    Spurs are just freakish. Miami won a couple of championships but they won on talent alone. They never put and extended themselves like this. Spurs are doing what no one wants to and will do in the game probably because most players are unwilling to commit and dig in the way every one of these Spurs players vow to do on a gamely basis. They are disciplined, they are locked in and they are willing to play like men for the full 48 mins. They play every second, every minute, every play and more important every spot and space on the floor.

    They are a deeper, better team. But their commitment, willingness and workmanship is what is winning this series. Not talent.

    Would you trade Batum for Leonard, ignoring contract details?

    Miami wouldn't even be a top 3 seed in the West. The east is a joke. It's Miami and then the rest... Indiana also wouldnt be a top 3... or even 4 seed in the west. They gotta balance it out, the east is terrible.

    So many empty seats with more than half the quarter left.

    Such a pathetic fanbase. The least deserving fanbase of this talent.

    Oden even sucked in garbage time. Baynes was tossing him around.

    I thought the Boo's were a classic example of the Maimi fans.

    I wonder who is going to get MVP from Duncan/Leonard. Leonard has had a great last two games and Duncan the two games before that. I personally think it will be whoever has the better impact in the closeout game and i'm hoping it will be Duncan but thats because he is probably my favorite all time player that wasn't a Blazer.
    Of course the Heat could still win the series... history just says they wont.

    This might be the image of the year. I literally laughed out loud for a good 30 seconds. This is awesome.

    Timmy also has the most playoff minutes in the history of the NBA.

    Ha ha! Looks like the Heat are having as much trouble with the Spurs as the Blazer.

    The heat or the pacers wouldn't make it to the finals if they played in the west.

    Interesting since we both had identical regular season records. (And we played in a much tougher conference)
    Maybe we are as good as the Heat.
