[SpursFanFirst]

Good Luck Spurs!!!!! Kick some ASS!

Thanks...sure wish you guys were on the other end!

[SrA Husker]

CLEVELAND IS GOING DOWN!

GO SPURS GO!

[~Sweetmelody~]

I love Manu, and I'm glad he's so willing to come off the bench and all...but man, it just isn't right when they do the starting lineup, and he isn't a part of it :(


I have to agree. That felt weird.

[NASpurs]

Maybe they play Y'all Ready for This as some kind of tension breaker for the players because you know they're laughing in the inside. CIA Pop at work once again.

:smokin

[Jimcs50]

I love JVG as the analyst ...he is one of the best

[Tek_XX]

Thanks...sure wish you guys were on the other end!

Don't lie. Do you really?

[ObiwanGinobili]

if everybody hates the damn song write a fucking letter! complaining on a forum isn't going to change shit! Make your voice heard!


I wrote a letter after the 2003 finals, and I wrote a letter to the editor (sa express news) last year.

I'll do it again if it makes you happy.

[ClingingMars]

Thanks...sure wish you guys were on the other end!

And what a notable NBA career you had! :lol

[ObiwanGinobili]

Good Luck Spurs!!!!! Kick some ASS!

thanks! :toast

[Leetonidas]

that spurs announcer is so gay
No one is going to argue with you on that. The Spurs should hire Isaac Hayes as their PA announcer.

[Jimcs50]

And what a notable NBA career you had! :lol

:p:

[Jimcs50]

No one is going to argue with you on that. The Spurs should hire Isaac Hayes as their PA announcer.


No, James Earl Jones would be bad ass.

[RuffnReadyOzStyle]

DAYUM, I WISH I WAS THERE!!! :depressed

However, I just handed in my final papers for Uni this semester, and the Spurs are in the Finals AGAIN, so from this point on, everything is CREAM... :D :D :D :D :D

[Mr. Body]

The Spurs' PA budget goes to scouting the next Sergei Karaulov in Russia and the Ukraine.

[Ginofan]

I love High def basketball

Amen to that!

[MaNuMaNiAc]

I wrote a letter after the 2003 finals, and I wrote a letter to the editor (sa express news) last year.

I'll do it again if it makes you happy.well if you wrote one Obi then I wasn't referring to you

[Spurologist]

[ObiwanGinobili]

[Jimcs50]

My Maryland Terrapins punked Drew Goodens' Jayhawks for the 2002 NCAA championship, and my Spurs will send his NBA team home with 4 losses.

:smokin

[midgetonadonkey]

Larry Hughes is going to shut Parker down. :rolleyes

[hitmanyr2k]

Lebron traveled that first play. Shuffled his feet twice.

[ObiwanGinobili]

i have to say I liek the white T's with the Spurs wearign thier white uniforms... looks good.

[Spurologist]

Wtf Bowen

[ObiwanGinobili]

[hitmanyr2k]

I hate wasted possessions. My biggest gripe. Bruce Bowen a fadeaway off the dribble? :rolleyes

[Spurs Brazil]

Td Dunk!!!!!!!!!!!!!

[ObiwanGinobili]

Timmmmmay!

[rascal]

I thought the fans were going to wear black shirts for tonights game. What happend to the blackout? It looks just like white t-shirts with some writing on it, very lame.

[MaNuMaNiAc]

man Argie announcers SUCK!! they just refered to Duncan as "the Lithuainian" Fucking morons!

[Corn on the Colb]

My Finals analysis is going well so far:

Parker will burn Hughes repeatedly. :D

[midgetonadonkey]

Damn, Parker can't do shit against Hughes.

[Spurologist]

Tppppppppppppppppppppppppppppppppppppp

[SpursFanFirst]

Parker rocks!

[Ginofan]

back to back for TP

[ObiwanGinobili]

damn, I shoulda made this guacamole before the game started

[MaNuMaNiAc]

TP is burning it up out there! Great points! great assists! great everything!

[romain.star]

parker is up to somthing big tonight

[midgetonadonkey]

The sea of HEB logos looks good. Really pumping the crowd up.

[DDS4]

If Lebron is guarding Parker, the Cavs are in deep trouble.

[Corn on the Colb]

This is ugly execution on SA's part.

What's with vag-neck drilling a weird leaner?

[ObiwanGinobili]

man Argie announcers SUCK!! they just refered to Duncan as "the Lithuainian" Fucking morons!


:lmao

[Spurs Brazil]

Manuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuu in

[RuffnReadyOzStyle]

3 things:

1. Bruce, don't drive unless you have to.

2. The side picknroll is killing them.

3. Tony is pwning them AT WILL. Keep driving T!

[Pistons < Spurs]

Parker will be the Finals MVP this year.

[Spurs Brazil]

Td Bank!!!!!!!!!!!!!

[Ginofan]

Bank is Open.

[Corn on the Colb]

That bank shot is so freaking pretty.

[ObiwanGinobili]

I love how I can hear the crowd! "spin

[Jimcs50]

JVG saying that he just wants the hair on the back of Gooden's head...

:lol

[midgetonadonkey]

Uh-oh. The Cavs' lone "seasoned vet" is pissed. He will motivate the rest of the team.

[MaNuMaNiAc]

FUCK!!! come on!! what the fuck was that!!

[Corn on the Colb]

Ouchies on the Frenchie.

[ObiwanGinobili]

oh shit.

[Spurologist]

man Argie announcers SUCK!! they just refered to Duncan as "the Lithuainian" Fucking morons!

:lmao

[Ginofan]

Put on your fucking shirt Eva!!!

[ObiwanGinobili]

Eva can't wear the white shirt?? WTF?

[hitmanyr2k]

Obligatory Eva shot...with 65 gallons of makeup on.

[Spurs Brazil]

TP with a great start

[Jimcs50]

Put the tee shirt on, Eva!!!!

[Spurs Brazil]

Yest Td!!!!!!

[itzsoweezee]

[SpursFanFirst]

That bank shot is so freaking pretty.


But, "It's B-O-R-I-N-G." :lol
I'm not saying you've said that...

[ObiwanGinobili]

Is Spurschick at the game???
Someone call her and tell her to walk over there and tell Eva to put on the damn shirt!

[midgetonadonkey]

good game so far. i'm glad it's not the free throw fest i feared.

Just wait until the 4th.

[RuffnReadyOzStyle]

Jeezus, Breen is an idiot. Like you'd get cold feet if you were marrying Eva!?!? I couldn't seal the deal quickly enough! :lol

[romain.star]

[Spurologist]

Mark Jackson is the only commentator I know that can say the same thing 300 different ways

[ObiwanGinobili]

Cle 10 Sa16

[Ginofan]

Gotta love that block by Timmy!

[MaNuMaNiAc]

[Leetonidas]

[itzsoweezee]

[midgetonadonkey]

Lebron gave Duncan that block. No way Lebron can get any shot blocked. He is "The King".

[NASpurs]

So are they going to show Tim's block on LeBron on ABC/ESPN from now on?

[yeahone]

lol we look good so farrr

[bdubya]

Duncan is a witness

[Jimcs50]

Great teamwork D on Bron bron.....ending with a nice rejection by the Man.

[ClingingMars]

i like our offense so far...defense needs to step it up though

-Mars

[Corn on the Colb]

LeBron jumps really high, in commercials.

[hitmanyr2k]

This music to take us to commercial is lame. Sounds like music for a politician debate or something. Better than Pussycat Dolls though.

[yeahone]

lebron is so good that he makes timmy block him

[Tek_XX]

I think the ABC crew is doing their part to bring down the ratings.

[CubanMustGo]

Duncan: "Posterized my ass. Put this on a poster and shove it up your ass, 'bron"

[RuffnReadyOzStyle]

Tim is FOR REAL.

Love the way he nailed the FTs then said to LeBron:

"I just disrespected you, upstart mofo. Don't come down here no mo'."

[midgetonadonkey]

So are they going to show Tim's block on LeBron on ABC/ESPN from now on?

They will show it and say that the refs missed a big call.

[ObiwanGinobili]

Lebron gave Duncan that block. No way Lebron can get any shot blocked. He is "The King".


LeBron is so good...

he gives pity blocks/points?

[Ginofan]

Somebody start keeping track of all the LeBron commercials during the game.

[romain.star]

Lebron gave Duncan that block. No way Lebron can get any shot blocked. He is "The King".

would you please go fuck yourself?

[SrA Husker]

Die Nike.

[DDS4]

*insert gratuitous Nike/Lebron commercial at every commercial break*

[ObiwanGinobili]

Duncan: "Posterized my ass. Put this on a poster and shove it up your ass, 'bron"


"shove it up your chon chon, bron bron."

[RuffnReadyOzStyle]

i like our offense so far...defense needs to step it up though

-Mars

Wait until the 4th Q, that's when wqe bring out the lockdown.

[NASpurs]

[RuffnReadyOzStyle]

[Soul_Patch]

[ManuTim_best of Fwiendz]

Duncannnnn is doing gooooooddddd

[yeahone]

damn duncan look greattt its all about defense

[CubanMustGo]

Look how many times Cleveland is taking shots with <5 secs on the shot clock. That is called DEFENSE ladies and gentlemen.

[RuffnReadyOzStyle]

Gee, Bruce is doing a great job on James, and the timely help is wonderful.

No rust on this team! :D

[ClingingMars]

i like our offense so far...defense needs to step it up though

-Mars

Now it's the opposite x.x how strange.

-Mars

[Spurologist]

TD after the timeout

"That's what I'm talking about"

[AnotherArgie]

Caññññoooo!

[Infamous]

Manu bricked that wide open three point shot like crazy LMAO.

[yeahone]

its all about defesneeeeeeeeeeee

[MaNuMaNiAc]

LeBron is king, but Duncan is GOD!!

[jaespur21]

MANU went between his legs on that dribble

[dbreiden83080]

Little worried about Tony after he took that hit his shot looks off hope he is alright. D is great Offense could be a better Duncan is great right now on both ends.

[iflyabeech]

showin up who the fucking king is!!!

[Ginofan]

Anyone read Timmy's lips at the end there? "That's what I'm talking about" lol

[judaspriestess]

AWESOME NUTMEG GINOBILI DID ON lil boobie

[Budkin]

Tony looks off since that hard landing... hopefully he bounces back.

[Jimcs50]

TD needs a blow though...he is gassed

[DDS4]

Thank god LBJ is settling for jump shots and fadaways.

[Tek_XX]

i'd say this team is rested.

[Cant_Be_Faded]

this is going to be one of those spurs games where we play good defense and seem to be dominating the entire flow of the game but cleveland will still keep it close then give us hell in the fourth.


i've seen this pattern before.

[Corn on the Colb]

They need Beno, now.

[Spurologist]

Did Ginobili dribble through a defender's legs on that?

it looked that way.

Gotta get a better camara view ala tp on Okur

[duncan228]

Duncan means business.

[iflyabeech]

dvr showed it clean between his legs!!

[Aggie Hoopsfan]

Duncan is paying possessed. I love it.

[ClingingMars]

parker's play is starting to worry me

-Mars

[yeahone]

i tought bruce would have been abused by bron bron

[jaespur21]

Did Ginobili dribble through a defender's legs on that?
Yes Sir he did

[Budkin]

D has been pretty good, we need to pick up the O a bit.

[ManuTim_best of Fwiendz]

I was surprised Manu dribbled around all those defenders They were already back and ready for him.

[Tek_XX]

Thank god LBJ is settling for jump shots and fadaways.

I'm sure the idea is to get everyone else involved in the beginning.

[PB&J]

this is going to be one of those spurs games where we play good defense and seem to be dominating the entire flow of the game but cleveland will still keep it close then give us hell in the fourth.


i've seen this pattern before.

yeah, for as well as we seem to be playing, we don't have much of a lead. The cavs role players are stepping up right now.

[NASpurs]

Wow they're showing something else besides the Alamo and the Riverwalk.

[Corn on the Colb]

Stuart Scott got demoted or something?

[Darkwaters]

This freakin' sucks. We're in a tornado warning so we have a stupid map taking up 1/4 of the TV screen.

[ObiwanGinobili]

Jacque V??? wtf?

[RuffnReadyOzStyle]

DO NOT SHOOT, JV.

Man, oh, man. :rolleyes

[Corn on the Colb]

Jacque V??? wtf?

Took the words right out of my mouth.

[CubanMustGo]

Vaughn should NEVER take a shot. Period.

[Darkwaters]

Jacque V??? wtf?

Not the shot we wanted.

[iflyabeech]

vaughn shooting is gay

[Spurologist]

Need to get shooters involved

[Jimcs50]

Put Beno in!!!!

Vaughn sucks balls.

[Spurs Brazil]

Jv!!!!!!!!!!

[midgetonadonkey]

vaughn shooting is gay

It worked that time.

[Darkwaters]

Vaughn should NEVER take a shot. Period.

At least that one worked out...

[ObiwanGinobili]

Jacque V??? wtf?


ok. he did good.

[Jimcs50]

Put Beno in!!!!

Vaughn sucks balls.


nevermind

[Spurs Brazil]

Yes Horry!!!

[ObiwanGinobili]

ever spill beer in your guacamole... but it taste good??

[Tek_XX]

Manu too cute.

[Corn on the Colb]

LMAO!

That's the funniest exchange I've ever seen on this board.

[Darkwaters]

Thank God that they got THAT foul call right.

[Jimcs50]

we all retracted out critiques.


:lol

[iflyabeech]

where the fuck is bruce goin?

[Ginofan]

Where's Bruce going? Bathroom?

[Spurs Brazil]

Yes Manuuuuuuuuuuuuuuu

[Darkwaters]

LMAO!

That's the funniest exchange I've ever seen on this board.

That was pretty comical...

[Ginofan]

Nice draw Manu!

[yeahone]

defenseeeeeeeeeeeeee

[iflyabeech]

good charges boys..where the hell is bruce?

[ObiwanGinobili]

Offensive against james :tu

[spursrocksocks]

great flop manu!

[Darkwaters]

Cavs fan calls flop in 3...2...1....

[Leetonidas]

"What? They called a foul on ME? But I'm LeBron James!"

[DudleyDawson]

King James = piss poor ballhandler.

[midgetonadonkey]

That's not fair. You can't call that. Lebron is the King. He does not foul.

[Ginofan]

Man, I hope Manu quits this brickin' shit he has going on.

[yeahone]

we got the frist quarter guys 3 more to go

[ManuTim_best of Fwiendz]

Ginobili needs to light himself on fire.

[DDS4]

Both teams look pretty rusty.

[ObiwanGinobili]

end of 1st Sa 20 Cle 15
cle misses thier last 9 out of 10.

[dbreiden83080]

Tim good, Tony good, Manu terrible, the D good need to start making more open shots.

[Budkin]

Shitty quarter by the Spurs... and Bruce Bowen going to take a shit... come on Spurs!!!

[Sweetey]

good charges boys..where the hell is bruce?
Potty break !

[RuffnReadyOzStyle]

All the Cavs fans are no doubt yelling "Flop, flop flop!", but that was as big a charge as you'll ever see.

Love watching James overdribble the ball and put his team in trouble every possession. :lol

Good start, although we should be up by 10+

[Darkwaters]

Lets all make posters of the Duncan rejection of LeBron and hang them over the lockers of all the kids in Cleveland.

[romain.star]

That's not fair. You can't call that. Lebron is the King. He does not foul.

go fuck yourse..... sorry i can't help myself

[Aggie Hoopsfan]

Manu needs to knock off the jumpers for a while.

[ClingingMars]

offense desperately needs to step up, we cannot let them hang around like this and make the same mistakes Detroit made

-Mars

[Leetonidas]

Both teams look pretty rusty.
The Spurs looked awesome until Tony sat down.

[Budkin]

I don't like when only one of the big 3 is out there.

[Jimcs50]

great flop manu!


Flop!!????

You get hit by a 250 lb man and see if you stay on your feet.

:rolleyes

[Leetonidas]

go fuck yourse..... sorry i can't help myself
He's being sarcastic. :rolleyes

[bdictjames]

Spurs looking good so far?

[Budkin]

offense desperately needs to step up, we cannot let them hang around like this and make the same mistakes Detroit made

-Mars

Agreed... Manu needs to take shit to the hole soon.

[iflyabeech]

did Bruce take the browns to the superbowl?

[Warlord23]

Where is the offensive execution? They look really rusty out there...

[Aggie Hoopsfan]

go fuck yourse..... sorry i can't help myself

Hey beavis, it's called sarcasm. Lighten up.

[midgetonadonkey]

Lebron is so good he fouled out Bowen with his offensive foul.

[Cant_Be_Faded]

I don't like when only one of the big 3 is out there.



it only works if ginobili fucking drives to the rack


man ginobili only has good games w hen his first shot is a made layup

[RuffnReadyOzStyle]

D has been great, O was wonderful for first 6 mins, not so great after that.

[Infamous]

Ginobili has the best pump fake..ever.

[jaespur21]

4 Quarters!!!! We Need 4 Quarters!!!!!!!!

[ObiwanGinobili]

Manu needs to knock off the jumpers for a while.


agreed. He needs to drive it to the hole and sacrifice his body.

[CubanMustGo]

Spurs looking good so far?

Defense B+ (poor start)
Offense C (poor finish)

[Lp26]

Spurs, your defense is pretty. Yes i said pretty. LOL :depressed

[Spurologist]

I'll take Pavlovic being the cavs best player any time.

Defense on James has been solid so far.

[NuGGeTs-FaN]

Welcome to the West Lebron :smokin

[ambchang]

Cleveland is a very good defensive team, and closes out on the perimeter very well.
The Spurs are not playing well right now, the execution is spotty (credit to Cleveland), and the defense could be crisper, there are some cases where the Cavs just missed shots, have to minimize opportunities.

[Tek_XX]

Give Cleveland credit, their team is good defensivly.

[DudleyDawson]

Spurs go into lulls along with their opponents. If they could step on the gas while the other team is struggling we could really take control.

[bdictjames]

Both teams look pretty rusty.
Its still Game 1.

[yeahone]

go spurs go

[Darkwaters]

did Bruce take the browns to the superbowl?

Taking a shit isn't nearly as rare as THAT. Bad analogy.
