Who going to guard Manu heat fans??

Wade, Cole, James, Chalmers, and Ray.

Depends on how they're running him off picks. One thing the Heat have to their advantage is versatility in their defenders.

How's Duncan/Splitter going to handle being taken out of the lane? What's Parker going to do when Spo goes big with Wade at the 1?

Lot's of interesting cross-matches that could happen if that matchup does appear in the Finals.

SA back in the #Finals. Salute!

SA has every matchup advantage except LeBron. Only God can stop him.

I don't care how many games it takes us to beat MIA, I just hope we win...

PO

How did this dude Danny green go from dancing on unc's bench.. Whatever happened in Cleveland..

To being a valuable role player for the spurs..





Also, where was THIS zbo in the series against us.. Patrick Beverley, I hate thee

Huh??? He started on their championship team with pretty much the same role he has now

Who going to guard Manu heat fans??

he is the x factor. dude has been turrible most of the playoffs. his shot is completely off, but he still brings the other stuff (passing, penetration, etc).
pop sitting back and game planning

Who going to guard Manu heat fans??

Wade??

Wade can lock up Manu but the spurs score with everybody

Who going to guard Manu heat fans??

Manu has scored single digits in nearly half of the games San Antonio has played thus far.

If they get past Indy, Wade is more than enough.

Tony is the real issue. They don't have anyone like Sefolosha to guard him for the whole game. They'll probably take a note out of the Thunder's book & just switch all the pick & rolls.

 

[sooperhooper]

If the heat were to advance, I hope the spurs sweep them.

I picked the Pacers to win it all months ago tho, so I'm sticking with that.

 

[licensed to ball]

Tony Parker has been playing at an insane level all year long. And with a hurt ankle. :x

Give the man his Finals MVP award if they win the Chip.

Easy. Parker will guard the 2. I assume it will be Ray Allen if Wade play the 1. Ray Allen is washed. He's not going to take Parker off the dribble nor posting up anybody.

Manu or Green can guard Wade. Kawhi on Lebron. Parker on Ray Allen.

And don't forget Tmac. He's 6'10 and will come to torch Shane Battier or Mike Miller

Thats y they have tmac on the team to run point if the heat plays big.

Manu plays for what the team needs he doesn't need to be a volume scorer for the spur to win unless asked to.

i think tmac might actually get some burn in the finals. if splitter struggles, wouldnt surprise me if he is on bosh at times.

They don't ask him to cause he can't do that consistently anymore.

 

[imlive365]

It's gonna be a complete different wade come finals time. Just watch

Hmmmm...........I swear I've heard this quote before. It was about another team. I think their colors are blue and yellow. Maybe gold. The name escapes me.

 

[suberzat1]

Its the finals Manu will show up

 

[Ja's 2¢]

Congrats to the Spurs. Hope to see T-Mac get some minutes.

 

[49erholic]

Spurs easiest road to the finals

 

[buc em]

If T-Mac turns out to be the Spurs secret weapon against the Heat

 

[scotthallwithapick]

You guys have wide imaginations

 

[rrlegend]

If T-Mac turns out to be the Spurs secret weapon against the Heat

t-mac body might spontaneous combust when he puts his jersey on with the finals patch. i wonder how espn feels about there conference finals games seeing as they got the west and it was a sweep 

 

[noblekane]

Spurs cant beat us. Remember its a 5 on 8 out there?

i hope so

Lebron needs that revenge on the spurs and pop

Its like the spurs were the bullies and picked on poor young lebron the last finals they matched up when he was on the cavs.

now lebron coming back with help and a stacked team of his own

as for the grizzlies :x I thought the lakers had a hard time scoring without the team having nash, kobe,artest, and blake.

grizzlies man oh man got tossed up with a healthy squad

never thought id be truly supporting the heat or that pedophile birdman but the spurs gotta go

 

[noblekane]

If T-Mac turns out to be the Spurs secret weapon against the Heat

team deny tmac a ring

 

[rrlegend]

Rudy gay is smiling somewhere

 

[hood17]

Lebron needs to play the post a lot more now. Get this Pacers series out of the way and then continue with the Spurs.

From a media point this will be fun. The great Pop may get out coached by Filipino Jackson. And they'll start questioning everything to make this Finals more exciting
