The rematch is upon us. Jakub Vrana Jersey . The San Antonio Spurs and Miami Heat will meet for the second consecutive year in the NBA Finals, starting tonight at AT&T Center. The 2013 NBA Finals went seven games, a series that went down in history as one of the all-time greats. Watch it live on TSN and TSN GO and listen to it on TSN Radio at 8pm et/5pm pt. Last year in Game 6, the Spurs were three clear with five seconds left and staff at Miamis AmericanAirlines Arena started roping off areas in anticipation for a celebration. Ray Allen hit a circus 3-pointer to tie it. The Heat prevailed in overtime to force a Game 7, which Miami won by seven in South Beach. San Antonio was literally seconds away from a fifth title in franchise history, all, not so coincidentally, under the leadership of Tim Duncan and head coach Gregg Popovich. The boss was extremely proud of this group. "I think they showed an unbelievable amount of fortitude," Popovich said after clinching a berth in the Finals. "If I can compliment my own team humbly, to have that tough loss, especially the Game 6, and not have a pity party, and come back this year and get back to the same position. I think thats fortitude, and Im really proud of them and even happier for them." And the Spurs welcome the challenge of taming the Heat and exacting revenge. "Weve got four more to win, and well do it this time," boasted Duncan. "Were happy its the Heat again. Weve got that bad taste in our mouths still." That sort of bravado is a little out of character for the mild-mannered Duncan, but perhaps the best illustration of how much the Game 6 loss still hurts. And, its also a testament to the Spurs focus. "They dont like us, they dont. I can sense it from Timmys comments over the last couple of days," LeBron James said after practice on Monday. "They wanted this, they wanted us and well be ready for the challenge. "They wanted us, they got us." This is the first Finals repeat since the Chicago Bulls and Utah Jazz both made it in 1997 and 1998. Chicago of course won both of those to complete its second three-peat. A win in this series and the Heat would earn three consecutive titles. The Los Angeles Lakers turned the same feat in between Michael Jordans Bulls and James Heat, but this Miami group is the first to reach four consecutive Finals since the Boston Celtics did it from 1984-87. "Im in the moment, I dont really think about it," said James. The Heat clinched their spot in the championship round first. They knocked off top-seeded Indiana in six games in the Eastern Conference Finals after sweeping Charlotte in the first round and needing five games against Brooklyn. The Spurs moved on with a Game 6 overtime victory over Oklahoma City Saturday night. San Antonio was pushed to a Game 7 in round one versus Dallas, but handled Portland in five games in round two. It was in the Dallas series Tony Parker injured his ankle. He sprained it and the All-Star sat out the second half of San Antonios clinching Game 6 victory over the Thunder. Thanks to four days of rest, Parker declared himself ready to go for Game 1 Thursday, but the injury could linger. "Im trying to be very positive, trying to do everything I can, eat healthy, get my rest, do all the treatment. I just trust my body," said Parker. "I had little stuff, wear and tear, but Im still here and I trust my body to hold up for the whole series." The two sides split two regular-season meetings with the home team prevailing both times. Including last years Finals, the Spurs are 5-2 in their building against the Heat, but Miami has won four straight over San Antonio and seven of their last eight at AmericanAirlines Arena. In looking for differences from last years Finals to this years, the format might be the biggest change. The NBA implemented a 2-2-1-1-1 format for this Finals as opposed to the 2-3-2 version of a year ago. Also, Miami had homecourt advantage in 2013 and this year it belongs to San Antonio, which finished with the best record in the NBA. Dale Hunter Jersey . But history aside, theyre still happy to participate in the Par 3 contest, traditionally held on the day prior to the first round of the Masters. Brooks Orpik Jersey . "Well over 50 (per cent)," coach Claude Noel said Tuesday after practice, where the Jets were looking at ways to cut down the scoring chances theyve been giving away. http://www.authentichockeyshopcapitals.com/authentic-nathan-walker-capitals-jersey/ . Correia pitched six innings of one-run ball, Eduardo Escobar homered, and the Minnesota Twins pulled away late to beat the Colorado Rockies 9-3 on Saturday.BARCELONA, Spain -- Odion Ighalo scored two goals to guide Granada to a 2-0 win at second-division Alcorcon on Sunday, giving the topflight side a commanding lead in its Copa del Rey tie. Also in the round of 32, seven-time winner Valencia was held to a 0-0 draw at third-division Nastic Tarragona, while Espanyol needed a late goal from Christian Stuani to secure a 2-2 draw at second-division Real Jaen. Almeria did take care of business and struck three times in 11 first-half minutes to earn a 3-1 victory at second-tier Las Palmas. Ighalo headed in Fran Ricos free kick to open the scoring for Granada on the half-hour mark, and the Nigerian striker added a second goal in the 81st minute after expertly wrong-footing his marker on the break. Alcorcon striker Francisco Peral wasted the hosts best chance in the 71st when he sent the ball off the crossbar from the edge of the six-yard box. Other than those few scoring opportunities, the match was a scrappy, defensive struggle at the Santo Domingo Stadium where in 2009 the unknown Alcorcon humiliated Real Madrid 4-0 in the cup competition while in the third division. "It wasnt easy to win 2-0 here because Alcorcon is a team with a lot of tradition," Granada coach Lucas Alcaraz said. "It was a much more complicated game than just any other league match because we play at another pace in the first division and Alcorcon is always a very difficult rival." Valencia was fortunate not to head back to Messtalla with a loss after being outplayed by Nastic, whose pair of Ivory Coast forwards Junior Wakalible and Jean Luc Gbayara ran amok in the visitors defence. Jaromir Jagr Jersey. Valencia will miss Brazilian striker Jonas for the return leg against Nastic after he was dismissed with a second booking in the 87th. Espanyol appeared to be in control after midfielder David Lopez scored a rebound in first-half injury time, but Jaen rallied to take the lead after Sidnei scored an own goal in the 65th and Jozabed Sanchez netted five minutes later. The match swung back to finally favour Espanyol when Stuani headed in a corner kick with two minutes to play to give his team the away-goal advantage entering the return leg. Almeria striker Oscar Diaz scored two goals to fuel its big win in the Canary Islands. Diaz controlled a cross by Raul Garcia behind Las Palmas passive defence to open in the 16th. Almerias Aleix Vidal pounced on a poor back pass by Las Palmas to make it 2-0 in the 22nd, and four minutes later Diaz converted a penalty kick when Ramon Azeez was fouled in the area. Almerias Christian Fernandez was sent off with a second yellow card in the 61st. Nauzet Aleman pulled one back for Las Palmas in the 74th with a free kick before seeing a direct red card in the 81st for kicking an opponent, meaning he too will miss the second leg. Later, Malaga hosts Osasuna in the days only matchup of first-division sides. The return legs will be in two weeks time.
