I think its pretty even for game 7 as far as pressure goes.

The heat had all the pressure in game 6. The spurs did not.

Been a heat fan i want to believe the spurs will be shocked in game 7 but i have my doubts.

Can they recover from a devastating loss in game 6 ? A game they had already won ?

I say no.

It will all be settled on thursday night!

Keys to the game:

1. The spurs are giving the heat offensive players space...Like the rest of the league gives rondo....Or more or less.....Rondo is terrible shooting the basketball......the heat players including the big 3 are not......

Ps. they need to shoot with confidence....What ever happens happens.......

2. Need to have the least turnovers possible.

3. Lebron wade and most of all bosh need to start the game hot offensively. If one of them goes off its over for the spurs.

4. Need to hit the 3s.......Insert miller........allen , battier and chalmers.............Hopefully miller can mirror last years performance from last years championship final game. If miller can come true then its a blowout.

5. Insert birdman and get the crowd going.

6. Finnally this is the last game play tough hard nosed defense from beginning until the end....I saw them turn it on last night at the end.....>Can they do it for a whole game? Probably not....But give it all you got.

PS2. Its do or die for both teams.

Can the heat take advantage of the crowd and playing at home?

We'll see!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!


GOOO HEAT.

It's funny because I think the Spurs would have lost against OKC had Westbrook been healthy and we would have beaten OKC in 5. It's all about matchups and we got dealt the toughest hand.

I guess we will never know but its a good point....


I think it would had been much easier against OKC.

They needed to get through Memphis first.

If the best team will win game 7 we would already know who won (us). We have the better team but they are making up for the talent difference with strategy, matchups and execution.

The best team doesn't always win, even if the chips are on the table. Green/Miller/Neal/Battier/Chalmers/Allen could have a huge shooting day that leads to blowout. Lebron/Wade/Parker/Ginobli could all have a horrible game with a lot of turnovers that kill their offenses.

Flukey things can happen in one game and either side can win even when one team is a lot better than the other. The Bobcats could beat the Heat in a game. In this case the gap isn't even that large.

Which is why when you are the better team you don't let it get to 7 games and let something flukey happen. We allowed the last series to go 7 games to an inferior team but we came through. Hopefully we can do that again.

Thats why coaching is so important. Sometimes coaching doesnt seem like much but IMO its 85 percent of the teams success.

I say we come out on fire tonight.........


Game 7.......NBA FINALS......HEAT - SPURS......2013................Its on!!!!!!!!!!!

GO HEAT.

The Heat need to be careful and not blow their wad early and get too emotional. I'm sure they'll come out firing, and the crowd will be super hyped, but you can't be all jumping and screaming and celebrating after every successful play. Save the intensity for playing.

they didn't do that last year even in game 5 against okc, I think they know not to do that after the Dallas series.

I think Game 5 against OKC is LeBron's best game of his career. It's not all about stats, but he showed supreme focus. When he just plays ball and cuts all the bullsh*t out, it's a pleasure to watch for all fans, whether Heat fans or not.

Its on only a few hours away and im glued to the tv like a moth to a flame........Im going to eat at 6 pm.....and do all my bathroom extra curricular activities before the game so i dont miss a beat...............Not even the commercials!

Go heat.

The spurs are getting railroaded tonight.

Cross your fingers.

85% ?

Why spend money on players, just get a great coach.

i dont agree

because if the referees continue their trend, we could lose a rigged game and still be the better team.

the heat have won the FT battle ONCE out of the past 14 playoff games.
