Brooms Loom In Cleveland

[Bondsaway]

CLEVELAND (AP) -- Down 0-3 to the San Antonio Spurs after Tuesday night's 75-72 loss, the Cleveland Cavaliers are left looking to salvage at least one win in their first NBA finals.

LeBron James tried to rally his teammates after the game.

"Well, everybody has to still believe," James said. "You know, it is the first of four games, but we dug ourselves a big hole, and we have to come out aggressive."

Game 4 is Thursday night.

The Cavaliers have been derided by some critics as one of the worst teams to reach the NBA finals. A sweep would certainly help that argument.

Cleveland has gone 43 years without a championship and not even Browns legend Jim Brown -- who played for that last title team -- could bring any luck to the Cavaliers from his courtside seat.

James talked about winning four straight, but the gravity of their situation seems to have set in.

"You know, the experience factor, we don't like to make any excuse, but it definitely played a part in this finals against a world power team in the Spurs," James said.

I don't see the Cavs putting up much of a fight up tommorow night. The Spurs are the best team in the series not to mention they have the best player in the game IMO Manu Ginobli. Not many teams will you see a starter on the all star team be willing to come off the bench to ensure his teams success!
