It's pretty lame that there was no fans or air circulators along the baselines blowing towards the floor and benches. Hot place like San Antonio, gotta have a plan B just incase.
13 YEARS AGO TODAY, THE STEP OVER We Remember: Allen Iverson Crosses over Tyronn Lue, Hits Jumper, Steps over Him http://bleacherreport.com/articles/...es-over-tyronn-lue-hits-jumper-steps-over-him
There's nowhere to put fans that big near the court, and no way to put them in the aisles without violating fire codes. They had some big ones near the lower entryways and a couple in the tunnels, I guess too keep air circulating into the arena, but the place is too big to expect fans to make any difference but a superficial one.
A.I's play on the court never screamed punk bitch to me. Dude always gave it 100% and his short ass was fearless with a lot of heart.
I never liked Iverson. I always thought he was pretty overrated, and in the latter stages of his career, he became a clear cancer. Teams that acquired him got worse, because he had a huge ego and everything had to be about him. You can blame his supporting cast all you want, but he was named to 3 All-NBA first teams and 3 All-NBA second teams, and his teams did nothing in the playoffs (a la Tracy McGrady). Only one NBA Finals appearance, and that series was not competitive. Only one conference finals appearance, too (that led to the NBA finals appearance). I also tend to think he was fortunate to play before people focused so much on efficiency. He scored a lot (because he took more shots than anyone) and in those days, that made you a superstar, even if you shot 42% and turned the ball over a hell of a lot.
Play on the court is play on the court, it has nothing to do with personality or behavior. Iverson was a punk bitch every day of the week. And now he's a broke punk bitch.
I'm still in disbelief as to how his two final seasons in Philly arguably were his two best years statistically.
Pumped baby!!! This is gonna be interesting to see if LeBron cramps up again. He has had a history of cramps. Also hoping San Antonio doesn't turn the ball over 20+ times again. If they limit turnovers, they win this game. Calling Spurs win tonight. They are just too good at home and I can't see them turning the ball over like they did in game 1. Spurs up 2-0 heading back to Miami.
Lebron is 6-4 in game 2 after losing game 1. Lebron is 23-2 with James capers reffing. Miami wins tonight by 7
