Atomic Playboy,

How can the 98% of Americans who don't live in Miami be the most obnoxious humans on the planet? 😀 On second thought, perhaps the rest of the planet agrees with you about we 'mericans. 😉

based on how this series has gone, anyone who offers a concrete prediction is insane. At this point, literally nothing would shock me; a close game, a blowout either way, lebron getting the first quintuple double in nba history, tim duncan breaking the nba record for most threes in a game... I literally have no idea what to expect. There's conflicting stats across the board; the home team wins game 7 most of the time, but the team that wins games 1, 3 and 5 wins more often than that, so that favors the spurs. The series has flipped every game, also favoring the spurs. The heat haven't lost a closeout playoff game since 2011. How do you call this one? It's a tossup.

My guess? Miami wins it. I'd rather see the Spurs win because I like them as a team. But I think I might favor Miami to win it just so the entire summer isn't filled with the snarky jeers of people who hate LeBron James for whatever reason, because I find those people to be some of the most obnoxious human beings on the planet. I just hope it's a close, competitive game and I'll be content regardless of the outcome.

The Spurs have never trailed (wins vs losses) in a NBA finals (at least under Duncan). Will that hold true?

I'm also picking Miami, because I'm rooting for them (they beat the Zombie sonics last year so I am a fan).

But yea, could go either way. I couldn't pick who I would put money on. San Antonio has been the better team over the past 6 games IMO. But Miami has proved capable of stepping up when it matters that is why I think they take it
 
I never have bothered to watch hoops on my TV since I had Comcast cable. Seemingly the HD is much better over the air than cable, because this series in 720P is REALLY clear.

Not really sure why Pop is resting his horses. This is game 7 of the finals. You aren't playing Orlando tomorrow night.

All I can think of is that Parker is a lot more hurt than he shows, Duncan is gassed and he's trying to keep them as fresh as possible for the Miami 4th quarter push.
 
Very. The Spurs are flat offensively while being quite good defensively. The Heat seemingly are doing well offensively and poorly defensively, which is good enough to slow the Spurs right now.
 
Who is the small blonde old lady, who always sits court side and camera side?
She always jumps up and hops around like crazy.

I'm sure she is known.
