You implied the Spurs style of play caused Lebron's cramps do I even have to explain this? Isn't the absurdity of this argument self-evident?

The Spurs run more than any team in the league and they tire out the other team because they have a deep rotation.

What about this is absurd? We just watched a series where the explanation was repeatedly "Durant and Westbrook are tired".

Miami just got done playing two series at an 82 pace.

Team distance traveled in the playoffs: Spurs lead at 17.5 miles with 4.4 average speed. Heat are near the bottom at 15.9 miles per game and 4.0 average speed.

It is a very very real difference. And yes, the Spurs are more talented than the Net, Bobcats, and Pacers.

Bashez on the other hand has traveled 0.2 miles a week, the distance between his moms basement and the refridgerator (several times a day), with a speed of one fedora an hour.

No poo poo, they're less talented. They're not so, so, so much less talented that playing a competent team immediately renders the Heat into cramps without external factors being involved. This isn't like the NCAA where you get a blue chip team running a midmajor off the floor, this is the NBA, in the playoffs no less.

Marco, Timmy, Manu, Mills, Parker and Splitter all grew up in hot foreign countries/islands and were preparing for this game their whole life.

Parker did not grow up in a hot place.

The external factor being 30 more possessions per game.

glowing-fish: Feb 18, 2013; Keep grinding,
I hope you level up!

Summing up the game and the A/C issue:

1. The game was close for three quarters, with both teams making bad plays, and good plays.
2. The A/C did affect LeBron James, and his team most probably would have done better with him on the floor.
3. The Spurs were probably also feeling a lot of fatigue from the heat, but having a deeper bench helped them avoid exhaustion.
4. Even in a stadium with working A/C, there is a chance LBJ might have been getting tired late in the fourth quarter.

Do all four of those seem reasonable conclusions?

Not playing a single up tempo basketball game since April and then playing one could realistically be a factor in a cramp.

The threepeat is going to be so much sweeter because of the stupidity of Bashez, Beadle and Bayless.

I cannot imagine that with 71 hours between game starts that they can't get the right people in place to fix this. I'm sure they're already working on it.

Oftentimes the longer delays are due to lack of specialized equipment and not specialized people. I think it will be fine for game 2, either way.

I'd be confused as to why this is even controversial except Bashez said it so a bunch of people need to imaginehe's trolling because he's a goofy homer in GDTs.
