Under the subject of washed up ... I think the years of playing for Argentina every summer has caught up to Manu Ginobili.
Saw some nice highlights of bosh from the last game that made him seem like a top level player.
Then I saw this one.

Saw on the news that a little kid who was the subject of racial taunts sing the American National Anthem at the game last night. Did a fantastic job as well. You go kid.
Well this is it. Whoever wins game 5 takes the series. I think the Spurs could have actually won game 4, but all the rest they needed to give Parker gave Miami a lot of points and possessions.
This is a great series. Spurs need Tony Parker at 100%.

he played well last night but there was no defence from either Bosh or CHalmers/Cole ..and Ginobili was back to the Manu we all know...Guess somebody better tell Wade he's supposed to be washed up. He didn't seem to get the memo for game four.
Green and Manu needs to step-up again for game 6. Gary Neal is always dangerous but I don't think he will be able to pull that magic again. TParker And TDuncan will be their normal self. It's pretty clear what Spurs are doing. Let Lebron and Wade do their thing and make everyone else irrelevant. The only way miami can make this a game is when they let the other players (allen, Chalmers) contribute.
Pace is one of the keys to me. SA pushed the ball off of makes & misses in game 5. The fact that MIA didn't shoot the ball well also allowed SA to score in transition more often. Big 3 didn't really have the impact defensively in game 5 that they did in game 4. SA did commit a lot of turnovers in game 5 but most were of the dead-ball variety so they didn't lead to run-outs for MIA. Of all the role players for SA I figured KAwhi Leonard would have the biggest impact on this series and he has played well especially defensively in games 1,2, 3 in particular but Danny Green has not only impressed me with his 3 point shooting but also his movement without the basketball and his transition defense has been equally impressive. Green has made numerous good plays in defensive transition.Green and Manu needs to step-up again for game 6. Gary Neal is always dangerous but I don't think he will be able to pull that magic again.

It wasn't so long ago that the Heat were down 3 games to 2 ie 2012 Conference Finals against Celtics and then went on to beat the Celtics 98-79 and 101-88 . This secoond gear or being able to put it into Turbo that the Heat are able to do worries me as someone who wants the Spurs to win ..
So far I love the way Spurs play Lebron & Wade. They go under on screens and not chase them around. Forcing Lebron & Wade (seriously how many jumpshots can they make?) to take jumpshots. Both stars have good touchs from perimeter but at the end of the day. They are not KD or Dirk. Wade is at his best when driving to the hoop. And seriously...who can defend TParker. Cole and Chalmers simply can't.
"He has a knack for shooting, but he won't be open tonight," Bosh said Tuesday. "We'll see how he shoots with somebody always on him."
Wow with a Spurs team which has Parker , Duncan and Ginobili and these guys are going to key on Green ? Bosh it's time to stop talking a good game and start playing one ..

Manu playing healthy...Green is probably the 4th guy you key on. The reason he gets open is because Bosh can't handle Tim by himself. Nobody can guard TParker Or Manu one on one."He has a knack for shooting, but he won't be open tonight," Bosh said Tuesday. "We'll see how he shoots with somebody always on him."

Ya! I saw that flop. Cheapass play by Bosh. Glad refs didn't buy it.And Bosh is in flop mode.
Looks like Parker just woke up.
Damm that was one of the most amazing games I have ever watched in a long long time !!Damn! Refs made it a game 7. Should have been a foul on ginobli at the end of the game.
Very entertaining game, but the Spurs let that game slip, up by 5 with 28 seconds to go and then Ray Allen ties it to go into OT?
I'm disappointed in the Spurs.
I'm disappointed in the Spurs.
I agree, except for the outcome.Damm that was one of the most amazing games I have ever watched in a long long time !!
With 3 or 4 minutes to go in the 4th the commentators said it would come down to free-throws. They got it right this game.
