Spurs need this to be at least a 20 point lead at halftime or it will feel like the Heat have momentum.

 

By the way ... the game slowed down and the Heat gained on the Spurs. Spurs must keep moving the ball and playing at a very fast pace.

Ginobli is like that cornerback who gets 2 interceptions and gives up 3 long TD receptions. He does a lot of good things but he is the achilles heel of the Spurs.

Mission accomplished for the Spurs at the end of the half. Snuffed out a Heat rally to go into the half with a 21 point lead.

Heat will make a run or two in the 2nd, but if they don't pick it up on defense, it's not going to matter.

It seemed like the Heat won the second quarter...but the spurs outscored them 30 - 25

Spurs are on pace to score 140 :lol2: I don't think they can do that but I'd love to see it.

Heat have it down to 13. The Spurs are looking tired. The ball has stopped moving. Players have stopped moving. If I am Popp I put fresh troops in and try to get the energy back.

Heat win the quarter by 10 to get it down to 11 heading into the 4th. Heat got it 7 at one point then Bellinelli hit a big 3 for the Spurs.

 

The first 4 minutes of the quarter are going to be huge.

I don't think it has anything to do with being tired, the Spurs just stopped passing the ball.

You have to think LeBron is about ready to go off and try to win this game by himself again. Ten point game with 9 minutes to go.

Last 2 possessions are the best offensive possessions of the half for the Spurs.

If the Spurs make their free throws the rest of this game, they should get the win.

A lot of Heat fans disguised as empty seats.

LeBron hasn't played hard in 10 minutes...

He sure didn't go after this game like he did the last one.
