    San Antonio put on an offensive clinic. The Spurs ended up with a 124.0 offensive rating for the series, the best by any team in a Finals dating back to 1978 (the first year for which Basketball-Reference.com has turnovers by series).


    San Antonio's .528 shooting percentage was an NBA Finals record(Beating the 91 Bulls .527 clip), but that doesn't tell the whole story of how well the Spurs shot the ball. They made 55 3-pointers -- more than any team has ever made in a Finals of fewer than seven games -- and shot them at a 46.6 percent clip.

    Effective field goal percentage, which accounts for the additional value of 3s by treating them as 1.5 field goals, does a better job of capturing San Antonio's efficient shooting. The Spurs' 60.4 percent mark blew away the previous record (55.5 percent by the 2002 Lakers).

    The Heat reminded me of how we used to be. Very good offense but not good enough defensively. As a result it put too much pressure on our offense. The reason why we won and almost won last year was going back to our defensive roots.

    The an hesis of boring.

    I'd like to have a DVD of the best plays of this year, including the regular season. The 2014 Spurs by far have been the most exciting team in Spurs history.

    124 offensive rating is absolutely ing sick. It's hard to overstate how incredibly dominant that is.

    And yes, the defense was pretty good too, but if you had to grade them, the defense gets an A- (the Heat still shot pretty well) and the offense gets an A+++.

    The Spurs unleashed everything and didn't hide any energy, plays, or tricks.

    This is what happens. Miami is ed next year too if they meet us again and we're healthy if they don't make several changes.
