Just not hungry enough..

It's not just on them though, I couldn't name you a player who really played well tonight, maybe Lewis but that's about it.

Now who would have guessed that before this year's playoffs.

Anyway, everybody better bring it for the rest of the series. No more f*cking around.

I was very disappointed in LeBron in the 4th but he played really well in the 1st. I want him to come out with that sense of urgency and control the ball. Keep it from Rio at all cost and maybe even Wade if he's playing lazy. I seriously can't take Wade playing like that again on defense. Ray too

It was amazing that we even had a chance after the first 17 minutes, but the game was essentially then. Were we seriously going to stop them from making runs the rest if the way? Stop them from hitting a couple of threes? There's no coming back from 25 down against them. They were 19 of mother **** 21 at one point and 7-7 threes. NOTHING matters after that. James's and Shard's shooting gave the chance to make it a game in the first place . Without that, we're down 35 at the half.

Bingo!

The Spurs had a historically great first half. As in, literally one of the best first halves ever, in terms of efficiency. I'm not sure what the Heat were suppose to do at that point. As 623 pointed out, when they're shooting at 90% efficiency there's basically nothing you can do. It sort of reminds me of the beginning of last year's Finals, when Danny Green and Gary Neal were unconscious on 3-pointers. Weren't they shooting a combined 75% of or something through the first few games?

Despite that first half, the Heat cut the lead to 7 at one point in the late 3rd/early 4th. You don't mount that kind of comeback without being "hungry". I'm impressed that they hung in there and made a game out of it. Sure, it ended up being lopsided in the end, but they were back in it there for a while.

Game 3 was sort of an aberration, in the sense that the Spurs absolutely cannot repeat that first-half performance. It won't happen again, it was just one of those special nights that can't be duplicated. We'll take Game 4... no doubt about it.

It's a 2-1 series and they're talking about off-season trades and endorsement deals? GTFOH. They shouldn't be saying anything to the media right now.

sure there are things you could do like take the 7 footers off your bench and have them guard the paint. Then play man to man defense on their perimeter shooters. Spurs had more layups than I have ever seen. There was alot we could have done about that.
