Ninety Degrees

I find it very funny that the NBA players Association thinks 90 degree temperatures in San Antonio's Arena was too hot to play.  Just Friday college baseball players are playing outside in upper 90 degrees in some places so what's the big deal.

I have sat in Reynolds Coliseum a many a night when it was forty outside and near a 100 inside.  I am sure the folks at Duke could attest same type conditions in Durham.  The issue is LaBron had cramps and didn't play the last five minutes.

I have no issue what ever with LaBron getting cramps and having to sit out.  Just maybe the Heat could have done a better job to protect their players with more fluids and less playing time.  Anyone who has ever in the middle of the night felt their calf cramp up and your big toe pull straight knows that LaBron had little choice about playing until relief came.

The question that I see  is how really good is Miami without LaBron? Just last week San Antonio without their all star point guard Tony Parker came from behind at the half after Parker sprained  his ankle in game six of the Western Conference finals on the road at OKC.

Then there is the six titles during Michael Jordan's run three before his first retirement and three when he came back.  None for the Bulls without him.  Can this Miami team beat anybody without LaBron?

I find it hard to sit and watch NBA basketball because of the one on one play.  I can however watch The Spurs do to the fact they play as a team.  In fact they led the league in assists this season.  If it weren't for a three point shot from the front row by Ray Allen last year in game six San Antonio would be chasing  six titles during the Tim Duncan era.

Post 58 has stayed unbeaten beating Post 39 6-3.  They are now 4-0-1 on the season. Their next action is Tuesday night at home.
