So if we can figure out some way to stop that Danny Green kid from hitting 5 wide open threes a game, we should win the next three fairly easily

Mike Miller shot 100% from downtown tonight. I like him. :)

Good Game, everything stepped up, James blew it out at the end.

Still need him to be forceful early on thoughl

Loool! Spurs can't miss from 3 and beat us on the offensive glass and still get run out of the building.

The game thread was a joke. Should never revisit it. More faith in Lebron should be expected from his own fanbase. Overall great TEAM win and am encouraged about the defense moving forward

GB bashing our fans for leaving the arena early. Feels good.

Can't stop now though, we need to take at least 1 game out there.

I thought it was a good pre-game adjustment to give different looks on defending the screen. Sometimes, it was a blitz. Sometimes, alternating between going over or under the screen. A slight move, but the Spurs will kill you for being predictable. Differing looks slowed their game down a little.

A good in-game adjustment was making a point of using LeBron as a primary screener after seeing how they were overplaying him. Really opened up things for other guys and helped lead to that avalanche where we buried them.

Game 3 is so huge. We need it.

If we can find out how to get LeBron going early on offense....We might win this in 5 or 6..

As GT3 said. Its about LeBron. Need him engaged and dominant. Spurs will be ready back at home.

LeBron's teammates did him a solid today (they owed it to him after all he's done this season)

Now we need him to carry this 2nd half (well...the last 14 mins..) over to game 3.

Good Win, Must Win..

The GOOD

Mario came out huge! Played aggressive, kept attacking the paint and made the most of the LeBron screens.

Bosh did exactly what was needed in first half getting a double double and playing closer to basket

Mike Miller & Ray Allen were hitting and were being aggressive..

The Bad

We need to find a way to get LeBron going earlier. First 3qt LeBron looked like LeChoke and wasn't doing anything. That was the first 3qt I've ever seen LeBron play

Defensive perimeter..We need to close out on there shooters as Danny Green went off

You think maybe he did that.on purpose?

I mean, since the fourth quarter is where this series is gonna be won and lost, u think maybe he was conserving until the 4th?

Superb adjustments by Spo.

First of all, switching the pick and rolls. Seemed to have caught the Spurs off guard, and Parker really didn't get in the lane much at all. Second, getting LeBron OFF the ball, and using him a screener really opened up the game. Great team victory.

Just hope this gets LeBron going in San Antonio.

I think it was all mental in my opinion, after seeing his teammates lighting it up, he fed off that and played his game and beasted it out
