They were giving LeBron too much room on those jumpers. He hadn't been hitting them but tonight he was on and that was the ball game. Still if Battier hadn't gotten hot, the Spurs win. And how can you blame Ginobili at the end. It was desperation time, but I agree he was reckless. In the past, it used to pay off for him but he's not as fast as he used to be. Probably time for him to retire. Duncan should've gone stronger on that chippy and he at least would've gotten fouled and might've gotten a three-point play. That turned out to be the deciding play of the game. Parker didn't look like he was at full strength tonight.

Amen. I hate all bandwagoners of any team... trying to act the equal of those that have suffered through agonizing seasons, etc..

I can't wait to see this board explode with complete idiots when the Jazz become contenders. Hopefully mods declare open-season. (Not happening, know)

This ain't happening for a long time, hate to say it.

I saw a lot of playoff basketball over the past month or so... And we aren't even close to being at even a playoff level let alone contender.

We have no franchise player (Kanter is the closest thing we have). We have no coach. We need more athleticism. We have no bench. We have no PG (which is vast becoming the most important position in the game due to P&R).

The 2 most lacking? Coaching and toughness. Fan favorite Hayward lets JJ Barea and Delonte West kick his *** and bully him all over the place. To me, that is scary. Burks plays with a chip on his shoulder, Favors seems grumpy sometimes, and Kanter is a hard ***.

By far, our most precious player IMO is Kanter. He's the X-factor. He's the Tim Duncan/Big Z/Hibbert that we can build our offense around. Favors hasn't a clue offensively. If he can ever become Tyson Chandler then it'll be a success. Hayward, if he can be as good as Leonard will be awesome. And if Burks can become a contributor, then we'll be on our way.

We have 2 things... Size and 3 pt shooting. That is it.

We have a lot of work to do.

Depending on what we draft next year, we're a good 2-3 years away from just being a solid playoff team. Probably more than that to actually contend, depending on if we can get a franchise player in next year's draft...

Just look at how quickly Denver and GS folded and they are a good 2 years ahead of us in the rebuilding process. Although, I would say that Denver is taking a few steps backward with Karl gone, Galinari's injury, and AI opting out.

Since when LBJ does not play game the right way? We can all hate his "decision" and how it was delivered but when it comes to basketball he is one of all time greats. Same with Wade. He may have turned into a bit of a flopper with declining skills but I guess you do not remember him in 2006. I already explained why I lost respect for Allen and Battier was always a flopper with no talent. Fake "tough defender" who mastered flopping and occasional corner 3. Hated him in Houston, hate him now. Nothing changed.

Lebron does play the right way.....he's certainly a team player and uses his head most of the time! However, Allen and Battier are also "first class" ball players and both use their heads out there as well as anyone in the league! Would have loved to have either one or both of them on the Jazz when Stockton and Malone were around! They are both "Jazz" type players, don't ya think!? Battier does all the "dirty" work on defense and can hit that open 3 pointer! Sure he flops....but how else can you defend against the flagrant palming and traveling that the refs refuse to call?
 
Another reason why we should question the importance of NBA rings? Birdman just won a ring. Birdman.

Malone, Stockton, Ewing, Sir Charles, The Glove, Steve Nash, >>> Birdman
 
The Heat team is ridiculously stacked and deep. They were the better team tonight, and the Spurs gimmick of giving LeBron wide open jumpers completely backfired.

Also, I believe that every "Heat fan" were also "Bulls fans"in the 90's.

I really wanted the Spurs to win this one.
 
Other than "The Decision" I have no idea why anyone would hate Lebron. He's not a chucker. He's not selfish. He's not an offense only player. The dude is probably the most complete player in the history of the game.

The problem is, D-Wade is a dirty *** player. Battier is a pathetic flopper. Ray Allen is a pansie. Mike Miller is ugly as sin. Bosh is a wannabe. Chalm/Cole are riding coattails. And Birdman... Birdman.... **** you Birdman!

The problem is the entire Heat team and bandwagon fans.

In fact, Lebron and Haslem are about the only positives that team has to offer. And Spol. A former video guy turned coach. Nice to see a Joe Sixpack get a chance. Unlike Kidd, who no one knows if he can coach or not but gets jobs because he was a great player.

Pops made strategic moves I disagree with.

In defense of pop....

He had no one to go to at the SG position.

Green's brain was left in San Antonio still obsessed with breaking Ray Allen's record.

Manu should have retired 3 years ago.

Pops only had T-mac to go to for SG. And honestly... Could he have done any worse than Green or Manu?

The defensive gambles on Lebron really were dumb.
