Comments on: SPURS/CAVS GAME 3 RECAP: I WAS WRONG

Who would have thought the Spurs-Cavs series would be harder to watch than a Spurs-Pistons series? Most of the sportswriters I read prior to the Finals were praying they did not have to cover another San Antonio-Detroit matchup like a couple years back, which featured some truly ugly basketball. However, I do believe Cleveland and San Antonio have managed to carve out a new low in basketball lore. Game 3 was just brutal. Cavs firing up three-pointers at will, missing just about all of them…and the Spurs were unable to do put the game away earlier and could come up with nothing but committing a foul at the end of the game just to escape with a win. And the refs didn’t even call the foul because they wanted to put the crowd and audience out of its collective misery. The Pistons would have made a much better series of it in terms of wins and losses, though it would have been no more entertaining to watch. At least with LeBron there is some “drama” wondering if and when he will take over the court and shove his teammates to the side. The “team player” concept should have been dumped starting in Game 1. The only chance the Cavs had was to let LeBron fire away.

It’s not necessarily GOING TO BE a sweep… but it does look ominous, huh?
And don’t worry – I think more than a few people got on the Cav-wagon post their part in the Demise of Detroit.

It takes a man to admit he was wrong.

Either that or a blogger who makes a lot of bad predictions. I mean, c’mon. Who really thought the Cavs even had a chance? I can’t imagine anyone thinking of putting even $10 (to win $40) on the Cavs to win the series.

I can’t even watch my Cavs play anymore. I stopped watching at halftime when they blew an 8 point lead as they rested James on the bench. If they have no intention of at least making an effort out of winning, what’s the point of continuing to watch them?

Maybe I’ll DVR Game 4 and watch it later if they win.

And yes, ratings have been terrible this year. Through three games, the finals are down by 27% among households, 29% among viewers and 33% among adults 18-49.

This year’s game 3 is based on the fast nationals, numbers will likely change when the finals are released (they’ll likely go up slightly).

LeBron is an awesome player, but he is only at the dominating level at times. Parker should be finals MVP, he has dominated.

It’s a real shame to see how embarassing this series is. Varejo’s scoop was one of the worst things I’ve seen in a long long time. Pistons would have made a better series out of it. Regardless though, Spurs are just too tough.

You were totally wrong!!! I knew this would be a sweep, the Cavs just don’t have enough firepower to score on San Antonio
