I can't see Spurs winning this series

[Sean Cagney]

Yeah, logically, there's no way the Heat win this series. Last year's events has conditioned us to expect the worst.

Not just last year, the 012 WCF and then last year! Add on to that .4 and the Dirk Foul! They will condition you at times for the worst and you become immune to it.

So what you are saying is that James and the Heat planned to be down 3 to 1 so that they can lull the Spurs into feeling over confident and that way come back and win 3 straight games in order to make history?
Are you serious?
Or are you just a manic depressive crazy idiot?
I say the latter.

That dude has problems! He is the one all summer is till hurts like he lost his first born or some .

Being down 1-3, Now Miami will feel they have nothing to lose, they will feel no pressure, now Lebron, Wade, Bosh and everybody else on them will play better... Also now when it's time to close it out, the trauma of last year might come into Spurs head...

It's possibility that Lebron and the Heat gave us the 3-1 lead to make a crazy comeback and mess with our hearts...

Many things are possible.

This is not one of them.

This is why I dont come up here as often.

Pessimist idiots. Some of you could never see the good in this team. Up 3 games to 1 and you still dont believe.

Heat might make a game of it with 3 days rest. But then they play again in two days, and then again in two days if they won game 6 and eventually they just get run out of the gym again. Spurs lose game 5 they just lose game 5. But they aren't losing game 5. I don't think the Heat want to show their face in Miami for a while, TBH. Spurs are going to go at 'em hard in the first quarter and crack that nut open, break their will, and that will be that. It becomes a question of how is it going to be ref'd. That is the question. We'll know within 6 minutes how this thing is going to turn out, IMHO.

I'll say this as well. IF the Heat were to make a historic comeback, the refing better be perfect along the way or all would break lose and the NBA brand would be damaged. It would have to be 'perfect'.

Expect foul trouble early for Leonard and Green again.

NBA can't have its golden manchild humiliated.

^ this, tbh

The refs will deliver the threepeat for LeBron and the Heatles. Spurs just playing the part of the Generals again. It is what it is.

I think Pop got in Danny's and Kawhi's ear the last couple of games. Now they know to play close (but not too close), move your feet, and not bail them out with the hands in foul.

We need those two on the floor a lot tonight in order to finish this. I think they understand how this needs to go.

Lebron and Wade (and probably Bosh) will go 38-40 unless it goes blowout city. If the ball moves on the offensive end as it should, those three will be dying out there in the 4th quarter.

Our guys just have to watch out for cheap shots from Chalmers, Allen, Wade, and Birdman. Ray Allen has been trying to injure Manu all series.

The Spurs also got the rest and they're pretty good when they get rest. I think the Heat blew their chances.

I said this in the NBA forum:



I just think after the 1995 WCF, .4, the Manu foul, 8, the 2012 WCF, and especially 6, we expect some voodoo, Universe-hates-us, to go down.

And if those Spurs fans in question happen to be Cowboys and Rangers fans, they're definitely living with constant indigestion right now.

Not everyone, Mid. Some see through the noise:
