Top team in East meets best in West when Miami Heat, San Antonio Spurs clash Friday
The Miami Heat and the San Antonio Spurs will square off this weekend in a game between two of the best teams in the NBA. The Spurs have the best record in the NBA, but many people feel like the team to beat in the league during the playoffs will be the Miami Heat.
NBA Odds will be released Thursday night for this matchup.
The Spurs have not been quite as dominant as of late. Of their 10 losses on the season, three of the losses have come within the last 10 games. The Heat have really been on fire lately, winning 9 of their last 10 games.
The Spurs rely on a lot older players to carry their team. Not only is Duncan aging, but many of their role players are on the decline of their careers. It will be interesting to see if these players start to get tired after the all-star break and if the Spurs start to fall apart.
The Heat have a great chance at winning the Eastern Conference, but they will need to start off the 2nd half of the season with a solid win. When the Heat lose they tend to go on streaks of losses and they can’t afford to go on one of those streaks with the Celtics within their reach.
The Heat will need to limit the role that Tony Parker plays in this game. When Parker plays at a high level the Spurs are very difficult to beat. If Tony Parker fails to produce in this game the Spurs will need a big game from Manu Ginobli to have a chance in this one.
