Game 3 thread

[FUDU]

At least we can say the Cavs are now part of an NBA Finals record (fewest combined points in a quarter)!

Biggest mismatch was the record I had in mind.

In a few weeks though, no matter win or lose, I will be happy we got here.

My Butch Davis Gut says Bron takes this bitch over and goes off in quarter 4 & we do this tonite.

I think he has to. I also think he knows he has to.

Bingo.

Rise up NOW or fuck it.

[StewieG]

Now playing the role of Larry Hughes: Manu Ginobli.

Memo to Mike Brown: POST UP LEBRON

Got my answer.

They deserve to lose . . . simply painful. Can we forfeit game 4 and save further humiliation?

[consigliere]

THis is Bucks title game redux. 1-13 shooting 3's. Guys, if they ain't falling, stop shooting them! Go to the hole! Attack!

[jfiling]

Three things the Cavs should know right now:

1) They are shooting 1-13 from downtown and are only down 8
2) They are shooting 1-13 from downtown and are only down 8
3) They are shooting 1-13 from downtown and are only down 8

Anyone else see the picture?

QUIT TAKING SHOTS FROM DOWNTOWN!

[FUDU]

No attack mentality on the break..our role players spot ups are rushing their shots.

Doesn't help that all of them cept for Sasha have one foot in the coffin.

If we just shot a few % points better from 3 it would be tied or a lead for us.

Why?

DU will savor it. He's happy.

I had to make such a long post and get beat by seconds.

[FUDU]

QUIT TAKING SHOTS FROM DOWNTOWN!

But the game is being played downtown.

Thank you, thank you, I'll be here all night.

[consigliere]

1-14 now.

[FUDU]

OK time for an old fashioned two point bucket.

73-63 might be the final score.

[jfiling]

Two wasted possessions in a row off of 3 point shots.

1-15. Can't Mike Brown tell them it ain't falling tonight?

[consigliere]

And, as noted by the commentators, NO FREE THROW ATTEMPTS IN THE SECOND HALF TONIGHT.

(well, before that foul)

[comish]

Weren't we supposed to shoot with more confidence at home?

[jb]

THis is Bucks title game redux.

Thx for bringin' that up again, T.

Now both my nuts feel like they've been kicked tonite.

MAKE A RUN!!!!!!!!!!!!

[StewieG]

THERE YOU GO.

Take it inside.

Every time.

No more 3's, even if you are WIDE OPEN. You pound the ball inside every time. Make cuts. Post up Bron. Do that.

No more 3's unless it's desperation time.

[jfiling]

I had to check to see who the Cav was that made the only 3-pointer.

Congratulations Damon Jones, for going 1-2 so far from downtown.

[FUDU]

No more 3's unless it's desperation time

Um we're down 0-2 with less then 8 minutes left in the 4th of game 3.

Just sayin.

[StewieG]

Just sayin.

I mean like down 10 with under a minute left in the game, where we have no chance unless we take and make 3's. Right now we can get in it without shooting from outside.

[StewieG]

Jesus Christ, can we get a foul call?

[FUDU]

Parker just runnin and dribblin around like a lil dog that was tied up inside all day.

Sick.

IMO that 3 did it.

These guys are about to give up.

[jb]

BS non call there, but give that team credit.

SA is effin' good.

[hermanfontenot]

lol Spurs fans thought LBJ would get D-Wade calls in this series.

Silly minor-league town fans.

[StewieG]

Needed that 3. Now give it inside to Bron, you idiots.

[jfiling]

SA is effin' good.

I'm hoping we all remembered that before this series started. Cleveland played way over their talent level in the Detroit series, but SA is at a whole different level than the Pistons. I think the Pistons might have given the Spurs a better series than we've seen so far, but they couldn't overcome LBJ and Boobie when it counted.

No matter what happens, I'm proud of the Cavs for making it to the NBA Finals and putting Cleveland back on the sports map for the first time in 10 years.

Nahhh. There's fight. Just can't get over & make their own break.

Strugglin strugglers.

I want one win. One stinking win.

I'm with yah. Best is yet to come.

WE'll get 'em next year.

But we may yet do this tonite.

[consigliere]

Down 4 with he ball....let's go baybee!

[jb]

SHOOT

BRON!

[FUDU]

Why would a 6'9" PF bring the ball to his knees?

Then make a stupid drunken board crashing foul on a rebound attempt.

Unreal how bad our guys hands are near the basket.

[consigliere]

Wow. Two awful possessions. First Gooden getting tied up, then Andy losing th ball. Time for Bron to step up.

[FUDU]

Just don't look like it is going to happen guys.

[consigliere]

JESUS H IS THIS GAME SOOOOOOOO WINNABLE!

[jb]

Look after look after look after lookafter look after look after look afgter look after wasted fucking look!

Reafs h8 Bron.

Jobu is in the house sitting on Eva's lap laughing at us

[StewieG]

Somebody get the fucking lid off of our end of the court.

[FUDU]

OMFG!!!!!

He just HAS to make that.

[consigliere]

Man, give Bron props for going to the hoop. Shots are just not falling. This game is maddeningbecause it is so winnable for the Cavs. Gotta win this game, as it is a huge fucking opp to get back in this series.

[StewieG]

My God, if anything goes for us tonight...and I mean anything, we're up 20.

We've had so many easy looks, open jumpers, and missed layups.

And they have hit everything from 3.

If we lose this one, it's over. We may get game 4, but this is our chance. This game is winnable. This game is within our grasp. Gotta take it.

[FUDU]

There are countless things about this game that we might/will look back on and say IF?

[jfiling]

JESUS H IS THIS GAME SOOOOOOOO WINNABLE!

Couldn't say it better myself. Four point game, it's completely anyone's game.

Who wants it more, the Spurs or LeBron? Not fair to the kid, but that's what it comes down to.

AND NO MORE FUCKING THREE-POINT SHOTS UNLESS IT TIES THE GAME WITH TIME EXPIRING!!!!!

[FUDU]

Where the hell did they find that highlight of a Cavalier making an open point blank shot?

[jb]

Oh, was that a foul finally?

NAAAAAHHHHH!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!

[consigliere]

Down 2.....lets' do this!

[FUDU]

Good play by Drew, played em tough straight up, then when beat put him on the line and force him to do something he is not good at.

[consigliere]

Brick 'em Duncan!

[FUDU]

Those were HUGE.
