The Finals - Game 1 Live Blog — Part 2

Let’s hope the extended halftime helps the Cavs.  Sure, they are down 5, and yes they have played sloppy, but the game is right there for the taking.  It is painfully obvious already that the Cavs have NO ANSWER for Tony Parker.  Well, I take that back.  They might, but Eric Snow weakens the offense […]

Truer words were never spoken.

Finals Match-Up: Point Guards

San Antonio Spurs:
The only thing that you can say about Tony Parker in the 2007 NBA Playoffs is Wow. During the playoffs he has elevated his game, averaging nearly 20 ppg, 6.5 assists, 3 rebounds and a metric ton of pressure on opposing teams to keep him out of the lane. He is […]
