OT: NBA Finals Game 4 Open Thread
I know that the popularity of the NBA is not so high on this board. However tonights a big game involiving one of the most consistent small market teams of any league of all time. The Spurs look to go up 3-1 and put the Heat in a stranglehold. After tuesdays crazy barrage of 3's, I wouldn't put it past them. Miami needs a win here, and if they lose there's going to be a ton of LeBron talk. Should be a great game!
Miscellaneous stats going through today in the playoffs (all rounds):
Spurs:
Offensive rating: 109.5
Defensive rating: 99.1

Spurs have gotta finish these chances around the rim.
That's what she said.
That's what we said.
I am enjoying this series and I have to say people who are hating on the NBA right now aren't watching it.

You get 2 1/2 steps. That's how they've always called it. The half step to gather yourself doesn't count, and is part of the reason for so much confusion with the NBA rules. People counting 3 steps, but it's not traveling.
Well, Wade and Bosh finally decided to join the party. If they play like this the rest of the series, it's over.
He's 35 and all of those nagging injuries eventually add up.
Go Heat!
