Chris Bosh fined $5,000;Flopping needs to stop.
The NBA announced that Miami Heat forward Chris Bosh has been fined $5,000 for flopping during the first half of Game 4 in the NBA Finals.
The flop happened during the second quarter. Bosh was trailing Spurs forward Tim Duncan as the two headed back down the court when Duncan established position in the paint to post up Bosh. As Spurs guard Gary Neal approached with the dribble,...

Spurs' coach puts Pop into news conferences
During his team's Game 3 rout of the Heat, Gregg Popovich was shown on TV talking to his players while they were in the process of burying Miami with a stirring offensive display.
''When you're open, let it fly,'' the Spurs' coach told them. ''Put your name in the paper.''
A day later, San Antonio guard Gary Neal was asked about that...
Scouting, development paying off for Spurs
SAN ANTONIO (AP) -- The San Antonio Spurs have long been the NBA's gold standard when it comes to drafting and development. They comb the globe to find the right players to fit their well-established system, then spend the time it takes to develop them.
Even their American players don't come from America. Danny Green, Gary Neal and Matt Bonner all played overseas before...
PRICE TO PAY
Bosh fined for Game 4 flop
Chris Bosh was fined by the NBA for flopping during the second quarter of Game 2. The call went in his favor, but not the money.
Time for Spurs to respond after Game 4 defeat to Heat
Spurs, your turn.
If only it was so easy for San Antonio. The elementary analysis of the 2013 NBA Finals says the Spurs are due for a victory in Sunday night's Game 5. Through the first four games they've gone back and forth with Miami, winning then losing to give us a 2-2 deadlock.
But the Game 4 setback opens up a whole new round of issues, with the least troublesome...
Game 4 lessons: 2 + 1 still equals 3
The Miami heat pushed "The Button" on Thursday in San Antonio, a button they seem to use only when they really need it, like Popeye's spinach.
LeBron James showed up in camouflage, which may or may not have been a coincidence, and the Heat got big games from their Big Three, using a fourth-quarter surge to put away the Spurs, 109-93 .
So the narrative of the series...

Bosh flops hilariously after bump from Duncan
Chris Bosh had a tough time in the first half of Game 4 of the NBA Finals. He threw down an emphatic dunk to end the second quarter, but unfortunately for him, the quarter expired while the ball was still in his hands. It was that kind of time for Bosh. In many ways, that mistake was typical of Bosh. So was his flop earlier in the half, when he made a slight bump by Tim Duncan look...
Happy Hour – Crucial Game Four
After a highly competitive Game 1, the last two games of the NBA Finals have started close and ended in massive blowouts. In Game 2, it was the Heat pulling away from the Spurs, while in Game 3, the Spurs put on a three-point shooting display, led by Danny Green and Gary Neal to beat the Heat by 36. I am rooting for the Spurs but tonight, more than that, I am rooting for another...

What can role players do for you?
Through the first three games of the NBA Finals, Danny Green, Gary Neal, and Kawhi Leonard have scored as many points (130) as LeBron James, Dwyane Wade, and Chris Bosh. Let that sink in for a moment.
We've seen a disturbing trend over the past few years, one we...

NBA Finals: This is a weird series
It started off as we thought it might. Tim Duncan and Tony Parker are key in a San Antonio Spurs win while LeBron James had a triple double in a Game 1 that could've gone either way. Then things got weird.
First the Spurs got crushed by the Miami Heat, which isn't too weird, but what was weird is that the blowout wasn't a part of a "LeBron game" or...
Inside Look at Game 3 of the NBA Finals (Video)
This is the third installment of NBA Entertainment’s behind the scenes look at the NBA Finals between the Miami Heat and the San Antonio Spurs, and three things jumped out at me.
1. Tim Duncan’s truly woeful wardrobe.
2. Ray Allen and Chris Bosh’s pre-game speech didn’t have the same impact as Dwyane Wade’s gem from Game 2.
3. Greg Popovich’s hilariously calm and sarcastic...
Video: Spurs-Heat Game 3 micro-movie
Game 3 of the 2013 NBA Finals between the San Antonio Spurs and Miami Heat was one for the record books. The Spurs simply crushed the Heat winning 113-77 in San Antonio thanks in large part to the 3-point barrage by Danny Green and Gary Neal.
Green made a postseason-high 7 three-pointers while Neal finished with a career postseason–high 6 threes. The Spurs set a Finals record...
Tony Parker ‘uncertain but hopeful’ for Game 4
via SI.Com
After a compelling win by the Spurs (that’s putting it lightly) most critics say that Game 4 is a virtual do or die situation for the Heat. Game 4 is always a pivotal turning point. Spurs could be one win away at 3-1 or dead even at 2-2. The Spurs definitely don’t look like a team that will lose three straight games. However, a bleak development could turn the tides...
NBA Finals have featured more blowouts than drama
SAN ANTONIO Spurs guard Tony Parker opened the NBA Finals with a memorable shot at the end of Game 1.
San Antonio's 92-88 victory gave hope that the series against the defending champion Miami Heat was going to be full of close games.
It hasn't quite worked out that way so far.
What followed Parker's sensational shot in Game 1 a twisting, ducking, barely shot clock...
2013 NBA Finals: Why The Biggest Night of Gary Neal’s Life Doesn’t Matter
In San Antonio, its all about the name on the front of the jersey.
Apologies to Gary Neal, but this was all part of the plan.
The San Antonio Spurs reserve guard scored 24 points last night in a historic 113 – 77 blow out of the Miami Heat in Game 3 of the NBA Finals.
Before last night, Neal was relatively unknown, and by the time the game was over, he was a part of NBA lore. Perfect...

This Really Happened: Gary Neal, Danny Green, Kawhi Leonard and Mike Miller Outshine Everyone
Between the San Antonio Spurs and Miami Heat, there are anywhere from six to eight future Hall of Famers stepping on the court each night. LeBron James is the best player in the world. Tony Parker is the best playoff point guard since I’m not even sure who. Tim Duncan is the greatest power forward [...]The post This Really Happened: Gary Neal, Danny Green, Kawhi Leonard and Mike...
Spurs Role Players Excel Past Heat In Game Three
Every NBA championship series has the rising of an unknown player. We have come to know this player as the Robert Horry (or Derek Fisher). Last night, we may have found the role player (or players) who played like stars in order to give their team the advantage.
Danny Green and Gary Neal put a clinic on the Miami Heat. They took advantage of the poor rotations and lack of...

LeBron James Totally Gives Up, Doesn’t Bother Defending Danny Green’s Shot in Game 3 (GIF)
LeBron James was a little deflated by the time the Spurs were done laying a 113-77 whupping on his Heat in Game 3. The Spurs hit 16 3-pointers, Danny Green and Gary Neal combined for 51 points and Manu Ginobili dunked, twice, to bring the AT&T Center crowd to its feet.
James, who managed to score just 15 points on 7-for-21 shooting, was so demoralized, he did not even bother...
