NBA 2012-13 Season Thread - Crown The Heat!

This is finals basketball as its supposed to be! ARE YOU
NOT ENTERTAINED????

I find it odd that the Spurs did not find a way to get a fifth foul on Wade. You can't allow a hot guy with four early fouls to spend that much time on the floor.

Spurs can't stop the Heat tonight. Good game Heat.

Mippo was right all along! Dwyane Wade IS the MVP of the Heat.

Wade is finally playing well this is the way he is suppose to play every game. If he was consistent the heat would have swept.

Best of 3 now with last 2 in Miami. So Spurs either have to win two in a row or win game 7 in Miami.

Spurs are a great team so /shrug who knows what happens.

I hope this Wade sticks around though.

So you really think they'll be able to win a game 7 in Miami? That's a tall task imo.

I told one of my friends a couple days ago at lunch that I thought they were going to trade wins until Game 7, at which point it'll be a toss-up. Home court won't mean much at that point, but I don't see the Spurs winning both 6 and 7 there if they lose Game 5 on Sunday.

I think what really hurts the Spurs is Parker's hamstring and Ginobli disintegrating into a fine powder right before our very eyes. The dude has just been getting worse and worse. San Antonio can't dictate match up advantages against Miami like they could against earlier playoff opponents. When Miami goes small, even a gimpy Wade can't be guarded by Splitter or Diaw. Bosh put his big boy pants on and played like a big should, going up for rebounds and hanging around inside.

I think Miami's disadvantage is that they have to play harder in order to win. This isn't a knock on the Spurs effort though; on defense Miami is scrambling around hysterically with their swarming help defense to try and keep up with the Spurs' well executed ball movement. Miami is also a good team at moving the ball around, but it seems like all the Spurs don't have to run around as much and just let the Heat have contested jumpers/3's but stay ready to collapse into the paint to force a highly contested layup.

Whoever wins tomorrow wins it all, imo. This has been a weird series.

Well, I guess it would be really weird if nobody wins the series. :/

After last nights game the question in my head is whether or not Manu can step up for the Spurs the same way Wade did for the Heat. Also can Splitter stop trying to dunk just like Bosh needed to stop shooting 3's?
