TheJoe03: He would be great as a Jason Terry type role player.

I don't know why they don't do it. Every other team with three great players does it - the Spurs brought Ginobili off the bench for years even when he was either their best or second-best player. Harden comes off the bench for the Thunder. You get a huge advantage against the other teams' bench guys. Terry was probably the Mavs' second-best offensive weapon.

Whatever, maybe he gets butthurt about losing "starter" status. No one gives a sh*t how many games you started when they look back at your career, especially if you produce.

Mobb Deep. love that commercial.

I lol'd. Though it took a second for me to remember why that would be the caption.

So SA is already doubling up LA.....

gtfan92: drew46n2: IAmRight: It's impressive how many more posts these threads get when the Heat are losing.


everyone loves a good ole-fashioned curb-stompin. Besides,espn still has this on their NBA page:

Wow, it's almost like ESPN has a blog for every team and advertises the one that gets the most hits.


it gets the most hits because the team is crammed down our throats then held in with a ball gag.

TheManofPA: So SA is already doubling up LA.....

WAY easier to double up at the beginning.

/lol this is going to make the other game look like a nailbiter

TheJoe03: drew46n2: Mobb Deep. love that commercial.

Mobb Deep is in a commercial? Hell yeah!


It's the Spurs' "Big" commercial. Still love it?

Clips/Spurs first quarter: 6 3-pointers made.

Heat first three games: 5 3-pointers made.

gtfan92: People are being forced to click on it?


yes.

TheJoe03: Well I love good hip-hop maybe a bit more than I hate the Spurs, I'll have to see it before I make that judgement.

If it makes you feel better, even in their ad, the ad basically says "The Spurs are really boring."

was that a Matt Bonner block??????

Nice foul, Ginobili. Suck it, Griffin.

DamnYankees: TheJoe03: IAmRight: He can live off the one title that was given to him by Stern for his whole career and no one will criticize him.

I think the tide is turning on him to be honest, actual fans have began to notice what a tool he is. The media seems to love him for God knows what reason.

Agreed. At this point, I certainly root against Wade more than Lebron.

Actually, me too. I never really hated Lebron, but I agreed with everyone else that the whole "taking my talents" thing was the biggest dick move I had seen in a long time. I'm sure he wishes he could take it back. Still, aside from that I don't really have problems with the guy, and I'm noticing Wade a lot more--not really liking what I'm seeing.

Griffin has such a dumb FT stroke. It's like Barkley's golf stroke. "Hey, let's take all the momentum, stop for no reason, and then half-ass the finish."

TIAAAAAAAGO!

Hey! That is my "sex move".

knight_on_the_rail: Sounds like a lebron fourth quarter...

herp derp

god DAMN is that a tired-ass meme. Shockingly, he scored fewer points in quarters where he got his rest (typically goes to the bench for the first few minutes of the 2nd/4th quarters). He was actually worse in the 2nd quarter for that series. And he's performed plenty well in many playoff 4th quarters - for example, Game 1 of this current series.

coolio mack: These Spurs look like they could go 4-4-4. Well, probably not since Popovich will be resting his starters in game 3 for preparation of the next round.

If this team wins the title, they will be one of the greatest teams of all time and no one will even know it.

They will go to 2-0 in lockout seasons.

/Spurs fans go and whisper to owners that they're still paying players too much

coolio mack: They are 42-7 since the start of February.


They've lost 7 of their last 50.

2 of their last 30.

and 15 in-a-row.

See, I don't like that reaction by Spo to Wade. Reaching up and scratching your neck like you don't want any? Bench him.

that should say *won* 15 in-a-row

you have pee hands: The Heat are astoundingly bad from 3 this series.

And it's killing them. When they can't hit the 3 ball, their defense can sag back and keep the lanes clogged up so Wade and Lebron can't drive in. If they can't get better with the longball, this series won't improve for them. Luckily for them, Spoelstra is an absolute basketball genius and sh--hahaha, I'm sorry, I couldn't finish that last sentence.

Seriously, though, this series depends on Miller and Chalmers being able to hit a decent percentage from downtown. Even a few of those in the first quarter would have a drastic impact on the rest of the game.

bulldg4life: I sometimes wonder if the 2007 game against the Pistons happened in some alternate reality where its impact cannot be felt in this universe.

It's not like that's the only one - he played well against the Bulls in the 4th quarters in the conference finals, too. It's just a case of "well yeah he succeeded this time but when he fails, I'm all over that! And I'll point out that he choked and always chokes!"

SmackLT: Seriously, though, this series depends on Miller and Chalmers being able to hit a decent percentage from downtown. Even a few of those in the first quarter would have a drastic impact on the rest of the game.

And Shane "0-6" Battier. Miller actually did hit on his in this game. But if Battier can make them then they get decent defense AND some offense and that makes them happy all over.

Okay, go fightin' Boris Diaws! Hey, now if you go check on a teammate that gets knocked down, you're not going to get suspended!

"Reggie Evans with great hustle to take it away"

...Duncan wasn't even going to get that shot off. I don't think the Spurs ever want to see Duncan taking the ball down the court.

/wtf is on Evans' shoulder that he's always wearing a bandage? Surgery scar? That's the only thing that makes sense.

coolio mack: This team everyone completely wrote off after the playoffs last year and just assumed they were old and done. And they've just been laying beatdowns all year. Pretty amazing to see.

Pop's a hell of a coach, too.

knight_on_the_rail: I never thought i'd be rooting for the clippers, but here I am... what's happened in my life that made it come to this?

Maybe you were a bad man in a previous life.
