June 9, 201412 yr Unless something has changed if you sub a player out that should be shooting free throws he's out for the rest of the game. Are you saying that's an NBA rule?
June 9, 201412 yr Are you saying that's an NBA rule? I believe he is. Last I knew in the NBA, if an injured player didn't take his FTs, he was finished.
June 9, 201412 yr A few weeks back I think it was Roy Hibbert (against the Heat) was rocked and suffered a mild concussion. He had to shoot the FTs. He then went straight to the locker room for treatment.
June 9, 201412 yr Few thoughts... - I think the Spurs can win in Miami. Last season they split the first two games in Miami. Should have won game 6, and game 7 was in it until late in the 4th. Don't forget the Spurs had the best road record in the league by 5 games this season. Not banking on it, but if the Spurs lose it will not be because of the away environment affecting them. - If anyone watches the Spurs much - which is not many - there are times their offense will become stagnant, and that is typically when Parker just sits on the perimeter and pounds the ball running back and forth trying to get by guys. It just doesn't work, especially when you have LeBron guarding you. The offense moves better often with Ginobili running the point in these situations. - LeBron was a stud. He played phenomenal, working his game from the inside-out. He built up confidence inside and then went on one of those rare hot streaks he goes on from outside and it was curtains as far as trying to guard him. He was the sole reason they won last night. I thought he was defended soundly last night. - Has Leonard regressed from last season? He was great during the finals last season. - Splitter has the worst hands of anyone in the NBA. - Why is Ray Allen allowed to stiff arm everyone when he has the ball?
June 9, 201412 yr If the Heat had a decent (not great) Center and Point, they could possibly run off the next 3 or 4 titles.
June 9, 201412 yr If the Heat had a decent (not great) Center and Point, they could possibly run off the next 3 or 4 titles. LeBron is the PG of the Heat. Best in the league. Birdman is the Center that gives them the most consistent production. Ugliest in the league.
June 9, 201412 yr I think Lebron will get many more rings in his career, would love to see Duncan get one more and ride off into the sunset.
June 9, 201412 yr The only reason I'm watching this and want the Spurs to win is for Duncan and Ginobli to win one last one. Not many guys can say they won their last game in the Finals. I think that would be pretty cool. If the Spurs can split in Miami and come back to SA tied I like their chances.
June 9, 201412 yr Pocket change Agreed. He may try to get his money's worth in Miami. 5 flops is 25K. I'd have fined him 250K.
June 10, 201412 yr When LeBron plays like he did, I don't see anyone beating them. Biggest mistake they made was putting Boris Diaw on him and letting him get rolling. If anything, LeBron is streaky when it comes to making his shot, but once he gets going, he's impossible to guard. You just can't let him get the chance to go on a roll like that.
June 10, 201412 yr Wade flopped, but there are plenty of Spurs who wrote the book on that, so I don't feel sorry for them in the least. Chalmers pulled a punk move on Parker, but Parker kind of let him. Parker can be all snarky and fake tough in a press conference, but he let Mario Chalmers of all people take a shot at him and didn't retaliate. I think things like that set a tone for the rest of the series. C'mon Parker, I thought you were supposed to be tough... no gyms in Europe had A/C, so an elbow shouldn't bother you.

Retaliating would have been pretty stupid, especially in a close game.

I was wondering the same thing about Allen. He just shoves people out of his way...
