San Antonio Spurs – The Road to Redemption
Only Tim Duncan, Boris Diaw and Manu Ginobili played well for the San Antonio Spurs until everything changed in the final minutes of the fourth quarter in game 1. The rest of the team – from Danny Green to Tony Parker and Kawhi Leonard, were one big disappointment, finding it very difficult to make their game plan work against an excellent defense. Sometimes lady luck shines on those who deserve it.

Everything fell apart the moment LeBron James started cramping up. Maybe it was the rising temperature in the arena that caused all of this; maybe it was simply fatigue or bad luck.

NBA Finals – San Antonio Spurs Get Lucky, Miami Heat Crumble Late
The San Antonio Spurs seemed to handle extreme weather conditions better than others. It might also be the fact that the Miami Heat, the better team until LeBron James started suffering from cramps, fell apart without their star in the fourth quarter, losing 110-95 as the home team took a 1-0 in the NBA finals.

NBA Playoffs – LeBron James & The Miami Heat Aren’t Lucky, They’re Good
Teams take what they can in an attempt to create some sort of mental edge heading into a matchup, and the Miami Heat are trying to take the notion that they were lucky to win the NBA championship last season and turn it in their favor, trying to prove to everyone that being a good team with stars like LeBron James and Dwyane Wade brought them the title, not just that historic three-pointer by Ray Allen.

NBA Finals – Heat vs Spurs Game 1 Predictions
It’s been quite a while since we’ve had a rematch in the NBA finals, as the San Antonio Spurs, holding home court advantage this time, are hoping to get over the tragic ending of last year’s series and finish the job against the Miami Heat, although this rivalry isn’t bubbling with bad blood and hatred.

NBA Finals – Miami Heat Need a Better Dwyane Wade
The Dwyane Wade of these playoffs isn’t the one from the regular season or from last year’s postseason.

NBA Finals – Heat vs Spurs, a Long Awaited Rematch
If you believe Tim Duncan, the San Antonio Spurs really wanted a rematch in this year’s NBA finals. The Miami Heat? I’m not so sure this was the rival they were dreaming of, because of history and simply because the other option, the Oklahoma City Thunder, are a much better matchup for LeBron James and Dwyane Wade to handle.

NBA Playoffs – Oklahoma City Thunder Fall Short, San Antonio Spurs Finalists Again
For the first time in the Western Conference Finals, we got ourselves a close game, ending in another first – a road win. The San Antonio Spurs finished the job in six games with a 112-107 overtime win thanks to some great basketball from Tim Duncan in the clutch, Manu Ginobili hitting some big shots and Boris Diaw proving his value once more. Kevin Durant and Russell Westbrook gave it their best shot, but without a decent head coach, system or depth, there’s always going to be a ceiling on this team.

NBA Playoffs – Spurs vs Thunder Game 6 Predictions
It’s a whole new ball game as the saying goes. In a series that can be split into before and after the return of Serge Ibaka, we might be entering a new phase as the San Antonio Spurs take a one game lead to play on the road against the Oklahoma City Thunder, feeling they have that defense figured out, which means Kevin Durant and Russell Westbrook need to hope home court gives them enough of a boost in game 6.
