Part of the absurdity of press conferences is that nobody is going to say anything of substance, especially in the middle of a series. Parker is not going to let on one iota exactly how healthy he is, other than to say he'll play. Although I say this as some information Spoelstra probably would not have wanted out leaks. Maybe that's the spotlight Pop was talking about.

So the Heat are going to start Bosh/Miller/James/Wade/Chalmers against Duncan/Splitter/Leonard/Green/Parker? That seems like it has bad defensive matchups no matter which you look at it. The last thing the Heat want to do is let the Spurs get their post games going. It could spread the floor, but the Spurs will give Miller his shots if it means staying put on Lebron. Getting Miller going is helpful but it's not the only piece of this puzzle and with a team like the Spurs, I don't feel like constant fiddling is helpful because the defensive confusion will be worse than any advantage they get on the offensive side.

Some of the questions these "journalists" ask are pretty fucking retarded.
"Can you talk about the urgency going into xy game"
"What's you're mindset for the upcoming game"
"Tell us a bit about how the xy teams defense is affecting you"
"Think about the Hornets 2 years ago.."
I love it when Pop puts some of these idiots in their place lol

"What's the temptation to mail in Game 4 and have Parker healthy for 5,6,7?"

Refs make the NBA almost unwatchable at times.


Hopefully this is a good close game with a spurs win.


Blowouts are fun and all, but I like to feel the tension of a close game.

Because the Ref Union runs the gambling ring and Stern is the man behind the curtain....jk?

Should be a good game tonight. Best game of series imo.

Heat haven't lost back to back in like 60 games or so, so if SA wins they deserve it. Heat at -1.5 last time I saw and if parker was healthier it would be even higher odds for the Spurs.

I expect a comeback from the LBJ and Heat though.

Hmm in SA though? I expect a closer game but I still give game 4 to SA because of home.
Most important game for the series, I think if Spurs win tonight, they go on to win the championship. If heat go on and win, well I think it's going to a game 7.

This definitely feels like a 7-game series. Hope Parker's okay.

A bit disappointing that hack-a-whoever wasn't mentioned. This requires a simple rule change that would improve the game a lot. If you hack-a-whoever you should give the hacked player one foul shot and then the ball back.

It's fair game to hack once said shitty FT shooter actually touches the ball, but fouling them at halfway is brutal on games. Nobody wants to see that in the NBA.

Agree, I hate the Hack strat, the player at least has to be touching the ball to be fouled. Case in point: Dwight's return game to Orlando was an absolute shit game to watch/attend because they were hacking at half time.
