Finals Game 2: Spurs vs Cavs Official Game Blog Thread

[gaKNOW!blee]

oh, i guess it couldnt of been leaving duncan open twice down low, or letting manu get a 4 pt play or anything.

[Marcus Bryant]

2-0. Bring it for the other 6 quarters and we'll talk, ok?

[conversekid]

Refs missed the call. They also blew a call when they said bowen stepped out of bounds... it happens.

[ChumpDumper]

You guys were down by 27. You shifted all over yourselves.

[T Park]

Yeah thank god for Parker there and on the jump shot after Marshall closed in on Duncan.

I about Puked before Parker made that shot.

[FlatMan]

So...if Tony Parker had been called for traveling.....the Spurs would have had absolutely, positively no chance to win at all?

Did I say that? No. I said it shifted the momentum.

The 4pt play came a few minutes AFTER this happened.

He also should've staggered the subs utions.Take one starter out, then another, then another.

I can't believe he let the lead go from 29 to 12 before he realized his mistake. AAAAAAAGHHHHH

Exactly! Then what also made it bad was even when Manu was in with the 2nd team he wasn't even involved in a couple of plays. The starters were summoned in waaay to late and were cold, We are REALLY fortunate that this was Cleveland and not Phx. I think Pop thought that Cle had all but mailed it in too!

they gave you guys that one back though.... on the other end pavlovic didn't step out either

You are talking as if this is what decided the game.

[ManuTim_best of Fwiendz]

Duncan was in the game while they were continuing to cut the lead.

The Four Down thing didn't work to stop the bleeding.

[TampaDude]

If the Cavs sweep at home then the Spurs would have to win in 7. Don't contradict yourself.

Damn 2-3-2 ed me up...can't think straight right now I'm so pissed off!!!

Cavs sweep at home...Spurs in 7 in triple OT.

It sure did. By the way, Varejao is a disgrace. His flopping is terrible... he even infected Jaque Vaughn and Francisco Elson.

[FlatMan]

They made up for it by calling Sasha Pavlovic for the same exact thing the next possession. Besdies, Bowen stepping out of bounds when you're up 20+ is nothing compared to Parker getting away with a blatant travel during a huge comeback.

The Cavs lost because they played like crap for 36 minutes.

This play merely shifted the momentum back to the Spurs. Get it?

[florige]

A guy with LeBron on his team complaining about too many steps.

Lets not talk about calls cle fans, How about the shot to the face by Lebron to Manu during the run. Please!!!!! Come with something more than that.

[jbspurs]

From the Cavs to the Spurs in the fourth quarter...

Hands down, goes to Tony Parker practicing his wedding dance down the middle of the lane and the officials looking for some wedding cake. Cavs had a chance to cut the lead to six, but instead three steps later and a wedding song Tony Parker was credited with a circus shot.

I knew it! Somebody is going to use that as an excuse..You should blame your #1 player, He passed the ball to Ginobli!!!

[Marcus Bryant]

Just a guess, but Jacque Vaughn doesn't break 5 minutes of PT in Game 3. Barry doesn't break a sweat either.

I didn't see the replay, so I can't comment on that.

Part of that comeback was a phantom foul on Duncan against LeBron.

I get what you are saying...I just disagree.

I think the Spurs being an NBA Champion caliber team and the Cavs being an 16th seed NCAA team is what shifted the momentum back to the Spurs. Get it?

Cavs sweep at home...Spurs in 7 in triple OT.

I can't see them winning three at home. Our meltdown in the 4th was due to coaching problems. If it were all against our starters I would maybe be thinking..... I am still freakin pissed. I still wanted us to win by at least 15-18 points. Not 9, what the 11.... I don't even know!!

[florige]

Vaughn played ok until the meltdown started. I think the momentum started to shift when Barry managed to miss 3 WIDE OPEN damn shots!!!

[TampaDude]

Spurs are the "cardiac kids" of the NBA, aren't they??? I think I aged 10 years in the 4th quarter...

[jbspurs]

I hate the 2-3-2 format!!!


Now, It'll be hard to giveup 2 of the next 3 games in order to win the championship at home!

[peskypesky]

i have a terrible headache now, thanks to Pop.

[BlackFlagg]

CAVS WILL WIN THE NEXT 3 GAMES!

That won't happen and you know it. It is IMPOSSIBLE -- completely, utterly beyond the realm of possibility. Get USED to it!
