LeBron James vows to play better
“I played like —-.” LeBron James was as blunt as ever as he spoke to the media Wednesday follow the Miami Heat’s 113 – 77 loss to the San Antonio Spurs in Game 3 of the NBA Finals. He did not shy away from blame, on the contrary, he took it all on the chin. I take full responsibility for our team’s performance last night. Me as a leader, I can’t afford to perform like I did last night and expect us
Sheridan: LeBron James Stunk; Danny Green and Gary Neal Did Not
SAN ANTONIO — The King has been reduced to a pawn, so we will spare you another column devoted entirely to the troubles and travails of LeBron James. You can find that elsewhere. All you need to know about the king (lower case is intentional) after the Miami Heat’s 36-point blowout loss in Game 3 of the NBA Finals was that he put the blame squarely on his own shoulders and said “I’m not doing my part.” The eunuching of James
Reactions of NBA players and others from Game 3 of the NBA Finals
After getting embarrassed on the road in Game 2 of the NBA Finals, the San Antonio Spurs got their revenge against the Miami Heat in a big way in Game 3 at the AT&T Center.

With sturdy defense, unusual discipline and unbelievable performances from its two brightest stars, San Antonio edged Miami, 92-88, to take Game 1 of the NBA Finals on Thursday night. First of all, and most importantly, Miami has to contend with an
Hubbard: In the give-and-take with Popovich, reporters usually take
SAN ANTONIO – After each Spurs practice, the media assembles in a corner of the facility and prepares for an encounter with famously gruff San Antonio coach Gregg Popovich. Other teams call it an interview session. With Pop, it’s more like a duel at 10 paces. Pop is the only one armed. Verbally. Within the word “intimidate” is the word “timid,” and that combination exists at each get-together. Pop has a naturally irritated look that has been refined by years of repetition.
Bauman: As usual, Spurs looking at the big picture
NEW YORK — “What is this, the fiscal cliff?!” exclaimed Gregg Popovich as he came out of the Spurs’ locker room following the Knicks’ second half surge to a 100-83 victory over San Antonio at the Garden.

In the game of the night, Gary Neal scored a career-high 27 points to lead a furious Spurs comeback. Manu Ginobili (17) had his best game yet, and even without Tony Parker (illness) they scored 39 fourth-quarter points to prevail. For the Blazers, Nicolas Batum (33) and LaMarcus Aldridge (29) were terrific in defeat and rookie Damian Lillard added 20 points, but the Portland bench is really, really bad — they were outscored 63-4 by the San Antonio reserves.
