their only chance is that the spurs get complacent. if that's the case they may steal game 4. i think they'll get hammered game 3 again, MAYBE win game 4, then lose game 5.
personally, i think the spurs are too good to get complacent though, and think they will sweep. 😬
i'm just trying to figure out how the %$#@ the pistons lost to that cavs team . . . 🙁
would it have mattered if james DID get the foul call he was looking for at the end of the game? they would likely have called it BEFORE the shot, so he'd have only gotten 2 anyway. if it WAS in the act, i seriously doubt he'd have drained all 3 from the line. people on the radio and tv make it sound like the reason they lost was because that foul wasn't called.
the reason they lost imo is because they suck. 😬 or because the spurs are just too damn good.

They lost because Lebron missed 3 layups, Verejo was an idiot for actually shooting, and they went 2-244 from behind the arc.
It was a foul though. And it was in the act. If they called the foul, there still would have been 2 or more seconds left. So even if he didn't make all 3 there was still a chance for a offensive rebound.

They should have called the fould on Bron Bron.
I dont think it really matters actually. Refs usually dont call fouls at the end of the game, anyway, so I dont know why everyone's trippin over this one incident. Besides, it wasnt the hardest of fouls if you're referring to the one in which Bruce grabbed the back of his uniforn.

It was an intentional foul though. Its one thing for the refs to ignore incidental fouls at the end of the game, but intentional? You know the phrase, "let the players decide the game"? Well this is the one time when the player "decides" to foul on purpose, and the refs don't call it.
Yes, but at the same time that's the mentality of the game. Play it out at the end. Besides, it's hard to call out a foul at the end of the game when it was't very obvious. You have a few seconds at most, as a ref, to decide whether a call should be had or not. It happens all the time. Remember Jordan's last shot as a Bull? He pushed his defender off of him with his opposite hand in order to have an open shot. Calls at the end of the game are never really called unless they're painfully obvious. Like if a guy is smacked in the middle of the air or if he's wrapped around a defender's arms.

LEbron is great... but they are going to get raped. Maybe if LEbron jsut says "**** this worhtless bunch of clowns" and starts going all Kobe Bryant out there like game 6 in Detroit maybe they will win.
Haha, true. Dont know why he passes it to Anderson Varejao at a critical moment in the game, especially since he's guarded by Duncan.
