Spurs were older than the Heat last year

[3ball]

Parker and Duncan were the Spurs top 2 scorers and they were 31 and 37 years old... the Spurs foruth-leading scorer was 36 (Manu).

So the Heat's loss can't be blamed on age... Does that mean the Heat loss is blamed on the 17 more playoff games they played over a 4-year period (2011-2014) than the Spurs?

You know damn well the Heat were older than the Spurs the last 2 years.

[J Shuttlesworth]

Wasn't Kawhi the leading scorer in the finals?

And the Spurs had tons of young role players, where the Heat had old role players

What was the average age of each team? That's the best way to determine

BTW, people blame the loss on the fact that the Spurs were a better team, not old age.

Dude, come back to reality, these time travelling to Jordan' days has been affecting you mentally. Nobody blamed age for Heat loss, Spurs were simply the better team, where did you come up with that?

Oh. Well OP is an idiot then. He's just plain lying

[Done_And_Done]

Age has nothing to do with anything. The Spurs were just the better team last year and put on a clinic to substantiate it.

No point of arguing with them, he will come back and say '' I was talking about the leading scorers, they were older, i wasn't talking about the average age...... Jordan'', he is an idiot!

An optimal playing style and superior navigation efficiency.

they had these advantages against every team.

but they only went crazy offensively against the Heat.. why go off only on the Heat?

-They were out for blood
-They blew out the Blazers in every game but 1
-3 of their wins in OKC were blowouts i believe

the stats prove the spurs went crazy offensively ONLY against the Heat - the Spurs ORtg against the Heat was significantly higher than everyone else:

vs. MIA: 120.8
vs. OKC: 114.4
vs. POR: 113.1
vs. DAL: 113.1


clearly the normal range for the Spurs ORtg is 113-114.

Yup the Spurs definitely peaked vs the Heat, no question, but let's be honest, there's so many different factors as to why this could happen that its all subjective
