Game Thread: Cavs at Spurs. 9:30 EST (8:30 CST. 3:30 Riga Time)

[DarrinS]

I thought this was a good game, regardless of the choke... we shown some good at ude, and I think playing like this we're in the right track...

Props to TP and Kawhi, who carried us... would've been nice to have Gino all game too, tbh...

Same here. Don't know what everyone is crying about.

[Capt Bringdown]

LOL, "meh, we just missed some FTs, no biggie"
As if missed FTS didn't cost us a championship.

[Johnny RIngo]

first time a player has scored 50+ against us since 1984

[noles1983]

max money guys need to hit ft's

[$pursDynasty]

dang it Kiwi, I hope this loss stings badly and he comes out and destroys teams the rest of this season

[Silver&Black]

Cavs will make FTs, unlike choking ass Spurs.

My team: San Antonio Spurs

[PingPong]

JR Smith.....

[TampaDude]

. Shades of Game 6.

Except it's not. It's just a regular season loss against a point guard having a godlike game. Spurs would've won this one by 5-6 points at least had they hit some more ing free throws.

[SpurPadre]

Now they make their ing free throws.

[pgardn]

do you give a about anything besides Tony's ing irrelevant records?

Do you give a about anything besides people who give a about Tony?

[daslicer]

One thing that I have said before is Bowen's nastiness separates him from Green and Kawhi. No way in would Kyrie not gotten a hard foul,elbow, cheap shot thrown at him had Bowen played in this game. Bowen would have gotten into his head.

[Raven]

Pop has NEVER used that strategy.

probably would be time to reconsider since we get burned the same way every in time

[Silver&Black]

Why no foul there?

[timtonymanu]

Kyrie and LeBron. the Spurs more though.

So what? We also won 5, with missing freebies and all... no team shoots 100%, and Kawhi is generally a good freethrow shooter.

[SASdynasty!]

Why don't you foul there?

[Darius Bieber]

Kyrie and LeBron. the Spurs more though.

[024]

Game 6 flashbacks. Can't hit free throws and lucky 3's.

[davemaniscool]

Hope Spurs get Cavs in Finals and bust them

[TampaDude]

Spurs lose another game because Pop refused to foul while up 3
We lost both triple OT games this way
But foul Deandre Jordan for an entire quarter?

^ this

Why won't Pop ever foul in that situation? The Cavs were out of timeouts.

[BillMc]

Man, these OT game losses suck. And its 7 AM here.

My first Gamethread loss. I should hand the baton to another for a while.

[noles1983]

if there was ever a time for a team to admit they got lucky and won, it would be tonight

[Darius Bieber]

Spurs are done. Team chokes under any pressure. Spurs only won the 2014 because they were up big every game they won + air conditioning loss. Had games been close, Spurs would lose the 2014 Championship too.

Game 6 flashbacks. Can't hit free throws and lucky 3's.

Yep. Just not nearly as important.
