NBA Finals G1 Miami Heat @ San Antonio Spurs - Thurs 9:00PM 

Post#1 » by ReturnofMVP3 » Sun Jun 1, 2014 4:47 am

AND1 ME!!!!

I find the term, "Sports Dynasty" to be greatly overused by modern day fans many championship caliber teams have no doubt deserved there rings but to call them a dynasty would mean they are on another level in contrast to the rest. In my eyes if any team in the current NBA was a dynasty it would be the San Antonio Spurs. Since 1999 the Spurs have won 4 rings with a very similar supporting cast with the help of the greatest PF of all time, one of the best SG ever, and a PG who almost any team in the modern NBA would want. Even with all the great talent the Spurs organization has always played collective team ball with little to no inside fights or struggles leak or hurt them. This I attribute to there HOF coach. Simply put with these reasons if any team in the league was a dynasty I would say it would be the Spurs, hell they almost put our younger and more talented team (on paper) away last year. I have nothing but respect for them (unlike the Pacers)

Once again it seems the Spurs and Heat have found there way to the finals, and for another year I am glad to say we get to play one of the best organizations in the world.

This does not mean I will be satisfied losing to any team and with that being said it is time to go to war and secure the third ring of the big 3 era!

May the best team win! Hopefully the Heat come out on top. I expect the Heat to pull it off and hope father time catches up to the Spurs. If somehow they fail to succeed, then I won't be too sad to see my team losing to a great classy organization like the Spurs. Heat in 6! Go Heat! Strive for greatness, LBJ! Must 3-peat!!!
Thanks for all the great memories, LeBron! The show must go on! #Heatnation

We've taken the exact path all the haters wanted us to (Nets then Pacers without HCA) and we haven't disappointed yet. One more hurdle remains. Lets not let up now. GO. HEAT.

Hopefully we can get an 80% of the 09 deadly 3-pt shooter Rashard Lewis for this series. Our players have to make them pay and hit their open shots. We're going up against the most disciplined team in the league, hopefully Chalmers and Cole will be composed in this series. I wish Chalmers and Cole had Battier's B-Ball IQ and composure, they'd be so much more effective for our team if they were to play at a more disciplined and calculated pace.

Wowww
1- let Duncan and Parker beat us but not their rule players !
2- please, defend the 3p line! No Green an Belinelli with 30 3's every game!
3- attack them! Wade and Lebron have to be in attack mod and not only taking jumpers and jumpers like the first 5 games of the last Finals! Duncan is old and he isn't Hibbert so attack and put them in foul trouble!
4- Bosh is the key! I was very happy seeing him attack West and Hibbert in the last 3 games vs Indiana and now he need to continue to do it with a 39 years Duncan!
5_ rebound the ball! Last year Finals, when we had rebounded well the ball we won!

This is it, the moment we as a community and fan base have all been waiting for all season, the NBA Finals. It has been a grit and grind season with a ton of trials and tribulations about Wade declining, Bosh going soft, Rashard Lewis, yadda yadda yadda... And just like that, we are 4 wins away from a 3-peat.

I just want to say no matter the outcome it has been a great season and an even BETTER post-season after sending Pierce and KG packing and then dismantling the Pacers in the ECF after all that talk. But in my heart a loss will simply not cut it even to a classy organization like the Spurs; I want LeBron to build on his legacy, Wade to collect his 4th, and Bosh his 3rd. I want Ray Allen to continue to show he made the right choice ditching Boston and coming to Miami. I want Oden, who has been down in the dumps in the playoff, to finally smile and hold up that Larry O'Brien trophy and get a ring before KD. GOD DAMMIT I JUST WANT IT ALL.

The Heat WILL win this series. And they will win in 6. Support the team no matter what happens.

Take this championship. As for the rest of them, GIVE THEM DEATH! Image/

Have to hit the open shots. As easy as it gets. They fear our penetration game, and they sag off. I have a feeling we'll be ready this time and will force them to adjust.

Also, Spo has to find the right match-ups on defense. Get Bron on Green or Parker, and keep Wade on Gino or Leonard. Stopping their penetration is also key, and we are much better equipped doing it this way. Bron doesn't like guarding those SF's who make quick decisions and have good first steps. On the contrary, he is great at pressuring shooters into dribbling, and stripping them of the ball. Same goes with point guards. He uses his length to disrupt them. Chalmers is best off guarding Green when he is on the floor. He has busy hands so he can bother him.
