I am sorry. I am sorry. A million times Danny, or at least 25 times, I am sorry.

Thus is my apology to Danny Green. At the beginning of this series I said that the Spurs were in a dilemma. I said that either the play Manu Ginobili and have someone on the floor who can’t really guard D-Wade, or they play Danny Green and lose offensive firepower.

So much for that. Danny Green has set a finals record. He has done it in 5 games which blows my mind.

In 5 games, Danny Green has hit 25 3-pointers. That is an average of 5 per game. The previous finals record was set by Ray Allen at 22. Green still has game 6 tonight and possibly a game seven to add to this record. He could end up with over 30 3′s in the NBA finals.

He has ADDED firepower in the place of Manu. There is no single player that has made more of a difference in this series.

If the Spurs win this championship Tony Parker will most likely get the finals MVP. He is the engine that makes this Spurs team go. Just as big of a key however, has been Green.

The fact that he can stay on the floor to guard either Wade or James and then make the impact he has on the offensive end has nullified the largest advantage that I saw for the Heat.

And so, my most humble apology to Danny. You are the finals 3-point king.

I am incredibly annoyed with the Miami Heat. It isn’t because of the flopping or the star treatment of half of their players.

No. It is because they are SOOOOOOOOO talented, yet they are losing to the Spurs.

The Spurs are a great “team” and they know how to play together. But during the season when they Heat were on their streak everyone was talking about this team being one of the best in history.

But this is not even close to one of the best teams in history and I’ll tell you why. It can be summed up in one word, “focus.”

This has been the knock on the Miami Heat since the big 3 got together. They get bored. They don’t play hard all the time. If they did then they would beat anyone. Hmmmm…. sound familiar?

The Heat remind me of Randy Moss. Moss had the tools to be the greatest receiver of all time. He was big and fast and….. played when he wanted to.

He was still one of the greats, but when he stated that he was the greatest during super bowl weekend, all we could do was laugh.

That is the way I feel about this Heat team. Jordan and the ’96 Bulls would have crushed this Heat team. They easily rivaled the Heat in talent and surpassed them by miles in focus.

I just think that there is an immaturity in the Heat stars that has lead to this team being on the verge of losing a championship that should have already been in the bag.

The Heats back is against the wall. Which is good for them. Apparently that is the only time that they actually play.

I said that the Spurs needed to close out this series before it went back to Miami, I still feel that way. I think that the Heat with in their desperation could easily still win this series.

However, they have certainly lost their place as one of the best teams ever. They never had it to me. The media needs to stop.

Just in case anyone thought that the series was done…

It was Dwayne Wade, finally becoming the x-factor that I thought he would be from the start that changed Miami’s fortune in Spur country. Took long enough, but if Wade could be consistent the Spurs will have a tough time.

The series is now 2-2 and no matter what happens this contest will end in South Beach. This also could spell trouble for the Spurs.

To me, game 4 was not only a must win for Miami, it was for San Antonio as well. Sure the Spurs won game one in Miami, but the Heat don’t seem to lose at home very often when trying to close out a series.

Of course this finals series has been anything but predictable with only one game being closer than 16 points and the series knotted at 2.

I expect the Spurs to win game 5 and be up 3-2 going into the final road trip of the season. But I don’t know that it will be enough against a supremely talented Heat team in their building.

I heard it a lot after the game 2 egg laid by the Spurs.

“The series is over.” “This is gonna happen just like Chicago. Heat in 5,” were just a couple of the messages sent to me over the weekend.

Apparently someone forgot to tell the Spurs that they were supposed to just roll over and die.

So far this series has been a great example of good coaching. Game one was a slugfest. Both teams came into the series preparing for certain things, but ultimately unfamiliar with each other. San Antonio pulled out the first win in Miami. Then Miami made adjustments and came back to destroy the Spurs in game 2. Fair enough. It was then San Antonio’s turn to make some adjustments. Did they ever?!

Good coaches go back to the drawing board, make the necessary preparations and  come out better the next game.

Popovich is one of the best coaches in the history of the NBA. He has the best record of any coach, including Phil Jackson, to play more than 20 games in the finals. He has all the accolades. Spolstra tricked the Spurs in game two with the help of a vastly more talented team. He needs to do it again in San Antonio NEXT GAME. Teams just don’t come back down 3-1 in the finals. Maybe start with guarding Green and Neal. 13-19 from the 3 point line. That’s just bad defense.

The Heat need their star to respond. Lebron was horrible. Plain and simple he was abysmal. There isn’t really an explanation for it. Earlier in the playoffs Lebron stated that he went back to his Cleveland days when he completely took over a game. I guess he went back to Cleveland, only this was the Cleveland where he got embarrassed by Boston and walked off the court for the last time as a Cavalier.

One thing is for sure. Adjustments, overhauls needs to be made. If the Heat lose the next game then we might not be taking our talents back to South Beach.
