Certainly this was one of the greatest, most intense games in NBA
Popovich is the best coach in the NBA and there is no one even a close 2nd but
How can Duncan be on the bench in the final 20 seconds with the Spurs clinging to a 3 point lead
How does Tony Parker watch the final minute of OT from the bench
Kawhi Leonard was sensational for the Spurs minus the one foul shot he missed down the stretch
The Heat was lucky to win but I do believe they might win easily on Thursday night.
The Birdman and Mike Miller brought tremendous energy to the court in the 4th quarter
My original prediction –The Heat in 7 with each team winning one on the road and I am sticking to it
Message to Mike Ricklen—LeBron has 18 points in the 4th quarter and OT—- not bad for someone you continue to criticize!!!!

I love Lebron, sorry. But he deserves criticism, being considered the King, and vanishing so often.
If you read what I said…he has tremendous talent and skills for a big man, but he dies not have the driveo or heart of Kobe and MJ.
Yes he had a great 4 th quarter in spite of some seld admitted critical turnovers.
But where the H was he in the critical 1st half, and previous 3 games?
I have been a supporter of his, and think he is smarter than the other 2 mentioned super stars. But he does fade from the spotlight generally.
Me thinks your singling me out has more to do with my perspectives on your beloved Turgeon and Garyland. As well as my contentions re Grevis being too slow to star in the NBA.
I love Grevis but am entitled to my opinions on his skills.
I wish Turgeon the best, but am just being real in my opinions of his performance as well.
It is all part of the sports world dialogue, which has afforded you this very entertaining blog and access to U of M events as a journalist.
And me as a fan.

let’s see what lebron has for game 4.
pop could have called a t.o. to get parker in the game but san ant. doesn’t do that. they prefer to play on in transisiton.
duncan wasn’t on floor because in that situation the spurs prefer to play a switching defense. and the other big question you didin’t mention. why was duncan and parker both on the bench at the start of the 4th q when the spurs had a 10 pt lead and a chance to extend. the spurs were using their regular rotation and that’s the time these 2 sit.
game 7. what does wade do? what does manu do? how well does s.a. shoot from the outside. do the heat play duncan with one man like game 6.
i predict, because i picked s.a. that the spurs rebound and win the series.
thousands of fans left early last night and many tried to get back in the arena and were not allowed. miami is one of the worst sports towns in america
