I just want to point out that if you don't follow the iron sheik on twitter you are missing some of the most insightful commentary you'll ever get on live NBA games.

That first one rimmed out and I was like, "he needed that one...he'll miss them all from here on out."

6/6/2013 10:24:59 PM

they are right about this pace not being good for the Spurs

also, lol @ at all the different dudes Pop was throwing at Lebron

6/6/2013 10:26:09 PM

We should decide which thread is official for finals by playing a game between supports.

6/6/2013 10:28:01 PM

Popovich should be punched in the nuts for even thinking about putting Diaw on James.

6/6/2013 10:29:59 PM

Yeah, not a good plan there, but they don't really have anyone who can guard him one on one. Leonard is their best bet, but he will foul out if they don't run some other people at Lebron.

6/6/2013 10:34:08 PM

Lebron and Tony Parker are the winners of the first step contest

^ nobody can guard him one-on-one, it's just some are better suited to try

[Edited on June 6, 2013 at 10:35 PM. Reason : yeah]

6/6/2013 10:34:14 PM

^^ Anybody is better than Diaw

6/6/2013 10:58:59 PM

Somebody needs to let Norris Cole that the 4th quarter is not the best time to start the Norris Cole show.

6/6/2013 11:02:05 PM

if Bosh keeps taking 3's...oh man, not good for Miami

6/6/2013 11:13:15 PM

if this game is going to continue to follow this script, it's time for Lebron to take over offensively

6/6/2013 11:13:38 PM

An impressive FT jinx from Van Gundy on Ray Allen there.

this game is so good that even the Miami fans are into it

6/6/2013 11:19:35 PM

Heat picking a very inopportune time to go cold. Lebron needs to go to the hole on the next couple of possessions.

6/6/2013 11:21:41 PM

^^^didn't realize 13 points, FOUR REBOUNDS, and 0-3 from behind the arc was any different than he played against the Pacers

6/6/2013 11:24:31 PM

Christ, Lebron might end up with a 20 rebound game.

6/6/2013 11:26:51 PM

lol Bosh

6/6/2013 11:29:11 PM

Shooters gotta shoot.

It's not...that's why he said "playoffs"

6/6/2013 11:32:10 PM

JT3 was the guy who said Bosh would have a good series, and that it was specifically the Pacers who shut him down

he didn't quote himself

also, Parker with the early nod for Finals MVP

6/6/2013 11:33:30 PM

Ridiculous shot by Parker... which might not count. I think it was late, but we'll see.

Hoo boy, and it's good, by a fucking cunt hair.

[Edited on June 6, 2013 at 11:35 PM. Reason : sdfsd]

6/6/2013 11:34:27 PM

I think he got it.

6/6/2013 11:34:29 PM

that's as close as it gets

inconclusive at best.

6/6/2013 11:34:58 PM

Damn that was insane

6/6/2013 11:35:14 PM

only 3 more days until game 2! which is also in Miami, meaning nobody has to travel! yet its 3 days away!

6/6/2013 11:40:12 PM

if the rest of the series is anything like Game 1, it deserves to be the highest rated ever

(it won't, ratings-wise)

6/6/2013 11:41:29 PM

Lebron kicking the ball out to bosh for a 3 pointer was fucking retarded.

6/6/2013 11:41:48 PM

Go Spurs Go!!!



TP & TD doing work!!!

6/6/2013 11:42:18 PM

fuck watching the local news after the game, why can't we get some Charles and Ernie

6/6/2013 11:43:12 PM

Miami always loses game 1

6/7/2013 12:08:41 AM

btw, did anybody see the Jimmy Kimmel pre-game show? He had "Trick Shot Titus" (the baby in the commercial that plays basketball) compete against Shaq in a shooting contest...the 3'0" tall 2-year old shot from I think 6 feet away from a 3-foot goal, and Shaq shot from 18 feet away on a 7'1" goal...Trick Shot Titus won 8-0, and drained his final 6 shots in a row...fucking hilarious

6/7/2013 12:44:47 AM

on the DVR

will report back some time later

6/7/2013 2:01:02 AM

Tony Parker was clutch last night. Huge 4th Q and of course the shot to ice the game. Fucking Bosh sucks dick. Stop playing him big minutes Spolestra. Give some of his minutes to Battier or more minutes to Birdman. Chalmers was garbage too, especially in the 4th Q.

6/7/2013 9:40:01 AM

battier would be even more useless. Joel Anthony / Birdman and Norris Cole deserved more minutes.

6/7/2013 10:03:43 AM

Spurs in 6 looking good! Theyre so tough to beat at home

6/7/2013 4:36:53 PM

This thread hurts me.

6/7/2013 4:38:48 PM

Bosh is not going do a damn thing. lets stop talking about it until something happens.

I thought the Heat played awful last night (per usual) but at least their three pointer shooters were actually shooting. they spurs and heat both had strong first half and gave up too many points. the heat ran out of gas at the end

Spurs dont ever turn the ball over. hardly ever.

gameplay: let lebron do what he do and let the rest of team try to beat them.

I have the spurs in 5.

it horrifying that Game 2 is a must win. this 2-3-2 structure is awful

6/7/2013 4:55:40 PM

Anyone notices that it's the foreign big 3 vs natural-born big 3?

6/7/2013 5:00:13 PM

Plus veterans vs young talents.

6/7/2013 5:39:46 PM

Wade is a few months older than Parker

6/7/2013 5:43:16 PM

oh, it's another shoot post

6/7/2013 5:44:51 PM

^^ The average age is 35 vs 29

6/7/2013 6:51:42 PM

The spurs best two players are American. Kawhi has carried this team throughout the playoffs

6/7/2013 7:23:14 PM

Better than the Dikembe was the star of that Philly team troll...

6/7/2013 7:28:52 PM

If you dont realize kawhi is the star of that team then you dont understand basketball. Hes already inarguably one of the elite players in the nba. Probably top 5 overall.


And dikembe is one of the best centers ever....

6/7/2013 7:36:30 PM

is Tony Parker a top-20 point guard?

6/7/2013 7:52:03 PM

Is this game really not till Sunday.
