Spurs to face Heat in 2013 NBA Finals

When it was all said and done, the Miami Heat emerged from Game 7 of the Eastern Conference Finals, the Miami Heat behind LeBron James’ 32 points and eight rebounds. This marks the third consecutive year that the Heat have made it into the NBA Finals.

“You never want to take anything for granted,” Point Guard Dwayne Wade said afterward. “Being here three straight years in a row, going back to the finals, is an amazing feat. I’m just glad we were able to do it. Everything that happened in the first six games didn’t mean anything to us. It was about tonight. It was about Game 7. It was about finding a way to win here at home.”

Game 1 of the NBA Finals is scheduled for Thursday June 6th.  Get your Tickets before they’re all gone!

 

Spurs await next foe, rest up and recouperate

The San Antonio Spurs are sure of one thing, June 6th they will be playing someone out of the Eastern Conference for a shot at the Larry O’Brien Trophy and that is a good ten days of rest for one of the older teams of the NBA.

“Is it 10 days, really?” Duncan said when asked whether the layoff and rest are worth the rust the team will accumulate. “It’s both. What are you gonna say? It’s both. We’re going to be a little rusty starting the first game. It’s just how it is. We’re going to figure out how to practice and stay sharp. But, bottom line, we’re going to be a little rusty.”

In the East, the Indiana Pacers have taken a (some would say surprising) 2-2 tie going into game 5. The Spurs hope it goes all seven for wear and tear on the both teams yes, but it will also give them time to study both teams flaws and figure out how to exploit those flaws.

Tickets for the NBA Finals will be on sale soon.

Spurs/Warriors Round Two

The San Antonio Spurs survived the Golden State Warriors in an exhausting Game 1 of the Western Conference Semi-finals in San Antonio and now look forward to what game two has in store.  There is one big thing they would like to work on.

“We’d like to figure out how to hold (Stephen) Curry under 40 (points),” head coach Gregg Popovich said. “I have like 10 phone calls out to people asking for suggestions. He’s unbelievable.”

What Curry did was no small feat against a defensive minded Spurs team;  44 points (18-35 from the field and 6-14 from the 3-point line), 11 assists, four rebounds and two steals while playing nearly the entire game (57:56).

Warriors Head Coach Mark Jackson put his team’s chances this way:

“All we do is concentrate on the facts,” Jackson said. “And the facts are, we were the better basketball team for the most part of that game. We did some things we have to do better. But you have to leave that game feeling good about where we are.”

Tickets are still available for tonight game!
