San Antonio's offense is hitting it's zenith right now. Best I have ever seen for sure, doing anything that they want whenever they wanna do it. Hopefully the can blow them out big time, a nice 30 or 40 point win would be supreme.

So at one point do the Heat fans (and I use that term quite liberally) start leaving the building? They're already booing the team, and will probably start leaving before the 4th quarter starts if the Heat don't turn this around.

Well now all the fouls are starting to go the way of Miami, no surprise there.

The Spurs run such a beautifully coordinated offence.

I picked the Spurs to win in 5 but this is pretty surreal to watch. These last two games were pure massacres. The Heat never even got remotely challenged in the East and it shows.

Sooo Lebron is likely going to be 2-3 in the finals. Disappointing considering the hype?

He dragged a terrible team to the finals himself in Cleveland ... not sure how you can call that disappointing unless you're just trying to be a Lebron hater.

I don't hate Lebron but you can't deny that the hype that this Heat team has been getting since the big three form has been insane. They compared them to the 90's Bulls and last year some media members thought they would challenge the 72-10 record.

What Lebron did for Clevland was amazing no doubt by my comment was mostly based on his time with the Heat. I'd personally say his performance so far has been good but we all know the media and fans aren't going to give him any passes for losing this series.

well .. yeah hype. They've been to 4 finals in a row and won two of them, if they won a third would it not be justifiable to compare them to other three-peat teams?

That's seems like a no brainer to me. Just because some media members go crazy, doesn't mean a team that's won the East 4 years in a row isn't deserving of some hype.

While they made it to the finals for four straight, there will always be memories of them losing to a much weaker Mavs team and potentially this Spurs team. I don't think we can compare this team to some of the 3-peat teams of that time. 4 finals in a row means nothing when you've made it out of the Least

This team is very good, but I don't think they're on the level of the 2000-2002 Lakers or the 90's Bulls.

LeBron deserves little to no blame for this one. The Heat are very mediocre after him, basically the Cavs redux. But LeBron's legacy was very much saved by Ray Allen's 3 last year, otherwise he would be staring 1-4 in the Finals in the face. The Heat are in an interesting spot right now, with the Big 3 and how awful the East is there's nothing really stopping them from getting to another 2 or 3 Finals in a row. But Wade is falling apart and Bosh is Bosh so they will have some choices to make this offseason.

Speaking of very good, if the Spurs close this out that have to be right up there as one of the 10 greatest teams ever. The have won 11 of their 16 games by 15 or more points. Their last 12 wins are by the following margins:

23, 24, 17, 15, 22, 17, 35, 28, 5, 15, 19, 20

And the last 7 are against the teams considered the other of the top 3 teams in the league in OKC and Miami. They aren't just winning, they're dehumanizing teams.

There were some pretty savy coaching adjustments in there.

Bonner in to draw Ibaka out of the lane .....
Diaw in to make Miami play defence

So long as the Arrogant Heat lose it's all good. SA is showcasing what team play and structure is all about.

Refs making some phantom fouls so far. First Tony Parker was called foul on Ray Allen. He didn't even touch him. Then Lebron went for a layup and ref called foul on Ginobli. It wasn't even close.
