No way in he could pull of a performance like that against us... yeah he'll probably score a good amount but give me a break...
He'll need 4 performances like that, maybe better than that.
The Cavs are in the Finals? That's news to me.
They won those game playing the "Pre-All Star Break" Spurs.
There's simply no conclusions to be drawn from those games. Period.
wgaf about this year's playoffs...it won't be interesting unless the cavs get to the finals...then i'd be happy for just another lebron over duncan dunk...just like duncan, spurs don't have an answer for lebron, they just have to hope the rest of the team stands around or that some fool like damon jones starts jacking up 3s...i'd like to see daniel gibson do well...other than that, get this boring playoffs over with so we can get on to the draft and next season, the ratings must be loooooooooooow
Ratings might be low in the states but the rest of the world is watching. The NBA doesn't care if anybody in Dallas is watching. As long as advertisers are pimpin Gatorade, Vitamin water and Nike gear to France, Netherlands, Argentina, and China the ratings in the states will not affect their advertising revenue.
Comparing the Spurs/Cavs to Mavs/Warriors is like apples and oranges. The reason you can discount the regular season games is that the Spurs are hardly the same team after the all star break. Not so for the Mavs. What you see is what you get with them.
i can tell you thought this out...
The appropriate fear factor is what the spurs need to beat either team. It's not going to be easy but doable. C’mon Timvp isn't time to believe.
LMFAO!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!
Thanks man! That's the funniest thing i've heard all day!
They also went 0-2 against Dallas and Phoenix.
And those two games were played in November and January, Spurs have had plenty of time to come together as a team. Spurs are playing at a much higher level than they were at that time. Oh and they have no bench.
Its going to be hard for Lebron to get so many dunks and and easy layups against 2 7 footers against the Spurs. On the flip side, Duncan could easily be in foul trouble for many of these games.
However, Spurs advantage is in the backcourt. They have no answer for Parker...especially considering that they have no shot blockers in the lane. They also have no answer for Ginobili...Pavolic is defending Rip Hamilton very, very well which is a key why the Cavs are up 1. However, Ginobili is a completely different type of player than Rip as hes more easily able to get in the lane, has a perimeter game, and is left handed. Pavolic can easily get in foul trouble against him. Granted, Hughes being injured also helps.
Lebron is bound to get his. and in a close game it'll be tough to stop him. But key is to stop everyone else. They don't have an answer for Parker, Ginobili, and Duncan.
Who is Duncan going to guard? Gooden? Žydrūnas Ilgauskas? A better question who will guard Timmy? Lebron will get his but I think Bowen will make him work for everything.
They have no second scorer now that Hughes is gone. The Spurs are way too deep for the Cavs.
Sure Mike Brown knows our system, but you need to have the tools to play with, I just don't think he has enough pieces to win.
A sweep would not surprise me....but I expect a 5 game series.....Cavs win one at home. It'll be kinda like the Jazz series.
Eric Snow.
Also, Daniel Gibson has played very good D against Chauncey Billups.
He is also a in ROBOT. Seriously, he is a talented player but has no relatability! He is boring! Simply boring. I don't think anyone, who likes basketball, would say otherwise.
Can either of us not be accused of making a homer pick?
They will be after tomorrow night.
If you like and understand basketball....I think Timmy has more than enough relatability......It is those who just watch ESPN for those 5 sec highlights who think he is boring.
I would rather be bored winning than excited losing.
Is that supposed to be logic, math, magic, or just BS?
Uh . . . Bill Russell likes basketball and believes that Tim is fantastic and that opinions like yours are superficial.
People who like basketball love Tim. It is dip casual fans like you who dont like him. You just want to be entertained. Those who like basketball and know basketball appreciate and love Timmy.
what's more, it speaks more to how media is capable of honing the public's opinion. how relatable is any multti-millionaire athlete who has little in common with most of us at this point? and exactly does any of that mean on the court? we aren't watching them in a chitchat contest, we're watching basketball.
You just contradicted yourself right there.
Congrats. You just demoted yourself to a casual NBA fan.
If you know basketball, you would appreciate his greatness.
Do you remember Manu putting up 24 in under five minutes?
Do you really think if Pop was coaching instead of Saunders, Bron would have put up those numbers?
And someone who said the Pistons are a s of their old team is right.
They aren't playing like the Pistons of '05.
And get beat by 2 with Bron putting up 48?
I hope to see a resurgance of the Pistons tonight. I want this series to go 7.
I love basketball, organized, executing offenses, like Utah and San An. I have never liked Duncan even when he played for WF. He shows no emotion, yeah he is good but its not entertaining to me. Bill Russell has an opinion but that doesn't mean I have to share it. Manu is exciting to watch because he drives constantly and can move like nothing I've ever seen. Tim is predictable and boring, don't think I am in the minority for saying so. To do that is just moronic.
Your coach, also the most boring person I have ever heard speak. Duncan is just like him. Emotion is part of the game and I have never seen Duncan show any. Other than mope, or like a child when he doesn't get a call or when someone makes a good defensive stand against him.
