One thing to note is Horncats' bench is garbage, while Pacers have a capable bench (even though the stats say the opposite). | ||

Because focus has always been an issue for the Spurs... I think its hard to deny that they have been/are the most focused, intellectual, and cohesive team for quite some time. They just lack a LBJ/Durant level talent right now because Duncan is only DUNCAN in limited time. This team with a healthy 2007 Duncan would have won the last 2 titles with few issues. | ||

And that's not even giving due credit to Manu who is also past his prime or the fact that Tony Parker has been playing with injury issues for the latter half of the season. If San Antonio's big three were still in their prime and healthy the Spurs would be unstoppable. It's remarkable to even consider. | ||

I bet you didn't think "Mason Plumlee blocked LeBron's game-winning dunk attempt" would be the headline tonight. | ||

Duncan had to sit out 2000 playoffs with an injury, then there was the legitimate Shaq-Kobe Dynasty (which they legitimately upset in 2003) Since then, the "big 3" won in 2005, 2007, had a crazy 2006 (which I would have loved to see that Duncan-Shaq matchup). Since 07 I dont think the team has had its full cohort of healthy/in their prime players. | ||

Looking forward to seeing them in a playoff setting with Draymond at the PF though. | ||

Al Jefferson will not let it be a crushing. That man is a monster. Also, I will be watching every single game of the Warriors in the playoffs. That team is too much fun to skip out on in a series. | ||

You could've called a foul on Joe Johnson but it would've been a weak ass ticky tack foul that never gets called in the closing seconds of a ball game. Not to mention Plums got fouled like fucking hell on the possession before that, so it all evens out in the end even IF you wanted to call a foul on JJ. Heat got beat. | ||

Unsurprisingly Lebron ran around like a spoilt girl on a candy high. Refs will give him the call next time just to avoid the whine and theatrics. | ||
