We all know how Game 6 of the 2013 NBA Finals ended. San Antonio missed free throws late turned into a Chris Bosh offensive rebound which led to a Ray Allen 3 and eventually a Miami overtime win to tie the series at 3. A late Ginobili turnover in Game 7 sealed the fate of San Antonio and gave Miami their 2 straight title and 3rd title in franchise history. The Spurs basically felt they let the 2013 NBA Championship slip away. Now they get a chance to make up for what happened a year ago. However will Lebron James, D. Wade, Chris Bosh and the Miami Heat allow that to happen. Miami is on a mission to 3 peat. Meanwhile the series could come down to how healthy Tony Parker leg/ankle is. Parker had to exit Game 6 of the Western Conference Finals vs. Oklahoma City with a lower leg injury. If TP isn't his normal self it could diminish the Spurs chances vs. the Heat. Miami battling San Antonio is the 1st repeat Finals since Chicago vs. Utah in 1997 and 1998. We all know how those series ended Jordan, Pippen, Jackson and the Bulls winning their 5th and 6th titles respectively. The next week and a half - two weeks should be interesting. Game 1 starts the Finals this Thursday in San Antonio as the 2-2-1-1-1 NBA Finals format returns.
