Spurs vs Cavs Game Blog

[Spurologist]

3 pg lineup. what is pop pulling here?

[carina_gino20]

no sign of horry at all?

[boutons_]

Spurs can't get a stop, Cavs can't miss.

[boutons_]

Cavs +19 shots, +5 RBs

[sanman53]

Dang, 6 to 16 off. rebs!

[RashoFan]

Fin going to the line...#1 is bad #2 is good Cle 89 Spurs 7 7 4:05 left

[Brutalis]

if we had hit our fts in this game, it would be a GAME. this crap is over.

[TwoHandJam]

Stop the presses. Finley did something.

[Tek_XX]

Finley underacheiving is really pissing me off

[1Parker1]

Daaaaayum, Lebron has 38 points against the Spurs defense? Major props to him, when was the last time a player scored 38 against Bowen?

[RashoFan]

someone left the back door open and James just strolled up to the basket for 2 pts he has 40 total

[Amuseddaysleeper]

we need to make a trade for someone who can rebound. this is one of the worst rebounding teams i've ever seen in my life. getting worked on the boards night in and night out just isn't gonna give you much of a chance to win :pctoss

[carina_gino20]

Finley not giving up.. Go Spurs!!!!!!

[bendmz]

time to get all the scrubs in

[Brutalis]

we can hit all the three's we want. we obviously dont know how to play defense.

[Amuseddaysleeper]

its great that finley hit a 3 but are we just gonna keep trading baskets?!?!?! cuz there's only 3:32 left in the game

[Spurologist]

Finley has always been a volume shooter, but he can get hot

[RashoFan]

Manu lost the handle and Lebron just scooped it up for another2 pts 95 Cavs Spurs80

[carina_gino20]

damn...what an ugly game.

[boutons_]

Spurs blow their chance for first undefeated RRT.

[Manu20]

18 offensive rebounds for the Cavs!! :pctoss :pctoss :pctoss :pctoss :pctoss :pctoss :pctoss

[carina_gino20]

Spurs just not getting it done.

[bendmz]

not bad, 6-1 RRT......

[boutons_]

fuck fuck fuck

Tim isn't challenging James on those layups.

[Amuseddaysleeper]

also dallas looks to drub the knicks so there goes our "momentum" from yesterday's games. i knew this was gonna happen

[NZHayden]

late check in. go spurs

[kolko]

Lebron 42 pts

[doldrums]

why is beno who is 3-3 not taking open 3's?

[TwoHandJam]

Why did Pop pull Nazr? We can't buy a rebound about the Cavs. Getting jobbed on the glass by Detroit was no fluke. It's a real problem that needs to be addressed.

[yavozerb]

Man, the spurs D sucks right now..........Lebron has had about 7-8 lay ups this quarter alone!!!!!!!!!

[gospurs21209]

it is ok... we are on a back 2 back and pop does not seem too pissed. streaks have to end sometime.

[Spurologist]

also dallas looks to drub the knicks so there goes our "momentum" from yesterday's games. i knew this was gonna happen

fuck fuck fuck

[gospurs21209]

no basket.......................
WTF

[Supergirl]

According to Yahoo Spurs have 18 turnovers to Cleveland's 5. That's pathetic.

[bendmz]

:lmao

[boutons_]

Fuck LeBron, he's turning into just another tatooed balla with a bloated head.

[carina_gino20]

the turnovers keep a piling up and Lebron Slammed the door on us...

[MI21]

Cleveland @ home on the 2nd night of a back to back is incredibly tough. Especially after the previous what, 5/6 games being on the road?

I wouldn't expect the Spurs to beat Cleveland under that scenario even if fully healthy. LeBron is just to good.

[gospurs21209]

we are playing like shit though

[HB22inSA]

Spurs finally got "caught" playing like shit.

Except this time they were playing a good team which exposed that weakness.

[1Parker1]

On the bright side: This lost could mean the Spurs are gonna kick serious Butt Wednesday when I see them against Philly!!!!! :elephant :elephant

[gospurs21209]

the mav fans are going to come in here talking shit

[gospurs21209]

i know it

[Willinsa]

Can someone stop Lebron.

[HB22inSA]

Fuck LeBron, he's turning into just another tatooed balla with a bloated head.
Ha ha, you're just bitter.

You'd act the same way of you just hit 19-33 FG against the Spurs for 44 points.

[sanman53]

At least we are leading in the TurnOver column.

[RashoFan]

Spurs finally got "caught" playing like shit.

Except this time they were playing a good team which exposed that weakness.
Then we can chalk this up to a learning expirence(sp?) and move forward

[MI21]

Fuck LeBron, he's turning into just another tatooed balla with a bloated head.

Yeah, tattoo's are bad man. Being a balla is bad too. Plus, he isn't even very good so he doesn't have the right to be cocky.

Fuck sake.

[bendmz]

someone put the game clock on fast forward....

[Tek_XX]

The spurs suck period. Our record is very decieving, what happens if Tony doesn't show up in the playoffs, we are DOOOMED, you hear me DOOOOOOOOOOOOOMMED

[ducks]

Spurs Held The Little James To 81 Points The Last 4 Games

James Is Way Bigger Then Bowen And This Long Road Trip Caught Up To Him Guarding Him


The Refs Took Tp Out Of The Game


Clutch Three's By The Spurs Which Is Encouraging
The Only Thing Is They Could Not Get A Stop Late

[TwoHandJam]

the mav fans are going to come in here talking shit
There are Mav fans? :lol

[1Parker1]

Spurs finally got "caught" playing like shit.

Except this time they were playing a good team which exposed that weakness.


Cleveland is not that great of a team. If Parker hadn't scored 15 points below his season average and if Manu wasn't in foul trouble the almost the ENTIRE game, Spurs could stil have managed to win this game. :tu

[ducks]

Tp Has One Bad Game And No Everyone Thinks He Sucks
Please

He Has Been The Most Consistant Spur This Season

[Rummpd]

1Parker1 do you live in Philly area?

From Wayne, PA myself.

[sanman53]

It was a nice winning streak! Time to begin another one!

Congrads Cavs!

GO SPURS GO!

[Pistons < Spurs]

At least we are leading in the TurnOver column.


LOL

[RashoFan]

end of the game CLE 101 SPURS 87

[Tek_XX]

Then we can chalk this up to a learning expirence(sp?) and move forward

Learning experience? They know all they need to know about basketball, they just didn't bring it.

[gospurs21209]

Who Is Tek....... We Are Not Doomed

[ducks]

Fuck LeBron, he's turning into just another tatooed balla with a bloated head.


I COULD HAVE TOLD YOU THAT 4 YEARS AGO WHEN HE COULD NOT WAIT TO GET HIS HUMMER WITH 7 TVS SO HE GOT HIS MOMMY TO GET A LOAN FOR HIM BEFORE HE GOT PAID A PENNY FROM THE CAVS

[HB22inSA]

Check page 3.

Spurs are so predictable...


If Duncan keeps playing this well, The Spurs will lose by double digits.

...

[Pistons < Spurs]

101-87.....damn I predicted 99-88

[TwoHandJam]

Oh well, we had a good run. The Cavs were a dog that had been kicked too many times lately and they needed a win. Sucks that we had to catch them on a back-to-back. I'll give TP a pass for this game since he's been so good all year.

[HB22inSA]

Oh well, we had a good run.

Who's we?

Are you a player?

[RashoFan]

Learning experience? They know all they need to know about basketball, they just didn't bring it.
Well I hope they learned that THEY NEED TO BRING IT.... :lol Seriously, they will be watching the tapes and see what all they need to improve on...

[Dre_7]

Check page 3.

Spurs are so predictable...



...

Youre an idiot. :lol

[MI21]

This is Tony's lowest scoring game of the year, and only his 3rd in single digits.

Pretty much the difference in the game, along with an opposing swingman actually doing better against the Spurs than his averages against the Spurs, which just never happens.

[Tanya]

LBJ is crazy.
Wade+Shaq hardly win a good team.
LBJ alone can win a good team.

Too bad the pistons will have to face Cavs in second round. ><

[doldrums]

Learning experience? They know all they need to know about basketball, they just didn't bring it.

It's difficult to win 7 straight road game. Give it a break, they will lose every once in awhile

[gospurs21209]

shit....... mavs are killing the knicks. oh well. the mavs still are not as good as the spurs

[hussker]

Welcome to the Woodshed...Oh well, we'll get em next time!

GSG!!!

[carina_gino20]

we've played some close ones, and pulled through as different guys stepped up to play. Tonight we were just caught playing without any juice. Timmy goes hot in the first then disaapears in the 2nd. Tony has 5 points and 5 turnovers. Manu has 11 pts but was in foul trouble for too much of the game to become a serious threat. Bruce can't do anything about James. They get 14 offensive boards, we shoot bricks from the field and from the line...and then the turnovers. The team was just missing out there tonight and Cavs did a good job exploiting our weakness.

[SouthernFried]

Bad game...move on.

TP...love ya man...keep working on that jumper.

[ploto]

Turnovers are the main thing that killed us: 18 to 5. Parker with 7 and Manu and Nazr each with 3.

[TwoHandJam]

Who's we?

Are you a player?
Yeah, I'm Mengke Bateer but I still live vicariously through the Spurs. Wanna see my ring?

[doldrums]

LBJ is crazy.
Wade+Shaq hardly win a good team.
LBJ alone can win a good team.

Too bad the pistons will have to face Cavs in second round. ><

hardly win?? oh you mean beat.

[HB22inSA]

It's no secret how to beat the Spurs now.

Keep Parker out of the lane and he retreats into his shell.

Wait, didn't Phil Jackson do that in 2004...???

[boutons_]

I've seen James not show up in game, and disappear late in plenty of games.
He's sailing along on enormous talent, but he's not a tough player, yet.

[Trifecta]

Tp Has One Bad Game And No Everyone Thinks He Sucks
Please

He Has Been The Most Consistant Spur This Season




It was our lack of rebounding and our turnovers that did us in tonight!

Our defensive presence reminds me of yesterday's game in which we rolled out the red carpet for the Pacers and provided escorts for them on their way to the basket!

We cannot afford to play soft "Seattle" defense in the middle!

[Pistons < Spurs]

I've seen James not show up in game, and disappear late in plenty of games.
He's sailing along on enormous talent, but he's not a tough player, yet.

Agreed. The talent is obviously there, but he has definetly dissapeared many times in crunch time. Give him time though......

[Slo spurs fan]

Free Beno...

[NZHayden]

Fuck!

[lilmads]

:(
TP totally sucked tonight.. 4 points... What an AS! Ah well, he'll make up for it I'm sure

[bendmz]

just getting ready for the second season......

[Quasar]

Yep... 18 turnovers to cleveland's 5, resulting in them having 92 shots while Spurs only had 65...

There is no way they could've won with the opposing team having almost 50% more shooting opportunities.

Really bad game.

It's been a worrying trend that the assists are considerably down this year though...

[ABDENOUR POWER]

Whew, feels good to have at least a little bit of a cushion from your Spurs again.

[MaNuMaNiAc]

Was Tony hurt or something? When was the last time he had such a bad game? 4 points and 7 turnovers in 32 minutes? I'm worried, something must be wrong, this is not like him

[Chewbacca]

AAAAAAAAAAAAAAARRRRRRRRRRRGGGGGGGGGGGGGHHHHHHHHH!! !!!!!!!

[TDMVPDPOY]

fuckn disgrace

[Stacis_pistons_rock]

LBJ is crazy.
Wade+Shaq hardly win a good team.
LBJ alone can win a good team.

Too bad the pistons will have to face Cavs in second round. ><

you talk as if cavs are some sort of threat to pistons in the playoffs,the team doesn't know the 1st thing about playoffs,it's not like regular season games where you can get lucky wins you gotta earn every win cause they wanna win as bad as you do it's due or die!the real contender's and good teams will show their true colors!last yr if i recall cavs were on a pretty good streak in 1st place for a margin of the year and second half when teams were playing harder for position for the playoffs cavs slipped out of the playoff race.theirs no reason to belive they wont do it again inless they prove otherwise you must earn respect to get it and it's way to early.spurs were due for a loss and this isn't a bad loss not off a back to back,i'm sure this is a eye opener for the spurs which they need.this is the regular season and you get these kinda games 50+games is alot and it happens.your not 40-11 for nothing!and cavs are not 30-21 for nothing.

[angel_luv]

Philly will pay for this. That is all. :D

[mavsfan1000]

Cavs have no chance of winning this game.
I had to do this to you. :lol

[angel_luv]

I couldn't watch it all very closely because I was working. But I was impressed with how the guys were still out there fighting even at the end.

Props to Beno. He did really well with his minutes.
He was perfect from arc! :elephant
Sho had a nice game too.
3 of 5 from the field. Four Rebounds. Two Assists! :elephant and a blocked shot.

[milkyway21]

gee we lost?

anyway,i bet for a 7-1 Rodeo Road trip. so, they have to win against Philly and I get my $$$$$$.

i'm not disappointed that we lost, I am more disappointed Horry's on IL again:cry because of abdominal strain.

get well soon Rob!

[LittleGeneral]

Sucks the Spurs lost.

Always absolutely hilarious to see Lebron stick it right to ducks as he did yet again tonight though.

[T Park]

They lost.

Good grief end the world.


Parker had a bad night. Its called, DUE.

They were all DUE for a bad game.


Gauranteed thats what Pop said.

Toss the game film in the trash, move onto Philly. That simple.

[adrien]

Spurs win easily:

Spurs 101
Cavs 87

Good prediction dude. Got the wrong winners though. :depressed

[gospursgojas]

Lost 80000 vBookie :depressed
