Heat: From a technical standpoint...what the exactly happened during the finals?

[Thread]

The difference being that James was the only one who showed up in 2014 and Duncan was the only one who didn't show up in 6 because Pop had nailed him to the bench at the end.

James wandered around for 5 games as if in a daze.

And Duncan wasn't nailed to the bench when Battier took his cookie on those layups.

Let these two humps take it. They dish it. Ain't gonna kill 'em.

Dale just like to count rings. He's not interested in the whys.

Watch:::

Kobe: 5

the tired old bag Duncan: 5

That must really stick in your craw. How long did you practice typing that without deleting it afterward?

Never. Over the past 12 months my mind soaked it in so I've never had to go back and change a 4 to a 5. I knew. I told you guys, but, you were too busy scraping rocks into your scalp to pay attention.

Nothing I can do, but, take it. I'm just fortunate that there is a stance to it that makes it likeable (like it). Sure, I'd rather it still be the old way, but, the truth has a beauty to it all it's own.

Duncan saves Kobe from Lebron. That's the angle, yet Kobe es about Tim getting his 5th, that's the rub.

Damned if ya do, damned if ya don't.

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.

Exactly. He was playing really well up until the series against SA. He crapped all over Indiana to which it had Miami fans thinking that the old Wade was going to make a difference in the Finals.

IMO, not playing Duncan and Splitter together (use of the stretch 4 - either Diaw/Bonner) stretched MIA's swarming defense and tired them out. Diaw played > 35 minutes after game 2 and provided the outlet (release) from the doubling of the ball handler (TP/Manu). Once Diaw got the ball, it was 4 on 3 with Diaw either passing to the open man or driving to the basket. Also, both - Leonard played great and Belli was nailed to the bench after game 2.

Wade needs to re-invent his game - add a 3pt shot and improve his jump shooting as he ages.

Game 2 Spurs miss 4 FT down stretch. Should have been 4-0
