Just when you think Ginobli is in the twilight days of his Hall of Fame career and Greg Pop should cut his minutes indiscriminately; what does Pop go and do? He sticks him in the starting lineup and Manu returns to the Manu Spurs fans have come to know and love. The Spurs cruise to victory behind the play of Ginobli and the shooting of Danny Green who apparently has no idea that he is in the NBA finals, breaking Ray Allen's record for most three-pointers made in the finals. Also, the severity of Tony Parker's "hamstring injury" was clearly overplayed as he looked as spry as he did in 2001 when he joined the Spurs establishment. Let’s see what else... San Antonio's Big 3 were solid, Manu remembered how to handle the ball, and Green shot the lights out again... oh yea that's right, the Heat also played in this game (if you call that playing). There has been a lot of talk about the Heat "flipping the switch" when they need to, most evident following a loss. However, they can't seem to string together two wins in a row which makes for a great story as the Heat need to win two in a row in Miami to clinch. How effective is this switch? While people talk about how the Heat have not lost back-to-back games since January, well newsflash, the Spurs have not lost back-to-back games since December. So if the Heat take game 6 the odds say the Spurs will take game 7. If the Heat actually do believe that there is a switch they can flip against the San Antonio Spurs they are sadly mistaken. This a tried and true team, and if the Heat plan on winning two straight they are going to have to play all out balls to the wall basketball from opening tip to the final buzzer. No excuses win or go home and hit switches on your 64’ impala.

Game 5: There has been a reported Ginobli sighting- the Silver Fox strikes again
Unfortunately I was unable to view game 4 but in looking at the box score,
the Heat returned to the Heat team that won 27 straight games. The Big 3
accounted for 85 of the Heat points, but could they replicate that performance
in tonight's game and get back-to-back victories? The answer is no.
