Also, to go into more detail, Chris Bosh was the face of the Toronto franchise for 7 years before he came to Miami. Someone like Ginobili may be able to claim at least part of the face of the Spurs franchise, but not in the same way Bosh can for Toronto, or in the same way Duncan can for the Spurs.

Part of Ginobli's greatness is tied to his ability to rise up and play his best in the playoffs. Hes certainly streaky, but i'd say hes hall of fame caliber, but is currently short on numbers. Tim Duncan will always be the face of the franchise til he retires. Bosh has a few more years to earn his credentials also in my eyes, but is certainly talented enough. I give the nod in coaching to Pop, which is why i believe it goes seven.

I agree with you about Ginobili playing out of his mind in the playoffs. Just in this past OKC series after Ibaka came back, Ginobili suddenly appeared from nowhere, like in game 3 when he made 6/9 on his threes including 5 in a row and one in particular from like 6 feet beyond the arc at the end of the first half-that was simply ridiculous.

F%^& the NBA they letting Lebron get away with files

[Soulflower]

Finally Lebron gets called on a file. I was getting worried.

The league needs to apologize for that miserable environment tonight. A 90 degree temperature for a game played indoors, is not something you should have to gameplan for. Regardless of who won-and that was a thoroughly entertaining game-I don't feel good about the outcome of that game given the temperature the players were forced to deal with.

I'm not saying call the game off, but the league definitely needs to apologize for this.


...And I hope the Heat have nightmares tonight about Danny Green in last year's finals and they come prepared the next game to deal with him.

CLOSE IT OUT First game

Heat 95- Spurs 110

Now I'm going to bed.... woooh my voice is horse. Yay Spurs

Lol. Look, I'm definetely not a bandwagon LeBron fan and the guy definetely gets away with all sorts of antics on the court that I don't think anybody should get away with (i.e. Flopping), but to be asked to be taken out of a game? What other time has he done that? Clearly, this was real.

I dont dissagree at all. But it doesnt change the fact that seeing him getting carried to his seat was hilarious. All I can now say is Jordan played with da fluuuuuuuu and balled hardddd. I just dont get how they didnt work out the air situation beforehand. Or have backups or something, i mean wtf.....?
