Best first half in NBA playoff History 75.8%

[poido123]

Unbelievable.

I can't get over how good that was.

The ball movement was amazing.

[Smook A.]

What I love about the Spurs is that each player looks to pass the ball first before they shoot the ball. That is why they get so many easy looks at the basket.

Ball movement is key to good offense.

Asterisk for having sliders on. Spuds are classless.

Reminded me of the Spurs second quarter against OKC before they choked the game away and got back door swept a couple years. That was like the best 5 minutes of basketball I have seen before tonight.

When they are on.... Holy shit.

I wonder how they balance up after a game like that?

Very hard to replicate that performance.

I'm assuming this goes 2-2 back to SA

Let's not forget the Heat shot 58% in the first half and 52% overall (48% from 3, Shard, Ray and Even Bosh were knocking them down)... and theywere crushed. Spurs don't need to set a record every time in order to beat MIA.

Moving Splitter to the bench for Boris was the obvious adjustment to make. Crucial for spacing and the results prove this. Leonard now has room to attack the basket with Tiago out. Also adds another playmaker to a lineup that already passes well.

Ray won't stop missing, Lewis will be benched early next game when he cools down, and battier has been barely used. He's one guy that can give Spurs problems.

I'm wondering where Oden and Beasley are?

Bosh was quiet this game, first 2 games he was pretty good.

Admit it, Spurs got absolutely robbed if you're talking about 2012 G6. One of the best first half in Spurs history and the refs have that lead gone midway through the third.

Not to mention the Thunder played like shit against Miami. SA def would have given them a harder series.

[All Net]

Couldn't believe what I was seeing.

[J Shuttlesworth]

That was unreal. Spurs were ridiculous in the first half, and the 4th quarter

[BigTicket]

Spurs are clearly the best team in the NBA when they have it going. That first half performance was just unreal. :applause:

[WallIn]

Based from what I saw in the playoffs I predicted Spurs in 6 and it will probably come into fruition.

The way they're playing, the Spurs deserve the 5th Championship

I don't like "hating" on Lebron, but I couldn't get over how... dejected... he looked. WTF? I would be mad as hell. He just looked sad. I know I've only played rec league, and the competition is way better in the NBA (obviously), but when my team is getting its butt kicked like that, and I"m the best player on the court, I lock down whomever I'm guarding, and I take the ball to the hoop on offense EVERY. SINGLE. TIME. Lebron just looked dejected, and as if he was going through the motions.

Granted, all this changed in the second half, when Miami actually looked like they cared... but come on. That first half was embarrassing.

But when Lebron passes the ball he gets criticized :lol

More surreal numbers...

They hit 19 of their first 21 shots, including a perfect 6 for 6 from 3-pointers.
The two missed shots were by Duncan and Parker.

During that stretch they also went 11 for 13 from the free throws, the two missed FTs were from Duncan.

[Champ]

I'd say second best half in Finals history, trailing only the Memorial Day Massacre in 1985.
