Paul Jones

Yep...I love the college kids but big men playing for a ring and $$$ is where its at baby!! What a ball game....#nbafinals

Tuesday, June 18

Ryan Wolstat

I know he's an icon, but, honestly, if Heat wants this one, he needs to be out.

Paul Jones

Walter Ray Allen....Bucket!!!!

Paul Jones

Gonna review the 3pt goal..if Popvich asked for a review to get a timeout that is really smart

Kevin Nielsen

I reserve the right to delete that last tweet.

Ryan Wolstat

The fans who left must be pissed. Good

Ryan Wolstat

Not two, not three, not four ... rewrites

Paul Jones

neither team with a timeout

Paul Jones

OK will Pop be talke about like Vogel..Duncan on the bench...no rebound and James knocks down a 3 off a scramble for off reb #nbafinals

Paul Jones

James with a couple of bad turnovers & Parker and Ginobili show up for the last 2:28 the have scored the last 8 pts in 8-0 run #nbafinals

Eric Smith

10:30 min of "OMG" for Miami...followed by 60-90 sec of "WTF"

Kevin Nielsen

Canadians about to get a ring: Cory Joseph and Matt Bonner.

Ryan Wolstat

Fans are leaving here. For real. These fans are turrible

Kevin Nielsen

Clutch close by the Heat here.

Paul Jones

Miami went to the Chalmers- James p/r and came up empty #nbafinals

Ryan Wolstat

Two re-writes, do I hear three ... ?

Paul Jones

Nothing like big men playing for the ring!!! NOTHING!!!!!! #nbafinals

Paul Jones

Duncan's back must be hurting from carrying the Spurs...Parker 4/16 & Ginobili 1/3 with 6 TO's...Spurs 4/15 fg in 4th...#nbafinals

Terrence Ross

Lol oh now it's my fault if the heat lose. Not Tim Duncan but my fault. That makes sense. Lol

Michael Grange

Maybe LeBron is the biggest point shaver in the history of man. It would explain a lot.

Terrence Ross

Lol haha ppl mad at me now...

Paul Jones

Miami outscoring SAS 19-7 in the qtr...this place is alive...#nbafinals

Terrence Ross

Lol ok so I said some things in my last few tweets, I mean I still think San Antonio is gonna win but this makes things very interesting

Paul Jones

7-0 run by the Heat to take the lead...Shooting 8/10 in qtr led by LBJ with 10 pts...#nbafinals

Paul Jones

Heat 6/8 this qtr

Paul Jones

James with 8 of Miami's 14 in the quarter...the last backdown there was no help...#fuggetaboutit in the lane with no help #nbafinals

Ryan Wolstat

The way Wade is (not) defending, Heat better off going with shooters.

Paul Jones

Heat going to the James Chalmers p/r and its working #nbafinals

Ryan Wolstat

Here comes the freight train.

Paul Jones

And oh ya...Tim Duncan willing his team tonight #nbafinals

Paul Jones

Heat like to talk about Pace and Space but not happening tonight...they have to be careful not to panic...need stops...SAS 50% fg #nbafinals

Ryan Wolstat

Points in the paint: 44-16. LeBron has 12 minutes to shut up the critics, maybe forever. Or else, it's going to be another long summer.

Michael Grange

I wonder how Michael Jordan would have fared being covered by Boris Diaw?

Tim Chisholm

James and Wade have decided to just stop running back on defence whenever they don’t get a call. Great Championship composure, that.

Terrence Ross

Danny green is about to check in, y'all need to guard him now..

Terrence Ross

Goodnight Miami...

Paul Jones

Spurs going for the knockout...#nbafinals...Heat on the ropes

Ryan Wolstat

Might enjoy watching Derrick Rose teleport around more than anything else in this league, but the LeBron freight train is pretty good too

Michael Grange

Why did you jump Mike Miller!!?

Ryan Wolstat

It's too bad the Heat probably force Game 7, because the Duncan story was really easy to write.

Michael Grange

Watching Finals on PVR is my own version of tape delay and another transparent effort to feel young again.

Michael Grange

Watching Game 6 on PVR. If you call I won't answer twitter.

Ryan Wolstat

Shaq should have been better, but doesn't have the longevity. Kobe wasn't best player on team all the time. LeBron has long way to go.

Terrence Ross

This is a great series...

Eric Koreen

If — IF — this continues, Bosh is going to be scapegoated, which will not be entirely fair.

Ryan Wolstat

There you go, Wilt would be the obvious one

Ryan Wolstat

MJ, Russell, Magic, Kareem, Bird, who else for sure do you have to put ahead of TD? Oscar? Zeke? West? (Probably forgetting someone obvious)

Ryan Wolstat

Spurs dominant in paint. Heat best when winning points in paint battle ... not done, but, that's very troubling Heat sign 10-0 when win pip

Ryan Wolstat

For all the belly-aching about LeBron and the Heat, only down six at half. That said, if Duncan closes it out, where is he on the pantheon?

Paul Jones

Boris Diaw...really?!! #nbafinals

Ryan Wolstat

King of the beignets!

Paul Jones

Manu in the bakery...#turnovers

Paul Jones

Birdman's block looked clean...even tho Duncan put him in jail behind the steel on the backdown for position #nbafinals

Paul Jones

Tim Duncan teaching video on that last off reb...ball never came down as bounded off the floor #skills

Paul Jones

I know young big men all wanna release the 6 footer in them but just watch Duncan on the block, classic big man moves & footwork #nbafinals

Paul Jones

Tim Duncan on Bosh last play @Shaquille O'Neal said it best #bbqchicken #nbafinals

Ryan Wolstat

Think we'll be seeing Timmy again soon. Heat victimizing Spurs off of dribble with him out.

Ryan Wolstat

You could hear nervous murmurring and shouts of "no" from the crowd here as Danny Green launched an open three

Doug Smith

#raptors blog: The Goods On The Game, Spurs at Heat bit.ly/15hWuAv

Paul Jones

Battier has hit the floor the last 3 trips...1 charge 1 no-call and 1 block #nbafinals...can we pls change the rule...please

Paul Jones

Battier scoring is huge for the #Heat He gives them the best defense of the "others" when he's knocking them down he can stay on the floor

Paul Jones

I really hate that charge call...New rule should be no charge on air born shooter in Lower Defensive Box...#weakcall

Terrence Ross

Who is gonna win? Miami? San Antonio? I hate to say it but I think the spurs are gonna take it...

Paul Jones

Tim Duncan looks like he smells the finish line tonight #nbafinals 10 pts early...

Payal Doshi

In the words of @Sherman Hamilton that was some serious disrespect! #spurs

Quincy Acy

Shhheeeeessssshhhhhh!!!

Ryan Wolstat

Tim Duncan adding to the Hall of Fame resume tonight.

Paul Jones

Chalmers off early and Miller aggressive...good sign for the Heat #nbafinals

Ryan Wolstat

I hope Flo-Rida doesn't get a halftime commercial

Eric Koreen

I will cautiously take the Heat tonight, with deference to alternating wins, home court and LeBron. But I think we're all a little clueless.

Ryan Wolstat

Just like with Bob Houbregs (techincally highest-drafted Canadian) I don't count Fox because he was barely in Canada. Is Nash South African?

Eric Koreen

Enjoy the game, y'all. Should be fun.

Ryan Wolstat

I don't count Rick Fox so, Cory Joseph has a chance to become first NBA champion born and raised in Greater Toronto Area.

Ryan Wolstat

Anybody remember the Bosh popping bottles gif? That was even better than Curry/Turiaf/Joel

Ryan Wolstat

Saddened that, whatever happens, there will be no sightings of Eddy Curry and Ronnie Turiaf popping bottles in the locker room like last yr

Ryan Wolstat

Could be the last time the Heat introduced as: "Your NBA champion Miami Heat"

Michael Grange

If Raptors can't draft the next Durant, they at least need a mission statement!!! -- sportsnet.ca/basketball/nba… Interesting post by @Tom Liston

Ryan Wolstat

Chalmers on @22wiggins going to Kansas: "He chose a great school."

Ryan Wolstat

Each Miami player had a Tony Dungy inspirational quote at his stall.

Ryan Wolstat

LeBron James, Mario Chalmers men of few words pre-game and so were questioners. Think LeBron took three questions.

Payal Doshi

Anyone else have trouble watching @NBATVCanada?

Michael Grange

Coach Jack Donahue is being inducted into the FIBA Hall of Fame; this is why he still matters: sportsnet.ca/basketball/nba… #CanBall

Ryan Wolstat

Truly bizarre LeBron James stats in this series: He's missed 17-of-22 attempts from 5-14 ft, but made 47.6% from 15-19 ft

Quincy Acy

"I said....Set it off to my

Paul Jones

Highest ppg in elimination gms 1 LBJ 31.5 ahead of Jordan 31.3, Wilt 31.3, Iverson 29.8 and Jerry West 29.3 #doordie #nbafinals

Kevin Nielsen

MT: @NBAGuru Two more records in sight for Green: needs 4 3s to set Playoff record for 3s in series; needs 6 to set season Playoff record

Eric Koreen

Through seven innings, Matt Harvey has struck out 13 and allowed just one hit, an infield dribbler in which nobody covered first base.

Paul Jones

Like these #nbafinals 2 previous occasion in 2-3-2 format first 5 gms have had alternating wins...on those occasions trend ended in gm 6

Tom Liston

Eric Koreen

I like advanced statistics, and I don't hate hockey. But hockey's advanced statistics need less insane names. Objectively.

Eric Koreen

Remember that one day when nobody on the internet got outraged about anything?

Paul Jones

In the 2-3-2 format teams leading 3-2 have won #nbafinals 82.4% of time (14-3). Overall teams leading #nbafinals 3-2 win 83.3% (35-7)

Eric Koreen

Between Hollins, Karl and Doc, this has already been a weird-ass summer for coaches.

Tim Chisholm

I love how a team that was willing to trade its coach is also one of the few teams that wants their coach back. This is so backwards.

Kevin Nielsen

I am waiting to read the perfect pun about Keith Hornsby AKA the son of Bruce.

Eric Koreen

As pointed out by @vaswani_, my main conclusion about the Jays' hot streak is that pitching is important. #ANALYTICS
