How bad has wade been, never seen him play so poorly!

Wade has been so lazy.

All he does is whine about not getting a call and not get back on defense

Huge 3rd by the Spurs to hang onto that lead.

Don't think I've ever seen a team look so damn depressed on court for an entire game

Patty Mills and Boris Diaw have both been huge.

Mario Chalmers has being terrible.

Spurs have been playing terrific offense, but Spoelstra's coaching changes probably didn't help.

Last year they were a real gritty defensive team with Haslem, Battier and Andersen lodging solid minutes.

This year, they have opted for a more offensively-styled lineup with Lewis starting (who is out of his depth defensively) and Bosh playing more at the 5. They have tried to stretch their offensive sets.

Why Battier hasn't played more, given his experience and defensive prowess, is behind me.

To be fair, no lead is ever really safe in the 4th against the Heat.

Kawai Leondard dominating as great to see, (even though im a Heat/LeBron & Wade fan!) i have rated him ahead of Paul George the last few years and to me he is the 3rd best SF behind LeBron and KD, watch out NBA here comes KAWAI!!!

Scary thing is, imagine Kawhi was in a team like Minny/Milwaukee. He would have the green light and would probably be good for 20/10 a night.

Players that go to the Spurs have to sacrifice a lot of themselves early on (in terms of their own individual success).

What I love about Kawhi is that he just comes across as a winner.

Doesn't seem to care at all about points or putting up numbers.

Baynes on the score sheet!

exactly, i wouldnt be surprised if he has a Duncan like career, being a humble superstar that leads teams to titles or very close each year for the next 10 years, assuming the Spurs continue to be well coached and find the perfect players for there system.

A piece like Kawai is also attractive for other superstars to come and play with him, with his no fuss, no ego winning attitude and awesome play. I hope they get someone like Aldridge/Anthony Davis to replace Duncan when he retires and continue on winning!

Patty getting a lot of love on Twitter from all over, and is trending in Aus.

Spurs need to make sure they lock him down along with Leonard, could form a pretty potent combo.

MACDUB, completely agree on Battier. You just can't easily quantify the value you get from someone who plays D, makes the outside shot, doesn't turnover the ball and is a perfect teammate. Yet he played only garbage minutes in the last two blowouts.

He played 20ish MPG in the regular season and similar in the 4-1 series against Brooklyn.

Is it just me or have the last two games reminded you of the Cavs vs. Spurs Final Series of 2007.

The Heat have reminded me more and more of the Cavs of old.

Lebron doing all he can with limited to no support.

Spotted on r/NBA:

I haven't seen such a beautiful display of basketball since 2 days ago.

Khawai Leonard looks to be the MVP so far.

Spo has been completely out-coached by the greatest coach of the modern era. Pop is the MVP of this series.

I agree on the Battier and Haslem points. Why they aren't getting big minutes in this series is beyond me.

Also, with the Heat struggling to get a 2nd scorer going, why Beasley's instant offence isn't even on the active roster while Oden and Douglas are is even more bizarre. So many times in the 3 losses, I thought that Beas may have been handy.

Yea i agree Beasley could have been handy in a Lewis-ish cameo role, score a few points quickly.

I also think they have played Chalmers way too much for not alot of production, would rather give the bulk of his minutes to Battier, Cole and Haslem, all offer defense and could probably give as much offensively to Chalmers has anyway.

Im pretty certain the Spurs will win it in 5 now, if not im sure they will win, as i doubt they will lose 3 straight, especially with 2 at home.

Is this the perfect retirement party for Duncan and Pop or do people think they will go around again??

Well done to the Spurs, I was going for the Heat, but they have shown why they are the model franchise and just been way too good in this series, and how they recruit year after year while staying top 4-5 is amazing.

They converted George Hill (a solid back up) into Kahwai Leonard (future franchise player)!!! that alone makes them the best recruiters of the last few years imo, (let alone all the other amazing pick ups they have got).

Pop should keep going until he drops! And the way Timmy looks, he could keep going another 3 seasons. He is playing smaller minutes in the regular season, and is still being rested at crucial times in these finals, especially since the Spurs are blowing them out.

Yea i agree and hope they do continue a few more seasons!

Props to Mills & Baynes, I hope they get rings.

Duncan has a player option for next years contract and has until June 24th to notify the Spurs of his intention. Both tony Parker and Manu are signed for next season and both have said they will for sure be playing.Hopefully Duncan and Pop stick around one more season even if they collect their 5th Championship together, at least to provide for a smooth succession of the younger guys (and the new coaches) coming through.

Oden was signed primarily for the Indiana series which he didn't end up needing to be utilised for.
