Cavs vs. Spurs 2/28

4cwebb · Feb 28, 2005

Cavs giving the Spurs a run. The more important item of note is that Bowen has dogged James into a 6-21 shooting night. Maybe that guy can play a little defense.

Twix · Feb 28, 2005

91-87 Spurs with 36 secs left!

GO CAVS!

Twix · Feb 28, 2005

McInnis with a 3!! 92-90 spurs...19 secs.

Twix · Feb 28, 2005

Hehe...Big Z with a dunk? 92-92 tied with 14 secs left..Spurs ball.

Twix · Feb 28, 2005

I have no idea who did the game winning shot since I'm just following the game online. But Spurs won by 2. 94-92.

timmy d did...which sucks..i wanted cavs to win...i think we all did

iheartBrad · Feb 28, 2005

yeah that stinks....

good for the Cavs though...they played hard im sure

i think the Spurs have been a little sluggish coming back from the allstar break...i mean they nearly lose in a close game to the Rockets then they lose to the Grizz and then they nearly lose again to the Cavs

i don't know whats going on with them...but im liking it...lol

for those of you who missed the game, you missed the worst goal tending call in a lifetime.

i'm probably more excited than any of you. spurs play poorly and win two games, almost win a third. just kidding. not about the wins, but about being excited.

even though i highly doubt kings fans will think it was the worst goal tending call of a lifetime

I think not.

with about 20 seconds left, mcinnis took a three point shot that was an airball. airball as in it was short, short as in the ball was below the level of the rim while being between the rim and jeff. tim duncan was trying to grab the ball, and mistakenly tipped it up and in. the officials called it goal-tending and counted it as a three point basket. without that, there is no tie at the end.

fortunately, tim hit his shot and the mysteriously bad call falls off the face of the earth.

from the express-news
He also might have become the first player in NBA history to tip in a 3-pointer. For the opposing team.

With the Spurs leading 92-87, McInnis hoisted a 24-foot shot that appeared to fall a couple inches short of the rim. Duncan tried to pluck the ball out of the air only to watch it bounce off his fingers and through the rim.

Official Jack Nies awarded the Cavaliers three points.

"From what I understand it should have been two points," Duncan said. "It was just retarded, a bad move on my part."

the only way he can award three points is if it's basket interference.

5 d. A field goal accidentally scored in an opponent's basket shall be added to the opponent's score, credited to the opposing player nearest the shooter and mentioned in a footnote.

11. PENALTY: If the violation is at the opponent's basket, the offended team is awarded two points, if the attempt is from the two point zone and three points if it is from the three point zone.

Sorry, Dave. Not gonna get any love around here for bad goal-tending calls. Just not gonna happen.

At least what happened to your team didn't cost them a game...or two or maybe even three.

I'm on board with the goal-tending mistake. Clearly a blown call. How 'bout Duncan shoving down McInnis on the pick and roll to free himself though? I think he got suspended for a game for shoving a referee with the same move, and it goes as a no call on the last play. Retribution in the eyes of a Spurs' fan, I'm sure.

you got that right. they get the other call right (espn, noted spur haters, laughed at the bad call), and the spurs don't need the game winning shot.

the officiating was very inconsistant all night. as usual.

I haven't had access to espn in about 6 months, but since when did they become haters of the Spurs? Does anyone hate the Spurs in the national media? Is it possible that the fans of any team feel that the team they are cheering for is persecuted?

yes, stephen a. smith spent years ridiculing drob and saying he was robbing the spurs for his paycheck, then exclaimed that rasho could never fill his shoes when he retired.

greg anthony and his sidekick, tim "no legs" legler having saying spurs have no chance all season until they eventually couldn't argue with reality.

bdouble013 · Mar 1, 2005

What delusion have you been living in? Every ESPN analyst predicted the Spurs would win the Championship yet again. How is that hate?

Btw, could Timmy D show any less emotion when hitting a game winner?

iheartBrad · Mar 1, 2005

^i was at spursreport during that game last week they had against the rockets...and everyone was totally hating on the announcers that were announcing the game...and it was truly because they weren't up the spurs butt....the main announcer guy i can't remember his name but it was Steve "Snapper" Jones and Tim Legler...and they just weren't impressed by the Spurs...actually i think there may have been a time or two where they actually made fun of the almighty Spurs...me i was enjoying it...Spurs fans however...

Spurs fans couldn't handle not hearing all the usual praises that they get from the game broadcasters...JOIN THE CLUB GUYS!!!!

Dave McNulla · Mar 1, 2005

the spurs are never the darlings of the nba, never have been, never will. they're the kings, just with a couple champoinships.

about half the analysts picked the spurs, a fourth picked the pistons, and a fourth picked the timberwolves. the ones on espn tv that talk the loudest and most have been agains the spurs from the beginning, even when it didn't make sense. they just now are jumping on the bandwagon because they have no choice.

if spurs fans couldn't handle it, they'd have committed suicide by now. that's a far cry from ridiculing the analysts for painting themselves into corners.

Dave McNulla · Mar 3, 2005

UPDATE: on nbatv, ronnie "never admit we were wrong" nunn just said they screwed the call up, that it was supposed to be two points. he said the bad call didn't affect the final result because "the harder working team won".

he never said why it was never scored as a goal-tend in the books, which is necessary to make it a three pointer in that circumstance.

VF21 · Mar 3, 2005

And a little part of me really has to wonder what Nunn would have said if the Spurs hadn't pulled out the win...

I laughed at that too! What WOULD it take for Tim to show a smile, or some satisfaction at a job well done?
