Cavs in Game 4?

[raspsa]

The Game 3 loss really hurt and I wonder how much it took out of the Cavs. Its a lot different being 0-3 down when it could so easily have been just 1-2 behind. Its a binary situation facing the Cavs and they know it. Right now they're just playing to salvage what pride they have left and I hope they make a game of it. Winning even a single game would be a great achievement for them.

I hope they are terrible and we beat them by 30.

A young team like that will realize that they have no hope and will collapse mentally.

I'll be very surprised if the Spurs win game 4.

[Mr.Bottomtooth]

They'll be too depressed and worrisome about being down 0-3 to be worried about the game and will lose focus. Spurs by 16.

The Cavs know historiically, statistically that the series is over.
They have nothing to play for, not even pride.

The Spurs will really want to get finish it and get home.

I'd be very surprised if the Spurs don't win.

The Cavs will easily win the next four...

I'm kidding of course. I'm just hoping they can win game four and possibly game five. That probably won't happen either.

They can't shoot very well at all. They were able to overcome that against the Wizards and Nets (who obviously are not very good) by outrebounding and getting second chance points. Sure, they got a lot of second chance attempts in game three, but it didn't translate into points.

Also, I got to give credit to the Spurs. The big three get shut down... so Bowen, Barry, and Horry just make like... EVERYTHING from beyond the arc.

Spurs by 10+. Cavs give up 4 min into the 4th qtr.

I don't know what to think.
The Spurs know how to close out, they don't want to give this team any hope.
The Cavs have nothing to lose, they will play with intense energy to try and stay alive.
I want the Spurs to end it but I'm just not sure it will be game 4.
If not, it will be game 5.

All throuout this year's playoffs, the Spurs took it to the other team when they had a chance to close it out. Tommorow will be no different.

[td4mvp3]

just think bron wins one for cleveland, scores 30-plus, manu'ss funk continues and the spurs, thinking they'll coast, relax a bit too much. they can always hold on to the mantra "remember the red sox!"

[Darkwaters]

I expect the Cavs to come out with a ton of energy and blitz the Spurs from the beginning. Then the Spurs will climb back into the game and create a sizeable lead. The Cavs will collapse mentally in the 4th when they're down by 8 or 9 and not gaining ground. The lead will balloon and then Elson, Barry, Bonner and Beno will ensure that the score gets more reasonable as they close the game out.

I think Finley realizes just how close he is and comes to life. Finley should have a very nice game tomorrow. If hes not scoring, he'll be doing something to fill up the stat sheet.

[hater]

they already defeated.

they have the same look D'antoni had right after buzzer game 1.

[Guajalote]

Based on what I've been hearing in the post-game interviews with questions from the Cleveland media, it seems that the Cavs have been having troubles throughout the playoffs in their 3rd quarters.

I think that the Cavs are excited about playing the 1st quarter, lots of hype from their fans. However, they may be worried about how they'll do in the 3rd, which happens to be when the Spurs tend to do their best work.

The 3rd quarter will decide.

[johngateswhiteley]

Spurs roll in this game, any other prediction is crazy.

[Horry For 3!]

All the Spurs have to do is get on them early and it is over.

[Corn on the Colb]

For whoever made this thread,

Yes, the Cavs are on schedule to be at Game 4.

[ATXSPUR]

I think they will be ready to just get it over with and go home...they know they lost alrleady. I also find it hard to believe Tim and Manu have two piss poor games in a row. Clevelands last chance to beat us was game 3 in my opinion.

Spurs roll by 17 2007 NBA CHAMPS!!!!!!!!!
