what were Tim's comments?
what were Tim's comments?
He said they were happy they got the Heat and that this time they would win. Wow, is that suddenly bulletin board material for the Heat?
Tim Duncan: "We're happy that it's the Heat again. ... We've got that bad taste in our mouth still."
Tim Duncan: "We got 4 more to win. We'll do it this time."
Something along the lines of we'll get it this time. Been hearing/reading he lines and oddly I can't recall what they were exactly, but Tim said it post game.
Any little bit of extra motivation helps, even if it's drummed up. Lebron is one of the most sensitive athletes in the game so his comments are no surprise tbh.
I had a feeling that comment was going to go directly on the bulletin board in the Heat's locker room..He said they were happy they got the Heat and that this time they would win. Wow, is that suddenly bulletin board material for the Heat?
Good, I like the confidence from our leader.
I just can't see LeBron shooting as poorly from midrange as he did last year or Green being on fire like he was.
Still, no Mike Miller will help, and I think the Spurs are better this year than last.
What does a training camp like practice mean? That they went hard, or not hard at all? Sounds like the former but I'm not sure.
This series is going to be very interesting in regards to what happens matchup wise. Bosh is pretty much a SF at this point.
Heat are scared of the Spurs. Seriously, they know they lucked out last year. And this Spurs team is going to play with a Vengeance. That is the worst opponent to go against. I still remember that game in March when most here said the streak would end and the Spurs annihilated the Heat. I expect to see that same Spurs team to show up in this series.
As the last game showed, no more playing Chamlers or Cole on Diaw.
It's when you hold your two year olds on the crapper til they explode.
Exactly. If they have no 100% Birdman, then we will dominate them in the post. More Diaw, more Manu-Splitter PnR, more 4down in critical situations. We'll do what the Pacers stumbled upon last year but didn't have the discipline to continue. The Heat get bullied to death against talented bigs.
Well see what kind of job Battier can do guarding Boris. If they go with Shane at the 4 and go small that will be an interesting matchup. Lebron could even be forced to guard Boris if Boris keeps exploiting the mismatch.
You got it there bro.. Diaw will be one of the X factor in this series again.
I predict LeBron will have a solemn look on his face with his lips clenched together tightly to hide his frown at the end of this series. Maybe even from the bench.
The Heat may not like Tim's confidence or comments but they can't do anything about it. We are better than they are and if we are healthy, we'll win in 5 or 6. They are better than the Thunder defensively but they are weaker on offense. I'm looking forward to seeing the Spurs win it all.
Heat making public comments about it giving them motivation will get back to the spurs. It's actually a good thing because it means they know the heat will be ready.
But if either team isn't motivated anyway then shame on both of them
Maybe it changes this year but Lebron's jumper has abandoned him for long stretches in every single Finals series he's been in. I don't think he's shot over 30% from the perimeter in any Finals series and has lived on paint points for the most part.
this is stupid. using tim's quotes as if he joe namath'd the damn series or something. it was right after the game. he was excited to get to the finals and doesnt want to in lose again and is ready to go. that's all. it doesnt matter though i'm more confident than ever we're gonna crush these ho's
Why is Lebron so salty? Tim is a compe or. Who wouldn't want to play a team that beat them in the finals? Has nothing to do with "not liking" them. Dude really needs to grow up. I guess he does whatever he needs to to self-motivate.
If they have to take Duncan's confident statement to get them going then they really the hungry and motivated team they used to be. They'd better watch out.
I'm a LeBron fan but like Mugen said, LeBron is a sensitive person. Our guys will still be ready.
Heat haven't even played against a good team so far in the playoffs. They can have any kind of motivation, but once they play the Spurs, they will see the west is no east. I just wanna see Spurs take them down, 5, 6, 7 games, no matter how many games it takes. Just get that ring!
You can always count on the worst happening. I really, really wanted the Grizzlies to win so we wouldn't have to face OKC, and what happened? Well, of course we got to face OKC.
Now, who do you think the Heat wanted to face in the Finals, us or OKC? Well, what do you know? The worst (for them) happened.
They do know we're the only team who has a real shot against them, preventing them to get their so coveted threepeat. So yeah, let them get all the motivation they can gather. They'll need it.
