“This is as good as it gets,” I like -3 1/2 for the opener with the Spurs at home.
The truth of it, If that predictable sort of production and efficiency came off as boring in previous NBA Finals wins over the Knicks, Nets, Pistons and Cavs, it could be reframed as epic against the Heat, a back-to-back title team. The glory of this NBA Finals rematch, is that the Heat and the Spurs are the best in the business, two groups of men more evolved in their self-discipline and their mastery of team concepts than all the rest. With the Spurs, on the other hand, it’s more widespread disinterest than disdain. There is no logic to that, of course, considering San Antonio won four NBA titles between 1999 and 2007 and nearly locked up a fifth a year ago despite the supposedly devastating challenges of age and injury. In a strange way, it took that seven-game loss to the Heat last summer to remind America of how long the Spurs have been on the championship chase, and how well they have held together. “This is as good as it gets,” The Spurs have been absolutely dominant at home, covering their last seven games at AT&T Center, none of which have even been close. In fact, San Antonio’s smallest margin of victory over those games is 17 points. I like -3 1/2 for the opener with the Spurs at home. Mr.Hårr¥THëHÄT
Neither team necessarily uses a center. Miami likely will fill this spot wth Rashard Lewis, Udonis Haslem or Shane Battier. Lewis seems like the best bet, but it is hard to see the Heat sticking with one starter the entire series. San Antonio has mostly gone with Tiago Splitter during the playoffs, but that means nothing. The Spurs could play forwards Matt Bonner or Boris Diaw. If either team gets substantial production out of this spot, it will make a huge difference.. Miami’s bench is basically down to three significant players Ray Allen, Chris Andersen and Cole. Andersen is the most valuable reserve on either team and has averaged 6.1 points, 6.1 rebounds and 1.2 blocks during the playoffs. Allen is at 9.1 points per game and has shot 38.1 percent from 3. Cole leads Miami in 3-point accuracy (42.4 percent). San Antonio is loaded with great pieces on the bench, and Green or Ginobili must be counted in this department. Diaw has been strong in the postseason, point guard Patty Mills rarely turns the ball over, and Marco Belinelli is a 41.4 percent 3-point shooter. Advantage in 1st game, Spurs at home will make a difference tonight -3 1/2 Spurs Mr.Hårr¥THëHÄT
