I'm just not worried like I was against OKC, tbh..

[Spurs 4 The Win]

The only thing we can get our hat on is the Spurs have yet to play close to what they are capable of outside of about 8 mins in the 4th. Then again, they're playing the 2 time champs with the best player in the world. I'm still waiting for Leonard to show, and game 3 would be a good time for him

Leonard isnt no showing, he is being taken out of the game by the refs, big difference

[Mikeanaro]

Im not worried if Spurs lose its just another fake championship for Miami what these refs are doing is so ing dirty that beats the whole ¨champion¨ meaning and purpose.
If playing cheap getting away with flops like Wade or putting Kawhi in a jar to let Ledonna play is the way to win well I don´t give 2 s they will be fake as trannies not champs by any chance, last year it was the same but tonight they had easily 10 refs points and no calls on our side.

Leonard has to be smarter and start defending with his feet instead of showing his hands. Sure they are calling some BS fouls on him, but he's not helping himself either. And he's really being passive on the offensive side of the ball

When the Spurs need to win, they win.

[james evans]

yeah, i'm not worried at all. i feared OKC more than these guys. we have nothing to worry about. lebron is not gonna continue to kills us from downtown. i'm not concerned with it

[DieHardSpursFan1537]

Three point shooting was spot-on. Hopefully Bosh will cool down the next game (he's been more spot on with his shots than I've seen in a while) and the Spurs can sink more free-throws. Oh, and Spurs will have to find a new way to guard Wade because we all know if you try to contest Wade's shot, he will try to bump into you.

As for LeBron, there's really no way to stop him. Kawhi's the best fit

I agree on the offensive side, but come on defending with his feet? I guess he could use his too...
You cant play with balls and hears if those heads called ¨refs¨ dont let you even breath.

Heat = OKC with proper coaching.

Just incredibly nasty opponent.

[gilmor]

Miami is so much better than OKC it's not even funny. It should be a very hard series .. what do you expect from the reigning NBA Champions?

Okay, lets review:

Foul 1: 2 minutes into the game, barely touches LeBron, no replay shown (lets chalk that one up as fishy)

Foul 2: Touch foul on LeBron, mustve breathed on him wrong (Bad call)

Foul 3: GETS BLOWN UP BY LEWIS and loses the ball and falls into James as a result, offensive foul (5 point swing, they hit a 3 on the other end, shouldve been a shooting foul, BAD CALL)

Foul 4: Weak call for running through a birdman screen, lets also call this legit but it probably wasnt

Foul 5: Foul on Lebron, barely touches him (Lets call this legit)

Foul 6: LeBron runs out of control into the lane, bricks a layup, no contact, foul called, BAD CALL (So that is now 3 BS foul calls, a fishy one, and 2 possible legit fouls)

That is a game changing sequence

Exactly. Like Pop said, they're the champs, we need to go get what they have. Biggest difference with OKC is that they're extremely well coached.

[hommeaetage]

Then Pop needs to do his job and start coaching. and btw, how the are we being outrebounded by the worst rebounding team in the league

[timtonymanu]

I'm not worried about the series yet, but I'm more terrified of LeBron James than I am of the entire OKC team. This is going to be a hard series, tbh.

[baseline bum]

Spurs played very mediocre ball and lost by 2.

We are missing something very essential to Spurs BB, but I don't want to call him out.

Spurs lost the game by 5. The Manu three at the buzzer was completely meaningless. Like Game 4 of the 07 Finals when the scoreboard had a 1 point win because Cleveland hit a meaningless three down 4.

[Malik Hairston]

Miami doesn't have as much talent as OKC(since Wade is no longer a star and Bosh is used as a super-role player, like Ibaka), but Lebron affects the game far more than Durant, and Spoelstra has improved a lot as a coach(top 5 IMO), while Scott Brooks is a bottom-3 coach..

Make four freebies though and we win with that three...

[gilmor]

I doubt so. On hindsight, everything is 50-50. Parker prob won't make that 3 and all things considered. I think down the stretch, Spurs just need to play that much better to win..

Fouls 1 and 2, he showed his hands when he didn't have to

Foul 4 was just dumb, he ran through the screener

[daslicer]

They got away with a lot of over the back no calls in this game that is a big reason to them getting more rebounds.

What do you mean on Fouls 1 and 2, so he did extra by showing his hands and got called anyways?
