Posting this at the end of the 3rd quarter but I wanted to say this is maybe the most bizarre Finals game I've ever seen.

Duncan and Lebron have been HORRIBLE. Lebron's worst game of the year and Duncan's worst of the Finals I've ever seen.

TP and Wade and Bosh and Manu have been okay at times, bad others. The roles players like Green and Chalmers have been huge. Kawhi became Dennis Rodman. Mike Miller is Reggie Miller.

Spurs offensive rebounding offsetting their turnovers, which is nuts since they're one of the worst offensive rebounding team in NBA history. Down 10 going into the 4th and I have no idea what I'm watching or what will happen.

Like I said, bizarre game. Role players huge, stars bad, and ever stat has reversed itself, lol.

Well, that was a quick run by Lebron and the Heat.

See, Spoelstra not starting Lebron in the 4th in game 1 cost them that game. Still can't believe he did that.


This series should be fun.

edit: And lebron is back, holy f**k at that block. Unreal.

No shit that run was quick. I was doing a couple things around the house while the 3rd was going (paying half attention), and then I kind of looked up and saw the Heat were leading by 25 or something.

I kind of shook my head and thought "when the hell did that happen"? It was a really close game the last time I looked at it.

I'd say Mission Accomplished Spurs by taking one from the Heat at home though. They've never lost Game 1 in a Finals series.

[The Dude]

Well, to be fair, the Spurs only faced one other good Finals opponent before this year and it was at home (in fact, this is the only Finals they have started on the road). Those other series were formalities when the real title was decided by who came out West.

[The Dude]

Most bizarre Finals of all time.

neither Parker, Duncan, Lebron, Wade, Manu, Bosh, or Ray Allen have been one of the 3 best players so far.

My mind is full of f**k.

el oh el

I want to see Lebron's crocodile tears

[NAB]

As a hater of both teams watching from afar, could they please play a game that's close and interesting?

Blow-outs are only fun if your team is the one doing it.

[The Dude]

Seeing Lebron wilt again is fun, though.

he's not 2011 bad, but he's getting there.

His career finals average is now down to 43%. He's only played well versus OKC, too. Otherwise it's sub 40%. lol.
