Finals Game 1: Spurs vs Cavs Official Game Blog Thread

[Dirk Nowitzki]

:sleep :sleep The King is fucking around right now. The Cavs will pick it up.

[ObiwanGinobili]

did Bruce take the browns to the superbowl?

too many beans before the game.

[bdictjames]

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

I really need to go watch this on TV, but I cant.

[ambchang]

haha, Marion is not fishing, but he is doing something meaningful though.

[WalterBenitez]

Is there any Mavs' fan around :p:

[midgetonadonkey]

go spurs go

Fantastic post. I love your insight.

[romain.star]

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

so was i...

[Darkwaters]

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

Defense on James has been solid so far.

And with 2 fouls no less...

[Spurs Brazil]

Grab the damn reb

[midgetonadonkey]

Oh no. The next Scottie Pippen is in the game. We are done.

[ballhog]

Get a rebound...C'mon.

[703 Spurz]

:sleep :sleep The King is fucking around right now. The Cavs will pick it up.

You really have such a lovely life that you sit here and change your icon's favorite team every time we play a new series?

Holy fuck are you the biggest loser in the world

[Tek_XX]

Horry playing like shit.

[Corn on the Colb]

They are doubling James, but when he kicks it out like that, it leaves the backside open for a rebound.

Good finish by Varejao.

[Spurologist]

Long streches without TD and TP will never work out in the +/- column

[ObiwanGinobili]

brick.

[zwbgr]

I will say only one thing for now: LeBron who??

[Darkwaters]

Damn Fin...almost went down.

[ObiwanGinobili]

double teaming Manu? who da thunk

[SpursFanFirst]

:sleep :sleep The King is fucking around right now. The Cavs will pick it up.

Didn't you say you were rooting for the Spurs the other day?? :huh

[DDS4]

Eek...don't like this lineup at all.

[Spurs Brazil]

Flop

[ballhog]

Finley should postop that little ass Gibson.

[Ginofan]

Varejao seems a bit of a flopper.

[CubanMustGo]

Sideshow Bob flop gets the call against Oberto

[RuffnReadyOzStyle]

Fark. Make a jumper, fer christsake.

Now it's the TP show again.

[Darkwaters]

Manu...stupid foul.

[ObiwanGinobili]

2 misses by Findog. erg. dude needs to make that shot.

[Cry Havoc]

WTF is Duncan sitting for 5+ minutes for in the FIRST FREAKING QUARTER OF GAME 1!?!?!?!

[Budkin]

Spurs look like shit now... just getting lazy out there.

[Sweetey]

"Live by the 3's and DIE by the 3's." Forget the damn 3's for gawds sake !!

[MaNuMaNiAc]

Fuck Manu come on!!!

[midgetonadonkey]

When Eric Snow speaks, players listen.

[ObiwanGinobili]

tim rebounds. manu losses the damn ball to gibson?

[Admidave50]

we're sucking in Offense now!

[UV Ray]

Woot!

[ballhog]

Horry sucking hard.

[ObiwanGinobili]

Protect The Fucking Ball.

[midgetonadonkey]

Lebron is a fantastic passer.

[DudleyDawson]

Spurs are playing down to their competition again. Wake up!

[NuGGeTs-FaN]

Gibson is King, James is a choker :lol

[itzsoweezee]

spurs playing lackadaisical. need the ball in tony's hands.

[Cry Havoc]

Z going in. Spread the floor.

[MaNuMaNiAc]

man Manu is playing like SHIT!

[DudleyDawson]

Why is Parker shooting jumpshots? Just fucking hand the ball to LeBron next time.

[Spurs Brazil]

Fuck Manu

[Cry Havoc]

I actually like this. Missing 10 of 12, playing like hell, and we're still up 1, pending free throws.

Duncan with 2. Damnit.

[hitmanyr2k]

Ginobili is doing his best Stephen Jackson impression right now.

[ballhog]

What the fuck is Manu doing?

[Warlord23]

Manu is absolutely stinking it up today ... turnover after turnover

[CubanMustGo]

Spurs 0-fer-the second quarter and throwing the ball away left and right.

Sideshow Bob with yet another flop gets #2 on TD!

[ObiwanGinobili]

Stolen AGAIN.

protect. the. damn. ball.

[Cant_Be_Faded]

i hate ginobili so much

[DDS4]

Ugly.

[UV Ray]

Takin' the lead!

[Spurologist]

WTF manu.

Take care of the ball

[Leetonidas]

Does anyone plan on giving Tim the ball in the 2nd quarter?

[Budkin]

This game is turning into a piece of shit... we haven't scored this quarter.

[dbreiden83080]

Sit Manu down for god's sake he's killing us.

[DubMcDub]

Lebron 0-6 and Spurs only up 1 :lol

[RuffnReadyOzStyle]

Ugh.

Where did our team go?

Now they look like game 1 v Denver!?

C'mon Spurs, wake the fuck up.

[Supergirl]

Damn it, suddenly the Spurs can't buy a shot.

[01Snake]

Can we have some more turnovers?? jesus

[Tek_XX]

Manu needs to respect this team

[Admidave50]

Manu sucks so far

[MaNuMaNiAc]

we are playing so bad, so bad, that James has 2 points and we're only winning by 1... this is horrible!

[Budkin]

Parker is scared after getting clobbered.

[Aggie Hoopsfan]

Where the fuck is the pick and roll? We were getting any shot we wanted out of that, and Pop has abandoned it.

[Cant_Be_Faded]

varejeo's flopping is going to be key this series

[Leetonidas]

I'd rather have Barry on the floor at this point.

[Sweetey]

Spurs imitating the Jazz right now. Get off your lazy asses and start playing like Champions !

[dbreiden83080]

This game is turning into a piece of shit... we haven't scored this quarter.

They have to start playing inside out more, go to Timmy they are just taking jumpshots with hands in their face.

[midgetonadonkey]

The spurs will be droppin loads all over lebron's headband in the second half.

[Cant_Be_Faded]

Where the fuck is the pick and roll? We were getting any shot we wanted out of that, and Pop has abandoned it.



vaughn could not run it, he sucks so much ass, and ginboli can't eitiher cuz he's in total suck shit mode


parker's back in so we'll get back to it i bet

[WalterBenitez]

Lebron 0-6 and Spurs only up 1 :lol

and you are from? :lol

[Infamous]

varejeo's flopping is going to be key this series

Manu's flopping>Varejao's

[ObiwanGinobili]

I made a bet with Emo earlier today that if we lose this game we will win in 5, but if we win tonight we will win in 6.

[DubMcDub]

manu's flopping is going to be key this series

Fixed it for you.

[shadowofanubis66]

Maybe we just play good def..... meh why bother. Good solid game by both teams so far.

[Dirk Nowitzki]

Yes!! Fucking Cavs hanging in there with Lebron not in the flow yet. Duncan with 2 already! :) Spurs are in trouble!!!! :clap

[UV Ray]

Cavs play real 'D', not that cheap shot crap.

[Aggie Hoopsfan]

Seriously, what is with the iso sets for Gino, Finley, and Parker? We've already established the fact that Cleveland can't guard the pick and roll. Fuck them up with it already.

[Supergirl]

Manu is our energy guy, and he's bringing lots of it, lots of hustle - case in point: the race down court for an easy lay up in the first.

But his weakness is playing out of control, which makes him vulnerable to stupid turnovers. And I've seen 3 of them already in this game.

[ballhog]

When's the last time anybody made a shot?

[Corn on the Colb]

Spurs imitating the Jazz right now. Get off your lazy asses and start playing like Champions !

Ouch.

[Corn on the Colb]

When's the last time anybody made a shot?

Not sure, I fell asleep.

[Jimcs50]

I think TP is hurt from that fall...his shot does not look right since that fall.

[Spurologist]

Where the fuck is the pick and roll? We were getting any shot we wanted out of that, and Pop has abandoned it.

TP layed a brick on the last play. It was a pick n roll. Need more fucking motion. Too fucking predictable right now.

[ambchang]

The 1-week layoff really did it's thing. Well, same thing happened in 2005, started like crap in Game 1 against the Pistons, then once they got in sync, they just destroyed the opposition.

[midgetonadonkey]

Fixed it for you.

That is very true. His flops draw so many fouls.

[Budkin]

Pop needs to get this shit together... Spurs are playing like trash.

[iflyabeech]

Cavs play real 'D', not that cheap shot crap.

Here come the trolls

[ambchang]

What happened to Bowen again?

[Spurs Brazil]

Barry in

[Aggie Hoopsfan]

vaughn could not run it, he sucks so much ass, and ginboli can't eitiher cuz he's in total suck shit mode


parker's back in so we'll get back to it i bet

We haven't run it yet with Manu, so it's a moot point. And Parker has been back in for about two minutes now, but he's fallen in love with his fucking jumper out of the iso set.

Stupid.

[Tek_XX]

Brent Barry? Pop shaking it up.

[phxspurfan]

obiwan. very interesting bet. it has a ring of truth, as I see this very mush like the Nugs series

[PistonskillSpurs]

Pistons had fewest turnovers in league. Welcome to your nightmare Spurs fans. It's called eastern conference defense. Get used to it. I told you Spurs fans that this defense was made to beat the Pistons, and it was copied from the Pistons. You thought this would be easy, that Utah and Denver were tougher? Forget it.

[iflyabeech]

ha sideshow bob hacking tim

[daveNY]

Man, That Horry. To think he was booed when he was drafted...6 going for 7...

[Spurologist]

That's fucking better. Nice cut by TD

[Tek_XX]

I want to Robinson without a smile on his face.

[iflyabeech]

bowen took the browns to the superbowl

[midgetonadonkey]

What happened to Bowen again?

He is dropping a massive deuce.

[Budkin]

At least Tim is hitting FTs.

[DudleyDawson]

What's wrong with Duncan? Why is he making his free throws? I'm scared.

[phxspurfan]

Pistons had fewest turnovers in league. Welcome to your nightmare Spurs fans. It's called eastern conference defense. Get used to it. I told you Spurs fans that this defense was made to beat the Pistons, and it was copied from the Pistons. You thought this would be easy, that Utah and Denver were tougher? Forget it.


utah and denver are tougher. by far. better coaching and execution. typical american bball fan, not understading that superstars arent all that is good basketball.

[Corn on the Colb]

LMAO @ Varejao's 'spin move'.

[ambchang]

What is Varejao doing? He kept taking the Spurs 1-on-1. I don't mind though.

[midgetonadonkey]

Barry is useless.

[iflyabeech]

block......block....block...block------

[Spurs Brazil]

WTF Brent

[Budkin]

Come on Barry!!!!

[ObiwanGinobili]

Tim with 4 blocks :)

[bdictjames]

Spurs in offense now.

[Tek_XX]

Ok Barry just go in, no one in the NBA gets in your way.

[iflyabeech]

pinch it off B owen!!

[RuffnReadyOzStyle]

Aw, hell, where's our O execution gone???

Cut and pass, cut and pass.

[midgetonadonkey]

Lebron is biting his royal fingernails. That means trouble.

[phxspurfan]

wow finley misses a wide open three

[MaNuMaNiAc]

we're not going to win this playing like this! We ain't hitting shit!!

[DudleyDawson]

Spurs playing like crusty asshole right now

[UV Ray]

Yes!

[Spurs Brazil]

No FGs in the 2nd quarter

[Darkwaters]

We can't buy a FG right now.

[Budkin]

This is the worst I've seen us play all playoffs. WTF is going on!!!!

[Spurologist]

:pctoss

Fucking pathetic

[Death In June]

This is what happens when you give players a fucking month off before the finals.

[01Snake]

Wow! We look like ass.

[CubanMustGo]

Spurs with 2 pts in six minutes and still no FGs.

[WalterBenitez]

Spurs playing like crusty asshole right now

anything new?

[itzsoweezee]

spurs need to make some jumpshots. how many wide open shots are they going to miss?

[Aggie Hoopsfan]

Two points in over eight fucking minutes for the Spurs. This is a fucking joke. We've settled into four down again. Can we run a fucking pick and roll?

[Supergirl]

Breathe. Spurs won't keep missing wide open shot.

[RuffnReadyOzStyle]

Make a freakin shot already. Fark.

LeBron has to get over his fingernail chewing, makes him look like a chump.

[ATXSPUR]

Can somebody please tell me how the hell cleveland got a 3 point lead?

[dbreiden83080]

Have not made a FG in over 6 min, wake me up when the Spurs feel like playing.

[Jimcs50]

we have had 3 baskets waved off after offensive fouls

[phxspurfan]

ique lastima! all is lost

[fred33]

i think parker was hurt by pavlovic

[ObiwanGinobili]

Is Bowen getting a damn colonic back there?

[Tek_XX]

Did Pop prepare for this game? He may have to coach on the fly here.

[Corn on the Colb]

Where the hell are the Spurs I saw against the Jazz?

Why couldn't they have played like this?

[Death In June]

It looks no worse than the first round Nuggets game. No worse, but definetly on par.

[Admidave50]

fuck fuck! Spurs can't do shit so far in the 2nd!!

[SpursFanFirst]

:depressed Can someone please tell them that the game didn't end after the 1st? Thanks.

[ballhog]

Spurs only have 4 points since 2:45 left in the 1st quarter. Damn.

[Budkin]

I hope Pop is tearing these guys a new asshole right now.. Cleveland looks like shit and we are managint to play worse than they are. :pctoss

[Cant_Be_Faded]

Spurs Have Scored Two Fucking Points This Entire God Damn Quarter!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!! !!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!

[ManuTim_best of Fwiendz]

Spurs will shake off their rust, come 2nd half....

They really aren't executing like they did in the Utah series.

[Tek_XX]

Where the hell are the Spurs I saw against the Jazz?

Why couldn't they have played like this?

It was the Jazz.

[Lp26]

The Cavs always have strong 2nd quarters, and then absolutely suck in the 3rd.

[FuzzyLumpkins]

Is Bowen getting a damn colonic back there?

yeah thats what i want to know

[dbreiden83080]

Pick and roll and they are missing open shots at an alarming rate right now this is pissing me off.

[Warlord23]

Duncan being triple-teamed and the othes can't buy a bucket ...

[Nashfan]

This is the worst I've seen us play all playoffs. WTF is going on!!!!

It's called Cleveland playing defense. :)

[Sweetey]

Spurs are suckin a big one right now, BUT they will come out in the second half and rip the Cavs a new one !! Just settin up for the KILL !!!

[Budkin]

The Cavs are not this good defensively... this is pathetic.

[Spurologist]

The Corner Three is missing in action.

Damn. Either Bowen has an injury no one knows about or he's taking the longest douche in the history of man

[RuffnReadyOzStyle]

Two points in over eight fucking minutes for the Spurs. This is a fucking joke. We've settled into four down again. Can we run a fucking pick and roll?

Yup. Tim had two dunks in the first 4 mins off side pnrs, and then they went away from them. WTF???

We should pnr them to death.

[bdictjames]

Bring the ball down low to Timmy

[Dirk Nowitzki]

OH OH! SPURS IN TROUBLE NOW! HAHAHAHAHA :spin :spin

[DudleyDawson]

Weren't they promoting Fantastic 4 the last time the Spurs were in the Finals? At least we don't have to listen to Rob Thomas "This is how a heart breaks" every 5 fucking minutes. :bang

[ManuTim_best of Fwiendz]

It was the Jazz.
Cavs are a 1 man team.

Jazz were a two man team.

Cavs are better defensively cuz they have big bodies.

[Budkin]

The Corner Three is missing in action.

Damn. Either Bowen has an injury no one knows about or he's taking the longest douche in the history of man

Oh shit where the hell is Bowen?

[ballhog]

Can somebody please tell me how the hell cleveland got a 3 point lead?

Spurs sucking ass.

[Tek_XX]

Bowen sitting on the pot.

[Jimcs50]

Put Beno in, he will hit some outside shots....we need a spark.

[Aggie Hoopsfan]

I hope Pop is tearing these guys a new asshole right now.. Cleveland looks like shit and we are managint to play worse than they are. :pctoss

Someone needs to tear Pop a new asshole. The only thing we have run the second quarter is 1-4 iso sets and 4down (Tim post up). And our offense has stagnated.

We already established Cleveland can't defend the pick and roll. We have run it once the second quarter and it's resulted in our only two points of the quarter.

Pop is stuck on stupid right now.

[WalterBenitez]

For the record we are boring and sucks ... so far :D

[PB&J]

The Corner Three is missing in action.

:clap

[RuffnReadyOzStyle]

It's called Cleveland playing defense. :)

Bullshit. It's called Spurs shooters missing wide open buckets.

[phxspurfan]

LOL @ our spurs playing down to their opponents

[Spurs Brazil]

TP and one!!!!!!!!!!!!!!

[WalterBenitez]

HOly shit ... Tony !!!!

[ObiwanGinobili]

Yes!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!

[Budkin]

Finally!!!!

[ballhog]

TP finally hits!!!!

[Corn on the Colb]

How hard is it to beat the double on Duncan?

A few more of those and they can't double as heavily.

[iflyabeech]

Bullshit. It's called Spurs shooters missing wide open buckets.


Word

[Ginofan]

There you go Parker. Get it started.

[phxspurfan]

*lil jon voice* yeayeah!


parker for the and-1

[Cry Havoc]

me likey Tony Parker.

[Jimcs50]

We already established Cleveland can't defend the pick and roll. We have run it once the second quarter and it's resulted in our only two points of the quarter.

.

:toast

[Spurs Brazil]

Tp Again!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!

[RuffnReadyOzStyle]

That's better! Ball movement! See what happens when you move the ball?

[Budkin]

Ill take that.

[Corn on the Colb]

TP getting it started.

He really really sucks at free throws, though.

[ObiwanGinobili]

[WalterBenitez]

[Sweetey]

[NuGGeTs-FaN]

FRANKIE IS THE KING, Not Lebron :smokin

[Spurs Brazil]

[NASpurs]

Parker raping the Cavs.

[yeahone]

[Cry Havoc]

What about that incredible Eastern Conference defense?

Where the fuck are you fucking idiots?

[Aggie Hoopsfan]

Pick and roll and Duncan gets a dunk. That's what I'm talking about mother fuckers!

[Darkwaters]

I'm so happy we traded Tony Parker! That guy sucked!

[ObiwanGinobili]

LMAO @ varejao on the floor wishing he was getting a foul call.

[Ginofan]

Shit I wonder what Pop said in the TO.... IT WORKED!

[iflyabeech]

sweet.. and bruce dropped the duuce and is back..hjaja\

[WalterBenitez]

Tony ... is hot ... MVP!!! .... well so far ...

[DDS4]

You can only hope to contain......

[spursrocksocks]

jinx

[MaNuMaNiAc]

Tony FUCKING PARKER IS THE MAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAN!!!!

[ClingingMars]

GO SPURS GO

-Mars

[Spurs Brazil]

TP agressive = great stuff

[hitmanyr2k]

Varejao's flop gave up a wide open layup to Duncan. If I'm the coach I'm killin his ass verbally during the timeout.

[ballhog]

Varaejo flopping when his own man hits him. Shit. Funny.

[Budkin]

This is more of what I expected.

Totally!!!!

[SpursFanFirst]

I sure don't what Pop said to them, but I like it!!! :clap

[Sweetey]

SLAM DUNCAN !!!! Yeeessssssssss !

[Darkwaters]

Shit I wonder what Pop said in the TO.... IT WORKED!

Did you not see that clip on TV?

[Aggie Hoopsfan]

BTW, :lol where are the Elson hatas at now?

[Mr. Body]

Uhh.... Spurs just kicked it up a notch.

[Admidave50]

Tony is the man!! Come on Spurs!!
