At least we know it's going 7, right?

 

EDIT: I know it's a merit based system, but you would think that they'd really try to avoid having Crawford ref against the Spurs in the FINALS given the history between the two.

 

Im curious as to what merit Crawford has earned. The guy has been nothing short of controversial and confrontational his entire career, and he has changed games pretty much by himself.

 

And this isnt even counting his grudge against Duncan.

 

Will Duncan have 2 fouls by the end of the first quarter? My guess is yes

To be fair, he's actually not a bad official MOST OF THE TIME. He just makes horrendous non-basketball related calls. Wasn't he the guy that ejected Duncan for laughing on the bench? He just injects himself into the game way too much, even if the majority of his calls are probably right.

 

At the end of the day he's not going to be the difference. If Miami's defense shows up, they win. If not, they lose. I think if the Spurs can keep it close/lead a little by the 4th, they walk away with the win just like Dallas did in 2011. Miami will start to press, no one will know who should be taking the big shot and that'll be that.

Good as time as any for the Heat to lose their first back to back games this year.

Why is joey Crawford allowed to officiate in the finals?

Great pace so far. Duncan looks f***in' fresh. You can tell he's got rings on da brain.

lol@Mike Miller. Take yo ass to da bench after that.

I really wish they'd start calling the hand/forearm in the face from the offensive player. Yes, I realize Blake does that on damn near every attempt at the rim.

Also guys that slide in under the offensive player when they're already in the air.

I'll say it again. This pace incredible. I'm gettin' dizzy watchin' this s***.

Manu has decided to slow things down.

Oh, that's right. The greatest one to play the game is still playing.

Duncan is my second favorite player ever (you can probably guess who my first is), but it's really hard to argue him over Kareem. This is another debate though.

Haha, didn't see this before my post, but +1

Lebron with a choke job so far.

He has no idea what to do out there.

It's not that hard at all. Comparable peaks and Duncan kills him longevity wise. And the Laker's were Magic's team through all those runs.

Ho hum, 25 and 8 for duncan in 1st half

Basketball reference. Just some subtle hints....
