NBA Yoffs Starting to Heat Up

The Spurs/Thunder game last night and the Miami/Toronto game today were LIT.  Right now is arguably the best time of the year for sports and everybody needs to sit back and enjoy these games.  Anyway, let's get into it.

All anyone is talking about from the Spur's game are the last 15 seconds and for good reason.  My take on Dion Waiters push on Manu is that yes of course that's a foul but the Spurs got the ball back anyway and had a timeout which they didn't use.  So yeah it cost them a few seconds, but the Spurs had the ball at the end and had a few chances to get up a good shot/draw a foul.

Also, Tony Parker's no look behind the back pass to Aldridge who nailed the three was as good as it gets.


Next, this savage move by the Spurs fan who literally grabs Steven Adams and holds him back was a hilarious move. Obviously it didn't do anything at that point, but if it did that guy would be a hero in San Antonio (also wouldn't be allowed back in the arena but would be well worth it).

I thought the Spurs were gonna crush the Thunder all series after seeing the smackdown in game 1, but it looks like we have a series and I couldn't be happier.  Just a nice appetizer before the main entree of the WCF.


As for the Miami/Toronto game, just quickly wanted to touch on that game tying buzzer beater.
Ridiculous shot.  And good for him too because he had been awful all playoffs from 3 before that.  Great game from D Wade and it was really vintage Wade at the end - loses the ball and then comes up with the steal and the layup to seal the game after that.  That guy just does not get enough respect anymore.

I definitely like Miami in this series, maybe in 6 games and I actually see them giving Cleveland a run for their money next round.
