You guys have really really short memories.

THEY LET DUNCAN SCORE. They shut down everyone else, Kawhi had a good game, but look at Parker, Ginobili, and Green. WoW. Go back and look at that box score.

http://espn.go.com/nba/boxscore?gameId=400467338

Parker 6-23
Ginobli 2-5
Green 1-7
Total 9-35

Don't think they changed Bosh's assignments?

Duncan missed some easy shots. Everyone knew he choked, and he pretty much admitted he choked. It had very little to do with the defense.

If you remember me, then I don't care if everyone else forgets.

On that topic-slight tangent, Bosh is a beast on defence, I am surpised how little talk was put into the job he did stopping Duncan.


I hope you're joking? Bosh is a very good team defender and guards the pick and roll as well as any big man but he got absolutely manhandled by both Duncan and Hibbert in the low block the final 2 series because he doesn't have the strength, size and length to contend with most true Centers on the low block. He also had a lot of trouble keeping both of them off the offensive glass.

You should have watched the game instead of looked at the box score. They didn't "let" anyone score. Good defense was played and Duncan overcame it for the most part.

Really? Because even the announcer noticed Duncan being left open. Again revisionist history

I agree with Miami or any of the top 5 or so teams vs a NT team. I also agree that Bosh is underrated, he is a true 4 forced to play at the 5.

Miami switched up their D in game 6, from trying to protect the paint against Parker and Ginoboli drives. They switched their emphasis to shutting the door on the perimeter. Its obvious that Duncan had a lot more space and better looks, then he had previously, in the series. Their pressure D is crazy good, but like all pressure D (especially without a real big man in the game), that the middles is open when you get to it.
