Congrats to the Miami Heat and San Antonio Spurs for reaching the NBA Finals. I'm happy for their fans. After all, they were robbed of this match up...three times the past twelve months.
The Spurs blew a two game lead and lost to the Oklahoma City Thunder in last year's Western Conference Finals. OKC went on to get pimp slapped by the Heat in a non competitive championship round. Earlier this season, Heat fans were eagerly awaiting Tim Duncan and Company. Both teams were playing well and the game was nationally televised. Spurs head coach Gregg Popovich elected to send four of his best players home, leaving fans watching what amounts to a scrimmage game.
Popovich was fined by the league. The NBA should've taken that fine money and refunded those in attendance that night.
But I digress.
Not to be outdone, Miami head coach Erik Spoelstra sat a healthy LeBron James and Dwayne Wade when the Heat made their annual return visit to San Antonio. Coincidence? Hmm.
That certainly won't be the case on Thursday, both teams will be star studded up and ready to rumble. This will be the last time we'll see these two teams as constructed, and playing this good. Both teams will get at least two home games, and barring injury...every superstar hand will be on deck.
Checkmate fans. follow @plcolter
