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

Heat fans are some of the worst in all sports. Its the only reason I'm going for the Spurs. I'm from FL, and I've never seen such a bandwagoning bunch of s**t fans in my life.

They show up to games an hour late and leave at the beginning of the 4th. They don't deserve the Heat and they don't deserve another championship.

Edit: Oh, and the chant at the end, fuggin priceless.

Fans in Miami left game 2 with 4 minutes left. Pathetic. They could learn a thing or two from the Spurs fans.

I've never been more proud of Spurs fans. They're usually so mild and restrained. It's a cheesy family atmosphere. This was great though; it was a taunt in the best possible way, not vulgar but funny and trollish.

I also just hate that song. It was annoying me in games 1 and 2.

It was hilarious when the Spurs fan started chanting it. I, personally don't mind the chant because it started during the 1st game of the season when Miami introduced it's players to that song. It's stuck since then. You can hear variations of it during soccer games...so it's hardly original but sort of unique to the NBA. I can completely understand why others find it annoying.

But yea, Spurs fans were great. Miami fans were great for 40 minutes and then left...and I was like WTF?!? That may be the last game of the season if Miami loses 3 straight in San Antonio and you're gonna leave early to beat the traffic?!? It was pretty sad. Fans in SA were everything you want from your fan base. It was great to watch even for me.

That kind of s**t makes me hope that Lebron will leave Miami and go to a team where fans love the game of basketball.

Seriously, folks. It was not a must win game for Miami. Spurs better have a good plan for Game 4 because Miami will be coming full speed all game.

Teams that win game 3 of the NBA Finals after the series is tied 1-1 go on to win the championship 92% of the time. Not a must win?

Those stats are always silly. Miami won game 3 against Dallas after the series was tied 1-1. I don't think it was must win for either team. What bugs me is, Miami played poor defense for majority of the 48 minutes. I don't even care about offense...the defense was the biggest problem. The kind of shots Spurs were gettin' from the get-go...Miami wasn't going to win even if they played well offensively.

Call it what you will, history says the Spurs are well beyond more than likely to win this series.

...which means nothing, as I gave you an example of that. Miami Heat was the first team in the history of the league to be down in 3 different series and went on to win it all. So, it doesn't really matter what the history says. Now, Spurs may very well go on to the win the title in 5...but history has little to do with it.

Right now, game 4 is probably a must win for Miami and if they do that - then game 5 becomes a must win for Spurs. It's a 7 game series...odds change rather fast.

Yeah, history doesn't matter. Miami never gets blown out and look what happened.

The "DJ" at their games is funny. It is a s**t fanbase.

Then root for the Spurs.

The Heat were 3-22 in SA going into game 3. If LeBron starts putting it up the Heat will go down. When the Heat post up DWade the offense stops. Their shooters have to be set up by LBJ's penetration. The Spurs know how to close out series, especially finals. The Heat have to have a good start or the game and series could slip away.

Hope the Spurs crush all hope for the Heat tonight. Very curious about the gaeplan for tonight and how MIA will react. I have a feeling MIA will charge full speed into the basket Derek Fisher style and force fouls to be called. That is closer to Lebron and Wades game than shooting a bunch of jump shots.

if the Spurs win tonight at home, this Championship is pretty much theirs

Why am I hearing all this, "Wade isn't healthy." "Wade is old." crap. The Spurs have been a primary example of those excuses throughot years AND even this year (Manu and now Tony with the hammy).

f**k the Heat's age/injury problems. If they were smart, they should have shot the damn wide open jumpers. It's not like they had to weave through defenders to get themselves open.

Well, it's reality. And Wade's jumper is worse than Bron's. He looks like s**t. But that doesn't take anything away from SA.

Reality is that Wade's age is not affecting him from hitting wide open jumpers the spurs are giving them.

If SA wins tonight, it's going 6

If MIA wins, the series is going 7 with the winner being a toss up.
