Miami Heat Vs. San Antonio Spurs
GAME TIME: Thursday @ 9 p.m. ET
Here are My Talking points
- This is the third year in a row Miami has beat out the Indiana Pacers for a spot in the Playoffs
- Not very many people are happy about this match up (it's happened so often, it's getting boring)
- Both Miami and the Spurs won their conference finals by game six
- Meaning Miami beat the Pacers in six games, Miami won four games and Pacers only won two. Spurs did the same against the Oklahoma Thunder
- This is the second time Miami and Spurs have played in the playoffs consecutively (I'm going for the Spurs)
