says Timmy lol....
most unselfish player in history..."i'm just riding his coat tails"
Duncan's +/- was +9 too....when he came in when they got down in the second quarter he brought them back single handed. He hit that buzzer beater to end the half that gave them a huge lift going into the locker room...that tip in was huge too...
tony's no turnovers and only 2 PF is one of those stats you just gotta see to believe....what a performance out of the Spurs two superstars....
I love this team

1 swallow doesn't make a summer, or a porn film. Need the Spurs to do what the Bruins have done to the Pens.

I forget, but how may shots did the Heat take in the paint? It was really low!
Spurs know they will attack the goal more, they will make better adjustments game 2. They know how dangerous this heat team can be and cannot take off any games.
Looking over stats, Spurs played like crap, 4 TO's is what won the game for them IMO. To think this team played bad and still won...Oh my, I think heat will/could be done in 5. Praying here of course!
Just waiting for heat to drop the next one, then the media attack and players will start calling out each other, especially Bosh saying he's a soft and needs to play like a 4 not a 2! LOL!

spurs can play better - lebron will need to be more aggressive on offensive side of the ball and it will not be an easy task guarding parker on the other side of the ball.......tp is magician with that ball.

Duncan needs to go at lebron in the paint when he's down there....duncan kept passing it off....i mean it's non-selfish and perhaps the percentage play...but get the guy in foul trouble damn....Duncan's just the least selfish player in history

The Truth Is Out There
They played an incredible game considering they had been idle for close to 10 days, the only having 4 turnovers off such long rest is amazing. The no foul thing though is on the refs for sure.
Spurs did what they do, won a game without the wow factor. Heat can't afford to be inconsistent versus the most consistent team in the league.

spurs didn't play awful. They get a B for the game. Obviously turnovers they get an A+....offensively they get about a C....they missed a lot of open shots but there's a lot more to a game then that....
I think the sentiment behind the guy saying they played poorly is that their preparation was dummy proof. And that their turnovers were a product of their game plan and not their level of play. That may be true, but that's how they've continued to maintain that level of excellence over the past decade.

The Spurs can suck my manhood
I think that Spurs played pretty bad first half and even the missed three pointers - 5 - 6 attempts of really open looks - all huge shots that could have tied the game or given them the lead, were all shots that Spurs won't usually miss.
As far as 4 turnovers only - it's amazing stat, but Heat hardly tried any pressure on the ball - amazing fact, especially since TP is the only good ball handler in the starting unit and Spurs already had great stretches without turnover.
On top of that, Spurs are one of the best teams in the league as far as turnovers go...
