Heat have 7 players 33 or older. A few dont play much at all so dont really add into the mix of the game.
Spurs have 6 player under 25 dropping their avg a ton with two players only 21, almost the age of one Heat player Howard.
Heat is loaded with what I think are out of their prime "older" players like Howard, Lewis, Haslem and Battier.
Watching game two it appeared to me the Spurs had gas left while Miami players were exhausted out winded badly.
Miami roster average 30.0 and Spurs is 28.7, not much difference other then toss in a Heat player being a 40 year old and then toss in 2 Spurs players at being only 21 the avg is skewed.
This is what I was reading when I noticed the starters. Taking it a step further and adding up just the starting fives from Game 1, the Spurs still have the age edge. |
