8:40: 20 minutes! Will the Spurs take a commanding 3-1 lead tonight, or will the Heat come back with a vengeance?

8:59: Will announcers EVER give the Jordan-Bron comparisons a rest?

9:12: Chris Bostrich makes an early appearance with the game's first points.

9:13: By the way, is Popovich ever happy? The answer is no.

9:18: The Spurs' ball movement is a thing of beauty. Also, Danny Green is ice cold from downtown so far.

9:24: LeBron heads to the locker room during a commercial break. More cramps?

9:33: Apparently, LeBron just had to use the restroom.

9:38: A much lower-scoring first quarter draws to a close, Spurs leading 26-17.

9:47: Tim Duncan just got hyped over a Boris Diaw slam.... And then immediately returned to his default pensive gaze.

9.49: Danny Brown chips in.

9:50: Tony Parker has seen things, man.

9:52: Boris Diaw with the nicest behind the back pass while being doubled teamed in the post.

10:04: Parker just made another one of those I'm-falling-down-but-I'm-gonna-throw-it-in-the-direction-of-the-goal-and-make-it-anyway shots that he loves.
10:14: The Spurs have been in control of this game since the tip. They lead 55-36 at the half.

10:21: This past quarter also saw Duncan reach 8,852 playoff minutes.

10:27: Jalen Rose just quoted Outkast. But then again, who's surprised?

10:36: LeBron seems to be playing with a little more fire in the second half, scoring the Heat's first three baskets within the first three minutes.

10:39: LeBron continues to eat - already with 10 in the half at the 8 minute mark.

10:47 Boris Diaw takes advantage of a mismatch with Dwyane Wade, stretching the Spurs lead back out to 20.

11:01 Splitter with an athletically acrobatic finish fed by a hard Bonner drive. Everyone is surprised.

11:04 Kawhi really wanted to dunk on Birdman just now. Got fouled, missed. Spurs up 81-57 at the close of the third.

11:15: Spurs up 21. Popovich still unhappy.

11:30: Diaw is one basket, one rebound, and one assist away from a triple-double with 3:38 left.

11:36: At least the Heat fans can beat traffic?
