The importance of being 10 deep isn't always about minute restrictions for aging stars. It also helps distribute shot-making responsibilities among everyone. No one role player feels like he has to get a certain stat line for the team to succeed.
The Spurs basically have multiple backup options for role players if any one guy isn't hitting his shots. Green, Mills, Belinelli, Manu, Diaw, Leonard, and Bonner don't all have to hit 3s at a respectable clip. Only like 3 of them do on any given night. Maybe 2 if one if them gets really hot (like 60%+ shooting with a minimum of 7 or 8 attempts).
If Green plays like (i.e. doesn't hit 3s), you can spot Belinelli some minutes and increase Manu's minutes and hopefully one (or both) of them pick up the slack in conjunction with Mills getting more shots (possibly).
If Mario Chalmers plays like , the Heat aren't going to win.

You've ascended at the most advantageous of times. Never has the league been in such a deep depression sans one team:::the Spurs.
Lebronistan was done from the getgo. Starting Rashawn Lewis
they fooled noone tbh![]()
, they weren't just starting Rashard Lewis. They absolutely relied on him scoring like 12-15 PPG on excellent efficiency.
He didn't want it no more. He wanted to get there and find somebody who wouldn't resist. When you resisted he threw the towel.
There is a lesson there, blankethead. We'll see if your Pop & his people learned it.
I don't get how a guy who roots for 0'fers & "patchers" has so many opinions on winning. If that don't beat it all.
Of course you don't. You just hang around waiting to throw my back at me.
Refresh me....were the officials really nice to the Lakers in game 2?
i was laughing at the rashard lewis "hype" before the series started tbh... people on this forum were fearing him
The Heat relied on a proven choker whose only rings attained were bailouts.
Well I looked at game 5 again and yes...Popovich had them figured out all along. It was the matter of if the players were going to perform for them.
In game 5, the Spurs mocked the Heat. Patty Mills imitating their flopping antics and dismantling them with a three point barrage you'd expect from Ray Allen or mike miller. Then you had Kawhi Leonard exposing LeBron's defense, Splitter's block on Wade, and Ginobili's dunk on Bosh.
Boris Diaw ~ the invisible man. Emmanuel Giniobili. The redemption.
Game 2
A cliche victory to say the least. Everyone played decently well with the Spurs but GAME 2...was the LeBron show. LeBron and half the corpse of Rashard Lewis lead that team to victory. Look at the box score.
Game 3
EVERYONE THAT WAS A HEAT FAN WAS GUARANTEEING VICTORY THIS GAME. They were all up their own asses. Then....DJ Khaled. ESPN...especially guaranteeing victory. The Heat had the false confidence of not losing home games all playoffs. They had another false confidence for not losing back to back games in whatever time frame (i don't care to look it up)
and that was for Game 4.
Yet Again....the Heat fan slogan "We got this; Three peat". Getting their asses handed to them in back to back games on their home court. Their fans booing them. Then every commentator believing they could make their cliche comeback with the Seven Nation Army Chant. The got it down to what? 4? I think. Then got blown out some more. Duncan and Kawhi on the offensive boards for both games. Their fans completely giving up on them leaving the game early not considering that this is the last time they see their team in action in the season.
But at least the real Heat fans stayed.
I've watched all series in the past years and in the Heat aren't not that great of a team. If there were statistics about how much times LeBron James is mentioned nationally, you'd realize you've been brainwashed. The Twitter mentions are enough of a stat. What context is he mentioned? What context are the Heat being mentioned.
Principles in Marketing and Psychology 101.
The East is a mental enigma of "don't worry be happy" players who don't want to win. They just want to groupie s with booty shots and lives of unsatisfactory and insecurity of how much material things they own but I don't blame them. lol
There are a few winners there but there all on the wrong teams. When it comes to the opponent, it was all mental. No one was as mentally prepared for the Heat as the Spurs.
The Heat were a decent team full of great players who hit big shots that were most of the time terrible shots to take. They hit those shots though. They had a great amount of will but there's more to be disgusted about with them then to love.
Boiled down: Spurs won but there was no real compe ion. Hollow victory.
Dale again, qualifying rings.
Forgot to add this to the gloating and boosting.
Being a Magic fan, I know damn well that Rashard would choke. That's a guaranteed for me. I liked Rashard but he was not even a robin.....making 118 million. ed with our flexibility to bring in REAL talent. Otis Smith's fault.
Hennigan YES.
You asshole.
Yeah, they did rely on TOSB Wade too much....
tbh it wasn't all Heat's fault. Birdman got injured at the wrong time. Wade and Bosh were looking good but then they encountered the Caliente game 1 and bad timing with Kawhi's left testicle finally dropping in game 3
DMC, cramps don't linger for a whole week. Lebron was fine for games 2,3,4,5.
menstrual cramps do tbh
& wandered around like he lost his best friend. Everything was in ovals, in slow motion, everything delayed (had to take a piss).
Atleast Bron got the Achilles to wander around.
tee hee
"You won Miss America at the most advantageous of times. The field was as weak as I've seen it, no attractive women at all". Lakers fans always call the league weak when they aren't winning. It must be weak if anyone wins besides them, because when they win against juggernauts like Detroit, Sacramento, 76ers and Orlando... those are the years that prove the mettle of a team.
Cramps don't linger, but the results of dehydration and the treatment of it can linger for days. The soreness from severe cramps can linger for days. What caused the cramps can still be a factor days later, HGH or whatever.
He ended up just like Kobe:::shinin' in' shoes in last place.
