I hate that the refs don't call fouls that would decide the game. That was clearly a foul and LeBron could have had three shots.

I'm just wondering if anyone here is entertained by Mark Jackson and Jeff Van Gundy. At times they can be quite annoying but so can most broadcasters. (The "you sound like a coach" thing is getting repetetive") I personally enjoy their broadcasting and think that JVG brings some interesting ideas to the table.

Tough loss. Bron did, for the most part, what he was supposed to down the stretch, but Varajao lost the game with that horrible mistake of taking it at Duncan instead of giving it back to Bron, which is what led to the 3pt lead for the Spurs, and the loss. I felt that the foul on Bron wasn't in the motion, so I think he is lucky they let him play through that and let the player decide the game.

LeBron hasn't done well against the Spurs defense the whole series, and I don't see him all of the sudden rising up in Game 4 and doing great. Gibson, the only consistent player the Cavs have had in the playoffs had a bad game, and being a rookie, I think it will stick with him for Game 4. Even though Parker and Duncan had off-games, they still won. To me, everything points to the Cavs being swept.

He hit those two three point plays but other than that he didn't perform well down the stretch.
If it were a week ago this would hurt me just as much as it would hurt any Cavs fan. Good thing as a Cardinal fan it just don't hurt anymore. That's one good thing about them. Quick recovery time.

LeBron did miss quite a few shots down the stretch...weather he was fouled on the last play or not. Actually, the Cavs as a team missed quite a few shots. They can't really point the finger at the refs when they pretty much shot themselves in the foot with all their missed threes. They were only able to stay in the game because of their defense.
God, last year the big deal in the Finals when Wade went to the line in the clutch was, "It's the Finals, the refs need to make the players win the game." This year, they let a small foul go and everybody's screaming, "He got fouled, it doesn't matter what time of the game it is they need to call the foul."

He did miss a few easy shots, but he also had a nice 4th quarter overall. On top of the scoring he also set up his teammates for open shots, and they were actually going down.

Lebron was 110% fouled. I went through the replay a couple of times and Bowen the dirty ass *ucker had his hands all over Lebron and Lebron was jumping up for the shot while this happened. It was definitely a clear foul and Lebron should have taken 3 free throws.
The cavs were playing some very good defense tho and they dominated the boards.|Ilgauskus had 18 rebs 10 Off rebs and 12 points.| After the 1st quarter the cavs had 18 rebs to spurs 9.| They could have one easily won if they stayed strong consistently on the offensive boards.| They were consistent of course, but if they kept that ratio of 18:9 rebs each quarter wow!|Spurs win of course thanks to an assist by Lebron.| :dribble: Those people who said they wouldn't watch this series.... I know they are watching it.|
It was a foul but I mean the refs pretty much let them play all so, a lot of LBJ's drives weren't called fouls when they should have been...so its just unfortunate...The Cavs should have won the game but they missed way too many WIDE OPEN threes and LAYUPS...when you can't finish around the rim, it hurts team morale and takes all hope away from the team...As much as I hate to say it, the Spurs win in 4...SWEEP...
Ugh, thought I'd sleep all day and comeback and think this was a dream. :no1: If we could've hit one of the 3's we were shooting all day, man, oh man. We went like 2-16 from downtown. And after re-watching the last play, James was fouled right when he got the ball then went up in the air. And AFTER he missed, Z got the rebound and I believe he got the shot off in time and well, Duncan gave him a little push and it should've been a and one. But I don't even think they counted Z's basket, so it doesn't matter. All well, just don't wanna get swept. Nonetheless, we are a very young team and to make it to the NBA Finals, this early, it's just great. Can't wait till next season...Oh yeah, take note that our 2nd best player can't even f*cking walk.
