[::NBA FINALS THREAD: HEAT DEFEAT SPURS 4-3. CONGRATS LEBRON & MIAMI. EARNED, NOT GIVEN::]

[do work son]

I have a hunch that Poppovich throws a zone look out there tonight....

While it's a possibility, I don't think he will. I think some teams tried it last year and Miami blew it up. The mavs really caught them by surprise

If the Heat put an extra man on Green, Parker will have a wide open lane

Why would they need to put an extra man on him?

Please respond

 

[imlive365]

what's the backstory on this?

I saw when his manager got kicked out that other game.

I was watching at a bar so didn't really know what was going on.

I have no clue he got kicked out of the game vs the pacers. But maybe he was talking **** to pop during game 2 and pop don't want him there no more

Pack the paint with a zone. Miami is more than likely going to want to attack the rim with more regularity.


It also prevents Lebron from running more conventional pick and rolls.


Make Wade and Bosh hit jumpers again.


It leaves them susceptible to 3's but it might catch them off guard especially if theyre making one of those runs. Who knows.

 

[tyonenine]

They may put all of this effort to stop green. They need to watch Neal too.

 

[imlive365]

All we gotta do is play miami heat basketball

 

[Coupé It]

All the Spurs got to do is play San Antonio Spurs basketball.

Great insight fellas.

Thanks aren't I a genius?!

Do or die.

Let's go, Miami.

 

[thadoctadvocate]

Man I hate the spurs

 

[tyonenine]

Damn Tony Gonzalez really likes Lebron

 

[denni5themenace]

i want danny green to go off. it would be sick to see him win finals MVP

 

[trasoul82]

So Bosh is catching flak for actually finding a set and using his voice.

Much like his dunk to end the half in game 4, this comes a tad late.

 

[knightngale]

Joey Crawford tonight? See ya game 7 fellas, put your money on the heat tonight.

 

[duba169]

It's noteven that Crawford is a bad ref. he has personal problems with Duncan.

He shouldn't be reffing a Duncan game.

 

[lilpennymagicfan]

Why do people keep mentioning stern and a fix???

DO you not realize he is leaving in 8 months?
DO you not realize advertisements and commercials are all paid in advance like the super bowl??

Stern gains nothing by Lebron winning or losing. The payday has already been cashed.

Was the nba fixed by stern when mj did two 3 peats? OR do we not mention that since there was no social media then?

 

[goldmember]

Spurs ain't winning tonight. Heat with a blowout. Watch.

it sounds good, but it could open up driving lanes and easier looks around the basket. And the 3s like you said. It'll definitely be interesting to see both teams gameplans tonight

 

[duba169]

Oh please the NBA fans the flames. They feed into the conspiracy talk by putting Crawford out there tonight. They claimed Tim was a "rogue ref". And swept it under the rug.

 

[lilpennymagicfan]

Can anybody give any reason why it benefits the nba for the heat to win how it makes them more money??


IF im correct they revamped the cba so that players cant form super teams and they were upset that miami did it?

THe heat are more hated than liked... So again... WHy fix it for the heat/lebron? How is it beneficial?

 

[unclerukus]

Was the nba fixed by stern when mj did two 3 peats? 

Yes it was

LeBron's record in the playoffs when Joey Crawford officiates 24-3

 

[duba169]

They need a transcendent face of the league. Bron is that face. Stern has openly said he is very happy with lebron in that role just a week ago. The NBA is built around marketing dynasties and superstars. Always has been except the 70s.

 

[tyonenine]

Crawford is a clown at all times whether its the playoffs or a meaningless regular season game. He acts like the people pay to see him.

I thought stuff like this was basic common sense. I guess it's not though.

 

[durantula]

If the NBA was rigged, why would a team from San Antonio be relevant for 20 years?
