NBA Finals Game 3 Observations

by user Ematik

-Cleveland SONNED San Antonio on the pre-grame intros. Made me want to go out and hoop. -Ben Harper had a nice rendition of the "Star Spangled Banner." Nice tribute to Cleveland's rock and roll history. -We're late on this, but my frat brother King and I noticed that Drew Gooden and Ray Nagin look exactly the same.

[1] -Mark Jackson is not a good announcer. -San Antonio played lackadaisical all game long. If they were on their A-game, they would have crushed the Cavs. -Robert Horry can jump at least 5 inches higher in the Finals. I'm convinced of this. -Boobie started and didn't do a darn thing. Dah well. -Mike Brown, you're making it hard for young coaches to get a chance with your bumbling of this Finals.

[2] -Mark Jackson reaaaally sucks as an announcer. During the last 2 minutes of the game, they should just cut the announcers' microphones off.

-With about 3 minutes to play, the ball is in LeBron's hands, LeBron for 3.....BRICK. Um...why are you shooting that broke-ass shot of yours at a time like this? -Next possesion down, he misses a finger roll. Serves ya right since you should have driven to the basket on the last possession. And all game long. -This game has been a snoozer. All that talk about LeBron's star power is crap. -"All ball!" - Drew "Duckpatch" Gooden after receiving his sixth and final foul. Have a seat, Duckpatch. -Mark Jackson says that all six of Gooden's fouls were not smart. For once tonight, I agree with Mark Jackson. His mic should be off right now, though. -69-62 Spurs, Spurs have the ball..."Someone is going to hit a 3 pointer" - Me...seconds later, Tony Parker nails a 3 to make it 72-67...seconds later Sasha hits a 3 for the Cavs to make it 72-70. I'm a double-psychic. -The Cavs get the ball back after a bad play by Tony Parker, LeBron has the ball, drives and gets covered well and passes off to Anderson Varejao leading to these quotes from myself and King:

"Varejao...Varejao...WHAT THE F*CK ARE YOU DOING VAREJAO?!?" - Me "WHAT THE F*CK?!?" - King

-Horrible, horrible, horrible shot by Varejao...rebound Spurs, Ginobili gets fouled. -Ginobili hits one out of two freebies to make it 73-70. -LeBron hits a quick layup to make the score 73-72. Ginobili is quickly fouled...ice water...74-72...second one's good as well...75-72...Time out, Cavs. -It's your time now, LeBron. Will you shoot it or pass it to Sasha? I'm voting pass to Sasha. -Inbounds pass to LBJ...LeBron for a long 3...brick by LeBron. Game over.

"He fouled me right here!" - LeBron James to Bob Delaney right after the game ended

[3] -Replays show that Bruce Bowen shoved LeBron James during the act of shooting. Conspiracy theories, g'head and take flight......now.

[4] -The moral of the story? F*ck Bruce Bowen.

Tonight's game tied for the second lowest scoring game in NBA Finals history. Somewhere, David Stern is shooting his TV.

The Cavs are now in a 3-0 hole. This series is officially over.

"That was an asstastic game as far as offensive plays go. F*CK." - King.

True indeed, LB. True indeed.
