    Spurs
    Thunder
    Clippers

    Lack of any true competition for Miami is making them worse.

    This San Antonio team is the best TEAM I've seen play. And they play as a team on both ends. Pops obviously a HOF coach. Bi've never seen a team blow out teams like the Spurs are doing.

    This series is officially over. SA is too good to lose this game. They're also way too good to lose 3 in a row. They're firing on all cylinders and relatively injury free.

    Only question is whether or not Pops and Duncan retire. I think they should. Or at least, I hope they do. What a fuggin run

    Not sure about that. Spurs are just a bad matchup for Miami.

    Heat would have beat either Clipps or OKC in 7 game series.

    But there is no doubt Heat didn't get tested in the regular season or the playoffs by playing weak competition.

    San Antonio really does play beautiful basketball.

    People say they're boring, but they're just so efficient, and always look to make that extra pass.

    Boris Diaw looks like Magic Johnson out there at times.

    It's because they don't have anyone as athletic and flashy as Lebron, but the way they, cut, shoot is just amazing.

    It really is.

    Unselfishness is a beautiful thing to watch.

    Gotta love em....Probably the most efficient squad I've ever seen

    Somehow the idiots will turn this on Lebron saying some BS like he doesn't have a killer instinct or some other arbitrary garbage

    That's really just insulting an amazing machine of a team that is the Spurs....Not one player in history could stop them the way they're playing right now

    Wonder if other teams will ever learn?

    The Spurs obviously play great team ball and could be considered a dynasty. When Jackson was coaching the Lakers and they ran the triangle, it was based on ball movement. They too could be considered a dynasty.

    I agree, iso ball is boring, lazy and selfish.

    They have lacked competition in the east for many years. Its clear they are not deep and they miss mike millers three pt shooting. Theyve had 4 straight runs to the finals thats adding another season to weary legs.

    and spurs are just better top to bottom

    Completely agree. I think LBJ had played well in every game. He just can't win this on his own.

    Hopefully Brooks is taking notes

    Jordan would in his prime. SA is a good team, and well coached. But the Bulls would beat them imo.

    The way the Spurs are playing this series.....No

    Like Kraken said, Lebron is playing very well but not one player can stop 10 deep that play team ball at its highest level

    The "Showtime" era Lakers vs this Spurs team would be fun to watch
