TxBoy85 197 Posted June 16, 2014 Share Posted June 16, 2014 Honorable mention to the Dallas Mavericks. Looks like the only team good enough to take the Spurs to 7. These playoffs simply confirmed that Pop and Carlisle are among the best coaches in the league. Oh yea. I mentioned it a few pages back but it gives me great pleasure Dallas (my team) took them to 7. I have nothing but the highest respect and admiration for the Spurs franchise and I love to see them embarrassing Miami. Quote Link to post Share on other sites

sya 744 Posted June 16, 2014 Share Posted June 16, 2014 I believe Spo is a very good coach and doesn't get enough credit because of the big 3, but man he has been absolutely schooled by Pops in this series. Pops has pressed all the right buttons in his rotation subs, Spo has failed to adjust. Unfortunately for Spo, I really felt that the key for him to put a good line-up out there was to bench d-wade and place a shooter in his position. Wade is eating up space inside, and his floaters are always contested and aren't falling. He rarely slashes strong anymore. His finishes are floaters instead of clear lay-ups. And for Spo, I think it's hard to bench Wade and he would have dealt with a huge backlash if he benched wade and they got blown out. Birdman, Bosh, LBJ, Allen, Battier / Rashard I feel would have been the best line-up esp in comeback situations because they need 3s. With LBJ handling PG duties Quote Link to post Share on other sites

sya 744 Posted June 16, 2014 Share Posted June 16, 2014 Why would you bench lebron with 6 mins left down 18 and the season hanging in the balance???? Quote Link to post Share on other sites
Doctor L 954 Posted June 16, 2014 Share Posted June 16, 2014 Why would you bench lebron with 6 mins left down 18 and the season hanging in the balance???? I think he's pretty much given up himself. He can stay in the game if he really wants to. I didn't see him put up any kind of fight. It's over. Quote Link to post Share on other sites
chicagowhitesox1173 138 Posted June 16, 2014 Share Posted June 16, 2014 That is odd that he came out with 6 minutes left. Skip Bayless is going to go nuts tomorrow. Quote Link to post Share on other sites
Gregory Polanco 352 Posted June 16, 2014 Share Posted June 16, 2014 "We're not going down. We're going to win this game tonight," Bosh said Sunday. "We're going to come. We prepare like we need to do. Plain and simple, we're going to win this game." And he backs it up with 13 points(on 14 shots) and 7 rebounds Quote Link to post Share on other sites
chicagowhitesox1173 138 Posted June 16, 2014 Share Posted June 16, 2014 What about Lebron James telling his teammates to follow his lead in his corny motivation speech before the game. Quote Link to post Share on other sites

tremixt 2,064 Posted June 16, 2014 Share Posted June 16, 2014 ADP predictions for Kawhi? I'm thinking he's firmly back in the top 20 in terms of preseason hype. Quote Link to post Share on other sites
sya 744 Posted June 16, 2014 Share Posted June 16, 2014 Been a while since you heard the crowd cheering the commish during the awarding ceremony. Silver seems to be a nice guy. Just one thing with his speech though, would it have been the same speech if Miami won it at their home floor? The greatest fans? That certainly doesn't apply for the heat. Also with Kawhi the MVP, you could see that the entire team are really genuinely happy for him. Even Parker, Manu, TD. I like Kobe, but you knew whenever Shaq held the MVP during their 3-peat, that Kobe wanted that award for himself 1 Quote Link to post Share on other sites
sya 744 Posted June 16, 2014 Share Posted June 16, 2014 ADP predictions for Kawhi? I'm thinking he's firmly back in the top 20 in terms of preseason hype. late round 2 or early round 3 latest. He will be overdrafted. Kawhi is great, but with the way the Spurs manage their guys, and Kawhi not being that assertive (just not his personality I think), he will be a better pick in roto than in H2H Quote Link to post Share on other sites
