Tony Parker is just... What an unbelievable shot. Can you imagine Spurs only had 4 TO in the whole game? If they can replicate that over the series they'll win.

They better pray to God that Tony Parker stays healthy.

Tony Parker is a beast. I still have the heat winning in 5 or 6.

Some of the Chelsea boys were at the game with the Spanish national team

I had money on the game going to OT if Parker's finger was just a fraction longer then it could have been a shot clock violation and would have allowed Lebron to drive to the hoop to take it to OT!!!

But it was well worth staying up for! what a great game!

I think Spurs will win it in 6 though.

George Karl and the Clippers would be very, very interesting.

Not a fan of either team but I'm routing for San Antonio. Miami are too mainstream for my taste.

Oh and, Tony Parker, take a f***ing bow!

Heat win Game 2

103 - 84.

Will be very interesting to see how the Heat play in San Antonio...

[The Skipper 20,593]

Absolute blow out. We got to see Spurs basketball in game 1 and today we saw Heat at their best.

Spurs can't afford to lose game 3. From 4 TOs to 17... Main reason they lost tonight. Gave away the ball too easily and Heat are the best team in the NBA on the fast break so...

Lebron's block on Splitter was just filthy though.

@Amels, where you find that at? Top Notch man, Duncan with the fro

What a gif.

Ginobili with hair...

Game 3 tonight,, i think it really comes down to turnovers for SA. That looks to be the most glaring stat from Game 1 to Game 2. However that's easier said than done, Miami have always had this extra gear which they always save for key games. Last year game Game 5 vs OKC, game 7 vs Indiana, Game 2 vs SA are a just a few that jump to mind. And if the role players (Mike Miller especially) continue hittin those shots, they could pull an upset and win game 3.

[Hutcho 8,443]

After the last performance I expect the Spurs to be a lot better, but still fancy the heat to win it.

[English Freak 456]

Neither team is shooting cleanly. Miller and Neal have done well for their respective teams off the bench today..

With a 15 point lead heading into 4th quarter..it should be a Spurs home victory.

[The Skipper 20,593]

I can't believe my eyes. Gary Neal?

[Blue-in-me-Veins 4,067]

I fell soooooo fuckin happy for Tracy Mcgrady right now. Has come off the bench and got 2 asts already, want him to score. What a player he was when he was healthy, think everybody wanted to be T-Mac growing up (bar injuries).

In other news, Gary Neal & Danny Green....... . Im honest, this shit only happens with the spurs, they were literally chucking up shots from half court and they still dropped. lmao.

[The Skipper 20,593]

This series has been about the role players so far. Danny Green has scored the most points collectively so far with 53 pts which is crazy.

Kawhi Leonard is really impressing me with how he's dealing with Lebron over the series. Developing into a nice little player.

Gary Neal though... I'm still shocked.

Miami NEED Game 4. Lebron needs to stop trying to be a playmaker because Miami need a scorer right now.
