Bauman: Five everlasting memories from 2013 NBA Finals

by

The 2012-13 NBA Finals were a sight to behold. Long. Epic. Utterly unpredictable from game to game, quarter to quarter. The door was seemingly slammed shut by San Antonio… yet somehow reopened and slammed shut by Miami. Here are five everlasting memories of the phenomenal basketball from one of the most inspirationally played championship series ever: 5. Game 6 and Game 7 won’t be forgotten / Spurs veteran trio not enough / Heat too hungry to contain: Game 6 won’t soon be forgotten. Neither will Game 7. Tim

Tweet of the Night: Dwyane Wade

by

Now that Miami Heat have won their second consecutive championship to conclude the 2012-’13 NBA season, Dwyane Wade can finally sit back, relax and enjoy some time with his loved ones. He has also spent some time figuring out how Instagram’s new video capabilities work… When u get caught lying… http://t.co/XPsl7SgbLb — THREE (@DwyaneWade) June 24, 2013 One thing Wade does not have to worry about any more is his troublesome knee that slowed him down for the majority of the postseason. Wade averaged

Podcast: Should the Miami Heat trade Chris Bosh?

by

Chris Bosh scored zero points in Game 7 of the NBA Finals. He was outplayed in the Eastern Confernce finals by David West and Roy Hibbert, depending on whether Chris Andersen or Udonis Haslem was playing alongside him. He appears to be a shell of the alpha dog who resided in Toronto until 2010. [Read more…]

Podcast: More Popovich bashing

by

Seems like all I am doing with my Friday is interview after interview bashing Gregg Popovich. Now, don’t get me wrong. I like Pop. I’ve covered him with the Spurs and Team USA since 2002. When he is chippy with the media, he is never directing that chippiness at me (you have to know HOW to ask a proper question, or you are dead meat). But he is open to some serious second-guessing, and that’s what I did in this

Podcast: Bashing Gregg Popovich

by

You do not leave your best offensive player on the bench for the most important offensive play of Game 6 and Game 7. You do not leave your best defensive player on the bench for the most critical rebounding opportunity of Game 6. Congratulations, Gregg Popovich. You deserved to lose the NBA Finals. More on that, plus a Nixon v. McGovern reference, in this interview from Friday with Bob Valvano of ESPN680 The Zone in Louisville. [Read more…]

StatBox NBA Finals Breakdown: LeBron and Wade finally coexist to lead Miami title win

by

Through the first six games of the NBA Finals, there was just one really important thing the Miami Heat just could not seem to accomplish offensively: successfully integrating Dwyane Wade and LeBron James together on the floor. Heat Coach Erik Spoelstra found the right group of players to pair with LeBron to succeed offensively against the stingy San Antonio Spurs defense. James was put at the power forward position and paired with Mario Chalmers (who can handle, shoot and ably execute

Video: Hamilton on Heat’s Game 7 victory

by

In a way, history repeated itself in Game 7 of the NBA Finals. In addition to MVP LeBron James’ dominance and the Spurs’ struggles down the stretch, there was an unlikely hero. Shane Battier knocked down his first five 3-point attempts and finished with six, reminiscent of Mike Miller’s seven 3-pointers in the title-clinching victory over Oklahoma City a year ago. Dwyane Wade wasn’t bad either, after a series in which he was criticized and even ridiculed. This was the 18th Game
