Game 3 thread

[comish]

Since I can't go out

Come on boys!

[jfiling]

Nice start so far. If Gooden scores some points, he could go 20-20 tonight.

I'm wondering where Shannon Brown is going to fit in the rotation.

[comish]

Settle down Andy

Nice pass LBJ!

[comish]

A lead after 1 . . . I'll take it

[jfiling]

If both teams go small, and LeBron is playing power forward, he is unstoppable. I doubt Pops will stay with the small lineup very long.

[StewieG]

Much better start tonight. I don't know if it's the home crowd, adjustments, or starting Boobie, but they didn't fall behind early, and now they're working with a lead, albeit a slim one. But a slim lead is much better than down by 10.

Parker, Ginobli, and to a lesser extent Duncan haven't gotten off to a torrid start, and that's really helped.

[jfiling]

I was scared when LeBron sat down with 3 fouls, but now that Duncan has 3 as well, maybe Gooden and Z can start dominating inside. I'm not exactly scared of Oberto.

[StewieG]

Even though LeBron has 3, he can now get a decent rest and we can build this lead with Duncan out. We have a mismatch with Gooden on Horry. He should take it inside.

Like that

[StewieG]

Sooner or later they're going to start clanging those 3's.

[comish]

I hope you are right Stewie!

[FUDU]

So far so good.

Trying my best to do a Billy Joel impersonation and Keep the Faith.

[comish]

Just like that

[FUDU]

Damn we suck at closing out 1/4's and 1/2's.

No reason we shouldn't have went to half time with a two possession lead.

[StewieG]

Disappointing letting them go on an 8-0 run like that. Even before Horry let it go I knew it was good.

Bucket and a turnover, that's what we need.

[Get_Wedge_Out_NOW!]

10-0 run


cavs will is broken

3rd quarter is coming up

im going to bed

3-0 spurs


cya tomorrow

[StewieG]

Wow, what a crappy end to the half. We needed LeBron out there. We would have scored at least 3 buckets, I think.

[FUDU]

Mentally we needed a lead at half.

Spurs having a lead after our start could spell doom.

Disappointing.

[jfiling]

Ya know, there's a certain troll I notice everyone has been good at ignoring, but I still wonder why he only comes in to bitch when one of our teams starts losing. It's hard enough being a Cleveland sports fan without dealing with people who only seem to be happy complaining when things start to go wrong.

[StewieG]

Oh good, they're showing all the misery of the Cavs, Indians, and Browns, all in one neat package

you are going to be the cubs of the NFL

[FUDU]

wedge why do you bother then?

[/end of rhetorical question]

[Get_Wedge_Out_NOW!]

now as for me being a troll.......i dont think so

im just very vocal, when the team is doing good or bad

i dont just sit back and accpet it, i say my opinion either way

so unlessu wanna drag your sorry ass here and talk face to face i suggesut u zip it

thanks

ALSO if you had any clue whatsoever to what you were talking about you would know that im in the tribe section all the time WIN OR LOSE


and i state my opinion on the team there as well...WIN OR LOSE


so learn the fact first please

thanks

[Get_Wedge_Out_NOW!]

and while everyone else bitches about drew i sit here and defned him

i guess thats bitchign about the team always doing bad too huh?


the fact is that you read ONE post where i said we are done and you jump to conclusions.

[FUDU]

Trust me when I say this, you come across as nothing close to a fan.

Even driven by 100% emotion a fan is somewhat reasonable and doesn't teeter on the brink of psychosis depending on every single solitary microscopic transgression of a game, no matter what the sport.

Great you're not a Browns fan, great you're not a Cavaliers fan, when they are losing or playing bad, so again why do you bother?

There are at least 90 other professional team message boards you can voice your thoughts on if you are not a fan of the team's this site/thread are concerned with.

If you want to look smart maybe you should visit those sites.

Gotta have thicker skin, brah. Even after all this failure, when u tell it like it is in reality, most C-town fans get pissed at you as the messenger. Its just how it is.

As always, I'm just sayin'.

They got a prayer at home & are playing much better, Don't h8 on 'em hard just yet. They are playing 100% better.

Roker Milk Dud needs to just let Bron play to 6 no matter what, tho.

[jb]

Go AT the hoop dudes!

Jesus.

[FUDU]

JFC, this is June 12th and we are still working on smart, crisp fundamental passing? Cost us 6 points this game, scratch that that last 10 minutes of play.

That would be like me still needing help with a neck tie at age 35?

Grow the fuck up Cavaliers.

[Get_Wedge_Out_NOW!]

pavlovic is a different man in the finals

in a very bad way

and boobie is cooling off, just great

[jb]

Go AT the hoop dudes!

Jesus.

how hard was that, drew?

yes u are the super fan


you can be quiet now

[comish]

SHOOOOOOOOOOOOOT!

[Get_Wedge_Out_NOW!]

good bron went to the hole


keep doin that plz

[Get_Wedge_Out_NOW!]

how the hell was that in the act of shooting?

[jb]

This just in: no answer for Parker.

[Get_Wedge_Out_NOW!]

god pavs is so horrible in the finals

[consigliere]

Cavs have a chance tonight. Let's go get this game.

[comish]

Has it been mentioned that we need a guy that can hit a WIDE OPEN jump shot? Sasha is killing me one miss at a time

[jfiling]

I take back what I said earlier about Gooden, and apply it to Z, because Ilgauskas is a few putbacks away from being on pace for 20-20. Both are doing pretty good work on the boards (ok, Z is awesome tonight).

Z gettin it done.

Drew much better than G's 1 &2.

Bron needs to hit for us to do this.

[jfiling]

Wow, how long did Gooden last at center, all of 10 seconds?

Love LeBron back playing the 4, though.

[consigliere]

Wow. Outside of Cleveland and SA, is anyone watching this series? THis is ugly basketball.

First one to 70 wins.

[FUDU]

Has there seriously been a worse open shot shooting team in our history, hell in recent NBA history?

[jfiling]

Brown is so close to having the perfect lineup for this situation right now: Shooters around LeBron, and LeBron working from the low post. The only thing missing is Donyell at the 5 to have all the guys around LeBron's post presence be shooters.

[jb]

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

[FUDU]

In hindsight I agree with your lineup comment, although I wouldn't have believed it in a million years prior to this here today.

Imagine what a perimeter of Price & Ehlo or even Mills and Ferry would do with that many open looks. Yeah I said Mills and Ferry.

Nother botched called by the officials.

[jfiling]

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.

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

[comish]

We have NO OTHER option

[Guest]

I just noticed Larry Hughes isn't the problem on offense.
Painful.

[StewieG]

Wow, Boobie should have been shooting 3 FT's.

And Bron should get the ball EVERY POSSESSION in the post. They have no answer for him down there. He'll either score, find an open guy, or get fouled.

And we could easily be up 15 if the 3 point story would be a little different. They're hitting everything, we're hitting nothing.
