Game 1 of the 2014 NBA Finals between the Miami Heat and the San Antonio Spurs tips Thursday night at 9:00 PM.
If you’re looking forward to watching it in hopes of getting some exciting NBA action, you’re not alone. After last year’s Finals that featured two amazing finishes—Tony Parker’s bank shot to secure a four-point victory in Game 1 or Ray Allen’s three-point shot, perhaps the shot heard round the world, in Game 6 to force overtime, everyone is hoping for an equally entertaining series this year.
The Spurs are the heavy favorites, as many experts, players, analysts, writers, bookies, you name it, are all putting their money on San Antonio to pull through and avenge their loss last year.
Here is some of the chatter going on around the league on Twitter as we approach Game 1.
Lookin forward to tonight’s game …I got Spurs in 6 or 7!
