So last night the Spurs put on what I am calling a clinic in a 85-76 win that was not even that close. Now if you read my two previous blogs you realize that I am very excited that The Finals are here. Well did anyone tell the Cavaliers, because boy oh boy, they got a beat down lastnight. It got to the point where I felt sorry for them. The Spurs just would not let up.
Tony Parker ran through, around, and over them as though he was a madman. Tim did his usual thang, holding down the defense and scoring at will. There were a couple of times where the Cavs completely forgot to guard him. Tim Duncan, one of the greatest if not the greatest power forward of all time, how do you forget to guard him. The look on Tim's face when he turned and realized no one was there was like, oh my God, 2 points. And what can be said of Manu Ginobili? Manu slashes, he drives, he shoots, he flops, he takes charges, he does it all.
But the Spur of the night was Tony Parker. He made the Cavaliers look like statues as he scored almost at will. If he wanted to go in the paint he did. If he wanted to hit an outside jumper he did. It was Tony's world and the Cavs were just along for the ride.
The Spurs played an unbelieveable defense on Lebron James. They had one person guarding him, they had two people guarding him, and sometimes even three people guarding him. They made is night a living hell. Lebron went the entire first half without making a field goal, it wasn't until nearly half way through the 3rd quarter he got his first bucket. He ended the game with 14 points.
The city is happy and the Spurs look great, now we must wait three days before they play again on Sunday, stupid ABC!
GO SPURS GO
