 0-3 feet and converting them at an absurd 81%. I don't have the numbers but I would guess that these aren't post ups but dribble drives. The Heat are basically spacing teams out with 4 shooters and either forcing teams to collapse the paint or letting Lebron drive 1on1 against Paul George, Paul Pierce, etc. Kawhi and Danny are excellent perimeter defenders but Lebron doesn't hurt you from the perimeter. Boris Diaw is perhaps the only true PF in the league capable of staying in front of Lebron on the perimeter. You can give him relatively open midrange jumpers but cut off his drives and make them go to their other options. I think this could really throw a wrench in Miami's absurdly efficient offense.
It's weird to say but IMO Boris will once again be the key to this series.
5 days off will do wonders.
Can Tiago be a factor in this series?
Treat Bosh like a Dirk/Aldridge and let Tiago guard him. Kawhi on Lebron and mix it up with Diaw.
Green on Wade. I hope that Green won't fall for Wade's pump fakes
Tiago ability to play defense isn't the problem. The problem is he'll hurt the spacing on offense. Making it significantly more difficult to score in the paint.
Pop better show Tiago that EPIC Block that Lebron had on him.
Melissa, tbh.
bizarre
Can Daye guard Lebron?
Just a thought after seeing Pop put Marco on KD.
You mean that block when we were already down by 19? Yeah, that was a real game-changer.
Lol now that I think of it. There should be enough video material to do a mixtape of Tiago getting rejected.You mean that block when we were already down by 19? Yeah, that was a real game-changer.
From Centers to Point Guards
Paul Garcia PS @PaulGarciaPS
Pretty cool opening career for Kawhi Leonard in first 3 years. 3 straight Conference Finals & 2 NBA Finals. #Spurs
Could have gone to the Finals in 2012 too if not for ing Thunderefs in game 6.
And he was right!!!
Finally getting your due, man!But that was for WCF - deliver us from the evil heat, now, Saviour!!
