I'm not quite sure why it's so chic to hate LeBron, but it is possible to hate him and not be a raging moron by claiming things like Tony Parker was a better player than him tonight.

Lebron is going to have to impose his will on offense more in Game 2 for them to win this series. Especially with the stupid format they have for the Finals.

Talking about the majority of the team. Timmy was drafted 1.1, so he's the exception. Referring to Parker and Ginobili as nobodies was certainly tongue-in-cheek, even though they were late first and second-round picks respectively.

They will find a way to do it all day tomorrow, too.

This was a great team win by the Spurs tonight. They played the exact kind of basketball they needed to in order to win on the road. I was surprised to see they were such an underdog going in and I saw nothing that would change my mind that they will win this series.

Heat always seem to bounce back well from these type of games. I expect them to... but the Spurs are a machine. If the Heat blink at all the Spurs are going to do this again on Sunday. It's something to watch. It's probably a shame so many people don't like watching the Spurs play.

LeBron only averages 22.5 points per game in the Finals, his least of any round.

It was more of a commentary on how well the Spurs front office has functioned for the past 15-20 years. The Spurs have drafted the Admiral and Timmy at 1.1, but the bulk of their players have been late round picks and nobody FAs that have played incredibly well.

**dirk digler** · 06-06-2013, 09:43 PM

Parker was +9
Lebron was -3

FD · 06-06-2013, 09:43 PM

I'm starting to think it will take all 7 for the Heat this series.

Yeah, some people get really stupid when discussing LeBron and it isn't just on this board.

Tony Parker is a fantastic player that made some huge clutch shots down the stretch, but he didn't contribute anywhere near as much as LeBron did tonight.

Chiefs Pantalones · 06-06-2013, 09:44 PM

Saying LeBron was the best player on the court tonight is insane. Parker was downright phenomenal and clutch to boot.

O.city · 06-06-2013, 09:44 PM

Spo tried to squeeze time out of no Lebron or Wade and the heat got out of rhythm offensively and couldn't get it back.
