what the hell is wrong with Z-Bo this series 

 

[elpablo21]

Spurs will be fine against the Heat if Tony continues to live in the paint and control the tempo

 

[imlive365]

Dude is ridiculous, lol the conversation all along was who if anyone could challenge the heat in the east

Western conference > Eastern conference

o look at miamis record against the west it really dosent matter what conference your in.

 

[Bert.]

norris cole is somewhere begging spo to keep him on the bench if they play the spurs

Why? He can guard TP

i bet

 

[tyonenine]

Missing free throws. They don't want it

 

[imlive365]

i bet

id say its alot harder to guard nate robinson then TP. tp is the better player but nate is so much quicker then tp and cole would be able to stay with TP easily

Tim Duncan?

Honestly all i meant is that the best western team will give the heat more of a challenge than the best eastern team

 

[durantula]

yes i watched the series and they didnt choke okc was just the better team. if russ didnt get hurt then okc would be in the finals again this year and not the spurs.

im not saying the pacers are a better team then the spurs there not the match up problems for the heat are much worse against the pacers then against the spurs we can match up much better with them. there wouldnt really be any big advantgas down low for the spurs i actually think bosh would out play duncan down low.

btw oh you wernt here last night but remember that vid you put up of lebron getting crossed by paul george when it really wasnt anything? this is what a cross looks like 

1.) Bosh will never outplay Timmy. ESPECIALLY not down low

2.) Yes spurs partially choked last year.

3.) Tony parker is going to go off.

4.) I know what a cross looks, there is also more than 1 type of crossover, such as the in and out, the double cross, the norris cole one you see in the vid, etc.

 

[lynchpin33]

season on the line and no one gets back on defense, inexcuseable....

 

[jjs]

what the hell is wrong with Z-Bo this series 

Popovich

i know what you ment i didnt mean the pacers were better then the spurs there not what i mean is the pacers have more advantages against the heat then the spurs would have. 

 

[unclerukus]

Tim Duncan?

Pretty much

 

[shoelyesses]

id say its alot harder to guard nate robinson then TP. tp is the better player but nate is so much quicker then tp and cole would be able to stay with TP easily

um true but not true... tp is a much elusive and better player....if it was all about just quickness and speed, ty lawson...damn near if not the entire league. Its more to tp thenhim being quick in which btw he really isnt as quick, lost a step compared to a few years ago.

seriously put all the heat hate aside and look at the matches there would be on the court in a spurs vs heat series. 

tim wouldnt be able to keep up with boshes foot speed down low rebounding he would out play him but bosh would be able to get any shot he wants. tony parker is really the only advantage the spurs would have.

 

[lynchpin33]

well with their season about to be over, i have been wondering and will ask this question, how in the hell is Tony Allen a starting guard in the NBA???? A 6th man or rotation guy yes, but a starting "shooting" guard that cant score - NO WAY

 

[memphisboi55]

Tony Allen ain't going down w/o a fight. My dude grinding

 

[$tacy]

The main difference is tp actually has an iq. Staying wit nate on a couple crossovers n contested 3 is way different than keeping tony out the paint. Hes not going to dribble in place n.throw up a prayer.

same as lin being a starting point guard with limited court vision, limited ball handling skills, a ok to decent passing game at best...hey ish happens is all i can say.

Plus, Nate's tiny size sometimes negates his quickness.

Him being so little makes it easier for defenders to recover 

 

[trickster360cj]

Parker

Bosh has foot speed down low? I must've missed it, I rarely see dude even go into the paint if its not off a pump fake then drive. Timmy will outplay bosh. Tony parker will eat up norris cole, Ill take SA's bench over miamis, especially in these playoffs. Plus the out coaching massacre that is going to happen is inevitable.

Man dude is a g, please wear people n gold next year

 

[lynchpin33]

this is ridiculous with memphis - conley on duncan and he can barely get around him, and throws up some B.S. and that and that ain't for Bill Simmons....

It can only work if you have a elite scoring point guard and scoring SF which Memphis does not
