I could see this one going either way. If the Heatles play like they did against LA, it will be a tough win. The Spurs have been getting a lot of interior scoring from the likes of Parker and Ginobili, and if the Heat can shut that down, it will be a long night.

SA's 3-pt shooters need to be sharp in this one like they were last time around.

Meh, I don't envision the Spurs bringing much motivation into winning this game.

Signs that tell me they will be mailing this one in:

1. Already destroyed this team in SA when standings were tighter. This game doesn't mean as much for the Spurs.
2. Lead for HCA is huge and a loss doesn't hurt their chances here. Again see #1.
3. The Mavs are next up on the schedule after a long 3 days of rest.
4. The Heat NEED to win this game. A loss here really hurts their chances of grabbing the 2 seed for HCA in the 2nd round against Chicago.
5. Even though they continue to win, the Spurs have been slumming it against inferior competition lately.

No good reason for the Spurs not to go after this for a win. I think they will play to win and if it's close, will go after it.

They have a long rest till Dallas on Friday

Heat will definitely be inspired to win this one. Also would be a nice win for the Spurs but I'd rather have the victory on Friday against the Mavs if there was a choice. Maybe they will surprise and win both. Go Spurs Go!!

WTF does this mean?

are you talking record wise? the heat are slumping and overrated. but compared to other teams in the league, i'd hardly call them inferior.

and everyone has a worse record than the spurs. so who exactly are they not slumming it up to?

i thought only mavs fans made silly excuses to make losing a game seem not too bad

Miami is playing great D and the Spurs can't get to the foul line.

Amazing defense by Miami.

2:45 left in the first quarter and they haven't sent the Spurs to the line once.

Spurs not playing well. No 3 ball and they have had the looks.

The Spurs seem to need the 3-ball early. If they can get the other team scrambling, they do very well. If they can't get the long ball to go they struggle.

Also Richard Jefferson sucks.

Miami is playing amazing D right now.

From a 30-point victory to a 30-point defeat. Wow.

spurs had no motivation tonight. no real need to get this victory. not making excuses for them, but it's just facts. this team never seems to be able to focus unless something is on the line. they know the 1 seed is a lock and they know they beat this team by 30 last week.

Again, I called it.

And to simplegay, I meant that they've been playing sloppy lately against teams they have no business losing to (Detroit, Sacramento, Houston, etc.). When you play sloppy against those teams, you can't expect to go on the road and beat a good team who is desperate for a win.

I agree. The Spurs have not played well since the last few games before the All-Star break.

Want to make a 2:1 bet?

I'll send you $200 if the Spurs don't make the WCF.

You send me $100 if they do make the WCF.

I've asked you to put money on these sort of statements so many times, and every single time you ignore it.

$300 says Spurs get out of the first round.

That is because he is the board's biggest doofuse and basis his "success" on how a basketball franchise in Los Angeles (where he has never lived) performas.
