During an appearance on 104.3 The Ticket’s “Hochman and Zaslow Show” Tuesday morning, Freezy explained how the NBA contacted him and told him that he would be arrested if he tried to attend Game 6 on Tuesday night. “They were sending me emails all week and kind threats but I was ignoring them,” he said. “Then I got emails and phone calls from their lawyers telling me I’m not allowed in the building for the next two games. So I’m like, ‘What violation did I (commit)’” Larry Brown Sports

According to Freezy, San Antonio Spurs Head coach Gregg Popovich asked that his crew not be allowed back because they were getting too rowdy in support of the Heat. “They were just telling me we had too much energy and the head coach complained about it,” Freezy claimed. “Them cats want an easy win. They ain’t used to that Miami Heat support right next to them in their ears.” Freezy was also asked to leave the arena by the Indiana Pacers during the Eastern Conference Finals, but he said the Pacers were more disrespectful about it than the Spurs. “The Spurs are just scared,” he explained. “They’re scared of the energy. The Pacers were disrespectful. The Spurs don’t want that building to erupt around them. What I do to cheer for my team is no different than what Spike Lee does in New York or Jack Nicholson does in LA.” Larry Brown Sports

You may remember courtside staple Freezy, manager of Miami rapper Flo Rida, from his Eastern Conference Finals ejection. Freezy got involved with the Indiana Pacers’ bench, and was quickly tossed. During an interview on 104.3 The Ticket today, Freezy claims the NBA contacted him after Spurs coach Gregg Popovich complained, and promised Freezy that if he tried to attend Game 6 or 7 of the NBA Finals, he’d be arrested.

The latest Nike LeBron X Low to surface is an interesting one, not only for its looks but the details. On the surface, the Nike LeBron X Low features a predominantly floral based pattern on the upper and even some detailing on the Black patent leather. It could be a nod to palm trees and South Beach, thus putting this colorway on par with those like the ‘Miami Nights’ Nike LeBron 8 Low and ‘LeBronold Palmer’ Nike LeBron 9 Low. But a further look at the sneaker may best describe what Nike had in plan for this colorway. A look at the insole of both sneakers reveals a “11-12, 12-13″ graphic in one foot and “2 Time Champion” in the other foot. Perhaps is this a bit of foreshadowing on Nike’s behalf? With the Miami Heat and San Antonio Spurs going head to head in Game 6 of the NBA Finals tonight, the result may let us know the fate of this colorway of the Nike LeBron X Low. Kix and the City

Spurs coach Gregg Popovich seems to have the edge when it comes to coaching adjustments in the series. After losing Game 4, Popovich responded by starting Manu Ginobili and was able to get more scoring and penetration in the lane by Parker and Ginobili, which led to open perimeter shots and left Miami's defense scrambling. "At this time we're going to make another adjustment," Wade said. "It's going to be very small. But that's not what's going to win the ballgame. Just like the adjustment they made with throwing more isolations at Tony Parker didn't necessarily win the ballgame, but it helped. It changed things. "So we have to go back (and) we have to make adjustments. But more so than that, it's a lot of mental mistakes we made (Sunday) night. If we make those mistakes in Game 6, it will be the same result. So we have to be more locked-in from start to finish." USA Today Sports

"If the Heat don’t win it, I think you could say they’re the best team not to," said Brooklyn guard Jerry Stackhouse, who played with Miami the first part of the 2010-11 season when the Big Three of LeBron James, Dwyane Wade and Chris Bosh had just joined forces. "Just with how dominant they were in the regular season and coming off a championship." FOXSports Florida

Jones, though, said you can count him in for the $1.5 million option he holds for next season. "I'll be here next year barring anything crazy," said the University of Miami product and Southwest Ranches resident. "It's Miami or bust. This is a special team. This is a special window, and we have a chance to do something special next year." South Florida Sun-Sentinel

Allen has been largely mum on the issue of his $3.2 million 2013-14 option, at a stage where a second NBA title could either sate or rejuvenate. As for Lewis, there have been reports that he already has committed to his $1.4 million 2013-14 option. He said, however, that is not the case. "I haven't agreed to anything," he said. "I have no idea. The focus is on this year. I haven't even talked to my agent." South Florida Sun-Sentinel

Cole's teammates rave about his poise at such a young age, along with his leadership, speed and defense. Those traits have helped him earn a major role on a team that knows anything other than a championship is a failure. They've also made him one of the more intriguing young players in the league. Cole is under contract through 2013-14 with the Heat having a team option for the 2014-15 season, but after that he will be eligible for free agency. When looking that far down the line, Cole mentions becoming an All-Star and continuing to win at a high rate amongst his goals. Ideally, he won't have to move to accomplish them. USA Today Sports

In a lighter moment earlier in the NBA Finals, Shane Battier contemplated a question and answered the way only he can. Why can't the Miami Heat carry any edge, any momentum gained from a victory in one game into the following game? "That is a question to ask Sigmund Freud," the Heat forward said. It's not quite time to bring in the psychoanalysis. But it's close. The Heat have alternated wins and losses in 12 consecutive games, and the latest — a 114-104 loss to the San Antonio Spurs in Game 5 of the Finals on Sunday — puts them in a dire situation.

During the regular season, Miami only allowed more than 110 points a game three times in non-overtime games. It didn't happen once from Feb. 26 until the start of the Finals, and the Spurs have dropped 113 and 114 on the Heat in two of the past three games. "It's pretty obvious that we didn't give that same defensive effort that we had in Game 4, and they picked us apart," Heat forward Chris Bosh said. "We didn't have the same effort from the get-go, and we waited until we were down double-digits to respond, and on the road you can't do that. From here on out, we can't continue to shoot ourselves in the foot like that." USA Today Sports

Green hit six three-pointers in San Antonio’s 114-104 victory over Miami on Sunday, helping to deliver a 3-2 series lead as the teams head back to South Florida for Game 6 on Tuesday. His remarkable three-point run now includes 25 makes through the first five games, already an NBA record. He’s currently shooting an unconscious 25-for-38 (65.8) percent from deep in the Finals, yet somehow still manages to find sufficient daylight to launch. “I can’t believe he’s still open at this moment in the series,” Spurs guard Tony Parker declared after Game 5. “They are still trapping me and doubling [Tim Duncan], and Danny is wide open. He’s shooting the ball well. If you are going to leave Danny wide open, he’s going to make threes.” SI.com

Spoelstra said James' recall helps because ultimately it's attention to detail that helps a team win. "That's how coaches are," Spoelstra said. "We remember details and we want to emphasize those details. And when your best player recalls the minor things and also understands the importance of those things, it has a big impact on our team." James looks at his ability in two ways. "Sometimes it works great, sometimes it doesn't," he said. "Sometimes it can cloud my mind too much and I get to thinking about the game too much instead of just playing. Sometimes I'm able to put myself in situations that are better for me and better for our team by knowing what happened before. "I guess it's a gift and a curse." USA Today Sports

After a fantastic final-second layup by Tony Parker to close out the second quarter and send the Spurs into intermission with a 61-52 lead over the visiting Miami Heat in Sunday's pivotal Game 5, ABC's cameras found Duncan choosing to take a moment away from any halftime talk about adjustments and coverages to grab a seat out in the hallway and hang with his children, daughter Sydney and son Draven, whom you might remember from his refusal to give Dad a goodbye kiss during last year's Western Conference finals: Yahoo!

While there was excitement when he signed with the Miami Heat last July, Lewis wouldn’t necessarily say that he was relieved when he got dumped by two franchises – the Wizards and then New Orleans – in less two weeks last June. “I don’t think it’s ever a relief to be traded, or bought out,” Lewis said with a booming laugh. “But the relief was when Pat Riley called to recruit me to come down and play for them. I think more than anything my goal was to be on a team that was trying to compete for a championship. Obviously, Miami had just won it.” Washington Post
