The Spurs certainly don't look like a team that should have revenge in their eyes. They kinda look like a team just waiting to lose. No real emotion.
And Parker is not Parker. Yes, he has played OK, but we haven't really seen any of those wicked ankle-breaking cuts from him like last year. His pick and rolls are weak.
LeBron was out of his mind.

I didn't get a chance to watch last night's game live. About halfway through watching the replay. Enjoyable game so far.

Man was LeBron awesome last night! I'm so glad I'm not going to a game 3 with the Heat down 0-2.
So, this is a bit reductive, but through two games it seems pretty clear that when LeBron is on the floor the Heat are the better team. When he's on the bench the Spurs are the MUCH better team. Shocking analysis and so insightful, I know.
Hopefully Miami can take care of business at home.

I'm just hoping for a Game 7 and that both teams stay healthy. That would make for an enjoyable Finals for fans with no real rooting interest. (like me).

Yeah, same here. If the Spurs can steal a game in Miami this series will definitely go 7.

I predict the team that scores the most points emerges victorious this evening.

I kinda wonder how Pop is gonna counter the big man on Parker. I think it's a bit of an arbitration. Yeah, the strategy has worked, but if Parker was 100 percent, he'd be torching them. Maybe Manu gets put in the starting line-up and plays with Parker more to attack the basket and take advantage of one fewer "big" in the lane.

Believe it or not, that really wasn't the Spurs "A" game. Yes, they shot 75% in the first half, but their defense was actually pretty mediocre for much of the game (the Heat missed a few wide-open 3s that they were hitting in the first 2 games) and Parker still didn't look that great. Leonard was a monster and I'm happy to see him get the attention he deserves.
Also, pretty damn surprised that Miami came out so flat.

Other than the 22 that Wade scored... Did anyone other than Lebron play for the heat?
Lot more Balanced for the Spurs

Well that was predictably awful. The Marlins and Heat are now a combined 0-5 in championship games I've been to. (ECF, finals, World Series, and NLCS)

Have you reached the point where if someone called you up and offered you a free ticket to game six you'd turn it down?
