Because we have to wait three days between games for money and TV ratings reasons, it's



Thursday night's opener was weird. The air conditioning in San Antonio "failed", and it left the fans sweating like twenty thousand Patrick Ewings. The basketball was good; was good. That was until LeBron James cramped up in the fourth quarter and it all went to poo poo.

Here, let my assistants tell you about it...



























Based on Thursday night, here's the likely starting lineups:



I'd post preview links for this one, but just about everything I've read has been some variation on LEBRON!!! CRAMPS!!! HEAT!!! and you probably don't need to read any more of that. So have fun...

Don't do it The Spurs, don't do it mang. Don't give this game to Miami, if you are going to cheat then don't come out of it with a guilty conscience.

This is a Real Cool OP for a GDT by the way, I'm used to the NHL ones which for the last week or so have been basically just "gently caress the kings" copy pasted a few times.

I can't wait til game 3 when Miami turns down the temp so low that the bald spot on Ginobili's head freezes over and magellanic penguins migrate on top of him, completely wrecking any remaining lateral movement

Miami will litter the Spurs locker room with famous quotes from Science Fiction but the quotes and the stories/movies they're from are mixed up and it will cause Tim Duncan to malfunction.

Hahah yeah a speaker left playing a loop of a voice reading "LUKE, I AM YOUR FATHER" forces Duncan to miss the game stuck in the locker room desperately explaining to the walls that this is a common mishearing of the phrase

Damn, this is good coffee.
40 minutes to tipoff and the AC in here seems functional. Hilariously, the free giveaway tonight is a towel (in case the AC goes out again).

I hope we abandon the pretense of fairness or rules in sport and devolve into pure animal competition as the Spurs fans attack and devour anybody they see wearing red and Birdman tears through dozens of husky men women and children in his own personal doomed Alamo stand (LeBron obviously escapes he's really strong and resourceful)

I hope that if Manu catches a bat, Rashard Lewis will load his catapult and fling an iron ball, to smash his head, before he can harm this innocent animal
