Hearing that San Antonio intentionally turned the A/C off and had IV's at halftime for their players. It was a ploy to grab game one. As one official reported, the lights and electrical systems were not affected and that there are backup generators. Crazy!
SanAntonio turned the Heat off

No excuse for not being able to perform in a little heat. Just like it was pathetic that our football team couldn't play in the cold.

I know for a fact that they DID have cooling fans in the San Antonio locker room at halftime that were NOT in the Heat locker room.

The players from the Celtics/Lakers series of the 80s from Boston Garden don't care.

I don't know if it is true or not, it was being reported on several media outlets. Also, it is factual that the Spurs had cooling fans and ice packs and dry ice in their locker room at halftime and they had IV's all ready for the team. Just seems suspicious. Pop is a brilliant coach. Who knows? Just a shame that you have a multi-billion dollar industry, and are playing their premier game and you have the everything in place, including backup generators and the Air does not work. A little strange!
Way i see it, it was the same for all involved
Celtics played without A/C for years and years.
I would order A/C turned off and prove to the world that the Heat can indeed take the heat.

Boston is much cooler than San Antonio. Apples and oranges.

The Boston Garden was actually much hotter. Had you listened to the broadcasters during the game you would know this. It was referenced and discussed at length.
the difference with that situation was that players were aware of it ahead of time.....so they would be prepared.
that's interesting, in the nfl, home teams must provide to the opposition what they provide for their own. Fans, heat, etc. i would have to think that the nba has the same rule.
Heard from a regular college analyst who head coached in the big ten and the pac say that he absolutely believes pop was behind the AC deal. He has known pop for years and would not be surprised at all. no proof, he is just basing on knowing pop for years and years.
It's simply one of those games when a team zones out of its mind... There wasn't a whole lot the heat could do to defend a team shooting over 75% in the first half. I mean hell the damn Spurs set an NBA Playoffs Record for first half field goal %...
