Solid take.
Solid take.
They almost lost to the chokers. It was very close.
I've seen the change in behavior recently thread. I know you are getting nervous. Time is running out.

Just be there waxing shoes come June, Dale.
The Heat are a nonfactor. No one is worried about the Heat.
Sup LJ. Good to see you out and about.
It wasn't even the Heat you had to worry about last June. It was Pop and that sexual Duncan.
Pop and Duncan both were great until a few mistakes. Heat aren't as good this year.
Besides, you've nary room, your Magic and Kobe were butt ed as well.
"a few mistakes." You're much too modest, HI. Only thing worse than what Pop & Duncan did was the fact that Media let 'em get away with it.

Heat are for sure going to beat the rockets now
But, Media also allowed your Kirby to get away with snatching Daddy's trophy and handing it over to the Pistons in '04.
What did Duncan do?
The missed layup? Are you really that myopic to think the game was lost on that possession? Duncan averaged 27 and 14 in the last two games, on the road, in the Finals at age 37.
Tony Parker, the Spurs' "MVP", averaged 14 points on a combined 9-35 shooting in the last two games. And let's not forget about Manu handing the Heat about 20 extra possessions.
I know you want to put the blame on Duncan because you can't stand the fact Duncan is, and will always be, a better basketball player than your beloved Kobe Bryant.
Stern would be stupid not to let a Miami-Spurs rematch to happen for a number of reasons:
1. The revenge narrative will come into play. People love that.
2. The 2013 Finals was one of the best series to happen in a long time.
3. The 2013 Finals was one of the most watched Finals series ever.
4. James is trying to cement his legacy while Duncan is trying to close out this legendary career. Again, people would love that
Overall, there's just too many story lines that could create out of a rematch between the Spurs and Heat; and Stern/Silver would be complete morons not to let it happen.
not to mention mah nig Silver already said that he thought the Spurs should be more appreciated, so he's not the same guy as Stern. plus this is like greenlighting Rocky II, it's a no brainer after the first one.
Durant v LeBron is a much more compelling "storyline" to your average, re ed NBA fan tbh.
Tbh, barring a WWE fixed playoffs, do the Spurs legitimately have to fear anyone? At the risk of premature ejac, I am feeling pretty confident about dem Spurs. Even though the Lakers are the talent equivalent of DLeague/SilverStars, you have to love the Spurs' blowout, balanced scoring and low minutes/expenditure of energy against those guys.
I already hit that, first.
You can be second.
You don't always set trends, but when you do, they are trendy.
1 spurs wont make the finals
2 i worry about heat winning it all
but whatever happens heat will/would the spurs in max 6 games this year
It depends. Last year Spurs probably would've won if they had HCA. 2-3-2 is brutal to the road team. The 3 in the middle is NOT an advantage. . .I seriously cannot recall a single time where the home team won all 3 of those (I'm sure it's happened but it almost never does). Meanwhile in 2-2-1-1-1 you repeatedly see the home team win most of the time in close series.
Not to mention the Spurs should have won anyway. . .the Heat should be fearful. I doubt they will be confident in playing a team who was literally right about to beat them up 6 and up 3-2 in the series with less than a minute left. You can't look forward to playing a team who did that to you a second time, especially if you lose the massive advantage of 2-3-2 HCA, and HCA in general (which may or may not happen).
Plus the Pacers are stacked as this year. The Heat may not even return to the Finals because of them. To be fair, the Spurs' road to the Finals will be harder this year too though. No first round bye again, 2nd round was tough last year but WCF they kinda got an easy pull there with a team they historically dominate.
ask Dwyane Wade he can give you a proper answer about it
The heat should fear a team with a least a few of the following:
1. Dominant inside presence, especially one with enough foots peer and length to defend the rim against Lebron and wade (No such team exist. Rockets, Bulls and pacers are sort of on defense)
2. Great coaching (spurs, pacers, bulls)
3. Perimeter defenders who are strong and quick enough to check Lebron (No such player exist. Pacers and Spurs to a degree)
4. A PG with enough speed to exploit the Heat defense. (spurs, Clippers)
Seems like pacers and the spurs have the most check marks. Still, the heat are the overwhelming favourites in any series. Any loss will be viewed as a dent to Lebrons legacy.
