2013 NBA Finals thread: San Antonio Spurs vs. Miami Heat

I'm at work , hard to get a feel for the game just watching the score updates lol

How have the spurs come out?

The big 3 on or off?

How is miamis defense coping with spurs offense? How are they defending Parker?

Spurs came out sharp, even Popovich commented on it between quarters. They've missed some decent looks, especially Duncan.

Big 3 have played pretty well. Nothing terribly notable yet, aside from LeBron being pretty aggressive in attacking the basket.

Miami's D vs. San Antonio's Offense is really fun. Miami's mostly trapping Parker on the pick & roll, and Parker's finding the seams on the pressure release passes. Miami's rotations are crisp, and so are SA's passes.

Difference in the game right now is Miami's 3 point shooting, and SA isn't defending it particularly well.

Terrible job defending the 3 point line.

Parker looks so fast running around on offense. Cole will end up playing way more than Chalmers

Duncan Dutchman finally scores a basket

crazy how much the game changes when lebron goes out.

Duncan abusing Birdman.

I know he annoys people, but IMO SVG is the most spot on analyst in the game. Birdman's a decent shot blocker and brings energy, but he's a very poor post defender. I remember Gasol tearing him up in '09. Spurs gotta go to that over and over again if that's the matchup.

Cheers mate , I didn't think there was any way a team that experienced wouldn't be up and about and crisp for the first game of the finals. Makes these first two games even more important for Miami

The spurs seem to struggle when teams can hit the 3 big plus for Miami

Cole is gonna play alot more than people think if Parker gets loose on chalmers.

Wait I thought it was Jeff?? I love that dude, he cracks me up.

lol, ya Jeff.

Cole world

Well, Timmy definitely looks rusty.

I love me some Cole...bye bye Chalmers

If you have DVR, rewind it to that bounce pass Manu just threw. He sliced it like a golf shot so it would spin toward the outside. That s**t is incredible at that distance.

Wade found something.

Spurs just need to hang in there in these last 3 minutes.
