Finals Game 3: Spurs vs Cavs Official Game Blog Thread

[Aggie Hoopsfan]

Only thing I can think is that Bruce thot we still had a foul to give.

Makes up for all the missed calls against TD tonight.

Nope, that was planned, you could read Pop's lips during the second to last timeout.

[Budkin]

Well, Tony is still in the running for MVP since Duncan had such a shit game.

[DudleyDawson]

Brent Barry = great interview

[crazyspursfan]

wat up the cavs frieken king i think the real king left the house and went and took a dump lol

[T Park]

Coming out of the timeout Pop gave the hands waving motion saying "no fouls"

[CubanMustGo]

Really, really surprised the Cavs did not get more of a lift from the home crowd. Then again the home crowd seemed much less into it than, say, the Utah crowd.

[DudleyDawson]

Bruce Bowen will go down as one of the most appreciated Spurs players of all time.

[efrem1]

Only three puntos for Manu and we still get the W. This thing is over Thursday. Once again, gas up the riverboats boys!! :elephant

[T Park]

Big fucking ups to Lebron

"Incidental contact. I missed the shot"


Props Lebron. You've gained MAJOR respect tonight.

[Kobulingam]

Incidental Contact!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!

[TampaDude]

Wow...LeBron taking the weight for that missed 3 at the end...classy! :toast

[hoopdreams11]

Bruce Bowen should win the Finals MVP , if the media is SMART and knows the real reason behind WHY we're winning.


My thoughts exactly that would pour salt in alot of wounds

[michaelwcho]

WOW. Spurs win, after all that garbage. I guess i should be happy, but somehow I'm not. I mean, wtf was Bruce doing there at the end? Trying to give Lebron 3 ft's??

I feel like I've been pummelled. However, I never really thought we would lose....personally.

Bruce obviously intentionally fouled LeBron. Therefore, LB, should have gotten 2 free throws.

Why Van Gundy would interpret that as a 3 point shot continuation is way beyond me.

[Kobulingam]

Bowened!!!!!!!!!

BOWENNNNNNNNNNN!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!


Spurs are the BIG FOUR!!!!!!!!!!

[Aggie Hoopsfan]

Coming out of the timeout Pop gave the hands waving motion saying "no fouls"

It's called gamesmanship. They showed the team huddle in the second to last timeout (before Pop called the 20 second TO). You could read Pop's lips saying 'after they inbound, foul while it's on the ground'.

That was CIAPop all the way yelling out 'no foul'.

[Admidave50]

Really? He seems to be all whiny at the end of the game!

[Budkin]

Wilbon needs to shut the fuck up about the last play.... deal with it asshole!!!

[Obstructed_View]

Big fucking ups to Lebron

"Incidental contact. I missed the shot"


Props Lebron. You've gained MAJOR respect tonight.
Yep. Especially since Bruce fucked up BAD.

[Kobulingam]

Bbbbbbbbbbbbbbb
Oooooooooooo
Wwwwwwwwww
Eeeeeeeeeeeeee
Nnnnnnnnnnnnnn
!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!


Omg Fucking Bowen!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!! !!!!!!!!!

Fucking Bowen!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!

Omg I Love Bowen!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!

[Budkin]

Big fucking ups to Lebron

"Incidental contact. I missed the shot"

Word. He manned up.

[Budkin]

Wilbon just won't give up... he can't accept it!!!! :lmao

[NuGGeTs-FaN]

Man, the Cavs and Lechoke suck, what a horrible team and an unworthy finals opponent

The NBA seriously needs to look at playing east vs west from round 1 in the playoffs

[Hoop]

Go Spurs Go!!!

SPURS IN 4!!

[UV Ray]

Big fucking ups to Lebron

"Incidental contact. I missed the shot"


Props Lebron. You've gained MAJOR respect tonight.

Rubbish. There's been sweeps before, and the league has survived.
No need to micromanage the NBA playoff format just so your Thuggets can avoid getting pounded by the Spurs.

Dirk! I came into the game blog just to find you and you did not disappoint!
I hope your walk helps.

You do understand now that the Spurs are going to win the Championship, don't you?

It's not too late to change your team and join us for the celebration.
Be happy for Finley. You can go back to the Mavs after we win.

[Darkwaters]

15 going on 4

[Johnny RIngo]

Respect to Lebron. He's got good sportsmanship. He'll probably win a championship sometime in his future unlike Steve Trash and Amare Stoudewhiner who will continue to bitch for the rest of their pathetic NBA careers.

[nobodi_home]

For the die-hard Sprus fan, I guess Game 3 is a happy occasion. You say, "we won, we won, and a win is great whenever and wherever you can get it." Maybeeeeeeee, and I'm a Spurs fan like most of the guys on here, but this really was a piece a crap performance on both sides. And it's been crappy from the get-go.Yes, there were some positives tonight, but all this SLOPPY PLAY, pathetic field goal percentages, pathetic free throw percentages, all the friggin turnovers, and yes, the idiot refs and their brain dead bad calls. And then there's the MORON SUPREMO'S at Asshole Broadcasting Company (ABC) to confound and confuse things even more.

This NBA Finals is definitely not one where I'll be saving any of the recorded tape and DVD's. Hats of to San Antonio if they get their 4ths title but I hope they do some reflection on how it came about. They can look at their regular season after the all star break and say, "hey, we played some good ball down the home stretch", and that would be very true, and they should be pleased with several of those Feb-April games. But this farce we see now is really a shame.

But worse, Cleveland, most of all, is positively the most pathetic team I've seen in 20 years to make it to the Finals. It would be so much better if the fuckhead millionaires that run things would simply do away with this playoff shit altogether.

At the end of the regular season, let the two teams with the best records enter a 5 or 7 game Finals matchup and the winner is the new champ. THEN you get rid of these NOT READY FOR PRIMETIME jokers like Cleveland, who back their way into the annual basketball showcase.

Naturally, I realize this would have also eliminated San Antonio this year as Dallas would have been the candidate for the West, and that would not be good for Spurs fans, but I cannot imagine things being worse had Dallas, with the best record in the West, played Detroit, the team with the best record in the East. Nope, no title for SAS, but we would not have been subjected to all this shit we're seeing now.

But the fucking moron millionaires, and their moron cronies at the idiot TV NUTworks, must have an excuse to stretch this out an additional two months.

They may well play another game in a few days, but who the hell cares?
Commissioner Stern, you're the sorriest fucking pig in all of basketball.

[T Park]

nice post

oh wait

its totall bullshit, and I have no clue why you say your a Spurs fan.

If you are, your the worst by far and away

[Jelly]

It's funny to listen to manu's brother comments on argentinian TV. He just wants to change his last name.

that's a horrible thing to say, if he said it. Way to support your brother. What an asshole.

[RogerIsEatingASandwich]

The Game is being replayed right now,for those who have nothing to do and would like to watch it again.

[T Park]

its only midnight here on the west coast.

What the hell why not :)

[nobodi_home]

Well, I didn't much expect any positive reply to my previous comment. But you chaps with your nasty comments tell me that you have no interest in quality basketball. You apparently are OUTCOME BASED in your approach to things. All you care about is A SPURS WIN. You don't seem to give a damn how it comes about. Good play, shitty play, dirty play, anything will do, eh? THAT is nothing to be proud of gentlemen.

But your comments simply ad fuel to my previous remarks, that yes indeed, the Spurs AND Cavs shouldn't even be in the Finals this year. LOOK AT THE SLOPPY gameplay. Are we not seeing why San Antonio did not win 31 road games, as did Dallas? Sure. So you sorry dicks that just want YOUR TEAM to win, even when they play like crap, I feel bad for you. Such people do not have a genuine appreciation for the game. If the Spurs win, playing like the crap, what good is it? And especially for people on this board, and fans everywhere? Is Duncan and Parker going to give the people on this message board part of their winnings????

A game like the one on Tuesday was bound to happen between these two teams. Cleveland is an excellent defensive team, almost as good as the Spurs, but they are absolutely awful on offense. They made it this far at least as much on account of their defensive efficiency as on the shoulders of LeBron James. The Spurs turned in a poor game, much like Game 2 in Phoenix or Game 3 in Utah. The difference is that Cleveland sucks so bad on offense, that the Spurs could still win.

[Extra Stout]

Your argument about Dallas is bizarre, I must admit, given how they promptly choked against Golden State in the first round. That is your vision of the team that should be representing the West?

And Detroit should go over a Cleveland team that won just three fewer games in an 82-game season, and then beat the Pistons in a best-of-7 series?

I think you have a very different vision of what the sport of basketball is supposed to be.
