I think the Chosen 1 is beating himself. he is trying to take over the game and go to the hole for every bucket. Problem is he isn't going to make enough by himself and he has exactly 0 assists.

You've got to pull it back to reality and let this Second Coming of MJ bs go away.

[HJNTX]

Almost $334,000 US ..

[ClingingMars]

No offence but that was the gayest halftime segment ever. Don't worry ABC, it'll soon be over.

needed more interviews and less reporter talking

-Mars

[ManuTim_best of Fwiendz]

Spurs are setting themselves up for the road with this game.

[easjer]

Did they just say Tony is renting a castle for 250,000 for his wedding?


They are renting out a castle on the outskirts of Paris for an entire weekend. Sounds like a pretty good deal, honestly.

And think of it % wise, rather than actual dollars. The average cost of a wedding in America is something like $30,000 and the average income is something like $70,000 per couple. Tony and Eva probably aren't anywhere near the same % of cost to income.

[CleVeLaNd_sTriFe]

The Cavs were winning 2-0.

[Aggie Hoopsfan]

Wow, the Cavs fans are going to be shitting on their cats with this halftime special. :lol

What's the big deal? We'll be seeing specials on the Cavs at halftime for the rest of the series (games 3 and 4).

[ManuTim_best of Fwiendz]

:lol ERIC SNOW IS THE REAL COACH.

[ClingingMars]

Poor Eric Snow, only one who realizes what is happening...perhaps he'll get a coaching job eventually

-Mars

[ChumpDumper]

Eric Snow > Mike D'Antoni

[CleVeLaNd_sTriFe]

My girlfriend is hotter than Eva, so the halftime special didn't really bother me.

[ClingingMars]

What's the big deal? We'll be seeing specials on the Cavs at halftime for the rest of the series (games 3 and 4).

But you see Cavs fans are new to this whole Finals thing and don't realize that. So they bitch like crazy.

-Mars

[ClingingMars]

[florige]

Man the Refs trying to give cle the game with these bull calls

[ChumpDumper]

James stepped out you old fuck!That was obvious. :madrun

[ClingingMars]

Duncan says not in my house

-Mars

[Spurs Brazil]

Td Bank!

[ChumpDumper]

The bank is open on Sunday.

[easjer]

Rotations need to tighten up as do second chances. Fuck, guys. You are better than this. Shut them down.

[ClingingMars]

-Mars

[florige]

Man lets bury these fools now!!

[baseline bum]

[baseline bum]

TP from 20!

[ClingingMars]

tonyyyy parkerrrrrr

LISTEN TO JVG - SOMETIMES THE OTHER TEAM IS JUST BETTER THAN YOU...

-Mars

[Admidave50]

How can the Spurs give this rebound to Pavlovich??

[Darkwaters]

[baseline bum]

[ClingingMars]

-Mars

[florige]

They refs are trying to give CLe the freakin game and they are still f'ing up!!

[baseline bum]

[ClingingMars]

DD

-Mars

[duncanchick21]

fucking Bavetta

[baseline bum]

Oh, fuck that shit

[florige]

He traveled long before that!!

[davemaniscool]

blind leading the blind with the refs

[TampaDude]

WTF was that call, refs???

[florige]

I hate these BS refs. I feel for us when we go to Cle.

[Aggie Hoopsfan]

Bavetta swoops in to save the day, err, hose the Spurs on a double dribble by Pavlovic.

[ClingingMars]

pop just trying to steady things

-Mars

[Tek_XX]

Joey C. was right about Bevetta

[CleVeLaNd_sTriFe]

Z has 2 different sized feet? disturbing

-Mars
He is from Lithuania..

Must be from nuclear waste or something.

[TampaDude]

:lmao @ Zydrunas Varejao

:lol (you can laugh when you're up by 20+)

[Dirk Nowitzki]

:elephant :elephant :elephant :elephant Here comes the Cavs! Gooden my boy!!!!!

[Budkin]

Refs trying to give the Cavs some hope... that call on Duncan was just awful.

[easjer]

Refs suck. Didn't expect any different with Bavetta, but damn these calls have been way off tonight.

Whatever, Spurs D is looking crappy and forced and off right now - they need to talk it over.

I'm to the point where I almost hate having more than a 10 point lead, because it always seems like they piss it away with carelessness and jumpers on O and half-assed-ness on D.

[peskypesky]

On a sad note, Micahel Finley is contributing just about nothing to the Spurs so far. 2 of 12 in the first two games. :(

[Aggie Hoopsfan]

BTW, did anyone catch Mike Brown on the Pavlovic play yelling "Timmy touched it, Timmy hit the ball!" You're the enemy now Mike, you can't call him Timmy any more.

[florige]

Bavetta swoops in to save the day, err, hose the Spurs on a double dribble by Pavlovic.


I guess they just happened to miss the 4 steps prior to the double dribble though!!

[Budkin]

:elephant :elephant :elephant :elephant Here comes the Cavs! Gooden my boy!!!!!

Whatever dude... just stop.

[Admidave50]

11-7 in this quarter with the refs saving the Cav's ass

[CleVeLaNd_sTriFe]

On a sad note, Micahel Finley is contributing just about nothing to the Spurs so far. 2 of 12 in the first two games. :(

Oh yea.. you guys are playing awful... :dizzy

[bigfish22]

^ Yeah, as much as he has done in his career, he's gonna have to start doing a little more to earn this

[Aggie Hoopsfan]

Refs suck. Didn't expect any different with Bavetta, but damn these calls have been way off tonight.

Whatever, Spurs D is looking crappy and forced and off right now - they need to talk it over.

I'm to the point where I almost hate having more than a 10 point lead, because it always seems like they piss it away with carelessness and jumpers on O and half-assed-ness on D.

Just wait, we'll have Salvatore sending the Cavs to the line 60 times in game 3.

[BigBeezie]

This game is pretty much over... The Cavs should have just mailed this one in. They were obviously not ready for us.

In other news: the refs have been horrible tonight. This is the crappiest I have ever seen Baveta. He usually blows the whistle a ton...but tonight is crazy.

[florige]

We actually are still playing alright if the refs would start calling the game evenly and stop trying ti let Cle back in it.

[Aggie Hoopsfan]

I guess they just happened to miss the 4 steps prior to the double dribble though!!

Yeah, that was horrible. How does a scrub like Pavlovic get away with a travel and then a double dribble and THEN get bailed out by Bavetta going senile?

WTF?

[easjer]

Just wait, we'll have Salvatore sending the Cavs to the line 60 times in game 3.


That's why my $ is on 5 games.

[Admidave50]

On a sad note, Micahel Finley is contributing just about nothing to the Spurs so far. 2 of 12 in the first two games. :(

Whott must be celebrating somewhere

[TampaDude]

3rd on Z...

[florige]

Just wait, we'll have Salvatore sending the Cavs to the line 60 times in game 3.


Oh my goodness we are getting hosed in Cle. You can bank on that!!

[TampaDude]

Knew that foul was coming...3rd on LeBron...

[FreeMad Dan]

Lebron...King of the Airball

LeAirball

[duncanchick21]

[Spurs Brazil]

Manu Tres!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!

[florige]

Parker!!!

[baseline bum]

Manu to Tim!

[TampaDude]

This is getting ugly...

[FreeMad Dan]

We are witnessing a great San Antonio team put on a clinic.... Quote of the day from Mark Jackson

[Aggie Hoopsfan]

Duncan with the 180 :rollin

[florige]

Man if the refs just let us play in CLe this will be a sweep!!!

[CleVeLaNd_sTriFe]

Why are we still playing?

[twentyone]

LOL "The Cav's are witnessing the Spurs putting on a clinic" Who said that? Mike? I odn't think it was JVG as expected.

[Budkin]

Hahah.... what a massacre... keep pouring it on Spurs!!!

[Admidave50]

Spurs are in the zone

[florige]

This is getting ugly...


Book that!! :toast

[TampaDude]

"They should charge the other teams to watch San Antonio." :lol

[Its already over]

From a Cavs fan....

Congratulations

[ClingingMars]

Is it possible to stop Parker if he's hitting the 3? I think not.

-Mars

[Dirk Nowitzki]

:pctoss :pctoss :pctoss :pctoss FUCK!!

[Aggie Hoopsfan]

LOL "The Cav's are witnessing the Spurs putting on a clinic" Who said that? Mike? I odn't think it was JVG as expected.

Mark Jackson.

[Budkin]

Dirk Nowitski (of this forum) is going to blow his top... his neighbors better watch out!

[mVp]

I feel bad for the Cavs....


... well... not really :lol

[dbreiden83080]

What was that about great Cavs D, easiest 2 pts timmy has probably ever scored in the finals.

[florige]

Thats it guys, put the foot down. I betcha that was Pops whole speech at halftime...

[NASpurs]

:madrun :madrun :madrun People think im kidding but the Cavs can come back! Spurs have coughed up leads before!:lmao

[twentyone]

"They should charge the other teams to watch San Antonio." :lol


ooh snap. That is classic, is that a real quote? I missed it if so.

[Budkin]

I love this but what would really make me happy is a win in game 3.

[easjer]

:smokin

This is almost as good as good sex.

[rascal]

Cleveland has got to be the worst team to make the finals. They are not even competitive. This nba finals will have the worst ratings.

[florige]

Where's Boobie tonight?? :lol

[dbreiden83080]

I feel bad for the Cavs....


... well... not really :lol

I feel BAD for Burger King, i mean King James.

[Texas_Ranger]

C'mon Spurs. Kick their ass.

[Condemned 2 HelLA]

This is getting ugly...

It passed "ugly" at halftime.
It's WELL into "fugly" now!

[twentyone]

Hey let's just keep watching them play, and worry about the put away's as we come up to them. Awesome game.

[TampaDude]

ooh snap. That is classic, is that a real quote? I missed it if so.

Yup...one of the ABC guys said it right before the commercial break.

[Admidave50]

ooh snap. That is classic, is that a real quote? I missed it if so.

yeah, I don't remember who said that

[Condemned 2 HelLA]

:pctoss :pctoss :pctoss :pctoss FUCK!!

Welcome back!

[Nashfan]

:pctoss :pctoss :pctoss :pctoss FUCK!!

Why don't you want the Spurs to win? You would think you would want a Texas team to win it all if the Mavs couldn't do it. I don't mind them winning it all because at least it comes back to the West :lol

[CleVeLaNd_sTriFe]

I always knew Timmah was possesed...
http://assets.espn.go.com/photo/2007/0610/nba_a_duncan_412.jpg :p:

[Spurs Brazil]

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

[TampaDude]

Duncan with AUTHORITY!!!!!

[Condemned 2 HelLA]

Tim makes it look too easy at times.

[easjer]

Nice one by Timmy. I was getting nervous they'd let it get under 20.

[baseline bum]

TD runs right by that flopping bitch

[Lp26]

CLE should forefit. This is hard to watch. Damn you Flip Saunders :pctoss

[duncanchick21]

3 fouls on LeBron

[TampaDude]

Okay...now it's the 3rd on LeBron...

[FreeMad Dan]

Sideshow is getting the clinic...Tim Duncan is charging him for these lesson.

[DudleyDawson]

Van Gundy giving the Spurs major props.

[Nashfan]

You know, I really hope Amare is at this game and taking notes on how to play from Duncan. He could really learn a lot.

[florige]

That was too obvious Bron

[HJNTX]

pics or it didn't happen

-Mars
:lol Funny............

[ClingingMars]

CLE should forefit. This is hard to watch. Damn you Flip Saunders :pctoss

Quick, snag Larry Brown back!

-Mars

[CleVeLaNd_sTriFe]

The ABC announcers just about deemed this series over.

haha.

[Displaced Spurs Fan]

"liblau liblau, Timmaahhhh!"

[easjer]

I am thinking that I might get my vBookie after all tonight. But I think I'd be ok with that.

[davemaniscool]

Brown doing a disservice to his team with no game plan. I mean damn spurs playing great but Cleveland looks lost

[florige]

Lebron really needs help on this team.

[ClingingMars]

Manu shoulda dunked that. Crowd woulda gone ballistic

-Mars

[twentyone]

LeFawn needs ball handling 101

[HJNTX]

Why don't you want the Spurs to win? You would think you would want a Texas team to win it all if the Mavs couldn't do it. I don't mind them winning it all because at least it comes back to the West :lol
Yep...I would think you would be for the west anyway ...

[BigBeezie]

I love how LeDirk keeps turning it over for us...

[Tha Carter]

Dang Horry!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!

[Spurs Brazil]

Horry Block!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!

[baseline bum]

Rob with pack #4!!!

[duncanchick21]

Horry with another block

[florige]

Hoooooooorrryyyyyyyyyy!!!!!!!!

[Nashfan]

CLE should forefit. This is hard to watch. Damn you Flip Saunders :pctoss


Don't think your team could do much better against the Spurs :) I mean they couldn't even beat the Cavs and you expect to have had a chance against the Spurs?? :)

[easjer]

Mark Jackson is just making me laugh, normally he annoys the fuck out of me.

"If I'm a Cleveland parent, I just congratulate them on a job well done getting there."

[davemaniscool]

how many times has gooden had his shit blocked by Horry?

[ClingingMars]

Robert Horry is on fire

-Mars

[mVp]

Robert FUCKING Horry !!!

[TampaDude]

HORRY with the REJECTION!!!

[FreeMad Dan]

Another block from Horry...Worked bitch

[twentyone]

Horry have springs in his shoes?

[HJNTX]

Wooooooooooooo Horrrrrrrrrrrryyyyyyyyyyyy!!!!

[ClingingMars]

-Mars

[CleVeLaNd_sTriFe]

Varejao has two free throws coming..

And he MISSES BOTH what a suprise...

[florige]

Varajeo, what can you say aboout this piece of crap!!

[TampaDude]

Horry making the flopper earn it.

[FreeMad Dan]

That kid next to Robinson was priceless...He was showing his O face

[dbreiden83080]

Horry making sure the Spurs know he wants a contract next year.

[ClingingMars]

How many times has Slideshow Bob flopped in this series, compared to Manu? Bet it isn't even close.

-Mars

[FreeMad Dan]

Atrain says "Big Block Rob"

[CleVeLaNd_sTriFe]

well whaddya know he made them ! !

[Jelly]

Jesus Horry!! ANOTHER block! Are the Spurs really this good or are the Cavs just that bad???
This is a massacre!

[davemaniscool]

I think Bron and maybe Zydrunas could start for a West playoff team. But the other Cleveland starters would be on the bench.

[Tha Carter]

Tpppppppppppppppppppp!!!!!!!!!!

[HJNTX]

I wish Floppy would cut that shit!

[ClingingMars]

JVG is jealous of Parker...of course who isn't.

-Mars

[DisgruntledLionFan#54,927]

This is brutal.

[florige]

Cle looks like they have no idea what the hell on defense.

[easjer]

JVG makes me laugh. Love him.

[TampaDude]

LOL at the announcers talking about Parker...

[Jelly]

Terrence Howard with a Spurs Jersey on!!!!

[duncanchick21]

Terrence Howard jumping on the bandwagon?

[ClingingMars]

jesus how much will we score?

-Mars

[duncanchick21]

Horry!!!!

[ClingingMars]

ROBERT HORRY OF OLD HAS RISEN FROM THE GRAVE

-Mars

[Condemned 2 HelLA]

How about that Fresh Prince?

[spursrocksocks]

Horry for mvp?

[TampaDude]

Big Shot Rob bringing the PAIN!!!

[easjer]

You think the starters come back out? Maybe if the lead dips to 15 with 8 minutes left or something like that. I'm looking forward to watching Bonner for awhile.

[florige]

AHHHHHH I wanted and 1!!

[HJNTX]

ROBERT HORRY OF OLD HAS RISEN FROM THE GRAVE

-Mars
:clap :clap :clap :clap :clap :clap :clap :clap :clap

[baseline bum]

Manu with the steal!

[ClingingMars]

Should Ginobili still be playing?

-Mars

[Aggie Hoopsfan]

Play of the day - Oberto between his legs to Manu, to Vaughn, to Horry for the three. Nice!

[baseline bum]

ABC's doing the sad bench shot that they usually save until 2:00 before a team is eliminated!

[twentyone]

I know i've said it before but I'll say it again, LeFumble needs ball handling 101.

Hey and what the hell with those tig ole' bitties in the background of Mike Brown everytime they show him? Ugh.

[duncanchick21]

airball for the King

[baseline bum]

Bowen blocks James!

[easjer]

Horry might as well get a pheonix tattooed on him somewhere, with as frequently as he rises renewed from the ashes. . .

[Jelly]

King James shoots another airball :lol

[davemaniscool]

Bron is no Jordan yet or ever. Jordan would singlehandedly keep Cleveland in this game

[ballhog]

I picked this Spurs to win in 5 but right now I can't see the Cavs winning at all.

[ClingingMars]

How about that Fresh Prince?

-Mars

[SpurOutofTownFan]

Man, I'm really having fun. Not bored at all. This game just has it all.

[florige]

Man the cavs have all but given up on this game. They just watched Manu shoot that 3 point shot.

[baseline bum]

airball for the King

There's no way Bruce didn't get a piece of that shot.

[Budkin]

Hey Dirk... when are they coming back again?? :lmao

[mVp]

Ok, Beno time! :spin

[ChumpDumper]

Bron is no Jordan yet or ever. Jordan would singlehandedly keep Cleveland in this gameA 22 year old Jordan?

[efrem1]

Darn, those Cavs had to cut it to 27 points. Get it to 30 SPurs or No SOup for YOu!!!

[florige]

Bron is no Jordan yet or ever. Jordan would singlehandedly keep Cleveland in this game


Thats because Jordan had a wet jumper. Once Lebron gets that he will be alright.

[Budkin]

Butler, Beno, White, Ely, and Elson time!

[dg7md]

I picked this Spurs to win in 5 but right now I can't see the Cavs winning at all.

I see what you mean but I also can't see the Cavs playing this bad twice in a row at home. I said Spurs in 6 but this is looking like a 4-5 game series...

[Sweetey]

For Queen LeBroom --

http://i66.photobucket.com/albums/h258/jlo49/SweepJazz.jpg

[easjer]

What a great game to end on at home (I hope). Nice. Very, very nice.

[ClingingMars]

The amazing dunks of LeBron james...yes blaine, where have those gone?

-Mars

[baseline bum]

Jordan had a crap jumper until after his first retirement. He was so ridiculous off the dribble the defense didn't matter.

[florige]

I picked this Spurs to win in 5 but right now I can't see the Cavs winning at all.


Unless we play like complete morons, or the Refs give Cle calls, I don't have them winning a game. They just look overmatched to be honest. I mean hell Finley hasn't contributed NOTHING so far.

[TampaDude]

The amazing dunks of LeBron james...yes blaine, where have those gone?

-Mars

:lmao I was just thinking the same thing...

[florige]

Jordan had a crap jumper until after his first retirement. He was so ridiculous off the dribble the defense didn't matter.


It seems Bron has trouble with handling the ball against smaller guards.

[Aggie Hoopsfan]

I picked this Spurs to win in 5 but right now I can't see the Cavs winning at all.

Then you haven't seen Bennett Salvatore call a game 3 in a mismatched series.

Cleveland will get 50 FTs Tuesday.

[TampaDude]

Darn, those Cavs had to cut it to 27 points. Get it to 30 SPurs or No SOup for YOu!!!

Yeah...fuck 29...we want 39!!!

[twentyone]

A 22 year old Jordan?

How old was in 91? Seems that was the year he started. I think he did better than LeBron in PeeWee league.

[TampaDude]

Then you haven't seen Bennett Salvatore call a game 3 in a mismatched series.

Cleveland will get 50 FTs Tuesday.

I already have the Cavs winning Game 3, so no worries...Spurs in 5...BOOK IT!!! :toast

[Borosai]

"I'm really great at adjusting."

[Jelly]

The amazing dunks of LeBron james...yes blaine, where have those gone?

He was outdone by Manu's magnets. And when Manu wants more magnets, Manu gets magnets.....

No WAY!!

[twentyone]

JV flopped worst??? the resulting 2 flops after weren't flops by LJ and Sideshow bob?

[ballhog]

Don't think they'll get to 100 with this crew out there.

[baseline bum]

Then you haven't seen Bennett Salvatore call a game 3 in a mismatched series.

Cleveland will get 50 FTs Tuesday.

Salvatore's greatest hit had to be game 4 of the 03 LA series when he had Kobe shoot 25 FT, Shaq 20, and had David foul out in 14 fucking minutes.

[duncanchick21]

Man, WTF is Vaughn doing? Manu needs to be running the offense

[Leetonidas]

Nice lineup to start the quarter. :rolleyes

[ClingingMars]

yikes...
