It's the Miami Heat vs. San Antonio Spurs in Game 6 of the NBA Finals. The Spurs lead the series 3-2 and they have a chance to win the franchise's fifth NBA Championship entering Tuesday night. Can't watch Game 6, check out the live blog with play-by-play, color commentary and up to the minute scoring updates.
The Heat are talking a lot. Well, Chris Bosh said Danny Green will not be wide open in Game 6.
Finally! The Heat notice that Green is a threat from three. That's something the stats showed through the first two games of the series. As Tony Parker and Tim Duncan attract attention in the paint, Green has been able to roam freely around the arc, hitting open threes and, at times, challenged threes. Green's 25 threes are a reason why the Spurs are up 3-2 in the series.
Another reason why the Spurs are up is because the Heat have been inconsistent. LeBron James and Dwyane Wade have played well in the last two games, but they haven't found a true third player to consistently help them out and join in on the scoring. In Game 4, which the Heat won, Bosh was completed the "Big 3", scoring 20 points. However, as Bosh helped out greatly on the offensive boards, no other Heat player, aside from Ray Allen was able to score regularly in Game 5.
The Heat's consecutive Finals appearance could be on the line if they lose the championship as talks of a breakup are navigating through rumor mills. For the franchise, it would have been a failed experiment getting the James and Bosh together. With another loss, the Heat would be 1-2 in the NBA Finals. James has to step up and prove that he truly is the best NBA player of his generation.
Meanwhile, Parker and Manu Ginobili could capture their fourth title, while Duncan can earn his fifth championship, tying him with the great Kobe Bryant. There's no doubt that Duncan will be in the Hall of Fame, but with another championship, will Duncan enter "Greatest of all Time" conversations, at least from the center position? Duncan has played a role in every Spurs team's NBA Finals run. He was there when they captured the first title in 1999 and is here now as the franchise has a chance to win its fifth.
Game time is at 9 p.m. ET from American Airlines Arena in South Beach. Will this be the last game we see Miami's Big 3 play in? Will Ginobili and Duncan retire in 2014 with another championship on their resume?
