Finals Game 1: Spurs vs Cavs Official Game Blog Thread

[Tek_XX]

ABC going for the middle aged white viewer with these commericals.

[duncan228]

So wait, they played the same Tim-Pop thing during 2005 Detroit Finals right?

Most of it was on the '05 Championship DVD.

[Soul_Patch]

or its the exellent cavs defence?


nice spelling there junior.


and yea cavs play some decent defense...but the spurs shooters are getting wide open looks and simply missing them. they start hitting and this is a blow out.

[Darkwaters]

I've seen that before.

Me too...being a Hornets season ticket holder and picking up your garbage in free agency!

[RuffnReadyOzStyle]

They are NOT playing well.

Trust me.

See, Colb understands the Spurs now after watching them dismantle his team. ;)

No offence, guy, love that you stuck around.

[Mr. Body]

or its the exellent cavs defence?

Not really. They are playing good defense, but the Spurs are missing shots they're wide open on.

[Darkwaters]

They just replayed the play when Varejao flopped when his own man hit him.

[RuffnReadyOzStyle]

or its the exellent cavs defence?

Um, no. we missed at least 10 open jumpers. We'll start hitting them some time soon.

[thewatcher]

[iflyabeech]

King OFer meets King Timmy!!!! Tim had some badass blocks huh?

[ObiwanGinobili]

or its the exellent cavs defence?

Cavs are playing good D.
AND Spurs are also no playing well. this is some pretty shitty play by the Spurs.

[Darkwaters]

The team defense has been very good

[mavsfan1000]

I gotta admit it was hard to root for the Spurs as a Mavs fan but they got some good guys on their team. I will forever be a mavs fan but in this series I gotta root for the Spurs. Lebron is an incredible player though. Bowen's doing a great job on him. I hope you accept me being on your side.

[Corn on the Colb]

See, Colb understands the Spurs now after watching them dismantle his team. ;)

No offence, guy, love that you stuck around.

Oh no, I can accept getting beat down when we got beat down. How else do you explain it?

Thanks for the love. I love these boards. You guys don't solely talk about the Spurs. Not sure if it changes when the trolls get bored and leave during the summer, but I hope it's like this all the time.

[CubanMustGo]

Lebron will get his this half, book it.

[baseline bum]

MY FIRST LANGUAGE IS SPANISH

In that case, vete a la chingada, pendejo

[Jimcs50]

[Corn on the Colb]

Lebron will get his this half, book it.

Steve Javie you get back on the court!

[Spurs Brazil]

[CubanMustGo]

[ObiwanGinobili]

after 6000+ posts we are kinda obliged to.

[Corn on the Colb]

Damn the Jazz need an Oberto.

Hustle plays. Nice.

[spursrocksocks]

[Spurologist]

OBERTO OFF REB.

TD with the AND1: ASSIST OBERTO

[Jimcs50]

[thewatcher]

VOS PRIMERO

[Cry Havoc]

Duncan is just amazing.

[RuffnReadyOzStyle]

That was all Fabs. Great pass.

[ObiwanGinobili]

damn missed FT.
yeah rebound.

[Cry Havoc]

James misses a 3.

[Mr. Body]

Finley can't hit a damn thing. Should just keep shooting.

[Corn on the Colb]

LeBron.... Pure shooter.

[Admidave50]

Finley is cold since his first FG

[iflyabeech]

King ofer oucho with the turnover

[Spurs Brazil]

Spurs Ball!!!!!!!!!!!!

[ObiwanGinobili]

Yes!!!

[WalterBenitez]

wassup boys?

[Cry Havoc]

Hehee, James drops it off his leg. Noice.

[Spurologist]

Pick N Roll Tp

[Corn on the Colb]

Finley is cold since his first FG

He's having the Okur game.

[NuGGeTs-FaN]

Bowen should have been DPOY :smokin

[Darkwaters]

Stop the turnovers!!!!

[Corn on the Colb]

It's the patch of hair.

Trust me.

[Aggie Hoopsfan]

Tony passes while the shot clock runs out :pctoss

[Mr. Body]

Spurs too lackadaisical on offense.

[Darkwaters]

Bowen should have been DPOY :smokin

Agreed

[midgetonadonkey]

Oberto needs to shave his head and leave a patch of hair on the back.

[UV Ray]

LBJ 0-8 and only down 5?

[Darkwaters]

Good effort by Oberto at least...

[Sweetey]

He's having the Okur game.
I hope he doesn't have an Okur SERIES !!!!

[Spurs Brazil]

Tp!!!!!

[Corn on the Colb]

Helluva finish right there.

[WalterBenitez]

wow ... tony is in another level

[Soul_Patch]

christ is tony the only one who can hit a shot

[Cry Havoc]

Gooden pushes off more than a team of legless football players in a two hand touch contest.

Nice dunk though.

[iflyabeech]

oh yeah tony!

[Mr. Body]

Damn, stupid defense on Gooden dunk.

[Darkwaters]

Tony Parker!!!!

[Corn on the Colb]

I hope he doesn't have an Okur SERIES !!!!

At least it isn't one of your Big 3 if it happens!

Trust me, that sucks.

[ObiwanGinobili]

Bowen should have been DPOY :smokin

yep.
2 of the last 4 yrs atleast.

[RuffnReadyOzStyle]

Manu set to come in. I have a feeling he's going to get hot now.

Stop the jumper, GO TO THE RACK!

[iflyabeech]

OMG he made one with a charge!

[Darkwaters]

...only took him 9 shots!!

[Aggie Hoopsfan]

Ilgauskas tripped Bowen on Lebron's drive. :pctoss

[ObiwanGinobili]

james 1st Fg........ 5 min's into the 2nd 1/2.

[Mr. Body]

Spurs look bad.

[Budkin]

Tony with a shit ass TO.

[Death In June]

What a shitty ass game.

[WalterBenitez]

calm down TOny you when your game ask you to slown down

[Soul_Patch]

spurs offense is fucking jv right now...they have nothing going right except tony.

[mavsfan1000]

after 6000+ posts we are kinda obliged to.
I post here so much because I think this is the best forum on the WWW. You can say fuck, shit, pussy, dick, and etc. :lol I was forced to dislike the spurs just because I'm a mavs fan. Really Parker and Ginobili are cool guys. I rooted for you guys when the Lakers were still dominating.

[Spurs Brazil]

bruuuuuuuuuuuuuuuce 33333333333333333333333333

[Budkin]

Manu we need you. BRUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUCE>

[Slo spurs fan]

Bruuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuucie!

[Mr. Body]

Leave it to Bowen to hit an outside shot.

[ObiwanGinobili]

Bowen from the sweet spot!

[iflyabeech]

bruce dropped more than a duece!!!!

[Spurologist]

BOWENNNNNNNNNNNNNNNNNNNNNNNNNnnn

333333333333333333333333333333333333333333

Finalllllllllllllllllllyyyyyyyyyyyyyyyyyyyyyyyyyyy yyyyyyy

[spursrocksocks]

Bowened

[midgetonadonkey]

The shit Bowen took just paid off.

[phxspurfan]

somebody (Bowen) knows what time it is...

[Sweetey]

Bowen for 3 -- yeeeesssss !

[ballhog]

Tony Parker > LeBron

[Cry Havoc]

Good EC defense. Leave Bowen wide open in the corner. How will we ever score against them? :rolleyes

[Budkin]

Good time out Pop... pussy ass effort by Tim on that rebound.

[Mr. Body]

You'd think keeping these guys off the O. boards wouldn't be as hard as it is.

[dbreiden83080]

Spurs are playing so BADDDD. Finley has got nothing in this game i thought he would play well he can't buy an open shot.

[RuffnReadyOzStyle]

Gooden's hair thing is GAY.

Freakin hell, we should be driving EVERY PLAY. Their interior D si soft.

[iflyabeech]

ABC when Lebron is finally 1-9.....he can take over the game======GAY

[ObiwanGinobili]

I post here so much because I think this is the best forum on the WWW. You can say fuck, shit, pussy, dick, and etc. :lol I was forced to dislike the spurs just because I'm a mavs fan. Really Parker and Ginobili are cool guys. I rooted for you guys when the Lakers were still dominating.

yeah ST rocks.
and I've always thougth you were cool... I just ignore you when you post Mavs shit. :lol
I actually like the mavs except for cuban.

[ManuTim_best of Fwiendz]

Manu needs to explode our slow game is giving Cavs life

[Admidave50]

Damn, Tim must get these boards!!

[dbreiden83080]

Good time out Pop... pussy ass effort by Tim on that rebound.

No it wasn't he just mistimed it is all.

[Budkin]

Rebounding is not our specialty.... we need to work extra hard.

[703 Spurz]

The shit Bowen took just paid off.

:lol

[ObiwanGinobili]

ABC when Lebron is finally 1-9.....he can take over the game======GAY

I'm waiting for the Pres. of ABC to suck his dick live on air.

[Supergirl]

Need to keep the Cavs off the offensive boards.

[Budkin]

Yes, Manu needs to start actually participating in this game..... now.

[phxspurfan]

true inferior chip-on-shoulder east team playing superior-in-every-way wwest team. This series already reminds me of the Nets 03 series. No way these guys will pose as much of a threat as Detroit would have.

[Corn on the Colb]

ABC when Lebron is finally 1-9.....he can take over the game======GAY

Exactly what I just told my Dad.

WTF? That lay-up is the birth to his 'taking over of the game?' Weird.

[Spurologist]

Gooden's hair thing is GAY.

Freakin hell, we should be driving EVERY PLAY. Their interior D si soft.

That's why I don't understand why he isn't at least taking the ball to the rack.

Fuck, he's got a guy named Sasha guarding him

[Budkin]

We've got to take advantage of this cold shooting by LeBron.

[Tek_XX]

Do tap backs count as rebounds? ABC says no.

[Supergirl]

Gooden's hair thing is GAY.

yeah, that thing drives me nuts. wtf is he thinking? i'm sending the queer eye guys over to give him some frickin tips.

[RuffnReadyOzStyle]

You'd think keeping these guys off the O. boards wouldn't be as hard as it is.

I think they are the best O rebounding team in the NBA, no?

[CubanMustGo]

Spurs are playing so BADDDD. Finley has got nothing in this game i thought he would play well he can't buy an open shot.

He's just pressing. If he can hit a shot or two it'll be OK.

[Warlord23]

We're getting almost nothing from the swing spots tonight

Finley 1-7
Manu 2-5 with 2 TOs
Bruce 1-3

[Aggie Hoopsfan]

I heard Michelle Tafoya is wearing knee pads for the post-game interview in the locker room. 'Lebron, tell the world about your loss while I try and make you feel better.'

[DDS4]

Rebounds are the backcourt's responsibility too.

[Budkin]

Hopefully the rust is almost off.

[florige]

Should be up by waaay more. Not trying to give Bron bron a chance in 4th.

[Soul_Patch]

If the spurs can hold a lead playing this shitty...i dont even wanna see what will happen when we actually play spurs basketball..oh wait...maybe i do.

[ObiwanGinobili]

allly oop!

[Budkin]

Woooo...close

[ballhog]

ABC hard up for LeBron highlights right now. Manuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuu

[Spurologist]

The younger manu would have dunked that shit

[iflyabeech]

Yes, Manu needs to start actually participating in this game..... now.


like that??

[phxspurfan]

mmm michele tafoys wearing knee pads....

[baseline bum]

Great catch by Ginobili.

[Budkin]

Oberto foul... good not timmy

[Cherry]

HOLY COW!!! Manu!!! :elephant

[Warlord23]

Can we fucking stay on Gooden? Let him try the jumper instead of getting a clear path to the bucket

[baseline bum]

Oberto's third.

[NuGGeTs-FaN]

You knows its over when the Spurs starting throwing alley oops :lol

[phxspurfan]

lol* younger manu would have injured himself trying to dunk that sht

[florige]

F'ing Gooden. We can't keep giving these bums these offensive boards.

[Spurs Brazil]

Nice job Horry

[baseline bum]

Nice effort, Rob!

[Budkin]

Damn... come on Timmy.

[ObiwanGinobili]

Spurs ball.

[Corn on the Colb]

No foul on Horry there. Surprising. Kind of insignificant in the grand scheme of things.

And the vomit cam comes out.

[ObiwanGinobili]

i gotta say I am loving the hustle out there.

[RuffnReadyOzStyle]

Finley 1-7... OUCH!

[ObiwanGinobili]

bowen 2nd chance!

[Budkin]

Yes!!!!

[ObiwanGinobili]

Manuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuu

[Soul_Patch]

hell yes

[Slo spurs fan]

Manuuuuuuuuuuu

[Spurologist]

mmmmmmannnnnnnnuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuu

[spursrocksocks]

rapefest

[florige]

ManUUU!!!

[Corn on the Colb]

Manuuuuu.

Wait. I'm a Jazz fan.

[phxspurfan]

bowen, despite his lack of consistent numbers, really seems to get those crucial boards...

[iflyabeech]

Yes, Manu needs to start actually participating in this game..... now.


or like that bitch?

[ObiwanGinobili]

Mnau 2-3 3pt attempts

[Soul_Patch]

this camera angle blows

[Darkwaters]

This is the best Drew Gooden will play all series.

[Corn on the Colb]

The Pick & Roll is money.

Keep running that crap and this is over.

[ObiwanGinobili]

Standing O :spin

[Soul_Patch]

1 for 10...hahahahahahhahahahahahhahaha

[iflyabeech]

spurs making em look silly now

[Darkwaters]

I'll give LeBron that shot just about anytime he wants.

...especially tonight.

[Spurs Brazil]

TP!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!

Spurs up 11

[florige]

Here We Go!!!!

[resistanze]

Nice Parker

[iflyabeech]

Time For The Wave Bitchesssss!!!!

[yeahone]

spurs ball babeeeeeeeeeee

[phxspurfan]

this camera angle blows


anybody remember in 1996 when NBC tried airing all those games with that crappy angle? And the NBA live 95 game that had it full time? that sucked so bad.

[Soul_Patch]

that lebron is bad ass.

[lrrr]

Who is (not) guarding Gooden?!

[ballhog]

Tony. Magnifique.

[Leetonidas]

The Spurs are bending the Cavs over and sticking it up their asses. :lol

[ObiwanGinobili]

"this could be a danfgerous time for cleveland right now"

^^^ Lebron fluffer at ABC

[ClingingMars]

TONNYYYYYYYY PARRRRKKKEEERRRRRRRRRR

SPURS BY 11

-Mars

[NuGGeTs-FaN]

Give up Cavs. You think your close and then BAM they knock you down :smokin

[iflyabeech]

whoop whoop

[Budkin]

There's our Spurs... the rust is finally coming off...

[yeahone]

hmm carmelo played better against bruce than lebron

[Spurologist]

CROWD GETTING LOUDDDDDDDD

TP knows English, especially off the glass!!!!!!!!!!!!

[Aggie Hoopsfan]

Mark Jackson :lol "Lebron is so strong a simple spin move sent Bowen into the first row."

Good lord this is ridiculous.

[florige]

I'll give LeBron that shot just about anytime he wants.

...especially tonight.



When he shoots those we have won the matchup with him.

[Slo spurs fan]

Yesssssss! That is Spurs basketball! Tough D and quick on O.

[RuffnReadyOzStyle]

Yup - late 3rd Q run, just as I suspected. Sparked by a Manu 3. Time to put 20pts on them. :devil

[Darkwaters]

1 for 10...hahahahahahhahahahahahhahaha

And the one FG he got was when Bowen was tripped by Z.

So, shall we say that LeBron is 1* for 10?

:lol

[midgetonadonkey]

The King is just waiting. 1 of 10? It means shit. He is just giving the Spurs a chance.

[dbreiden83080]

It is all Tim and Tony right now but the D is great so that is what they are hanging there hat on.

[Texas_Ranger]

Go Spurs Go!!!!

[CubanMustGo]

Way to hustle .. finally a double digit lead.

[Budkin]

We need to push this lead... don't let these guys hang around...

[Spurologist]

Mark Jackson :lol "Lebron is so strong a simple spin move sent Bowen into the first row."

Good lord this is ridiculous.

:lmao

I was laughing out loud b/c of that until TP made that layup.

[itzsoweezee]

the calves would be better off with gibson playing. brown is stupid for not giving him more PT.

[Admidave50]

GO SPURS GO!

Biggest lead with the night! +11

[Aggie Hoopsfan]

The Pick & Roll is money.

Keep running that crap and this is over.

You're alright (and have a great avatar). :tu

[Corn on the Colb]

THIS is all the NBA can come up with as an heir to MJ?

Yikes.

[RuffnReadyOzStyle]

When he shoots those we have won the matchup with him.

Yup, his shot has very poor form.

You know what, his form looks a lot like TP's before Chip sorted it out, shoulders at 45degrees, etc.

[florige]

Remember that cocksucker can go off though!!

[NuGGeTs-FaN]

hmm carmelo played better against bruce than lebron

Melo matches up better against Bowen, probably coz he gets 4 chances a year to do it :lol

Plus he plays more of a post up game, when compared to Lebron. And i still believe that Melo has a sweeter J than Lebron :fro

[Aggie Hoopsfan]

And the one FG he got was when Bowen was tripped by Z.

So, shall we say that LeBron is 1* for 10.

:lol

:lol

[Admidave50]

Nice to see the Big 3 scores one after the other.

First, a 3pt by Manu, then pick&roll for Duncan and TP with the layup

[Spurs Brazil]

Spurs 14asts
Cavs 4asts

[florige]

Man that new Die Hard looks GOOD!!!

[phxspurfan]

ayyyy LeBron pobrecito his enemies ayy que Joe montana look at the fire in his eyes!

[dbreiden83080]

We need to push this lead... don't let these guys hang around...

Agreed 3:35 to play need to finish strong here and try to take some of the fight out of them.

[ObiwanGinobili]

I am seriously getting pissed at the way ABC is riding Lebron jock.

his balls must be fuckign shiny form being rubbed on so much.

[shadowofanubis66]

well thats probably ballgame

[Corn on the Colb]

Melo + LeBron = 1/2 of Jordan's jock.

[shadowofanubis66]

It's truly amazing how moronic mike brown is, leaving hughes and Z in and keeping AV and gibson on the bench.

[RuffnReadyOzStyle]

Gooden has been by far their best player tonight.

TP rocks! :D

[florige]

C'mon I want a 20 point lead going into the 4th!!

[ObiwanGinobili]

Agreed 3:35 to play need to finish strong here and try to take some of the fight out of them.

we need to be at least 7 up to finish the 3rd.
of course I'll be happy to be up 13 or so too :lol

[ObiwanGinobili]

Wooot!

[iflyabeech]

nice pass king ofer

[Corn on the Colb]

If only Duncan could jump.

[ObiwanGinobili]

damn.

[Budkin]

Ah shit.... that would have been sweet.

[Tha Carter]

dammit that woulda been a sweet alley

[Spurologist]

Oh shit. THat would have been sweet

[phxspurfan]

Melo matches up better against Bowen, probably coz he gets 4 chances a year to do it :lol

Plus he plays more of a post up game, when compared to Lebron. And i still believe that Melo has a sweeter J than Lebron :fro



agreed. and to add to that, MJ was right for backing Melo over LeBron from the start. Melo will be a much more successful player at the end of their runs.

[ObiwanGinobili]

oh - now they are raggin on Duncan like he;s an old man???

wtf?

[Budkin]

Good D by Manu.

[iflyabeech]

nice pass king ofer
another one lol

[Soul_Patch]

tony to tim...that would have been soooo pretty

[Corn on the Colb]

The question is, can King Gooden carry the Cavs to their first title?

[Spurologist]

Ah shit.... that would have been sweet.

WTF?

you typed the exact same thing I did

[RuffnReadyOzStyle]

Great D.

[Spurs Brazil]

Must be a flagrant

[yeahone]

damnnnnnnnnnnnn

[Corn on the Colb]

Yikes Gooden.

Flagrant?

[Budkin]

Flagrant!

[Soul_Patch]

hahah flagrant! get em!

[Darkwaters]

Where are those Cavs fans that are talking shit about the Spurs playing dirty?

[Cry Havoc]

Hhahahaha Gooden is a fucktard.

[ObiwanGinobili]

Flagrant 1.

[iflyabeech]

flagrant...thats bs

[Corn on the Colb]

LMAO at the irony.

[Budkin]

Grabbed on the neck

[phxspurfan]

LOL @ good acting by my boi manu

[Cry Havoc]

Is this the vaunted EC defense again?

[florige]

I hate Mark Jackson!!!! Freakin Moron!!

[ATRAIN]

WTF GOODEN!!!!!!!!! Damn Pussy Patch asshole

[Budkin]

And of course he bricks it,

[Aggie Hoopsfan]

Oh hell no. Mark Jackson just called Manu a good actor on the flagrant. Fuck that piece of shit commentator.

[RuffnReadyOzStyle]

That wasn't flagrant. bad call.

[Spurologist]

Now Mark Jackson with this manu acting shit.

Gooden put has hand around manu's neck

GMAFB

[phxspurfan]

Dirty Dirty

[iflyabeech]

that hair is GAY GAY GAY

[ObiwanGinobili]

WTF??? "ginobili is a heck of an actor"??? he siad that after we see nteh slow mo replay???
douche.

[RuffnReadyOzStyle]

Hhahahaha Gooden is a fucktard.

No he's not, he did nothing wrong there.

[Budkin]

Wesley is arguing? :lol

[E20]

Eject Gooden and Mark Jackson.

[Cry Havoc]

That wasn't flagrant. bad call.

Grabbing someone's neck while they're at full speed is so insanely dangerous. That can cause nerve damage.

[phxspurfan]

somebody put in steve kerr and danny ferry

[iflyabeech]

ofer another!!

[Budkin]

Hhaha

[DudleyDawson]

Jacques Vaughn = basketball diarrhea

[Admidave50]

Fuck you about selling the foul! Are you kidding me? Manu was coming full speed, no time for acting mothafuckers!

[Cry Havoc]

No he's not, he did nothing wrong there.

Yeah, putting your left arm on a player's neck and yanking is brilliantly perfect defense.

[florige]

Hold that ball boy!

[RuffnReadyOzStyle]

WTF??? "ginobili is a heck of an actor"??? he siad that after we see nteh slow mo replay???
douche.

But he DID act on that play. There was nothing in it to cause him to flail around like he did.

[Soul_Patch]

he swung his other hand around and hit him in the neck....that was a flagrant.
