Go Spurs!
I think that if you are good at anything, you should be able to play in any conditions. The crying on TV this morning over this was extreme and ridiculous. I am especially not sympathetic to their “hard life” with “D Day” Anniversary going on.
Some 30 years ago, the NBA championship was between the Boston Celtics and the LA Lakers. There was a game in Boston on a 95 degree day where the air conditioning couldn’t keep up, and it was a sweaty endurance contest that day, too.
Both teams had to play in the hot conditions including the Spurs who have a bunch of older guys on their team, one would think it would really affect them just as much. There’s no excuse.
Think of all the CO2 emissions that were not spent during the game. Utopia!
On a competitive note, San Antonia should just wait a few weeks to fix that air conditioning.
If you can’t stand the heat get outta the gym.
Why were LaBron’s legs the only ones effected? Everyone else was able to play to the end. Inquiring minds want to know…
Until a few years ago, Duke played in an unairconditioned arena, as did those who labored in Madison Square Garden. Are our athletes so spoiled today that they can’t play in less than perfect conditions?
Another 3rd World moment for America. Lights out at the Super Bowl. No A/C for an NBA Final.
Disgraceful.
The Heat got beat by the heat....LOL! ...read that somewhere else thought it was witty !
*ouch*
I’m no physics expert, but common sense tells me it was the same temperature for BOTH teams.
Last I checked, both teams had to play in the same conditions. Lebron cramped up, which is a sign of dehydration. Not fun and definitely can’t play through that. Tony Parker and Tim Duncan made it through. That’s why you play the game.
I don’t see it as an embarrassment. It can happen to any large facility at any time. The game was interesting and crisp. High level basketball. I enjoyed every second of it. Too bad it wasn’t Thunder vs Heat.
It was a close game. The Heat were actually winning until about 6 minutes left in the 4th.
Then LeBron got tired. He headed for the showers.
And the Spurs won!
Double plus good loving it!
NBA Championship is over. Spurs won by beating OKC Thunder.
Unless something strange and tragic befalls the Spurs, the championship is already over.
Let the whining begin. GO SPURS!

LeBron never played a pickup game on a 95 degree summer day? Did he break a nail? Sheesh.
Serves those Trayvon-lovers right.
Oh, how dreadful! The professional boogie-ball players had to play without air conditioning! I’m surprised they didn’t strike.
These spoiled whiners are the men we hold as “sports heroes???”
If you like your air conditioning you can keep your air conditioning!
