Game three - Spurs
Game four - Spurs
Game five - Heat
Game six - Heat

I called the same thing. Spurs just need to win 1 of the 1st 2 games, which they did. Now they need to win 2 out of 3 of their home games. Miami will win game 6 and tie it up and Spurs take it in game 7. I don't expect Spurs to take game 2, but I wouldn't be surprised if they did. No team is better at capitalizing on a series lead than the Spurs. If Heat was facing Grizzlies they would have probably slacked off and not completed the Sweep. Spurs finished them off and took 9 days rest.

:woo1: I AM NOT ALONE! After game one, I can see the Spurs winning. I will be shocked if it doesn't go to game 7.

These kind of "predictions" are hilarious. You're right either way. Heat win - "I predicted them to win!" Spurs win - "Not surprised, I knew they would!"
I see so much of this here, lol.

Heat will win, but Spurs might win if Heat don't win.

Heat in 5 still. Heat played 3 1/2 quarters better than the Spurs.

I still can't get over this amazing play. Tony Parker outwitting LeBron and ducking under his arm.

 

[Danielson]

I think he took advantage of his aggressiveness. Although Parker is french, so maybe he is smarter?

 

[Dolph'sZiggler]

It was just instinct. It was amazing defense, he fell down, lost his dribble and was forced to make an amazing shot off the pivot. He happened to make it and it won them the game.

Game 2's key is simple: LeBron cannot be so fucking pass happy. I know he had a monster stat line but I can't stand seeing LBJ be as passive as he was in game 1. Yea, the Spurs were collapsing on his drives but he has to get more aggressive. He shot what like 4 FTs the entire game? Unacceptable. He needs more aggressive drives to the rack and the Heat are fine.

Phil picks Spurs.

 

[Dolph'sZiggler]

Phil picks Spurs.

Phil probably hasn't watched 4 games all year lol

Joey Crawford is the referee for Game 2.

Yeah, he needs to attack more. Especially in the 4th quarter.

Also, cool fact: Parker had 0 turnovers. Against one of the best defenses in the NBA.
