typical media tbh
I've listened to Mike and Mike in the Morning on ESPN Radio for about 10 years now and while they usually are pretty fair and balanced (especially Golic), Mike Greenberg is doing it with some subs utes today and this morning they have not talked about us winning, they went out and said the reason that we won is because LeBron wasn't playing and had the brass to say that it's not a slight on us, and that they aren't making excuses, but they totally are.
It's disgusting, they are already naming game 1 as the "The Heat Game" and "The Cramp Game", as if they are already writing the books on LeBron's miraculous comeback series. They even said that the temperature played a part, too.
I know it's classic for us to get ignored by the media, but this bugged me in particular — they made a big deal that the Heat were winning before LeBron left but didn't quite realize that they weren't winning by a large amount, and we had multiple turnovers.
Totally that they won't talk about us winning how we did but they will make excuses for LeBron. Terrible.
Absolutely, all of the players and coaches aren't even using the temperature as an excuse but the media will go right on there and jump at it for any reasons why the Heat didn't win.
ja adande seemed so salty in he post game and now the dime kinda reads salty too
Actually the heat were losing when he went out. His basket cut it to 94-92, and then he was out.
Soooooo..... Yeah....
Haven't seen or read much, but I imagine it's 5 seconds on us winning and 50 minutes on LeBron's menstrual cramps.
Now Greenberg is suggesting it could be a conspiracy about the A/C. Un ingbelievable.
You've got to hear this : http://espn.go.com/espnradio/
Awful takes.
When we lose it's because of how great miami is. Well parker wasn't 100 percent neither so this was a fair match and we won. The haters will have to deal with it......
I love them tears tbh![]()
Not listening or reading any of that though...
One person in the entire arena was having cramps. Guess it's everyone else's fault.
So, when we sweep them, what will their excuse be then?![]()
LeBron was hurting.![]()
Mike Green is a f ing prick I want to get one of those bobbleheads...take a handfull of outta my ass and smear it on the bobblehead and shove it down his ing mouth!!!!
we'd play at the half court at my apt in the summer mid afternoon, sometimes for an hr or 2. now we jumped in the pool afterwards, but with timeouts we hit some Gatorade and kept playing no cramps. and this is in direct sunlight and 90+temps in san antonio.
People don't even talk about this but Wade faded badly. He started 5-5, and finished 8-18. That's a 3-13 finish.
Bro, these idiots on Mike and Mike are actually believing there might be a conspiracyand they haven't mentioned anything about LeHGH... This is disgusting
We don't deserve much credit, we were awful. Deserved to lose and we stole one.
Mike Jewberg has always had an axe to grind against the Spurs.
He thinks he is an expert about basketball since he was a beat reporter covering the Bulls twenty years ago.
Jewberg always picks against SA if the matchup is even reasonably close.
IIR, he a BIG bug up his ass regarding the Horry Nash bump. Jewberg ed and moaned about all playoffs about that situation. It's too bad. The Spurs were better.
Now the Spurs are better and they will get no credit if they win this series. That's too bad.
Why are we surprised? Of course, excuses for Miami but what about the lack of play from Wade & Bosh! They are all stars & should be held accountable for playing like crap in the 4th quarter! Give me a ing break! Spurs continued to play in this game w/o ac & played Sours basketball to win! They had 1 turnover in the 4th after turning the ball over & over! Spurs will play better the next game & will not turn the ball over like that again! Go Spurs Go!
The Heat had 23 turnovers too. This game was taken.
So both teams did everything they could to lose it, we were just the least worst on the night. Nothing about our performance is worth celebrating, although the result is.
Mike and Mike is a football and baseball show. They've always been completely putrid whenever it comes to anything about the NBA. For a few years, their NBA "expert" was Vitale, FFS. It would be better if they just never mentioned basketball, instead of going through the motions like they do.
The series isn't going to be about the Spurs, regardless of whether the Spurs win or lose, tbh..
If the Heat win, Lebron is the greatest, if they lose, he's a loser..that's the media, the Spurs' don't draw viewers, we should all be accustomed to this, by now..
