The Official 2012-2013 NBA Season Finals (The 2013 NBA Champs The Miami Heat)

[ohhhla]

This what I can't stand, everybody making Popovich invincible, yeah he is 4-0 in The Finals but, even Phil Jackson loss in The Finals twice so, Pop can be beat and i think Miami will give him his first Finals loss. Just look at the teams San Antonio played in The Finals N.Y., New Jersey, Detroit and Cleveland and the only team that had them up against the ropes was The Pistons and had it not been for Robert Horry going off in Game 5 they could have loss that Title.

Game 5 and that's a fix.

Yea Popovich is a great coach, but its amazing how much people r hyping his impact.

They bout to play one of the greateat damn players to ever play the game. 'Pop' will not be lacing them up people.

Actually his impact will be evident because as you can see in the playoffs its all about match ups....ever wonder who analyzes match ups and develops game plans/strategy? How about scouting reports?

When it comes late game adjustments who makes those decisions is it the "greatest damn player in the game"?

How about drawing up a play with several seconds left in the quarter or a game winner?

Put that 2k controller down for a second and use some logic nigga.

This has been addressed:

Pop had them same 4 rings when they lost in the first round 2 out of the last 4 years.

Point is, the players will decide this series 85% of the way. That's how it always is and will always be.

If Lebron is Lebron, and Miami's supporting cast hits shots like they did in last year's Finals, Pop could have Phil Jackson and Red Aurebach as his assistants- It will not matter. It is a PLAYERS league.

But its amazing how ya'll arent even mentioning that Tony parker will need to dominate by causing havoc in the paint off the dribble, or how Duncan will need to dominate ala Hibbert...or how Ginobli will need to outplay Wade.

No...yall nggas are makin this to be the Heat vs Gregg Popovich. Aint no scheming for 6'8 270. Not this new version Lol Ask Doc Rivers, ask Tom Thibedeau. If the Spurs win, it will NOT be b/c of Popovich's coaching. It will come down to which players play best. Period.

ok since u wanna put it on players. the heat struggled with 1 slightly skilled 7'0 player in hibbert, the spurs have splitter and duncan. the heat had close games with a turnover prone team with very limited outside shooting and no real dribble penetration. the spurs excel in that category.

birdman is flatfooted on a pick and roll, splitter and duncan run it well. if they run bosh on pick and roll defense, splitter and duncan can post up.

the heat double teamed hibbert and were effective because the outside shooting was shakey and hes not that good at passing out the post. the spurs have outside shooters and pass very well out the post.the heat need to play like they did in game 7 for all the games to stand a chance.

remember how dallas cooked this same big 3 in the finals and barrea killed em? picture that a lil worse with tony parker

1)Hibbert is 7'2, 280...Chrs Bosh is 6'11 235, Birdman is 6'11 230. Perhaps his SIZE was what they struglded with rather than his actual skill???? Maybe??

2) Duncan is 250. There's a HUGE difference between a 60lb, 3 inch weight diff. and a 20 lb weight difference. Duncan will not dominate like Hibbert. The Heat will not double him, just like GS didnt

3)Not only did you just put Splitter in the same sentence with Duncan and Hibbert, you mentioned him more than once.

Splitter will barely play this series. *See Kendrick Perkins in 2012 Finals*. Any time Miami plays a team with a 4 or 5 man that isnt a real threat, they put Bron at the 4 and its a wrap. The great 'Pop' will blink first and take him out the rotation.

Dont worry, when the series is goin I WILL be sure to re-quote all this work ya'll gittin.

couple things wrong with your argument.

bron at the 4 works if the spurs would leave splitter on him. expect that to be leonard or green. there is no rule that says they have to guard who is guarding them.

not double teaming duncan is cool, but seriously you got birdman or bosh holding him 1 on 1?

spurs will take that match up.

yeah i said splitter. its easy to sleep on him, his move set is limited. but he knows how to pass and run a pick and roll and hes decent on the post with his mini hook shot.

please address the tony parker, jj barea comparison as well as the rebounding.

i'f i'm wrong feel free to shit on my post and quote it just the same

Couper Moorhead ‏@CoupNBA 3h

Pop may switch his team's focus in this series, but the Spurs traditionally do not chase offfensive boards. Only Boston had lower OReb %.

As for Parker, Cole can come in handy. I'm not saying he's going to stop him but he played him well in San Antonio a couple months ago. Lebron can get some minutes on him ala Derrick Rose from a couple years ago.

There are numerous reports out there that Floyd won about $6.49 mil.

That picture of that ticket is 100% confirmed fake tho.

What NBA have you been watching? 'Bron works at the 4 only if'???...Son Bron works at the 4 to the tune of 47 out of 50 wins or whatever it is Lmao smh

Yes UD starts, but when Miami goes small, the onus is on the other team to adjust or die.

Adjusting = let your big guy guard Battier (teams have done this since all battier does is shoot), or you take the guy out of the rotation. Simple. UNLESS you have size at both the 4 and 5 that can hurt Miami OFFENSIVELY. Indy did, most teams dont.

And if you think out-rebounding Miami will discourage them, their the last ranked rebounding team and STILL wins these games. SA is just as bad rebounding-wise as Miami. So please do tell, where is SA's advantage?

2011's loss was due to Bron mentally bein somewhere else, not Barea. Parker would need to avg at least 25 ppg to win this series. Totally doable, but-back to my original point-whether he does or doesnt wont have shyt to do with coaching. Its all on him. He's got as much pressure on his back this series as Lebron.

What else?

 

[usmarin3]

Shut down Parker and shut down the Spurs. Norris and Lebron will put the clamps I'm him. He getting that D Rose treatment

 

[kanggoodie]

i got the heat going no worse than 62-20

and somebody no-signed me on this.. smh

 

[Dr. Stitch]

Shut down Parker and shut down the Spurs. Norris and Lebron will put the clamps I'm him. He getting that D Rose treatment

Nah, two totally different teams...d rose WAS the bulls' offense, tp is vital but you silly if you think no one else on the spurs can light you up!

 

[Chi-Town Bully]

i got the heat going no worse than 62-20

and somebody no-signed me on this.. smh

im not a die hard fan of the heat.. but since the rockets havent did nothing worth talking about since t mac and yao ming i been rockin with the heat.. but like i said .. not a die hard fan...

Your opinion on the Heat don't matter, you're not a real fan

Where do the spurs rank in rebounding?

 

[Cutler 26 INT's LOL!]

Niggas gon have a million excuses when SA loses in 6.

 

[NothingButTheTruth]

Pop really has to show out for the Spurs to win. Dude better bring out all of his tricks or the Spurs are going to get embarrassed.

 

[DaBull]

Manu better play consistent good ball thats for sure or its a wrap for SA

 

[MR.CJ]

The x factor will be wade and manu

 

[Shizlansky]

Niggas acting like SA is a inside out team.

 

[woah316]

Pop really has to show out for the Spurs to win. Dude better bring out all of his tricks or the Spurs are going to get embarrassed.

We all know how the heat work... They turn up when backs up against the wall... This is how I see this series playing out:

Even though this game 7 was a blowout, it still took a lot out of the heat to get ready for it emotionally and mentally...

I see the spurs winning game 1 by around 10 points, after a lazy effort from the heat....

Then the heat will come back in game 2, ready to play much better, but pop will know this of course... And cuss his troops out and make sure they come with EXTREME intensity too..... Heat lose game 2 by 2 to 5 points....

Game 3 in san antonio, heat go all out (sorta like game 7 vs pacers), and win.... Spurs up 2 - 1

Game 4, heat come out hard again, but can't match mental intensity after previous game... Lose game 4 by 5 to 10 points..

Spurs are now up 3 - 1...

Game 5 in San antonio = toss up, with the heat going all out (elimination game), but San antonio also going all out, because they know it will be very difficult to win that final game in miami....

If spurs don't close it out in game 5, they close it out in game 6, winning in miami by 3 points or less.... Because them winning a game 7 in miami is pretty much impossible.... I'm convinced of that

 

[woah316]

like I said last year before OKC finals..... I knew the heat would win in 5 games, because of the 2 3 2 format..... I knew the heat wouldn't want to play games 6 and 7 on OKC's homecourt, too dangerous (impossible?)....

I see the same situation for San Antonio.... 2 3 2 format...

It'll be the most difficult game in history to beat miami in game 6 IN MIAMI ... Possible, but it'll be a 1 point win or something... Winning a game 7 in miami isn't even possible....

So the spurs have to finish this shit in 6 games or less (5 to be more realistic) and I'm sure Pop is telling them this.
