The spurs have no chance to beat the heat

[Quintilianus]

Spurs have the best coach in basketball right now, by far.
They have the best bigman in Duncan, who should be DPOY.
They have a legitimate MVP candidate Parker.
They have one of the craftiest players in the league in Manu.
They have a lot of experience.
They have great role players.

And didn't they lead 2-0 last year in the WCF before the most obnoxious reffing in recent NBA history?
There's two things that can stop spurs - health and david stern.

I'm a Heat fan and I have to agree the last part. There's no way Stern/Silver is going to let San Antonio have another title in the foreseeable future

Still hoping for a Spurs - Heat matchup in the finals though

Here we go with tha overrated ass heat again

[Psycho]

The Spurs almost beat a full strength Heat team earlier in the season without Parker, Duncan, or Ginobili. Reactionary much?

[poido123]

Agreed. I can't believe people are buying into the Spurs hype again.

We get it. Heat are great, no one can beat them. Satisfied?

Only ******* & assholes blame the officiating.

[LilEddyCurry]

Miami is going to be champions unless they choke or are hampered by injuries.

[Boomerang]

Even if Wade and Bosh are injured, Heat will still beat the spurs.

[DaSeba5]

What do you mean no chance? Of course they have a chance.

LeBrick fans showing no respect to the team that killed their hero in 2007

I believe that the Spurs can beat Miami, though I don't really think they will pull it off.

However, if the Spurs are to beat Miami, it won't be because of Duncan and Splitter dominating inside, it will be because of their passing and 3 point shooting.

You probably won't beat Miami playing one on one, be it with Durant and Westbrook trying to score from the perimeter.... or Duncan and Splitter trying to dominate their individual match ups in the post.

If the Heat get out of the east, I think they are winning it all.


P.S: First post, I've been reading for a long time... and I always wanted to post one of these: http://www.insidehoops.com/forum/ima...es/coleman.jpg

Yep, OKC beat a Spurs team who had won 20 in a row 4 straight times mostly because of bad officiating. OKC changing their defensive gameplan, OKC role players stepping up once the series got back to OKC, and OKC's stars (most notably Durant's epic 4th quarter in game 5 where he scored 16 straight points in the 4th quarter) stepping up had almost nothing to do with it.

No one has a chance to beat Miami 4 times out of 7.

This. Spurs will get tossed earlier than expected, as usual. Nothing against the Spurs, but this has been happening for the past 2-3 years, regular season awesomeness, then lose to a younger, more athletic team. I know there were sometimes injuries to account for, but last year was no injury excuse if I remember correctly. I don't see any reason to think differently with their big 3 being another year older, and question marks about Ginobli and Parker's ability to be at least 80%. I'm amazed though at how Duncan has been so durable.
