Finals Game 2: Spurs vs Cavs Official Game Blog Thread

[Tek_XX]

Ok pops gamble backfires horribly.

[florige]

C'mon guys keep up the defense!!

[ChumpDumper]

Damon Jones to the rescue.

[Aggie Hoopsfan]

WTF are we doing on offense? Why is Manu even in the game if no one is going to pass him the ball and everyone else gets to shoot bricks?

[easjer]

We just gave up 9 points.

Not good. Lead under 20.

Does Pop leave the scrubs out?

[Budkin]

*sigh* Why does Pop give them hope every game...

[TampaDude]

Good timeout by Pop...Spurs looked like they were just fucking around out there...gotta lock this down...don't give the Cavs ANY HOPE at all!!!

[Death In June]

Vaughn sucks salty wet anus. Pop should cut him before he gets his ring.

[ballhog]

I'm a witness to the ass-kicking.

[twentyone]

Are they really playin that commercial right now? If I was Nike I woulda backed out of that about an hour and a half ago.

We are all witnesses.

[Admidave50]

this lineup sucks!

[Budkin]

Articles tomorrow... "Once again the Cavs fought their way back into the game with their tenacious play!" :lmao

[ManuTim_best of Fwiendz]

Vaughn, Bowen trying to create their own shots with Ginobili in there to keep them honest?? Idiotic Pop.

[Spurs Brazil]

TD is back

[Marcus Bryant]

Relax.

[NASpurs]

Articles tomorrow... "Once again the Cavs fought their way back into the game with their tenacious play!" :lmao:lmao

[Budkin]

Why doesn't Manu drive every time with this lineup?

[TampaDude]

Okay, guys...stop fucking around...time to run these fuckers out of the gym!

[Tek_XX]

elson, oberto, vaughn, bowen and Manu never touches the ball????? CIA wanted that lead down.

[baseline bum]

Nice... SRV in the highlights.

[Aggie Hoopsfan]

We just ran our last offensive play to hit Bowen with a pass on a curl going into the lane, where he never shoots and looked incredibly awkward doing so.

Meanwhile, Manu sat on the weak side away from the play. Seriously Pop, why even run a play like that? This is a horrible lineup to begin with and then you don't get the ball in the hands of the one guy on the court who can a) create his own shot and b) set up his teammates?

[florige]

I think Pop wants to give Cle something to look forward to in game 3. Having confidence their starters barely outplayed our 2nd unit. :lol

[ManuTim_best of Fwiendz]

Vaughn stinks when he gets unwarranted over-confidence, I hate it when he thinks he's better than he is. He needs to take a page from Oberto's book.

[baseline bum]

I can't stand Vaughn every time he comes in the game he believes he is allowed to shoot the ball. I never see Barry do that!

Vaughn has been a very solid backup this season. Far better than Udrih or Van Exel were.

[ballhog]

Nice shot Barry

[easjer]

Trying to be too fancy. Just go in and score.

[duncanchick21]

Awesome Pop, leave vaughn in there and take out Manu

[Spurs Brazil]

Jv J!

[baseline bum]

Speak of the devil.

[Jelly]

Everyone should calm down. So we're only up by 19. We've been leading by almost 30 the whole game. Forgive the guys for playing their hearts out. They can only keep it up for so long. I wouldn't be surprised if the lead is cut to 10. Our guys have been mutilating the cavs...they've got to be getting tired.

[zrinkill]

Wow .... he hit one

[ChumpDumper]

:lol Vaughn shoots it in all your faces.

[florige]

Man Barry is freakin awful!!

[ClingingMars]

Barry son it just aint going in

-Mars

[mVp]

Come on Barry!

[duncanchick21]

Barry wtf are you doing out there

[NASpurs]

Barry for Cavs' MVP

[duncanchick21]

Elson flopping on Side Show bob

[ClingingMars]

finally

-Mars

[Spurs Brazil]

DAMN Barry

YES CISCO!!!!

[Tha Carter]

Barry Make A Fucking Shot Will Ya Lol

[spursrocksocks]

barrrrrrrry for 000000000

[baseline bum]

Brent is cold as Ice.

[Aggie Hoopsfan]

Someone tell Brent Barry to quit shooting three pointers two seconds into the possession. Come on!

[mVp]

WTF is doing Barry out there?

[Cherry]

what was that? :lol

[florige]

Barry is starting to get into my DO NOT SHOOT THE BALL list!!!

[ChumpDumper]

Elson flopping on Side Show bobElson needs to buy a fright wig in order to sell that better.

[ballhog]

Barry.....ugghhh

[bdictjames]

What's the score?

[twentyone]

Wow we get to be a Witness every fucking commercial! Nike needs to get a refund from that guy.

[Borosai]

New nickname...

Chuck Barry

[Budkin]

Well, can't blame Barry for not shooting...

[dbreiden83080]

Good job by Elson getting that miss, Timmy was wide open there and Barry either missed him or ignored him.

[ATXSPUR]

barry = ice cold

[easjer]

Barry clearly has the go-ahead to shoot, and it's not like he looks worse than Fin out there this series. At least he hit one earlier. Eventually it will go in.

[FreeMad Dan]

After Horrys 4th block... :lmao

http://i207.photobucket.com/albums/bb28/danv802002/DSC00620.jpg

[Admidave50]

Barry has been keeping missing wide open 3s...

[Deb]

Why in the hell do we have to be subjected to those King James commercials time after time?

[Budkin]

Barry is starting to get into my DO NOT SHOOT THE BALL list!!!

It's just cause he's not gotten much playing time lately and he's out of rythym.

[Tek_XX]

Finley and BArry need to STEP UP ALREADY!!!

[florige]

Aside from Lebron the only reason the cavs have gone on a run has been because of defensive breakdowns by us.

[Aggie Hoopsfan]

Good job by Elson getting that miss, Timmy was wide open there and Barry either missed him or ignored him.

Barry has got it in his fucking head that he's going to shoot it every time out at three point line. He pretty much ignored TD on that.

[Admidave50]

12-4 in the 4th

[ManuTim_best of Fwiendz]

Pop should have kept Ginobili and Duncan in, then they would have gotten it up to 23 or something, Barry was a waste of minutes!

[NZHayden]

oh we've so got this game

[bdictjames]

Score please? I dont trust Yahoo, I think they got a mistake now

[baseline bum]

Someone tell Brent Barry to quit shooting three pointers two seconds into the possession. Come on!

Barry should never pass up a wide open three... ever.

[Jelly]

I'm starting to feel sorry for these poor Cavs. I hate to see people get their asses getting kicked this badly. And Lebron James must be so demoralized and embarrassed by now. All the pressure was on him.

[Budkin]

Aside from Lebron the only reason the cavs have gone on a run has been because of defensive breakdowns by us.

Scrubs. Nuff said.

[NASpurs]

Score please? I dont trust Yahoo, I think they got a mistake now93-74

[Admidave50]

93-74 +19

[Tek_XX]

12-4 in the 4th

Good thing we built a 29 point lead huh

[TampaDude]

Score please? I dont trust Yahoo, I think they got a mistake now

93-74

[Death In June]

Where is Finely? He'd be a better option than Barry right now.

[TampaDude]

Wow...Cavs are like 75% from 3-point land in the 4th.

[mVp]

Where's our D ??

[conversekid]

4-down time

[TampaDude]

Shit...here we go...this one's gonna be close...

[duncanchick21]

get manu back in the game

[easjer]

Down to 12.

Fucking terrific, guys.

[mVp]

93-81

[NASpurs]

Oh shit 12 points :lmao

[conversekid]

Spurs look like they lost interest in this game. *Yawn* only the NBA Finals.

[Leetonidas]

Are you fucking shitting me?

[bdictjames]

Where is Finely? He'd be a better option than Barry right now.
Pop might be warming everybody for a big road game in Cleveland.

To everyone - thanks. Yahoo did make a mistake

[florige]

It's just cause he's not gotten much playing time lately and he's out of rythym.


WTF!!!

[ClingingMars]

WHERE IS THE FUCKING FOUL FOR PARKER???

-Mars

[baseline bum]

Fuck, why did Barry pass on that shot!

[Spurs Brazil]

Damn

[bdictjames]

Wow

[mVp]

OMG... WTF are we doing?!?

[Budkin]

What the hell is going on??

[easjer]

Cut to 10.

Well done.

Can we panic now?

[ManuTim_best of Fwiendz]

Popovich gets AN F! :pctoss

[Death In June]

What The Fuck Is This Shit!?

[Tek_XX]

omg CIA is teasin em.

[conversekid]

Fixin to be a 9 point game.

[Aggie Hoopsfan]

FUCK FOUR DOWN.

Run the pick and roll you dumbshit.

[ChumpDumper]

:lol nice meltdown, Spurs.

[Texas_Ranger]

Start making the shots!!!!

[bdictjames]

Ok.

[Leetonidas]

Pop's 4th quarter coaching has been absolutely terrible. Horry and Ginobili need to be in NOW.

[easjer]

Spurs aren't shooting. At all. 21-4 run.

[duncanchick21]

fuck

[Cherry]

get manu back in the game


NOW

[Budkin]

We still got this... typical Spurs ball... but we've given them confidence... thanks Pop.

[TampaDude]

Spurs are going to lose this game...NOT!!!

[Admidave50]

What The Fuck

[duncanchick21]

Tony!!!

[ClingingMars]

Parker got lucky there...we are not playing well at all.

-Mars

[NASpurs]

Holy shit shot by Tony

[florige]

Cmon Guys!!

[Texas_Ranger]

WTF is going on!!???

[kevm2]

If the Spurs lose this game, this is on Popovich for putting that IDIOTIC lineup in the beginning of the fourth and allowing the Cavs to cut the lead by 10 in around 2 minutes.

[duncanchick21]

why is Bowen out of the game

[Leetonidas]

You've gotta be kidding me. :pctoss

[mVp]

I can't fucking believe this

[Admidave50]

It's looking really BAD§

[florige]

What The Hell Guys!!!

[Budkin]

LeBron James cock is dripping with the slobber of the announcers.

[DisgruntledLionFan#54,927]

Wow.

[JustSpurs]

This is looking weak

[DudleyDawson]

this is always what happens following a big lead. Now they have hope going into game 3.

[duncanchick21]

that was a foul on James

[Admidave50]

22-4 in the 4th, are you kidding me?

[Budkin]

Is this part of Pop's genius or what?

[bdictjames]

Dang

[ballhog]

Nice elbow. Bad call on the foul.

[kevm2]

NEVER put Jacque Vaughn in to begin a quarter, especially the fourth.

[Aggie Hoopsfan]

24-6 in the fourth. Fucking pathetic. I'm glad Pop thought the damn game was over at the end of the third.

[NASpurs]

Meh... Spurs fell asleep

[SpurOutofTownFan]

Woot what happened with that elbow... wait for many torching them now

[florige]

Unfreakinbeleivable!!!!

[Tek_XX]

26-4 are you fucking kidding me.

Pop will have their asses.

[baseline bum]

Bullshit fucking call.

[ManuTim_best of Fwiendz]

Ginobili OUCH!! that's gotta hoit

[ChumpDumper]

I thought blows to the face were in some way illegal.

[Texas_Ranger]

Shit, Shit, Shit!!!

[SpurOutofTownFan]

Woot what happened with that elbow... wait for manu torching them now

[Leetonidas]

Brent hitting 2 of those 5 bricks he threw up would've be nice. :pctoss

[Budkin]

The Spurs need this kind of wakeup call... acting like they won the game in 3 quarters... I still feel like it's too late for the Cavs.

[TampaDude]

If the Spurs lose this game, this is on Popovich for putting that IDIOTIC lineup in the beginning of the fourth and allowing the Cavs to cut the lead by 10 in around 2 minutes.

I knew the Spurs would let the Cavs cut the lead to single digits...so much for the "clinic"...Spurs are going to lose this game if they don't start scoring.

[easjer]

Plenty of time here. They just need to take a deep breath, shake it off and go. Defense needs to step up (without fouls that we all know Bavetta will call in the fourth). They have to score.

Bowen needs to get back out here.

I knew I hated big leads at the half.

[conversekid]

Don't understand sitting the starters so long and keeping our backups in. This is the Finals - we can rest when we win 4.

[Admidave50]

Watch out if Lebron starts to go crazy

[dbreiden83080]

it will be an 8pt game with 4:56 to play shit come on guys. We blow this game and the whole series may change.

[duncanchick21]

wow

[itzsoweezee]

NEVER put Jacque Vaughn in to being a quarter, especially the fourth.

cosign. and when he is in the game, ginobili should be the primary ballhandler.

[florige]

24-6 in the fourth. Fucking pathetic. I'm glad Pop thought the damn game was over at the end of the third.


Man we look freakin lost on both ends!!!!!

[ManuTim_best of Fwiendz]

Manu is going to attack hard now.

[ballhog]

Where's Horry?

[Budkin]

Spurs still got this... I hope Pop is ripping them to shreds right now.

[Aggie Hoopsfan]

Don't understand sitting the starters so long and keeping our backups in. This is the Finals - we can rest when we win 4.

Typical Pop. He should have heeded his own pre-game advice when he reminded the team that it was the Finals. He managed the minutes at the start of the fourth like it was a pre-season game.

[dtrain]

Seriously, no reason to freak out. Very typical of the Spurs. It just adds to the drama. I swear that Pop does this on purpose by putting crazy lineups in so that the team doesn't get too confident. Plus it dashes Cleveland's hopes at the end when we pull it out.

[Spurs Brazil]

Tony!!!!!!!!!!!!!

[Cant_Be_Faded]

Weare Witnessing A Chokejob Of Epic Proportions!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!1


Omg Omg

[itzsoweezee]

i'd rather have finley in the game than can't buy a shot barry

[himat]

I think the Spurs just want some sort of fun now.

[Cant_Be_Faded]

i thought for sure the days of choking like this were over

i have never seen anything like this from this era

we are witnessing a worse chokejob than the laker rivalry
omg

[baseline bum]

Bowen back in!

[Capt Bringdown]

This is the choke job of the century. C'mon Spurs!

[davemaniscool]

Spurs relaxed and Pop put the scrubs in. Cleveland caught up. big deal. spurs still win

[TampaDude]

26-4 are you fucking kidding me.

Pop will have their asses.

This is what happens when one team (Spurs) are just trying to run out the clock and the other team (Cavs) is desperately trying to score.

[Admidave50]

Tony saves the day

[efrem1]

Milk the clock idiots!!!

[resistanze]

Lebron gotta look for his own shot.

[JustSpurs]

Manu!

[duncanchick21]

Manu!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!

[florige]

Game!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!

[Tha Carter]

Manu!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!

[NASpurs]

Manuuuuuu!!!

[Leetonidas]

FOUR POINT PLAY BABY! :smokin

[TampaDude]

4-point play for Gino!!!

[Cant_Be_Faded]

ginobili just saved our entire playoffs' run's ass

[davemaniscool]

Spurs relaxed and Pop put the scrubs in. Cleveland caught up. big deal. spurs still win

I love being right :lol

[ballhog]

Manuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuu

[Spurs Brazil]

Manu tres and one!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!

[dtrain]

Ginoooooooooooooobli! 3 and 1!

[easjer]

HUGE 3 by Manu, and 1!

[Cherry]

Manu 3 And Foul! Yes!!!

[ClingingMars]

GINOBILI WITH THE DAGGER! 4 POINT PLAY!

-Mars

[resistanze]

Game Over!

[ChumpDumper]

What's happening? I'm watching the Simpsons.

[Jelly]

At there next film meeting, Pop needs to get in his own fucking face and call a HIMSELF out for either losing the game or blowing a 29 point lead. These guys are playing their hearts out. They're not superhuman. This is down to Pop's stupid adjustments.

[FreeMad Dan]

Nicccceeee

[Leetonidas]

That's how you do it MAYNE

[mVp]

Manu with the 4 point play !!

[TampaDude]

When Manu wants more magnets, Manu gets more magnets!!! :lol

[efrem1]

Thank you Manu!!!

[ClingingMars]

longest 2 minutes of hte playoffs.

-Mars

[Texas_Ranger]

Manu!!!

[Leetonidas]

:pctoss

Why the FUCK do they keep leaving Cleveland's shooters WIDE FUCKING OPEN!!!

[dtrain]

We do have to cover Gibson better. 2 minutes and a 9 point game. We are good.

[Death In June]

Man, our PA sounds like he has autism when he gets excited.

[JustSpurs]

Dunk-a-roo!

[Admidave50]

Manuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuu Tres

[NASpurs]

:lmao POP fell

[mVp]

Foul on Pop! OMG

[florige]

Damn Horry lol!!

[davemaniscool]

game over. good night Cleveland

[NASpurs]

GOTTA gif it

[duncanchick21]

Horry with the dirty play on Pop

[TampaDude]

Horry thought Pop was Steve Nash... :lol

[ClingingMars]

Game over...

-Mars

[Leetonidas]

Pop flopped.

[Jelly]

I hope that body slam fucking hurt Pop!!!

[baseline bum]

Rob Nashes Pop :lmao

[Cherry]

poor Pop :lol

[FreeMad Dan]

awwww.... pop flopped :lmao j/k

[Admidave50]

So stupid to leave a shooter open at 3! Make Lebron have his tought shot damnit

[duncanchick21]

side show bob still selling the flops

[davemaniscool]

another varaflop foul. both going for the ball.

[florige]

Good way to almost piss away this game guys.. Sheeesh!!!!

[efrem1]

Game (I think is) over!!

[Tek_XX]

Ha the day pop haters were waiting for.

[TampaDude]

Wow...the Spurs actually won by double digits...

[easjer]

Come on.

Damn it.

James needed ONE MORE fucking point.

Fucker.

[ballhog]

It's Beno time.

[ClingingMars]

CAN THE PLAYOFF ROBERT HORRY PLEASE SHOW UP FOR THE WHOLE SEASON?

-Mars

[baseline bum]

Rob with block #5!

[duncanchick21]

Mark, they made the come back with the subs, not the starters

[davemaniscool]

Spurs let up. if that makes Cleveland feel better then so be it

[Texas_Ranger]

Go Beno!!!

[fuckespn]

Spurs won't win by double digits...
nice prediction

[baseline bum]

2 more baby!!

[objective]

why was Barry getting the 4th quarter minutes over Finley?

Whenever there was 16-20 seconds left on the shot clock he was chucking bricked threes. Then when the shot clock was running out, he was passing up shots.

[ChumpDumper]

So, Cavs in 6.

[Borosai]

Reminds me of the Utah series...giving up big leads in the 4th. Actually, it's identical.

A win is a win though. At least I didn't kick my cat.

[NASpurs]

:lmao :lmao @ Pop falling

[florige]

That was partly Pops fault. He left that dumbass lineup in too long, and it all went to hell when Barry missed those wide open shots. Our starters came in and were cold and were unfocused..

[Spurs Brazil]

It's fine, now the apropriate fear will be there for game 3

[easjer]

Well, thanks a lot for the heart attack assholes.

D was off most of the night, and the Cavs finally took advantage.

At least they pulled it together and won by double digits. I fucking hate (HATE) dropping a 30 point lead. Fuck me.

Cavs will pick up a close game 3 and then the Spurs will snap out of it and win in 5.

[Admidave50]

2-0 Let's get it done in Cleveland!!

[Budkin]

As nerve wracking as this was to watch... I think it's really really good for us. They won't have huge heads going to Cleveland.

[peskypesky]

Mark, they made the come back with the subs, not the starters

Exactly. What a fuckiing idjit. And he gets paid?

[mVp]

Just 2 more wins!

[Admidave50]

TD with ZERO blks but with nearly a Triple double with 9 rbds and 8 asst

[Darkwaters]

That was almost scary down the stretch...

[florige]

It's fine, now the apropriate fear will be there for game 3


We still stopped them when it counted, so I see nothing for CLe to take into game three except they managed to whup or backups for 6-7 minutes, then our cold starters for about 2 minutes until we regained our focus.

[RashoFan]

how many pts did LeBron get?

[Texas_Ranger]

Duncan is still the MVP of the series because of his rebounding and blocks and his assists too.

Agree.
Spurs with Tim are great.
Spurs without Tim SUCK!

[TampaDude]

nice prediction

Sure as hell looked that way, though, didn't it? For a minute there, there was a chance the Spurs could lose.

WHY OH WHY do they keep doing this shit? I was so looking forward to the "Spurs crush Cavs in Game 2" headlines...but they didn't crush the Cavs at all...they gave the Cavs GIGANTIC MOMENTUM going back to Cleveland...Cavs sweep at home...BOOK IT...Spurs in 7 in triple OT.

[Aggie Hoopsfan]

Spurs still got this... I hope Pop is ripping them to shreds right now.

He needs to rip himself to shreds for that shit lineup to start the fourth, and then amplifying the problem by running all the plays to start the fourth for Vaughn, Bowen, and Oberto jump shots.

Meanwhile, Manu was stuck on the weak side away from the play.

[Budkin]

Well, thanks a lot for the heart attack assholes.

D was off most of the night, and the Cavs finally took advantage.

At least they pulled it together and won by double digits. I fucking hate (HATE) dropping a 30 point lead. Fuck me.

Cavs will pick up a close game 3 and then the Spurs will snap out of it and win in 5.

Same feeling here... though with the way we finished that game I wouldn't be surprised if we pulled out Game 3... we will have the approprite fear.

[florige]

That was almost scary down the stretch...


Almost?????

[easjer]

25 points for leBron. Fuck me. ONE more. That's all I needed.


Asshole.

[td4mvp21]

Weirdest game ever.....

[Admidave50]

how many pts did LeBron get?

25 pts 7 rbds 6 ass 6 tos

[dbreiden83080]

I agree with what Van-Gundy said. This should help the Spurs. Got a little lazy and the Cavs got hot, now they know to keep the intensity up the rest of the way.
