Stupid. Might as well give us credit for drafting Rajon Rondo,Luol Deng and Nate Robinson then...and its not like its not that long ago that they shouldn't remember his draft rights were traded...

To be fair, that's a pretty obscure move in the big picture of the NBA. But if you are going to talk about it you should know your stuff, that's for sure.

I love all the criticism Lebron is taking. I mean cramps are serious business, and I'm not saying he isn't tough or something. I don't buy the "Jordan would have played" talk. But I'm still glad he got beaten pretty badly like that.

I think the criticism is unwarranted really. I'm not crying for him, but he did try to give it a go and the guy couldn't even move. I also don't want the pundits blaming the Spurs AC going off for it either. Both teams had to play through it...

The Lebron thing was a tough break for Miami. There have been other 1 game injuries that have hurt teams before though (Nash's bloody nose keeping him from the end of game 1 vs SA in 2005 anyone?)

2005 was that? I think it was 2007. Diaw, Raja and Barbosa were there I believe.

Yea 2007 I think your right. The Spurs/Suns duels all blend together....except 2010 of course.

And there is video of Steve Kerr telling the Spurs front office who to take for that selection!

Hey @Gatorade where's all your sports science magic for preventing cramps in your no. 1 client @KingJames?

Yeah honestly I don't think that was smart of Gatorade. It seemed petty and spiteful to me. His cramping has nothing to do with what sports drink he endorses.

It does seem spiteful. There are even photos of him drinking Gatorade from the game. So...

I thought this was pretty funny. Especially the Parker bit at the end.

They are saying that Lebron may still not be 100%. Interesting. Would love to see the Spurs take both at home.

I think it'll be tight but I'm hoping the Spurs pull it out. I'm glad the Finals are back to the 2-2-1-1-1 format.

The 3 fucking days off couldn't help him recover from cramps? Bullshit.

This just feels like another Spurs victory in the making. The Heat aren't able to stop the Spurs from getting high percentage shots. Love it.

Parker is just a magician at the rim. I have no idea how he can get those shots off without being blocked.
