And Parker should be able to go past both of them with his quickness and ability to use the pick and roll to its fullest.
But I have faith in him, he will come back fierce as great guards do.

Actually watching it AGAIN, the first one is 100% intentional, Ibaka should have been hit with a tech if not a tech 2 and suspended a game. The second time, I saw it, I was more the impression that it was accidental because Perkins hits him in the arm and forces his fist forward.Originally Posted by Jdm94Coupe

But on the second one, watch how far he extended his arm after he was SLIGHTLY pushed from the back. How many times have you played basketball, if you get pushed in the back that's not the reaction you make. It was just as intentional as the first in my eyes. And it just so happens to be against the same person, very unlikely they both aren't intentional.
But the NBA has its favorites, and favorite teams. He should've been suspended for game 5.
But oh well I guess......
I think it was planned by both Ibaka AND Perkins, they immediately took Blake out of that game too. But that's what happens with him. Probably the next thing in his game he will work on.
Anyway, who takes game 3? I'm going to twin peaks if you'll wanna come too.....
Game 3
Tony Parker turns up for 30+
Spurs win a nail biter
Spurs 105 Heat 103
I say heat 101 spurs 96
i say bosh/wade combine for 40 and james tosses in 25-30 himself.
I'm going other way. Heat win big 105 -90 .

Spurs look like nba jam tonight
Hold your horses
Great team win
Spurs should be up 3-0 right now.......
Spurs in 5.
Spurs will win game 4 before closing out a demoralized heat team in game 5
Yep it's over. The championship goes back west
Ehh I dont think so. Look at the boxscore. The Heat were CLEARLY gassed tonight, they looked lost on defense, no urgency, LBJ has 7 TO?
Despite all that Miami shot 52% from the field and 48% from 3 (same as SAS, 20 vs 21 attempts)
total FG attempts were almost tied 64SAS vs 62MIA
FTs +8 for the spurs
Pts in the paint and Rebs almost IDENTICAL.
Spurs will NOT shoot that way again. MIami wont look that flacid again. I expect Miami to win game 4. I thought they would have been charged up for tonight, but they werent. I also expect Cole to start over Chalmers.

Game 4
Both teams play like its game 7, but this time around the spurs tank is still full.
Spurs win a nail biter behind Parker and Leonard
Spurs 99 Heat 95
I just don't see LBJ going down 3-1. If anything I see it going back to SAS 2-2 and SAS closing game 6

I think the series is decided tonight. The longer this series goes, the more it will tilt to the heat. The spurs wont win a game 6 in miami and i dont think a game 7 is in thier best interest. They need to win tonight.......
And i think thats exactly what theyre gonna do.theyve got to keep thier foot on lebrons throat. Spurs win tonight and the dejected heat will not answer the bell
This. The Spurs know what to do now and how to shut the Heat down. I just hope they keep their 3 pointers on check.
I got free clear tails with my ride.....
If Spurs win tonight its over. For sure, without a doubt.

What's next? Spurs three peat?
Nah west is too competitive for that, and I Still dont think Miami is done.
Depends where Melo/LBJ land, and Love.

If the landscape stays the same, spurs repeat.
They made it very clear that theyre the class of the nba.
Who knows whats gonna happen tho.... lbj or melo to a team lije the bulls or clips would flip the script
Most dominant win in nba finals history?
What's your opinion on where those three will land?
What do you think? Spurs played three teams, think they will be better than ALL the other teams as well next year?
Obviously a lot depends on who matches up with who...... But you think the spurs can't be beat next year again?
I think the spurs youth have a lot of room to grow. The system is perfect. If the big 3 stay healthy, no reason to believe anything will be different. The spurs are the most cemented team in the league right now, only injury can derail them. The mixture of youth and experience on the spurs is potent.
On to the heat..... lebron is a smart guy, he knows that miami is out classed. Theyre big fish in a small pond in the east.... but theres 3-4 teams out west that would have beat them. Lebron has no loyalties to anyone but himself, if wade and bosh take paycuts enough for miami to land a pg, lbj stays. If not...... that ship sails. Lbj aint taking a pay cut and hes not gonna "run it back" with the same squad. This was the most dominant demolition in finals history. You either make changes or fold your hand.
Call me crazy......... i see lebron in chicago. Drose, noah, lbj...
Yes if Miami reups and stays in Miami untouched, Melo stays in Chicago. Spurs resign Mills/Diaw then I would say odds are on Spurs to repeat. Its the 1 thing they havent done.
My gut feeling:
2 BIG WHAT IF Scenarios:
Scenario 1:
Melo/LBJ Opt in. Wade is unwilling to take less money, Bosh is too, and LBJ cant be seen bolting because he lost in the finals, not yet. he opts in and gives it 1 more go , collects 20 million, hopes Riley can work some magic and Arison will go over the luxury tax. Melo stays in NY for 1 more year. They look toward 2015 .......
Scenario 2:
LBJ convinces Wade(with Riley) that hes not a 20 million dollar player anymore. Hes got to take a long term contract and restructure. LBJ Deserves 20 million, Wade at this point in his career does not. Bosh takes a pay cut as well. They do something like 18/14/10 or something of that nature for all three. They sign another 2-3 major pieces (Lowry, Gortat, Blatche, etc) and they compete.
Melo lands somewhere else. My guess would be Houston because they dont have to gut their team to get him. They can trade Parsons and Im sure NY would take back ASik and someone would take Lins expiring, maybe even NY to sell some tickets.
Bulls i think have ZERO shot at Melo.

The spurs beat Dallas in the first round (8th seed), Portland in the 2nd round, and OKC in the West Finals. Do you feel that no other team could've possibly beat them this season? How far do you think the entire west is behind them?
Golden State? Houston? Clippers? Memphis?
Me personally, I think it has to always be brought up that certain teams play certain teams well. I don't think houston has to necessarily bring a player like melo or lebron to push them over the top. and so forth for most of the Western conference teams.
The spurs are #1 right now and will be until somebody takes it from them. I agree, but I don't think its as cut and dry as you think. I'm not sure if they will be the #1 overall seed next year, that's been the most important part of their entire history of success in my opinion. I just don't think other teams in the WEST are as far behind as you may think..... miami obviously is, but then again they had the 4th best record in the NBA.
No, Spurs over Cleveland in 2007. They played with Cleveland and not one second did anybody think they would ever get close, and they didn't.
Yea I'm going to call you crazy, lol. Going to Chicago, ummm NO!
Bosh would be great there though!!!!! In my opinion
I don't think the spurs have room to grow, they are as connected as a team, coaching staff, and organization as you can possibly be. They will stay idle, the rest of the West will try to get to a level to take it away from them and send Duncan on his way. (which won't ever be easy)
I think people are missing a big key. Going to houston doesn't make you the favorite in the WEST. You still have NO PG, NO leader, and play TERRIBLE defense as a team. I mean let's remember, they lost to Portland in the first round. Melo would give them what they already have, scoring. Not to mention he would be losing money to play with beverly and lin, not 2 PG's you would want to play with. Nobody wants lin's 15 million dollar contract. If wade isn't worth 20, what makes you think anybody wants lin's 15? And BTW, melo loves the big show, the big lights, houston is far from that....... but who knows, maybe they can convince him that they would be front runners to win it all. I still think they would be behind OKC, Spurs, and the clippers too.(we kill houston every time we play them, clean sweep) Dwight is a joke and harden hasn't guarded a player since they played kobe in the playoffs when he was in OKC.
I think the Bulls have the biggest chance other than the Knicks. With miami, houston, and the clippers being a long shot.
Now what about Love to GS, where does that take them?
And im interested in who doc is looking to acquire, now that granger, big baby, and collision will be opting out....... he knows something we don't. lol .......
Why do I have some feeling kobe isn't going to be a laker forever? Is it just me?
Melo's best chance to win a championship(s)......
1. clippers
2. bulls
3. miami
4. houston
5. knicks
and im sorry, depending on how ballmer feels after the sale goes through ......(hopefully in july) he should open up that fat wallet too!.... if brooklyn's owner doesn't mind going over the cap for a team we all knew had no shot to win a championship..... melo is a GREAT reason to go over.... plus im sure perkins/pierce/garnett/ or ray allen wouldn't mind playing for doc again for the cheap cheap, lol..... im sure one of them will be on the roster soon enough
Houston's best shot to win in my opinion would be to call BOSTON and acquire Rondo..... THEN you're cooking with HOT GREASE! lol
You dont think Leonard has room to grow? He looks like scottie pippen 2.0 to me and judging from his progression offensively thus far, he could develope into a serious iso threat. I personally dont see a ceiling for that kid.
I think out west its the spurs thunder and then everyone else. As is, no team outside of the thunder are on the spurs level. Thunder are coached too poorly to win a championship.
I think the spurs will be better next year than they were this year. I think they will be title favorites year round and repeat.
The rockets clips warriors and blazers are probably all 1 piece away from being major players, but its always easier said than done. The spurs werent created overnight.
If the heat stay as they are, theyre playing to hang eastern conf titles in the rafters. The heat were the 3rd-4th best team in the nba this year.
Leonard is GREAT and will continue to get better. I can't say the same for the rest of the entire team.
I think there were 4 clear cut title contenders this year.
Spurs
OKC
Clippers
Heat
All of which i think will get better and will continue to build.
Houston/Portland don't seem to be contenders to me.
golden state will be the only team i think that will be a contender for next years title.(if they get love) houston isnt ready yet......
