Game 3.

[Marcus Bryant]

I expect the Spurs to go for the jugular in this game. No need to F around and certainly no need for Brent to take off the warm-ups. But I repeat myself. When the Spurs play their top 7 players the Cavs don't stand a chance. Get the fucking win.

[T Park]

agreed.

keep barry in warm ups and the Spurs will increase their chances of winning by about 500%

[ducks]

if cavs lose it is over

[timvp]

If the Spurs come out and give a good effort, they'll have a shot at the end. If they give an effort like they gave in Game 2 versus the Suns or Game 3 versus Utah, the Cavs could hop right back into the series.

[Fuster]

Horry will be big in games 3 and 4.

[leemajors]

if parker keeps it up i like our chances. horry can smell it now, too. should be a great game.

[Budkin]

It's going to be a close game but if the Spurs keep the pedal down the whole time we have a shot.

[Obstructed_View]

They still aren't shooting well from outside the paint. If the Spurs miss jumpers like they have the last two games, either we have to give the Cavs defense credit or we have to start using the S word to describe the Spurs' shooters.

[BeerIsGood!]

This is the game of the series thus far. If the Spurs show up to weather the Cavs energy and surges and play hard for 48 they can win this next one. They had game 3 against Utah right where they wanted it for a half before failing to show up for the 2nd half.

This next game is the game for the Title. Spurs win game 3 and they are poised for the sweep over the deflated Cavs.

This is the time to win the title. 48 minutes to position yourself to finish them off.

If there's one negative from games 1 and 2, it's the over-reliance on the big 3. Now Tony is on fire right now, but he hasn't proved yet that he can be an equally dominant force on the road, especially on the biggest stage. I wouldn't be surprised if one of the big 3 lays an egg on Tuesday.

If Finley/Bowen/Barry don't make start making threes on a more consistent basis, we could easily drop a game.

[T Park]

yeah he never plays well on the road in the playoffs :rolleyes

dudes a superstar and you fuckers continue to nitpick.

[dbreiden83080]

I actually think the Spurs will win a close game 3. Come out way overconfident for game 4 and then win the series in the 5th game. I would be shocked if this comes back to SA.

not a chance.

If the spurs win game 3 this puppy is over in 4.

[dbreiden83080]

not a chance.

If the spurs win game 3 this puppy is over in 4.

We'll see i think the Cavs have had too good a year to let themselves get swept in the finals. I do think they are winning 1 of the next 2.

[TampaDude]

I predict the Spurs will lose Game 3 by double digits, then win Games 4 and 5...Spurs in 5...BOOK IT!!!

I dunno.

I think the Spurs are smelling blood, and if they get game 3, Horry, Ginobili, Duncan, and others may just come out hardcore, and step on the gas pedal for the full 48.

TP had major defensive assignments in his previous finals (Kidd and Billups). In this one, he has a hobbled Hughes and a Boobie. A big difference.

[florige]

As MB said, Cle hasn't proven to the contrary that they can do ANYTHING with our main 7. I re-watched the 2nd half and you got really sloppy and it almost cost us big time. They have showed that they only can beat us when we make stupid mistakes. Ex: Pop pulling the starters too early. Then when they come back into the game we are cold as ice and completly out of sync, while the Cavs have all the momentum and are hot. But you saw what happened when we got our composure back. We would have won that game by 20 if the game were another 5 minutes. As much as I would like to jump all over Barry and the subs, I can't help but to difer most of this near meltdown on Pop. Almost makes me wonder if this crap wasn't done on purpose as to keep from what happened in Det two years from happening again.

nets totally adjusted and wanted to stop tp
nuggets,suns, jazz and cavs are trying nothing is working

[Slomo]

Their job is to steal one of the next three, but if they would win game 3 I believe the serie would be over.

[Marcus Bryant]

Nobody outside of these 9 should see the court and in Vaughn's case, only to spell TP for perhaps 8 minutes.

TP
Finley
Bowen
Duncan
Oberto

Vaughn
Manu
Horry
Elson

[hater]

we will lose game 3

[BeerIsGood!]

Whatever happened in game 3?

Oh yeah...

[sprrs]

This was also the one game where Barry showed up.
