Me neither. Theres a HUGE difference between Parker and George Hill when it comes to ball handling and smarts.
Don't see why they couldn't.

Most of those teams were ... and the Spurs won 20 in a row. Doesn't mean much now tbh. They could barely put away the Pacers who weren't that good.
so the 2010 Celtics or the 2012 Thunde were teamsr? The same 2012 Thunder team that beat the 24 win Spurs last year?
I'm gonna have to disagree there.
No I was saying the teams that the Heat beat on the streak were . And I said that the Spurs streak last year didn't prevent them from losing. The streak means nothing now that the Finals are starting.
Some intangible keys for the Spurs are:
The Maturity of Splitter. Tiago has been quietly learning and growing throughout the playoffs. If he can "Emerge" then its gonna be very difficult for the Heat.
The Versatility of Diaw. Diaw is a very intelligent player, versatile, with a high bb iq. He is an intangible who could help us win with. Lets see how he does this series.
The Intuitive Play of Manu. Enough said.

So well see, let the games begin. Go Spurssssssssssssssssssssss go!!!
Sorry, typo error.
"He is an intangible who could help us win."
I agree with this one. The regular season is different from the playoffs.
In the same way, that round-robin chess tournaments are different from the classical format of the old style Candidates Matches in Classical Chess.
The San Antonio Spurs are like World Chess Champion Vishy Anand.
He does not win a load of chess tournaments. (Like the NBA regular season
But try to arrange a chess match with him, and it is very difficult to beat him.
I feel like the Spurs are like the seasoned Anand this way........
But we shall see, hmmmm.............................................
Missing Key - We play in the Western Conf. Eastern Conf always has 2-3 teams with losing records or sub .500 making playoffs.
Please enlighten me on these looted goods you speak of, that can be found after a hurricane/flood?
Is it possible for a player to take it up another level in the finals? If yes thats encourarging but that would mean Lebron can take it up a notch
so the same teams the Heat beat 27 straight beat the Spurs a lot more? I am saying that a team that wins 27 straight in regular season or not is a cohesive team. There is just no evidence that the Spurs are more cohesive than the Heat. None at all.
btw, this has nothing to do with the 7 keys. They have been tested with 15 past Finals and work out. There is 1 series which incidentally is sometimes called the biggest Finals upset in history which might not work out perfectly. (Which makes me and the communist party think "experience" is not really a necessary key in the Finals, but that is another story) But the rest do.
Lakers Pistons?
good analysis. I'm sticking with Spurs in 6
Andersen is shooting 75% this series
thanks comrade
The Communist Party is happy to announce they have joined forces with the Chinese Counterparts the CPC to prepare a 2014 version of the keys to the Finals. Stay tuned. this might come out in a few minutes
If you do the same for 2014,Another El Che original. Piracy is illegal.
The 7 Keys to the NBA Finals.
This methodology has predicted the correct outcome in every NBA Finals since El Che bothered to look back on.
Key #1: Which team's best player is better. This also might be the tie breaking key.
This Key goes to the Miami Heat easily.
Key #2: Which team has the better 2-4 players.
This Key goes to the Spurs although its close. Duncan + Kawhi + Manu > Wade + Bosh + Allen/Chalmers
Key #3: Home Court Advantage.
Miami Heat holds this key.
Key #4: Coaching Advantage.
Spurs hold this key.
Key #5: Experience Advantage.
This is a toss up. Although Spurs big 3 might have more experience, all the rest are young players and their first finals. Heat big 3 also plenty finals experience. Nobody gets this key.
Key #6: Defensive Advantage. Defense wins championships.
This Key goes to the San Antonio Spurs.
Key #7: Best 5-8 Players.
This is also very close and could be up for discussion. But in the end the deciding factor is an ugly white boy called birdman. This mofo is shooting 84% from the field while getting almost 2 blocks in limited minutes. That is historical right there. Him + Allen/Chalmers is probably better than any 5-8 Spurs could muster. It's fair to say if Andersen keeps shooting 80% or better this series it's over. This Key goes to the Miami Heat.
There you have it. It is all tied up 3-3.
As I said the tiebreaker is probably who holds the best player and MVP so the Heat unfortunately will most likely win the 2013 Championship.
But it's very close and if you compare with other series this series has the potential to resemble the Pistons-Lakers of 04 or Mavs-Heat of 11 where both road teams ultimately prevailed.
Finally I would also be very shocked if this series goes less than 6 games. This could be one for the ages.
#1 is still miami's but which Spurs player to use here? I guess since Parker was injured last year also, we can leave it the same
#2 Spurs by a little bit still
#3 home court is spurs this time.
#4 coaching still Spurs
#5 experience still a push.
#6 Spurs still better defense
#7 Green/Diaw/Splitter (or mills if splitter doesn't play much) are much better than heat's 5-8.
Spurs lead 5-1/
