Well, if he was smart, he should have taken the bet, it's too late now.

But remember Detriot won the first 2 games but Cleveland end up going into the NBA finals so you never know.

Remembe last year? Dallas was up 3-0, then Heat won the next 4?

Well not really...Dallas was only up 2 - 0 before the Heat won 4 to take the win. but i see what your sayin. No team has ever been down 3 - 0 and won the series.

I know but this is spurs we are talking here. Their playoff record is amazing... 14-3? I seriously doubt that Cleveland can come back and win it all.

Another one in the books for the Spurs. I mean seriously the Cavs had every opportunity to win the game with the Big 3 out of form. Lebron is about to become LeBroom.

As for that last play he did get fouled but it wasn't in the act. I think Lebron needs to stop hesitating and just go for it. He will eventually win a championship just not this season.

Wow being a Spurs fan I must say that was an ugly game but I will take it any day but in a strange way it was also very entertaining to the end. The Cavs had a chance till the last shot so it made the game much more exciting for me.

It looked like he tried but the ref didnt call it. IMO i thought it was before the act of shooting but im also bias being a Spur...i mean Spurs fan.

well aside from your bias - it coulda gone both ways, it was a foul, but its hard to call that at the end...but it was def in the act of shooting...

do you remember those and1's Webber got in the detroit series - geez, that guy had the longest motion for his shot n got the call...

ugh, damn cavs

I don't see how they didn't call the intentional foul.....it was definitely an intentional foul.

Yeah I agree could have gone either way but the series is over now, the question is now are they a dynasty? I say yes but im sure that was expected.

Correct me if I'm wrong.

If Bowen was going for the intentionol foul on Lebron. (Looked like Bowen fouled Lebron before Lebron had the ball) Then wouldn't that be a penalty? Since you cannot foul someone when the ball is not in play. That would mean 1 free throw for the cavs plus the ball.

Well I didn’t see a foul before he had the ball but I did see him attempt a foul after Lebron caught the ball, and that would have been a two shot foul. If he was in the act of shooting from the three point mark he would have gotten a three shot foul.

the ball was in play (lebron was dribbling) when bowen grabbed him...so it would just be free throws, 2 if the the foul was before lebron takes the shot, or 3 if it was in the act of shooting.

no way are they gonna call that in the act and let him tie the score

Go Spurs Go. That game was bittersweet. They went up three zero but Bowen fouled him. Everybody admitted it. The ref just missed the call. It would have been two shots. But the Cavs had so many chances to win in the last 3min. Nobody could make a clutch shot. Go Spurs Go.

When Bowen first touched him he was still dribbling.

Bad calls are a part of the game. You can either harp on them or move on. The lack of a foul call isn't the reason the Cavs are down 3-0. They are simply playing a far superior team.

Congrats Spurs! However, i wish CLE didn't score that last 3 pointer, had the spurs (-2.5), and final being 83-82 gives a very sour taste for the season final. Oh wells, NICE WIN!
