simple really, in game 2 belinelli played meaningful minutes.
Well I give you credit because they didn't look like a one man team this entire offseason until the finals.
Wade just isn't a good match against the Spurs.. doesn't mean he's old or fatigued... he had a great playoffs IMO... he's just ineffective against San Antonio D.

I don't think he's talking about that kind of rape.
Miami never looked like the better team. LeBron going HAM for most of game 1 and in game 2 is what gave them hope but dude just couldn't do it on his own for 3 more games. Even in game 2 Miami would've lost had the Spurs not randomly choked from the free throw line all game (4th best team in the league % wise).
tbh Spurs could've easily swept them. Cramps or not Heat lose game 1 imho
Once Pop went away from the twin towers and started Diaw (Game 3, no coincidence), everything else fell into place. Boris roaming around the perimeter opened up the lane for Kawhi, and whenever Boris took it inside, he could finish himself, pass to TD for the easy putback or pass it to the open shooter. This is compounded by Miami just not being the defensive team it was a year ago, due to a mul ude of reasons.
I think blaming Lebron is misguided, he was clearly the best Heat player. It was weird, though, to actually see him tired for stretches. I don't recall seeing him as spent as I've seen him in these Finals.
Lebron was anal ed by Leonard and Boris and basically anybody he guarded. Couple all that with the most empty stats. The Heat were ed without having players bail Lebron out.
What happened is that the Spurs path to the Finals was much more difficult. San Antonio was just the more hardened team by the time they reached the Finals. Their resolve, focus, and desire was at a crazy level. The Heat came in thinking this was going to be like last year but they discovered quickly that the Spurs were in LeBrons own words "a well-oiled machine" that executed their offense with precision and played superior team defense canceling out everybody besides LeBron.
Perhaps, but, you still bent James over.
One can even go further back than that, way back...to when Pop conspired with Diaw to commit Mutiny & Pop gleaned the Bounty.
Well, you could even go further back, when Pop fired Bob Hill, etc... But I'm pretty sure the OP is wondering about the Finals that just ended.
This is what I was referring to. Link or it didn't happen.
There's plenty of links, just search Dale's posts the past year, he's continuously repeated it so it must be true.
I'm just wanting to read that someone else said it besides Dale. There might be truth to it, who knows? I'd have to see the takes on it.
Use your head, man, teams have been doing this since time immemorial. You just caught a hanger and garnered an NBA le thru the cheat. Don't fret, everybody cheats. Your le is still valid.
I'll refrain from passing judgement until I see some evidence.
Right. Just like a Granger, Karen, and Bynum this year.
Cully is looking for any way to invalidate 5 in his eyes.![]()
Bynum, yes.
Untrue. I've already cited your 5th repeatedly & at length in the most glowing terms and salutations. You are wrong.
I'll believe it when I see it.![]()
And if I produce them you'll lodge a thread apologizing to me?
Miami went up against a historically bad Eastern Conference, this season, and Wade got to rest for the majority of the season..
Wade was mediocre in the playoffs last year, too, against a tougher East and was a no-show against Indiana when they were a real threat..he was a non-factor for most of the Spurs series last year, as well..he's on the decline, he can't play as a star in a deep playoff run anymore..
