    Well, that's a colorful phrase. I'm going to try to work that one into a conversation today.

    Yes! I loved it, way more exciting than I thought it would be. The Spurs are just so good in close games. They just don't make mistakes and they're so tough to come back on once they have a lead. Miami is going to have to go into 4th quarters with double digit leads and try to just trade buckets because the Spurs just go into turbo on defense. Great game!!!

    This is true. And I would say 80% of that is Tony Parker. He controls the ball and some would even say "over dribbles". But it works. When in doubt they run some ISO plays and he comes through. But the rest of the team does a great job of screening for him, taking his pass, and giving it right back to him. He has been their MVP without a doubt.

    I've been underestimating Kawhi Leonard

    He's arguably playing better defense on LeBron than Paul George

    Am I the only one who would take Kawhi Leonard over Paul George?

    I don't want Splitter anymore.

    I think LeBron took his manhood

    Good God. Lebron. He's mastered something Kobe still hasn't figured out in terms of dominating without chucking.

    Don't hate on greatness.

    I didn't see the game; how did LeBron dominate while he was 2-12? Did he score a bunch after SA pulled their starters with 8 minutes to go?

    Defense, passing, playmaking, drawing and kicking out of double teams. Dude played a complete game and didn't force shots. He was the leader behind their ridiculous run (like 33-5 in a 8 or so minutes). There are definitely times when it seems like he should chuck, but it's just not in his game, and on his team, those situations are very rare. And I really appreciate that more than I do Kobe jacking up 30 shots to get 30 points while his teammates suffer.

    Khawi Leonard's been taking Lebrons manhood throughout this series.
