Spurs in 6.

 

[bone_and_sinew]

Heat in 6, Let's Go Heat!

 

[ErasureAcer]

Miami 4-3 or Spurs 4-0 to complete all the margins of victory for both teams this post season.

 

[Vestal]

Spurs in 6.

Nope spurs not clinching in Miami.

Miami in 6.

 

[Cse]

So sick of the Heat. Plus, I like Spurs....use to watch Duncan play when he attended Wake Forest.

 

[ampere]

San Antonio has home court this year. I say them in 7... but I'm not that confident about it. The Heat are still so good.

Hope Parker is feeling OK, need all the starters healthy for this showdown.

 

[Papytendo]

How can he be king with no ring?

 

[MezzoForte]

GO SPURS GO!

 

[Bread]

How can he be king with no ring?

Is it 2011 again?

 

[rando14]

Fuck da thunder!!

 

[Blablurn]

Miami in 4

 

[BTM]

Gotta go with the Heat here.

 

[Lkr]

Nope spurs not clinching in Miami.

Miami in 6.

Is it not 2-3-2 this year?

 

[Blablurn]

Is it not 2-3-2 this year?

2-2-1-1-1

 

[eternaLightness]

As much as I want Spurs to win, I think Heat will 3-peat.

 

[Vicetrailia]

I think we're looking at a 7 game series with the Heat winning, beating SA at home.

 

[victreeb3l]

As much as I want Spurs to win, I think Heat will 3-peat.

Same. I want the Spurs to win but my gut tells me it'll be Miami.

 

[RBelong2Us]

Only way Heat win is if role players show up and somewhat can compete against Spurs bench, otherwise there is no way.

 

[Nobility]

Heat in 7.

 

[Devilgunman]

The Spurs are going to get it done this year. Last year they were the better team until the last 12 seconds of the 4th quarter in game 6. They overcame OKC aka their worst matchup with 3 blown-out victories. I expect game 1 to be an onslaught by the Spurs and they will close the series in 5.

 

[Shamrock7r]

Spurs win in 3. Heat forfeit after losing game 3 by 60. Boris Diaw MVP averaging 40/20/15

 

[johnny_park]

I hope the Spurs win but I think the Heat will win in 6.

 

[maruchan]

Lower tv ratings, than the last time they meet. no one cars about lebron or the spurs.

 

[Peanut Butter]

I'm still salty over Ray Allen's corner 3 from last year's Finals. I just want Miami taken out!

Spurs in 4

Spoiler

one can dream...

 

[Enker]

Spurs in 6 - Ray Allen’s not going to do it twice. And they’ll clinch in Miami.

 

[Aim_Ed]

Spurs in 6

 

[Pastry]

My brother and I have been laughing at this all morning:

http://deadspin.com/this-is-lance-stephenson-blowing-the-ball-away-from-kev-1584378830

Going to try and make it to game 2, 5 and 7 depending on how long it goes. Spurs in 6!

 

[bigmit3737]

How''s that young star on the Spurs playing in this year 's playoffs ?

He is supposed to be the future of the Spurs If I remember correctly.

Kawhi had the play of the game last night, strip/block that sealed the deal.

 

[MorisUkunRasik]

If you're still straggling behind, the NBAgaf temp forum (where NBAgaf migrated to) is still going.

PM me if you still need a link.

 

[ampere]

Is it not 2-3-2 this year?

2-2-1-1-1

Yeah I think ALL NBA playoff series are now 2-2-1-1-1.

Personally I wouldn't like that as a player since I hate flying, but I understand why they did it.

 

[Chaotix]

Heat in 6.

 

[bigmit3737]

Kawhi had the play of the game last night, strip/block that sealed the deal.

I think he really needs to make an impact this series.
I'm afraid Ray Allen and the more experienced supporting cast are going to play well enough to have a positive impact this series.

I haven't watch much of the Spurs these playoffs so not sure how they are playing ,but
Lebron has been playing really well IMO.

I want the Spurs to win, just cause Ducan doesn't get enough recognition as of the best players .

 

[Hellix]

Heat in 7. Lebron MVP.

 

[johnny_park]

Don't they refer to him as the best PF ever or am I making that up?

 

[agrajag]

threepeat!

 

[MetalFearSolid]

Don't they refer to him as the best PF ever or am I making that up?

Yes, but the problem is he hasn't repeated as back to back champion. One thing that hurts his impressive resume among the greats.

 

[johnny_park]

Larry Bird never repeated. That didn't affect his legacy and it won't affect Timmy's either. I think it's more impressive that he's been able to play for championships over such a long period of time.

 

[Blablurn]

Heat in 7. Lebron MVP.

lol

 

[Hypemaster]

Spurs in 6 or 7.

Pop's laugh ensured victory this year

 

[Grover Cleveland]

Heat in 7. Lebron MVP.

Heat in 6

 

[MetalFearSolid]

Agreed, but most of the greatest big man have. It is sad because Tim Duncan could have actually 5-peated. From 2003-2007, and of course could have won last year and this year too.

Still greatest PF ever.

 

[JJDinomite]

The Heat will win, how anyone can deny this is beyond me. It's like debating whether or not the Earth will keep spinning tomorrow. For as long as we live on this green world, the Miami Heat will always win.

 

[CassidyIzABeast]

Heat in 5

 

[Anth0ny]

Heat winning free

Boring ass nba

 

[DemurOnion]

Spurs in 6. Timmy!

My god does this hurt resumes now in armchair land?

 

[Forceatowulf]

A friend of mine was talking about NBA finally seeing some "parity" when the playoffs started. Haha.. ahahah... AHAHAHAHAHAHAH!!

I don't know which team I hate more of the two honestly. I feel I definitely have more respect for Pop and Timmy D though *shrugs* Whoever wins, we lose. Whoever loses... we lose. Such is the state of the NBA.

Spoiler

OKC would be going for their second chip right now if they didn't over pay Ibaka and kept Harden. The poor fools.

 

[Exokell]

Blah blah blah hate Miami blah blah. Don't hate mofos, appreciate. LBJ is one of the greatest. I bet ur assess were gonna be hating on mj if u knew he was a huge asshole outside of basketball.
