Spurs vs. Cavs

[GreenMachine]

I am tired of all the Cavs players saying what a bad game they had and they just played poorly. The reason they played "poorly" could have had something to do with the Spurs stifling defense. The Cavs are not giving the Spurs much credit. Thats OK, let's just spank them again and knock the "king" further off his throne!!:D

every team that loses says that. I would bet you could look back and see that even SA has done it. It's how you stay in a series like this mentally.

The Spurs are pretty good at giving credit where credit is due. They may say that they played poorly, while in the same breath giving credit to the other teams defense for their poor outing.

See, I'm a believer that there are three ways to lose a game:

1. You play poorly (miss open shots)

2. Your opponent has a great defensive game (didn't give you open shots)

3. A combination of both.


I would think that the Cavs first game fell into the third category, but I think that they had a couple of chances to make a move in that game and just couldn't get the ball to go in the bucket.
