Frankly, I was disappointed in Spurs yesterday. Miami did not do that much more then in previous games. After 15-5 start Spurs stopped playing and let Miami to crawl back in the game and it was pretty much over after that. At home in finals you should keep foot on the pedal non stop to kill other team and not even let them have any hope and Spurs failed to do so. It was one of worst games coached by Pop I ever remember - subsitutions, in game adjustments and timeouts were weird and not typical for Pop. Ginobili went mia there was just no general sense of urgency as well and that was enough for them to fold.
 
An interesting dilemma for pop: to play Manu or to give more burn to Neal?

Neal has played better than many this post season. In fact, Neal seems to be coming into his own right now. Meanwhile, Manu looks old. Do you play more Neal? Or do you roll the dice expecting Manu to get out of his slump?

Tough decisions for pop to make. Glad I'm not him. I probably lean more towards Neal.

Manu had some dumb, dumb turnovers last game. Dude needs to stop getting so cheeky when they don't have momentum.
 
Had Manu made that 3 the At&T center would have blown up. Still he looks like All Star Manu tonight.
 
I like how James is the last of ten people down the court every time he misses a shot (and feels entitled to a call). Fourth quarter or not, doesn't matter to him.
 
Ugh, Sterns mark must have signaled to the refs to slow it down and let the game get tighter. Three awful calls in a row.
 
Wow.

Damn.

It's games like these that just make you admire at the greatness of one of the best franchises in all of pro sports.

Who the hell is Danny Green? Kawhi Leonard is such a stud. Spurs Big 3 stepped up and looked 10 years younger. Even Boris Diaw gave them good mins!

I know they've beaten the crap out of us under the Duncan regime. But man, what a fantastic team. I'm going to miss them when they're gone. They play hoops the way it's supposed to be played.

So true.

He commits so many boneheaded fouls and plays... But the spurs are usually 10x better when he is out there and in attack more like tonight. You'll take the 2-3 stupid fouls and turnovers when he's giving you so many positives in other areas of the game
 
I have no clue who is going to win this thing. This spurs need huge games from green, Parker, and Ginobli/Neal to win. As great as they played tonight Miami was in striking distance with 3 mins to go. I can't imagine that the spurs could blow a 2 game series lead.... Then again, now that D-Wade has returned to Flash form, I don't see the Heat losing 2 games on their home court this series. I have no clue how this is going to shake out. If I'm the spurs, I gotta look at game 6 as game 7. Because playing the Heat on the road in a game 7 is going to be hell.

Who's going to win this thing?
 
Neither team is really playing all that great of team basketball.....kinda low assist totals, too many turnovers, and just in general, some sloppy offensive schemes that sometimes work and sometimes they don't! But I think the Spurs will pull one win out of the next two.....at least I hope so! Don't really want to see the the Heat hoppers bragging about all that athletic ability beating the more fundamentally sound team! Ginobli sure does waste some good possessions with careless passing, though!
 
I think it's what Ginobili does that sometimes results in a bad play is what makes him so good. He forces the issue and when he does and he's on, he usually succeeds and in crunch time it leads to a big play. Tonight he took it to the Heat and played with an aggressiveness that he had been lacking. I believe it was because Pop had given him the green light and told him to do his thing.
