NBA Playoffs

First game to the Spurs. So far, so good.

If all the games in this series are that good, then I don't care who wins.

[Celebrator]

I actually want the Heat to win...get it out of their system and get bored with winning championships...then we can pounce for our shot at it. I also want the Spurs to fade out anyway...just go away Spurs! So there's my quirky Finals rooting logic.

But if the Spurs win, maybe there's a chance Pop and Timmy hang it up. That is the best possible outcome for OKC in these playoffs.

Crazy game. This time the Heat don't have the luxury of 3 in a row at home. That belongs to the Spurs.

Heat have to win Game 2 or this is sweepmode.

[Bellaboo]

The Heat are not playing like the Heat of last year.....

Could have been the Thunders year.

Patrick Beverly = Public Enemy No. 1 -

[Just the facts]

Are you guys Spurs fans? Or just like everyone else and want the heat to lose? haha

I just want the title to stay in the West.

I just want the title to stay in the West.

Technically the title is in the east right now, but I do agree. Spurs need to bring it back and then next year we need to try and take it away from the state of Texas, lol.

Heat blew out the Spurs in the second half last night. That was crazy how they just turned it up and poured on about 20 points.

Now MIA has to go to San Antonio where the Spurs have a chance to close it out at home - like the Heat did to OKC last year.

The Heat don't tend to lose two in a row often, so I'm not surprised they won yesterday. They looked a lot better than game 1.

I dont think anyone will ever get trired of winning a chamionship...look at the Celtic's early seasons...Bird, Russell, all of em never got tired of winning. But the heat cant win forever. I just want the Spurs to win because Tim, Manu and Tony will all slow down after that. Pop may leave anyway

America is pulling for the Spurs. But I still think the d-bags in Miami are going to win, win next year, and the year after unless LeBron tears his ACL.

Decent change the big 3 get broken up after next season because of the salary cap unless they win this year & next. Teams not named Dallas find a way to stay together after a title.

The Spurs are blowing out the Heat tonight. I heard a number of commentators say that after Miami's dominant win in the second game, they were showing how the series would be going and many though the Heat would win tonight also. Now Miami has to win 3 of the next 4 games against the Spurs and that's won't be an easy proposition no matter where the games are played.

I didn't hear many knowledgeable commentators saying that. Those that know the NBA knew it was unlikely the Spurs would go down lightly. I'd be surprised if the Heat went down lightly either though. It's shaping up to be a pretty good series.

I hope Parker's hamstring isn't too bad.

[dankrutka]

I hope Parker's hamstring isn't too bad.

Yep. They're not winning this series without him. It would be somewhat comparable to us losing Westbrook. Without Parker's penetration into the lane those shooters won't be nearly as open. Hopefully he's okay. It's been a fun series so far.

Finals format puts so much pressure on the team with HCA.

Heat are getting a taste of what happened to us last season.

Yeah, I laugh at The Heat, cause last night San Antonio's message was kinda like, "you trounce us at your place...guess what? we can do the same to you here...BOOO YAAAAAH!". Lebron and Dwayne looked so miserable last night on the bench and I was loving it!

[ljbab728]

You have to hand it to the Heat. They came back with a solid win tonight in San Antonio and have home court advantage back. This series has taken wild swings and I could still see anything happen. A win in the next game is a must for the Spurs, though.

[Anonymous.]

Yea. Heat straight up played boss-mode. Without (full potential) Parker, the Spurs look like a Russell-less Thunder.

[ljbab728]

And the Spurs come back with a solid win tonight. Now both teams face a challenge for the title. The Heat have to win two games in a row, which they haven't so far. The Spurs have to have one road win out of the next two games.

[Mississippi Blues]

It seems like tonight is the first time I've seen San Antonio in their normal home jerseys all season. It almost seems odd seeing them in those jerseys & not the alternate.

[Dustin]

Holy crap... This finals game is intense!!!! Heat and Spurs in OT!

[Sonny_Crockett]

Word on the street is, Miami is repeating this year!
