Spurs are Spanked

Yesterday afternoon the Cavaliers whooped the Spurs leading by as many as 24 during the game. I'm going to keep my summary quick today; everything was pretty close with us leading by a little until the 3rd quarter, where the Cavs stepped up and started to extend the lead further and further. By mid 4th quarter the game was pretty much over and the bench players as well as the shower warmers were called over to close off the remaining minutes of the game.

So, why did we win and play so well? If you hadn't noticed, Lebron, Wally, Mo, and everyone else don't like it when they lose to pathetic teams (Wizards) or pathetically (Magic).

Wally started off playing pretty well, grabbing a couple of assists and an offensive rebound to help the general well-being of the team, but his shot just wouldn't go down-- he was 0-2 in FG's and he missed a technical free throw in the 1st quarter (which he usually makes!).

I still don't see what Mike Brown sees in Gibson; "Boobie" was 0-5 (scoring 0), played horrible defense, had 4 personal fouls, and only 1 rebound in a grand total of 25 minutes. Seriously, this pisses me off. You don't play a guy who can't shoot for crap, who plays defense by fouls, can't get rebounds, etc., he has a decent game (5+ points) once a month at most and the only thing he is useful for is dribbling the ball around. Daniel gets too much sympathy and for no good reason. If there is a reason, I'd like to hear it, and it better be legit.

In any case, we won, although it took 3 of our 5 starters in order to step it up and win; Z, one of my personal favorite players, hasn't been playing too well recently, and Darnell Jackson is almost as bad as Gibson. They could've had Wally play as small forward, Lebron as power forward, and Z as center as usual. I can't wait until Anderson and Ben come back, and I just wish Gibson would get injured for the rest of the year so he doesn't keep on wasting minutes and wasting possessions.

Next up: Wizards. If we lose this I WILL stop this blog. Seriously.
