I'm pulling for the Cavs but the Spurs will win in 5

6/3/2007 3:18:24 PM

Why does everybody hate the Spurs so much?

6/6/2007 10:31:16 AM

I dont hate them. they are one of the best nba teams to watch.

6/6/2007 10:39:06 AM

lets see,

-the spurs play dirty basketball
-none of the spurs players are likeable
-the spurs are not entertaining at all to watch
-the average age for the Spurs is 30.37 years old, the highest in the league


GO CAVS

6/6/2007 10:54:22 AM

A+!

6/6/2007 10:58:34 AM

fixed that for you

The Spurs are the Patriots of the NBA

-Asshole coach with bad skin

-3 Championships in recent years

-Franchise player who is much more successful but far less marketable than his rival (Brady and Manning, Duncan and KG)

-Elite defensive prick who gets suspended at least once a year (Bowen, Harrison)

-Diehard devotion by home fans but general sense of dislike from the rest of the league

6/6/2007 11:47:22 AM

very very well said

6/6/2007 12:15:21 PM

I just remembered its 2-3-2 for the Finals

I'm changing my pick to Spurs in 6 games now

I think Cleveland can win 2 of 3 at the Q

6/6/2007 8:01:01 PM

go spurs. fuck ginobli

basic logic

6/6/2007 8:20:17 PM

Cavs in 6

6/7/2007 11:07:13 AM

Here we go, 9 PM

I will hopefully be watching it on my new LCD Tv

6/7/2007 11:38:45 AM

LCD ees ah nice

6/7/2007 11:39:35 AM

yeah theyve got the 32" Phillips LCD at Sams Club for $739

thats the 3200:1 contrast, 8ms response, new model

i was all like , so im going to call best buy about a price match today

6/7/2007 11:42:16 AM

That is a great TV...I have a 42" Philips and it is fantastic, but here is a quick fix for all of you that love watching the sports in HD

You can request an amplifier to boost the signal from the cable box in your neighborhood to your house. Time warner should be able to bring it to you and install it. I can tell a difference between HD and a amplified HD signal to my box. GO CAVS

6/7/2007 1:12:20 PM

^interesting...cause my whole interenet (and digital cable) signal is weak

6/7/2007 1:13:00 PM

well im in Kenly, and we have Charter cable which sucks DONG

im just going to enjoy movies and my 360 on it and the cable will be better than normal anyway

6/7/2007 1:51:11 PM

AND THE WINNER FOR TEAM WITH THE SHITTIEST PRE-GAME INTRODUCTIONS GOES TO THE SAN ANTONIO SPURS

what a terrible voice for a public address announcer

and then they broke out "are ya'll ready for this?" which I think the Bulls used to use back when they won their titles in the 90s

6/7/2007 8:59:33 PM

gahh, couldnt we have gotten a crew better than this to announce the games?

6/7/2007 9:02:16 PM

yeah, but that ABC/ESPN NBA Finals intro was hot.

6/7/2007 9:03:49 PM

Quote :

""are ya'll ready for this?""

yea i was baffled as well that another team used that ultra unique slogan...you don't hear that too much

6/7/2007 9:14:52 PM

I have a bad feeling that this series is going to make me hate Tim Duncan even more than I do already.

But anyway go CAVS

6/7/2007 9:18:21 PM

yes, ginobli DID just dribble through gibson's legs

awesome

6/7/2007 9:28:26 PM

go spurs.

[Edited on June 7, 2007 at 9:31 PM. Reason : .]

6/7/2007 9:29:58 PM

i think that is the first time a call has gone against lebron all year

no wonder he looks so flabbergasted

6/7/2007 9:34:05 PM

Ginobili is one hell of a flopper, I will tell you that much

his feet werent set and he jumped with lebron

I really cant stand the Spurs

[Edited on June 7, 2007 at 9:37 PM. Reason : asdf]

6/7/2007 9:37:29 PM

He didn't jump. LeBron might want to change his name to Le "I'll mow you ass down"...probably out of frusteration at not making a field goal all 1st quarter.

He got called on a foul because he lowered his shoulder.

[Edited on June 7, 2007 at 9:45 PM. Reason : .....]

6/7/2007 9:43:58 PM

it only looked lowered because ginobili didnt have his feet set

6/7/2007 9:47:20 PM

I guess Ginobili really is amazing...not only does he own at basketball but he can levitate too!



Kinda hard to have your feet set when you're getting rammed by a moving 240 lb. man.

6/7/2007 9:53:43 PM

San Antonio's crowd is weaksauce

6/7/2007 10:30:30 PM

mike brown why wont you sit down larry hughes for the remainder of playoffs.

6/7/2007 10:49:01 PM

cuz Mike Brown is a bitch who only has a job b/c of Lebron.

absolutely terrible in-game coach.

He's the black Herb.

6/7/2007 10:50:45 PM

49 points at the end of the third for the Cavs.

friggin unreal.

game ovaries.

thanks for the mammaries.

6/7/2007 11:00:57 PM

ginobli deserves an oscar for that flagrant on gooden

6/7/2007 11:07:14 PM

so...gibson faired relatively well against Parker tonight, and had 3 steals.

If Mike Brown starts Hughes in game 2, the city of Cleveland should riot.

6/7/2007 11:35:26 PM

So did both teams run the Herb Sendek offense tonight?

6/7/2007 11:45:12 PM

^nope, they ran the 1944 pre-shot clock offense tonight. fucking horrible to watch.

6/7/2007 11:48:24 PM

It sucks that the Cavs are having some success under Mike Brown. He is clearly not a very good coach.

6/8/2007 12:04:34 AM

^the only "success" Mike Brown has is when LeBron has a great game. Hopefully Danny Ferry will see the light after this year.

No game plan whatsoever.

6/8/2007 7:32:47 AM

I think this game was about as bad as the cavs couldve possibly played. They looked like they had a weak gameplan, Lebron couldnt make a shot, the entire team's shot selection was terrible, Gibson didnt get enough playing time.

I know some of that can be chalked up to the Spurs defense, but the Cavs missed way too many open looks

On the other hand, the Spurs were shooting lights out. I still some hope for the Cavs in this series if they can play their game

6/8/2007 8:46:46 AM

I always thought Cleveland didn't give Paul Silas enough chance....

Silas is a good coach and is underrated I think.

He is easily the best coach we have ever had for the Hornets/Bobcats

6/8/2007 10:06:07 AM

spurs crowd is definitely weak as shit

2nd weakest to my very own detroit... its like these people EXPECT to win, and it drives me crazy... GET IN THE GAME

6/8/2007 1:48:29 PM

^^ ugh, Silas is just such an awful coach though i got really nervous when it was speculated the bobcats might be interested in him...

The thing about "players coaches" like Silas. His teams will fare pretty well durign the regular season because guys respect him and they will give consistent effort night in and night out...

but when it comes to the playoffs and they actually have to face good strategic coaches like phil jackson, greg poppovich, etc they are SO overmatched that their teams usually get shredded as they fail to make the proper adjustments.

Its obvious even to casual fans that Mike Brown sucks as an offensive coach but that franchise's every move is with the idea of retaining the services of Lebron James. If LBJ likes Mike Brown then they'd be absolutely nuts to fire him.

At the same time I will defend Mike Brown to the point that he is coaching a poorly constructed team. They don't have a legitimate point guard, athletic post players (sans Varejao), or good jump shooters. It's not Ferry's fault that guys like Donyell and Damon Jones forgot how to shoot the minute they signed with Cleveland, but it is his fault they signed guys like Larry Hughes who don't fit their needs....

Again in Ferry's defense he was making desperation signings because they were scared Lebron would flee Cleveland if they didnt become instantly competitive.
