I'm lovin that format actually, in a way it balances everything out more so the team that had the best record in the season doesn't get the home court advantage in the 5th which can make a significant difference, makes it a little more fair since Miami has the opportunity to get a winning head start in the series with their home floor
That is true, I'm just salty OKC choked 4 games in a row haha.
But game 1 tonight LETS GOOOOOOOOO

That was a great, if not the most intense first half of a NBA Finals game I've ever watched. By the 2nd half, I wanted to throw my fucking remote control and smash the LCD screen.
Since the 2-3-2 system in 1984, the team that has won the 3rd game wins %90 of the time when the series is tied at 1-1.
Calm down. This doesnt affect your life. Get over it. Its ancient history and the only thing thats certain is that you dont have all the facts. Even if you did, try to occupy your time with something more wholesome.

haha truuuu
it seemed like all the stars were playing like crap, The Spurs stars specifically. I didn't understand why the Spurs were tryna double Lebron when he was clearly looking to facilitate most of the game. Ginoboli's handles were AWFUL, he clearly didn't look like himself. Duncan couldn't get good position in the post.
3 Games in SA, I think Miami can definitely steal one game there.

The million dollar question is, how well do these guys, especially Ginobli, Duncan & Parker play at home. & vice versa with how well Miami play on the road doe...

both teams are great home teams, I think the Spurs lost once to the Warriors, while the Heat have lost a total of 4 times in the playoffs at home. But hey, maybe the spurs will close it at home, maybe we'll see another backdoor sweep. We'll see come Tuesday.

Spurs are a veteran team. They always say the best players have the shortest memories.

San Antonio said, "I see your 19, he's 36". My god, what an annihilation.
What's going on with Lebron? Wade has his excuse with his bum ass knee (don't get me started on Bosh) but Lebron reminding me of Dallas series Lebron of 2 years ago. 18 points, 17 points, 15 points? Wtf is going on with this guy? Neither big 3 are playing like a "big 3". The role players are the ones controlling this series.
Man, Green & Neal lit their asses up.
I expect the Heat to win game 4 as they haven't dropped 2 in a row since early January. They always seem to respond. I think game 5 will be the indicator of who wins this series. The Heat can't play this back and forth shit much longer though like they did with the Pacers as they dropped game 1 in this series. They have to win 2 times in a row somewhere. If not, goodbye repeat.
Oh and I hope Tony Parker is good to go the rest of the series. Apparently they're going to do an MRI on his hamstring. The excuses will come in droves if he has to sit out this series.
This guy Lebron is something else. I honestly thought he would want revenge for 2007 but dude is playing so passive that it's cringeworthy. I feel like in some ways it's a coaching thing why the Heat are suffering. Coach Pop is telling Kawhi and Danny Green to sag off Lebron and Wade so much and dare them to take that midrange shot. Lebron has bragged about all year how his midrange game has improved, and the fact that his shot isn't falling must not be very encouraging. Pop a genius.
If Miami does lose this series they'll be 1-3 in finals wins. Of course they'll be 4-4 in finals appearances but still... that's a lot of games. I think this is the big 3's last opportunity to win a chip. Steve Kerr has said many times how hard it is to make the finals consecutive years and this Heat team is looking very vulnerable right now.
However, it's very obvious we haven't seen the best of Lebron. He's yet to bless us with a classic game and I think game 4 he'll look much better (I'm expects 30+ points/12 rebounds/8 assists). I've lost all hope in D Wade; he plays hard one half and then goes missing the second half. Bosh and the role players have been inconsistent other than Mike Miller, but that's because the Spurs are giving him too much space to shoot.
I had Miami penned to win in 6, but there's no way in hell this team is winning 3 games in a row. I just can't see it.

So apparently Mike Miller is in the starting lineup tonight at small forward, moving Lebron to the 4 spot and Bosh at the 5.
I don't see this ending well at all.

Spo changed up the lineup once they were down 10 in the 1st tho. :P
Yeah, didn't see Wade playing like this at all. Miami is a scary team when the Big 3 play as good as they did tonight. My only question is whether Wade can sustain this kind of play. The playoffs have largely been inconsistent as far as individual performances go: Mario Chalmers was the hero in game 2 and was a non-factor in game 3. D. Wade only had 1 game where he scored 20 points and he goes off for 30. If D Wade is truly hurt then I don't think he can have back-to-back-to-back 30 point games. Then again, this series has been so bipolar that it's hard to even predict which team will win :P
The only thing that has been consistent is how awful Ginobli and Splitter are playing. I don't understand why Popovich was playing him down the stretch. Manu has looked so uncomfortable, not just in this series but this entire postseason. If I'm Pop I play Diaw over Manu.

If the Heat win tonight, then the series is over in my eyes (and it also means my Heat in 6 prediction is correct haha). They haven't won 2 in a row in a long time, so we'll see if Wade and Bosh will play with the same kind of hunger/desperation that they had last game. tbh I think Lebron's gonna have a big game tonight, he's due for one.
