So, Spurs were four free throws away of going 3-0?

Game 3, A/C is working fine, LeBron has no cramps, Heat have blown everyone at home this postseason and Spurs come to town and don't give a f*** about anything and absolutely annihilates this team.

Again, why is this series going 7?

1. awfully biased to assume spurs would win g1 even if LeBron didn't leave. Miami sustained every spurs run, in that game and had the lead for most of the 2nd half. Momentum shifted once bron left.

2.g2 was similar to g1, Miami took every shot spurs gave them, sustained it and pulled the win out. yep, spurs missed 4 ft's, but check the ft edge for the spurs, they've been getting to the line more, so that's really on spurs underperforming.

3. I guess most see g3 as spurs playing how spurs play. They shot a ridiculously high rate, however if you dig deeper you see the ref crew was the biggest road ref crew in the league and spurs were getting quick whistles early, heat were getting nothing. Set the table early with a 13-4 ft advantadge in the 1stq, which had enough momentum shift for spurs to go on a run. Not gonna take anything away from how the players shot the ball, cause they did shoot well, however the advantadge was set early. Oh and after Miami cut the lead to 7, you know to make it look competitive, quick whistles all against Miami late 3rd, early 4th basically ensured spurs win.

most will not agree with what I wrote because it is a look deeper into the game and not one of just face value. To say spurs were just ft's away from being 3-0 is highly biased.

The missed free throws occurred with 6:00 left in the game so let's not over-emphasize the point. Duncan has an ugly free throw anyway....it amazes me that he makes over 60%. Making free throws is what winners do. Losers miss them. The Spurs missed and lost. It's part of the game.

Miami will win game 4....that's about a sure of a bet as there is. That leaves a three game series with two in S.A. It will be interesting.

HUH??????????????????

You look at a 7 game series line of -125/+115 and the perception is that the Spurs win in 4 or 5 games?????? The last time I thought I knew ANYTHING about gambling or PROBABILITY, I assumed a -125/+115 would result in true odds of -120 or roughly 53.4% chance of winning the series. So, before the series started Miami had a 46.6% chance of winning. This is as close to a coin-flip line that you can have, yet the result that YOU expect is 4-0 or 4-1.

You should really think about the stuff you post here as your ignorance shines in bright neon if you do not.

Based on the fact that you wrote what you wrote, I assume that you agree with the 4-0 or 4-1 "perception". Why else would you take the time to write that?

Bobmaloog said it best....the perception was Heat in 6 or Spurs in 7. The fact that you even took the time to type the post that 4-0 "perception" makes you look a little foolish.
