NBA Finals Game 1

NBA Finals Game 1

NBA fans around the World were treated to a great home opener in Miami Florida, neither the Miami Heat or San Antonio Spurs disappointed. NBA Finals Game 1 has been every bit of what the prognosticators predicted, youth and athleticism against age and experience. The story lines for the series and both teams are worthy of two Championship organizations with a history. No one thought the Spurs would be intimidated by the defending Champs or their super star King James, what wasn't expected was to see how well the Spurs would keep up with the athleticism of the Heat.

Fans that watched NBA Finals game 1 witnessed two very good teams that have great respect for their opponent, both teams realize they are capable of beating each other and every possession counts! For the Spurs to go into Miami and take the first game is huge but the Heat have not lost back to back games in more then seventeen (17) playoff games. By far the biggest shot of the game was the Tony Parker bucket with five (5) seconds to go in the fourth putting the Spurs up by four (4).

Biggest Shot of the Night!

These two teams seem to be well matched but as we saw during the Indiana Pacers series against the Heat the size of the Spurs in the middle maybe a problem! More importantly Tim Duncan is a much more experienced player and will surely cause the Heat some issue. If the Heat are going to repeat the big three are going to have to bring it every game and the roll players are gonna have to do a better job on both the offensive and defensive sides of the ball... As for LeBron James he can not be a passive facilitator, it's got to be more aggressive. 

NBA Finals Game 1, Fired Up Spurs!

This series will shine a light on both Coaches, Eric Spoelstra has certainly done a good job of managing his super stars but this is the NBA Finals game 1 of the Championship Series and the Antonio Spurs are a more then worthy opponent!!! I for one thought the Heat would roll through the NBA this season until they ran into the Pacers and I believe they were exposed...
