2014 NBA Finals, Game 3 - San Antonio Spurs @ Miami Heat

[therealtruth]

Parker, Ginobili and Duncan hardly did tonight. They better be on their game in Game 4. Kawhi and Green can't carry this team like that again. And I notice the announcers sound a bit disappointed in this win by the Spurs. They're being very courteous but aren't very amped about it like they were with the Heat in Game 2.

It's obvious why. They wanted a close game like game 2.

[TheGoldStandard]

Spurs need to game plan for playing the passing lanes and focusing on bosh cause they will give him the ball a lot in game 4

Kawhi: "Quit it...I said quit it"

[therealtruth]

That moron strikes again! Lebron and Dwade clowned him even worse than Spoelstra.

His second question was actually a half way decent question.

Mugen....start the next game thread

I like to pick my spots now tbh, it's a product of not learning to walk away from Vegas tables many a time...

I've already nominated Brazil to start Game 4 and he said he will but I support any reputable poster to do so....

[therealtruth]

We need to break the Heat streak of not losing 2 in a row in the playoffs since idk how long.

You would think that streak is due to be broken soon.

[spursparker9]

Pop with the best defensive play on Kawhi today !!

I'd like to throw my name in the hat. Let's put it to a vote best of 7 style.

Its going to be games 5 and 6

I suggest to take it up w/ the French delegation tbh.

[slayermin]

Hate to say, this is still probably going 7.

[Prime Time]

I know everyone is screaming for 3-1 (which would absolutely amazing headed back to SA) but I'd be quite satisfied with 2-2 given the Spurs' position coming into South Beach. But it, the pressure is on Miami now. GSG

[myhc]

Yea, think again if you're expecting a win on Thursday. Just don't see Miami losing with the championship likely on the line if they go back 3-1. This will go back 2-2 but we accomplished our goal and have homecourt back

[Prime Time]

Also, a huge to anyone who thought the Spurs were going to just roll over and die after how long it took to get back here. I was afraid of Dallas/Portland/OKC, sure, but that was because of match-up issues. The Heat have nothing to throw against the Spurs that isn't named LeBron James. If Leonard can tire him out by attacking on both ends, there's no way Miami could last 48 minutes.

You're in an HEB commercial, mofo

I don't think so

[slayermin]

Hope you're right. I want to be wrong so bad.

[myhc]

His second question was actually a half way decent question.

He asked them how they were so underwhelming on defense and offense, which is insinuating the Heat were all at fault for losing the game. Jordans' Bulls, Magic's Lakers and Birds' Celtic teams would've had a tough time coming back from that onslaught. Wade and Lebron did the right thing and clowned him. But Wade actually addresses the stupidity of the question later, saying when the Spurs hit shots, it's because of Miami's poor defense. But when they miss shots, it's because of Miami's great defense. It's always a combination of both. That's why that guy is an idiot and he got treated like one.

I want this Kawhi 98+ games per year!

I too want the best player in the league on the Spurs. Acquired via a George Hill trade.

[mVp]

That should've been a flagrant on Pop tbh, not a good job selling it by Kawhi, he needs to flop next time...

[The Whopper]

Should be 3-0 if not for creative officiating to keep eyeballs on this ESPN product.

Texecution coming.

I had no idea until watching the NBATV coverage just now that Barkley thought the Heat were going to win 4-1. I dunno if I've ever seen a more butthurt analyst.
