Finals Game 3: Spurs vs Cavs Official Game Blog Thread

[timvp]

Tonight is the night that the Spurs can leave a legacy of dominance. Get this game and prove to the world who the best basketball team on earth is.

Believe.

1.

[Obstructed_View]

Show up. Take care of business. Don't order room service.

[JustSpurs]

Represent!

[dbreiden83080]

If the Spurs just play through a likely early run and maybe some bad calls they should be fine. If they are within striking distance at the half the Cavs will probably fold in the 2nd half. Spurs just have to bring the energy the whole game.

[greens]

"Appropriate fear"...that's all the Spurs need.

[batman2883]

No Egg Salad Sandwhiches Guys, And Dont Let The Refs Take The Game Into Their Own Hands!!!

[batman2883]

Manobili!!!!!

[J.T.]

Win today, and the series is practically over. Lose, and it gets tougher. Spurs will take care of business.

[Manu20]

I have a feeling Finley will score 20+ points tonight.

[alamo50]

I have a feeling Finley will score 20+ points tonight.

I was just gonna post that.
Mike will be the man tonight.

Spurs by 5.

Believe?
Yes, I still believe in the sweep I called as soon as Cleveland got into the Finals.

GO SPURS GO!!!

[Ya Vez]

[stéphane]

Spurs are gonna kill me...

You know it's a victory.

[Jules]

Tune in early for tonight's game... Ben Harper is performing "The Star-Spangled Banner" on slide guitar about 8:50ish (EDT).

[ClingingMars]

just make it game time already!

-Mars

[dknights411]

Let's hope they have another equipment breakdown at the Q tonight to take the crowd out of it. :downspin:

[stéphane]

just make it game time already!

-Mars

very true i'm already past my 4th straight coffee ^^

[mVp]

I don't wanna say this, but if we get this win tonight... It's pretty much over...

BELIEVE!!

[Spurs Brazil]

Cleveland guard Larry Hughes, hampered throughout the postseason by a torn muscle in his left heel, has been placed on the inactive list for tonight's game, according to the city's ABC News Channel 5 affiliate.

In his place, David Wesley has been activated.

Hughes has been largely ineffective in the series, going 1-for-11 from the field and playing 43 minutes in the first two games.

Gibson gonna start then. Time to see if this kid's for real.

[Obstructed_View]

One interesting thing I keep hearing: Role players play better at home. The Spurs have won two games by rather large margins with their role players scoring next to nothing and their outside shooters hitting almost nothing. Not going to be a factor. Spurs roll.

And if the Spurs win two more games, this series is pretty much over.

[TPnumber1]

Go spurs Go !!!! :madrun

[baseline bum]

Remember game 3 in Portland, 99 WCF.

[Sonia_TX]

Man.... 30 minutes!!! I can't wait!

[sa_kid20]

I don't wanna say this, but if we get this win tonight... It's pretty much over...

BELIEVE!!
its already over right now. we just have to many weapons for them to handle; we might as well go get in line at valero for that free coffe right now!

[dknights411]

Remember game 3 in Portland, 99 WCF.

I dunno. That series was pretty much a blur after game 2. :king

[Mr.Bottomtooth]

Remember game 3 in Portland, 99 WCF.
What happened? I wasn't into the Spurs then.

[Spurs Brazil]

What happened? I wasn't into the Spurs then.

We KILLED them with TD scoring only 5pts

The Admiral played a monster game on D and JJ made some triples

[4001 STEREO SPUR]

It was a great blowout.

Here's to one for us tonight :elephant :elephant

[bdubya]

(won't be able to watch - got to attend my birthday dinner instead...so...)

Good luck, Spurs! Tonight you just might actually need it. Cavs'll have a little confidence, TONS of energy from the home crowd and friendly rims for the role players, a whistle that wants this series to go as long as possible....Good luck!

[themvp]

Go Spurs Go!

[Obstructed_View]

What happened? I wasn't into the Spurs then.
The Blazers weren't worried after losing their first two games because they'd be okay once they got on their home court. They got dismantled.

[ObiwanGinobili]

Hola peeps.

[01Snake]

Wow. This rendition is horrible!

[ObiwanGinobili]

i gotta say, this anthem on the guitar rocks.

[Viva Las Espuelas]

i hope he gets the words right.

[dbreiden83080]

AHHH what is that shit they are playing it is hurting my ears. Could they not get someone to sing the national anthem.

[ObiwanGinobili]

Wow. This rendition is horrible!

:lol I liked it.

[S4Spur21]

I agree, that was terrible.

[bdubya]

Best Fucking Finals Anthem Ever

[ObiwanGinobili]

HAH!!
this is the music I wanted for the the Home game intor's!

[ClingingMars]

We are the Empire, boys...the bad guys indeed.

-Mars

[Leetonidas]

THE IMPERIAL MARCH!!! HAHA. WTF we're the fucking SITH?? LMAO! :lmao

[S4Spur21]

This music is a hell lot better.

[Borosai]

Oh yeah, game time is right around the corner.

[dougp]

i gotta say, this anthem on the guitar rocks.
Sorry but it's an insult to our anthem ... he's really butchering it IMO.

Did anyone else see Goodsen (the dude with the pussy on the back of his neck) was talking during the anthem ... assfuck.

LOL @ imperial death march during the Spurs ...

[ObiwanGinobili]

THE IMPERIAL MARCH!!! HAHA. WTF we're the fucking SITH?? LMAO! :lmao

Fuck YES! I am loving this!

[ObiwanGinobili]

Cav's home game intro music >>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>> Spur's home game intro music.

[Tek_XX]

Cavs intro ain't that much better than ours

[S4Spur21]

haha, Scott Pollard

[ClingingMars]

Darth Vader (Duncan) and the Emperor himself (Pop) are here to spoil your party, LeBron.

-Mars

[MaNuMaNiAc]

they're playin the Imperial March??? FUCK!!! they're not showing it here yet, I'm missing it!!

[bdubya]

Sorry but it's an insult to our anthem ... he's really butchering it IMO.



Live with it. Ben Harper ROCKS.

Are they gonna bring out Joe Walsh for the next game?

[DudleyDawson]

Our entrance is so fucking homosexual!!!

It is the worst in all of processional sports

[Leetonidas]

Damn this intro is awesome. :tu

[dbreiden83080]

Shit could the PA guy be fucking yelling any louder.

[rasho8]

I think the intro we just got with the "Imperial March" was about a billion times better than "Yall ready for 1992?"

[NASpurs]

Y'all Ready for This >>>>>>>>>>>> everyone else

[ClingingMars]

That's as loud as you got, Cleveland?

-Mars

[easjer]

Almost ready for game time. Just finishing up dinner now and then I'll bump the computer over.

Play strong tonight Spurs! I realize that by wearing the purple tank top instead of the green shirt, I've already diminished your chances, but I got faith. :lol

Go Spurs GO.

[Leetonidas]

That was pretty awesome. I think that was better than the 2005 Pistons intro.

[pooh]

loved the opening: slicing the logo up...cool

[dbreiden83080]

Cavs are pumped they will play well tonight you can feel it.

[ObiwanGinobili]

I think the intro we just got with the "Imperial March" was about a billion times better than "Yall ready for 1992?"

:tu

[ObiwanGinobili]

Y'all Ready for This >>>>>>>>>>>> everyone else
:vomit:

[Darkwaters]

The Cavs announcer sounds really annoying. At least the guy that did the introductions. He could barely say their names as he was falling all over himself.

[DudleyDawson]

After their intro, it's all downhill for Cavs fans...

[bdubya]

Why is the Cavs mascot a bear? Shouldn't it be a guy on a horse?

[ClingingMars]

that NBA Finals intro needs more Jordan.

-Mars

[easjer]

Just hoping the surprise thunderstorm doesn't hurt the tv. I'm seeing lightning. . .

[SilverPlayer]

Cavs hoping the hype carries them through the day.

Boobie is starting.

We shall see if it is enough.

[rasho8]

game time... Im out.

[ClingingMars]

Is that POTC music?

-Mars

[ObiwanGinobili]

earlier watchign the pre-pre=game ESPN coverage.. they kept showing LeBron highlights from the EECF whenever they were talking about the Spurs/Cavs finals.
WTF? espn bastards.

[Tek_XX]

I'll be happy if the Spurs just stay in this game. Their history of game 3's is not good.

[yeahone]

that home crowd looks hungry...hope spurs withstand cleveleand early asssualt

[midgetonadonkey]

Who gives a fuck about intros. I'll take wins over a good intro.

[Leetonidas]

That Imperial March intro was fucking great. It made us seem all evil, like we were a daunting force of which not to be fucked with. Good choice of music, Cavs. :tu

The Spurs people should be ashamed.

[ObiwanGinobili]

Why is the Cavs mascot a bear? Shouldn't it be a guy on a horse?

or a cavalier?


:lol

[01Snake]

WTF? They have the intros and now are having a shoot-around?

[Darkwaters]

Why do we have a coyote?

[ClingingMars]

JVG sounds confident in us.

-Mars

[Viva Las Espuelas]

Who gives a fuck about intros. I'll take wins over a good intro.PALABRA!!!!!!!!!!!
-Viva

[Tek_XX]

earlier watchign the pre-pre=game ESPN coverage.. they kept showing LeBron highlights from the EECF whenever they were talking about the Spurs/Cavs finals.
WTF? espn bastards.

In all fairness they can't keep showing his one uncontested dunk in the last game. That's all he's got.

[midgetonadonkey]

that home crowd looks hungry...hope spurs withstand cleveleand early asssualt

Early assault? Is the crowd playing or what?

[hitmanyr2k]

With the way the Spurs have been branded as villains in these playoffs the Imperial March theme was the perfect opener for them :lol

[ObiwanGinobili]

Why do we have a coyote?

local wildlife.
I saw one in Universal City this weekend....

are you saying they have bears IN cleveland?

[SilverPlayer]

Just a quick call right now. Barry isn't going to miss a single trey he takes tonight. I guarantee it.

If he plays at all.

[yeahone]

go spurs go lets paly some good ball for 48 minutes

[easjer]

Heh, I thought the slicing up the logo was pretty fruity.

I missed the intro of the Spurs - Imperial Death March?!?! I wanted that at home for the Spurs!

"Will history repeat itself?" SFIE responds, "Yes, the Spurs will lose to Utah tonight." At the same time I said, "Yeah, I expect the Spurs to drop the series to the Lakers."

[DudleyDawson]

Who gives a fuck about intros. I'll take wins over a good intro.why not both?

[bendmz]

we need to fly the Aggie Band up there for game 4's intro.......

[midgetonadonkey]

local wildlife.
I saw one in Universal City this weekend....

are you saying they have bears IN cleveland?

My grandmother was eaten by coyotes.

[dbreiden83080]

Lebron should does Dunk a lot in warmups. Might wanna shoot a few more jumpers Lebron, that needs the work.

[Melmart1]

local wildlife.
I saw one in Universal City this weekend....

are you saying they have bears IN cleveland?
Does the zoo count? :)

[ObiwanGinobili]

In all fairness they can't keep showing his one uncontested dunk in the last game. That's all he's got.


:lol

and in all fairness, showing highlights of Parker etc dominating would've been so boring even the sports talkingheads would've passed out on air.

[yeahone]

Early assault? Is the crowd playing or what?
but the cavs gonna feed of that energy

[MaNuMaNiAc]

Come On Spurs!!!

[midgetonadonkey]

but the cavs gonna feed of that energy

O RLY

[ObiwanGinobili]

My grandmother was eaten by coyotes.

You see Simba, we are all part of the great circle of life.

[Tek_XX]

Imperial Death March? That would be giving the opponent too much credit. Remember the empire did strick back.

[ObiwanGinobili]

Heh, I thought the slicing up the logo was pretty fruity.

"Will history repeat itself?" SFIE responds, "Yes, the Spurs will lose to Utah tonight." At the same time I said, "Yeah, I expect the Spurs to drop the series to the Lakers."


ME TOO!

[yeahone]

do you relasie that cavs have no offesne coming of the bench

[phxspurfan]

Duncan always steals the tip

[ObiwanGinobili]

Imperial Death March? That would be giving the opponent too much credit. Remember the empire did strick back.


no no, we wanted at hgome for the SPURS intro.. not for cle. intro.

[yeahone]

go parker

[Spurs Brazil]

Yes TP!

[Darkwaters]

Horrible shot selection by Finley

[baseline bum]

The Spurs should never let Finley go on the block with his back to the basket.

[yeahone]

hughes looks better on the bench

[MaNuMaNiAc]

ok, so first ref misscall

[Darkwaters]

Who replaced Hughes on the active list?

[yeahone]

come on tp

[phxspurfan]

time for the spurs to beat the cavs with eastern conference ball now. bruisin!

[Budkin]

Two bricks for TP.

[midgetonadonkey]

Who replaced Hughes on the active list?

Ire Newble

[yeahone]

how will boobie performance be as a starter?

[hitmanyr2k]

No Hughes = great chance for a Cavs win.

[DudleyDawson]

Parker is a disgrace at the free throw line

[baseline bum]

Shit, Fin was wide open there.

[Spurs Brazil]

Td!!!!!!!!!!!

[yeahone]

timmmmmmmmmmmmmmyyyyyyyyyyy

[Budkin]

Timmy!

[easjer]

'Bout time. Sloppy start doesn't fill me with confidence.

Yeah, the 4th chance points will kill ya.

[ObiwanGinobili]

there' no Cav's fans in here?

[Budkin]

Gotta keep Z off the O board.

[midgetonadonkey]

Td!!!!!!!!!!!

Very insightful. You are a brilliant poster.

[yeahone]

tddddddddddd

[ObiwanGinobili]

Timmy!

[easjer]

Timmy came to play.

[Budkin]

Timmy again!

[baseline bum]

Why no Duncan/Parker P&R?

[midgetonadonkey]

Tiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiii iiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiim

[MaNuMaNiAc]

:lol at duncan shuting up the crowd

[Spurs Brazil]

Bs!

[phxspurfan]

were already letting everyone go middle. this is not good.

[Darkwaters]

Cavs defense looks more intense tonight. I still think we win though.

[Budkin]

Man our guys looked weak on that rebound replay. Grab that shit!

[MaNuMaNiAc]

ok, so we didn't come to rebound today

[easjer]

there' no Cav's fans in here?


They'll show up after the game if they win tonight talking a sweep of the remaining games.

[ObiwanGinobili]

Tiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiii iiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiim

you are a poster of the highest calbier.
I bow to your greatness.

[ObiwanGinobili]

we are getting out rebounded.



again.

[baseline bum]

Ilgauskas with the Nazr hands.

[Budkin]

Timmy misses a layup... ugh.

[ObiwanGinobili]

They'll show up after the game if they win tonight talking a sweep of the remaining games.

:lol

gota admit. They are blindly loyal.

[Budkin]

Horrible shot by Oberto.

[ObiwanGinobili]

fucking brick by fabricio,

[baseline bum]

Terrible shot and then a dumb foul

[Spurs Brazil]

We're taking some bad shots

[easjer]

Damn. They need to TRY to go inside at least. Ball movement is ok, but they've got no reason to leave you open right now, because no one is inside.

[hitmanyr2k]

I wish Oberto would try a pumpfake on that turnaround. Just that one extra move probably gets Big Z in the air and he has a free lane for a lay up.

[MaNuMaNiAc]

Wtf!! Rebound People!! Reeeebounnddd!!

[baseline bum]

Fuck was Bowen doing on that possesion?

[Spurs Brazil]

2PF on Oberto

[ObiwanGinobili]

Spurs are waiting on a player to show up.


defense.

[easjer]

Again, second chance points are bad.

Third and fourth and fifth chance points are VERY bad.

Annnnnd O-foul. Sigh. Going to be a long night.

[Budkin]

Not a good start... good thing we're only down one.

[yeahone]

the refs tart really earlyyyyyyy

[midgetonadonkey]

Wow, you can see the Cavs just feeding off of the energy of the crowd.

[MaNuMaNiAc]

Call a fucking time out! we're playing like shit!

[Spurs Brazil]

TD bank!

[MaNuMaNiAc]

Well, at least Tim came to play

[hitmanyr2k]

Duncan is in killer mode right now. You can see it in his eyes.

[ObiwanGinobili]

Nazr - pumpfakes x's 1000
Oberto - 0 pumpfakes.


so i guesss we find a guy named Nazberto and we'll be all set.

[Budkin]

Well at least Timmy is on.

[easjer]

No Salvatore tonight, huh? Ah well, Fryer is there. Hopefully Danny Crawford keeps it remotely even.

[ObiwanGinobili]

Well, at least Tim came to play

this is hte game where he earns his MVP.

[rascal]

This will be the toughest game for the spurs in the series. Its Clevelands only chance at a win. Spurs sweep if they take this game or win in 5 if they don't.

[yeahone]

we need manu to play good toniht its gonna beo ne of those night

[twentyone]

TP fading already? he needs to get after it!

[phxspurfan]

Wow, you can see the Cavs just feeding off of the energy of the crowd.


imagine if we had to play the warriors.

[MaNuMaNiAc]

Boooweeeeeeeen

[iflyabeech]

Bbbbrrruuuuccee!!

[phxspurfan]

niiice receovery of that play. boewn for 3

[yeahone]

bowen lets keep the crowd out of it

[ObiwanGinobili]

Bowen from the sweet spot.


thanks Horry :)

[midgetonadonkey]

bruuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuu uuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuu uuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuu uuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuu uuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuu uuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuu uuce

[yeahone]

rebound guys

[Darkwaters]

please box out!!!

[easjer]

Glad SOMEONE else hit a shot.

They've got to rebound. Like, at all. Not just better . . . at all.

[MaNuMaNiAc]

man, our defense sucks now

[dougp]

Let's see if they can pick themselves up ... hopefully come together at halftime.

[phxspurfan]

james with the hop skip and jump

[twentyone]

Ah my stomach. I need dramamine.

[Tek_XX]

Spurs hanging around

[Aggie Hoopsfan]

We better get our shit together on the glass or it's going to be a long night.

[yeahone]

we have nto come out agressive this game we need to grin it out its gonna be a spurs win

[Darkwaters]

man, our defense sucks now

Defense and rebounding both blow now

[ObiwanGinobili]

I hate how bad our rebounding SUX.

wtf? do they not practive this shit?

[baseline bum]

Withstand this first quarter, and for the love of god, run some motherfucking pick and roll please!

[Budkin]

We just have to keep it close and weather the early emotion... then take over.

[Aggie Hoopsfan]

Special shout out to Michael Finley, thanks for helping Pavlovic get on track early. How fucking hard is it to stay in front of the guy when he's not even getting any screens set for him?

[Deb]

More rebounds, more D needed NOW

[dbreiden83080]

Tony looks Timid out there maybe Eva wore him out in BED last night.

[hitmanyr2k]

Spurs just have to weather the surge. You knew Cleveland was going to come out strong. And honestly other than hitting the offensive boards the Cavs haven't looked all that good.

[easjer]

Ugh. Terrible start, just what I feared. It was so much easier this morning to fatalistically say we might lose, and that I figured we'd lose one and this would be it. I hate watching it, you know?

Not that it's out of reach or anything (with 3.5 quarters left to play), but they look like shit. Like they expect to lose.

No real penetration, no rebounding. They are watching them rebound and opening up the D for them.

[Budkin]

Special shout out to Michael Finley, thanks for helping Pavlovic get on track early. How fucking hard is it to stay in front of the guy when he's not even getting any screens set for him?

I think Finley's back must be bothering him... he just looks worthless out there.

[midgetonadonkey]

Come on people. What kind of fans are you? We need more vowels in the players' names when they do anything remotely positive.

[Tek_XX]

Parker doesn't look like he's going to have a good game, hopefully he picks it up.

[Spurs Brazil]

We need to do a better job on the boards

[ObiwanGinobili]

me = already tired of the 50cent vitamin water commercial

[Aggie Hoopsfan]

Withstand this first quarter, and for the love of god, run some motherfucking pick and roll please!

Amen, brother baseline.

[Budkin]

Ugh. Terrible start, just what I feared. It was so much easier this morning to fatalistically say we might lose, and that I figured we'd lose one and this would be it. I hate watching it, you know?

Not that it's out of reach or anything (with 3.5 quarters left to play), but they look like shit. Like they expect to lose.

No real penetration, no rebounding. They are watching them rebound and opening up the D for them.

Relax we're down 2 with 5 min left in the 1st... we'll handle it.

[Deb]

Its a little early to be calling a loss.

[PB&J]

me = already tired of the 50cent vitamin water commercial

how old is that song?

[yeahone]

lebron wont have more nails after tonite

[baseline bum]

Parker doesn't look like he's going to have a good game, hopefully he picks it up.

They're not running any pick and roll for Tony

[Aggie Hoopsfan]

I think Finley's back must be bothering him... he just looks worthless out there.

First, if his back is that bad, then he shouldn't be playing.

Second, that's not the problem. On every play he got burned, he was looking over his shoulder for a pick to come, and Pavlovic just drove the moment he turned his head.

The Spurs communicate very well on the floor, his teammates would call out any picks coming, it was just stupid play on his part.

[ObiwanGinobili]

how old is that song?

5 yrs?

[phxspurfan]

LOL @ cavs winning 17 games in a season

[rascal]

I can't believe you guys are hanging on every play. This series is over. No way Cleveland wins this series.

[hitmanyr2k]

Duncan isn't even looking to pass out of the doubleteam tonight. He's in attack mode.

[Budkin]

Ouch that was painful.

[phxspurfan]

parker lay off the steve kerr sht plz

[703 Spurz]

Come on people. What kind of fans are you? We need more vowels in the players' names when they do anything remotely positive.

This shit happens all the time man. People cry game over after 1 qtr of play. You should expect it by now

[easjer]

Fuck me. This will be a long night.

It's like they are so thrilled they can finally suck LeBron's dick on air. . .\
:lol

[ObiwanGinobili]

I can't believe you guys are hanging on every play. This series is over. No way Cleveland wins this series.


it's about playing the game closer and closer to perfection.
fuck the other team. they don;t even matter.

[MaNuMaNiAc]

Boweeen 3

[Spurs Brazil]

Bruuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuce 333333333333333333333333

[Darkwaters]

Fuckin' A, nice ball movement

[yeahone]

move that ball spurssssssssssssssss

[Budkin]

Bruce keeping us in it.

[midgetonadonkey]

br(multiple u's)ce

[yeahone]

we playing shit and we down 1

[hitmanyr2k]

Dunk that shit Tim!!

[Budkin]

Another pussy finger roll missed by Duncan.

[baseline bum]

I hate this offense they're running tonight. Set a screen for Parker.

... finally, got a great shot out of running the screen for Tony.

[ObiwanGinobili]

WTF?

duncan shrank about 3 inches over night.

[midgetonadonkey]

This shit happens all the time man. People cry game over after 1 qtr of play. You should expect it by now

Wow, I didn't know that being how I'm so new to the forum and have never been in a game blog before.

[phxspurfan]

nash would have slammed into the ground after that horry foul. gooden just shakes it off

[Darkwaters]

Dunk that shit Tim!!

AGREED!

[NASpurs]

we're down by one even after all of that :lol

[Aggie Hoopsfan]

I think the playbook got confiscated at the airport. Have we even run anything other than 4down tonight?

[easjer]

So close. Looking somewhat better now though.

No one thinks we are going to lose this series - just potentially this game if they continue to play like shit.

After seeing what they can do, I'm not happy to watch them struggle.

thumbs up to Bruce hitting some shots tonight though. Hopefully some other folks can get involved.

[dbreiden83080]

Tim shred this frontline they all suck shit just go hard to the rim.

[Cant_Be_Faded]

Wow.....cleveland crashing the glass hardcore.

[phxspurfan]

we playing shit and we down 1


very true. hope we can just keep it close until we blow it open with 4 minutes in the 4th

[DDS4]

Since when did we stop closing out on shooters?

Seems like the Spurs are weathering the storm, and waiting to pounce later on.

[Melmart1]

I can't believe the negativity of the Spurs fans in here. WTF?!?! I expected a Cleveland onslaught, some fucking pride to not lose at home. They are ahead by one point right now, and are playing just as bad as the Spurs.

I am THRILLED that the Spurs are only down by 1 right now, I expected them to be down by quite a bit more right now. The Cavs aren't playing like its the biggest game of their lives right now. Which is exactly what it is.

[Aggie Hoopsfan]

I hate this offense they're running tonight. Set a screen for Parker.

... finally, got a great shot out of running the screen for Tony.

Yep. Now we just need Duncan to finish strong. That's two layups missed by him now.

Throw it down big man! [/Walton]

[Admidave50]

TD gotta scores those easy layups

[Budkin]

Is Parker being timid or are they stopping him?

[Tek_XX]

The Cavs know they are playing better and yet the scoreboard only says 1 point lead. Spurs just need to hang in there

[NASpurs]

I can't believe the negativity of the Spurs fans in here. WTF?!?! I expected a Cleveland onslaught, some fucking pride to not lose at home. They are ahead by one point right now, and are playing just as bad as the Spurs.

I am THRILLED that the Spurs are only down by 1 right now, I expected them to be down by quite a bit more right now. The Cavs aren't playing like its the biggest game of their lives right now. Which is exactly what it is.Yeah that's exactly what I'm thinking. After all of that shit, poor defense, Cleveland playing with a ton of energy, etc etc etc

Spurs are only down one.

[ballhog]

It's gonna be close. Hope TD doesn't get a foul too soon.

I can't believe the negativity of the Spurs fans in here. WTF?!?! I expected a Cleveland onslaught, some fucking pride to not lose at home. They are ahead by one point right now, and are playing just as bad as the Spurs.

I am THRILLED that the Spurs are only down by 1 right now, I expected them to be down by quite a bit more right now. The Cavs aren't playing like its the biggest game of their lives right now. Which is exactly what it is.

I just want to see something other than a Tim Duncan post up. Can we run a play for Manu?

I'd love to see a Manu/Horry pick and roll. We're in full on 2001 Playoffs vs. LA 4down mode right now.

Is Parker being timid or are they stopping him?

Have you missed the other 20 posts so far in response to your question?

We aren't running any plays other than four down (Duncan post up).

He's being patient and not forcing the issue. That's smart. Get adjusted to the way the Cavs are playing him and then kill'em.

Good thing we aren't playing a team even close to as good as the 2001 Lakers.
