Did the Spurs intentionally disable the air-conditioning at AT&T Center for Game 1 of the NBA Finals? For Brooklyn Nets guard Jason Terry, one should not discount that possibility.
Terry, who has had numerous battles with the Spurs through the years as a member of the Dallas Mavericks, implied there's a chance that the Spurs made that 'tactical move.' Terry was a guest on ESPN Dallas 103.3 FM's "The Afternoon Show with Tim Cowlishaw and Matt Mosley" where he made his suggestions.
As quoted by ESPN.com, Terry said: "You know what, Pop [Spurs coach Gregg Popovich] has done that so many times. I don't know if it's a conspiracy, but I'm telling you, going into San Antonio is a tough place to play."
He continued: "And I can remember very well one time where it was cold showers, there were about a thousand flies in the locker room. This year, there was a snake in the locker room. So, they're going to pull out all the stops to get into your head. When you go to San Antonio, expect something like that. And Miami fell victim to it."
The busted air-conditioning at AT&T Center caused Miami Heat superstar LeBron James to miss the crucial endgame of game 1, which the Spurs won on Thursday night.
Speaking from experience, Terry said he remembered games when his former team, the Mavericks, thought the Spurs left the air-conditioning a bit warmer than they would have liked. He also speculated that "For an event of that magnitude, to say that the AT&T Center's air-conditioning is not working -- there's definitely something wrong with that."
