Cavs are showing why they are a second-rate team that doesn't deserve to be in the Finals. Spurs are gonna sweep in 4. This is embarrassing.
 
Cav's are in the Finals. No matter how you slice it.

AND WHAT THE ****ING HECK?! James was fouled in the act of shooting! God**** these officials.
 
Oh well, Cavs atleast made it to the finals. :thumbsup:

Lebron's got a long way to go with his jumpshot, but will take it to another level when he gets it down, and may just win one of these finals things then.

The unfortunate part of the Cavs making the finals is that it gives a false impression that Jim Paxson is doing a good job. His @ss was saved when he lucked out getting James in the draft, but the team he's assembled around him isn't half of what a very good general manager could make it imo.

Ummm... you do realize that Danny Ferry has been the GM of the Cavaliers for the past year, right?

My bad, forgot all about Ferry (even when he's been talked about numerous times lately.😱) It'll be interesting to see where he goes from here. They held the spurs to 75 points but only scored 72 tonight. Hopefully he'll be able to get Lebron some bench scoring in the offseason. I take back my gm complaints, Ferry will do good things imo.
 
Lebron is no Kobe and certainly no Jordan right now. Needs to work on that jumpshot and raising his basketball IQ in pressure situations. He will get better in time, he definitely has a leg up on both those guys in terms of athleticism though.
 
spurs are one boring team to watch, effective but boring, if only the suns-spurs series was officiated fairly this final would have been so much more fun to watch

I guess you can't satisfy everybody. spurs are damned if they blow out the cavs and damned if they keep the game close. BTW, last month called they want their complaint back.

given how low the ratings for the finals are , seems like the only ones they are satisfying are the spurs fans

Well, this month called and wants last months complaint to become a reality. The fans have shown it, the games have shown it, and everyone has seen it. These are by far one of the most pathetic/lackluster finals series ever.

The eastern conference is so crippled its unbelievable. Last year with Miami was a fluke and everyone knows it. The only team in the east that could hang with the west is Detroit. Thats it. No ifs, ands or buts about it.

The suns KILLED the Cavs during the regular season. I know because I was at the game where it really did look like an AND 1 mix tape. Just like Jeff Van Gundy said, at least 4 teams in the western conference could of beaten this Cavaliers team in the finals.

And all the other teams could do it with better style than the spurs.
 
I don't get why people say the Spurs are a boring team. I'm sure you didn't miss the pass from Parker to Elson? The pass to Duncan between Hughes legs? Barry's ditch to Elson? etc. They are a great passing team and that's not boring.
 
The Spurs are a very boring team, if you're rooting for the opponent that is. 😱

They play team basketball, but can also dominate individual matchups as well. That's a deadly combination, to have that much talent, while exercising individual and team discipline. I don't find that boring, and that's why their organization is the envy of the league (even if it doesn't fly with ABC's television ratings, which would prefer high flyers that can put up 50 on a given night.)

FALSE. Lebron is very athletic for his size, but by no means equivalent to Kobe or Jordan. I don't know why people downplay Jordan's athleticism. How many guys can dunk from the free throw line like he does? BTW, Jordan wouldn't have missed that alley-oop feed that we saw Lebron did in game 3.
 
ABC has the absolute worst coverage. Ratings would be better if this joke of a network wasn't showing the finals. Don't get me started on Mark Jackson announcing, he is like a robot spitting off lines.

TNT is the only place for NBA basketball. Both it picture quality and entertainment.

Yup Mark Jackson sucks. he's a idiot too. Van Gundy pointed it out. he claims it was a charge on manu when the cavs resident flopper varejo was moving side ways yet calls it a block foul on bowen when lebron did exactly what Manu was doing earlier.
