Spurs vs Heat - The official 2013 NBA Championship thread!

[SlyPokerDog]

Alex Kennedy ‏@AlexKennedyNBA - Dwyane Wade said he's going to be aggressive tonight. He was asked how many shots he wants. He laughed, but admitted that 15 would be nice.

Kind of a weak in arena introduction for the Heat. My all time favorite is still the Bulls from the Jordan/Pippen era.

PUT TMAC IN THE GAME POP!!

 

[KingSpeed]

Almost game time!

The Spurs need to steal one of these first two games to win the series.

Go Spurs!

I think they need to win both. But who cares? Worst NBA Finals matchup ever. This matchup is even more boring than Grizzlies vs Spurs. Gosh, the Grizzlies suck.

Tim Duncan has now made at least one field goal in all 1,385 games (regular season + playoffs) of his career

 

[SlyPokerDog]

Timmy with the step back buzzer beater!

Timmy with the step back buzzer beater!

Could have had him! Lets not forget that.

Lebron put up 10-5-8 without breaking a sweat in the first half. This guy...

 

[BBert]

Could have had him! Lets not forget that.

Says who?

 

[BigGameDamian]

Says who?

Spurs offered Tim Duncan for Greg Oden before the draft.

Spurs offered Tim Duncan for Greg Oden before the draft.

Link? LOL

 

[BigGameDamian]

Link? LOL

Well it's still a rumor... http://blog.oregonlive.com/nba/2010...uncan_for_greg_oden_news_notes_and_links.html

 

[PapaG]

Oh, here is the 'proof' that the Spurs offered Duncan for Oden.

One source close to the team said general manager Kevin Pritchard was swayed toward Oden not only because of the Blazers' needs but also because nearly every GM inquired about making a deal for the right to choose Oden, including San Antonio, which was said to be open to offering Tim Duncan. If rivals were considering trading cornerstone players for Oden, it's hard to blame Pritchard for making that choice.

Have to trust those unnamed sources...

It's weird, but I am totally rooting for the Spurs. I can't believe I want them to beat the heat as much as I do, but fuck damn I want it.

Spurs scrubs are missing there wide open 3s. That wont translate into another championship for them if they keep that up for the series.

 

[BigGameDamian]

Duncan was standing in the paint for like 6 seconds.

Duncan was standing in the paint for like 6 seconds.

If he can get away with it Im all for it. I have nothing against the Spurs really since TD is a classy guy and Pops is a great coach. The only player I don't like is Manu and is pussy ass flopping.

Amazing that Bron already has 12/10/12 and they are losing.

This is a good game. Tough plays, good reffing, coaching awesomeness, and stars taking it at each other on D.

 

[BigGameDamian]

Spurs were just toying with the Heat in the first three quarters of play.

 

[EGame]

This is a good game. Tough plays, good reffing, coaching awesomeness, and stars taking it at each other on D.

You have that right. The refs have been great in this first game which makes this game so enjoyable. If they were constantly like this I would love the NBA (even with the big 3 bullshit). Sadly, for as awesome as they have been tonight they will still continue to suck the superstars dicks against teams like ours next year.

Edit: Man Timmy D has come along way at that free throw line. I remember when he was fairly bad. Not horrible, but not as good as now either.

 

[JfizzleBlazer]

Loving this game. Go spurs!

 

[EGame]

WOW AT PARKER. CLUTCH

That is a close call though.

 

[Further]

Well, does it count?

 

[Pinwheel1]

Unbelievable. Just got it off his finger tips. That is game. awesome

 

[Further]

Spurs on their way to a sweep

 

[EGame]

Good fuck the Heat. 3 more plz Spurs.

 

[Pinwheel1]

Once again in crunch time the most important player on the floor is the guy who controls the dribble. The PG.

 

[magnifier661]

It would be soooo awesome if they sweep the heat
