[Eastern Conf Finals] Cleveland Cavaliers vs. Detroit Pistons

WITNESS!! Did you see that pryuen??

ARGGGG!!! NO!!!! NO!!!

 

Take away their strength and clog the paint. If the Rockets has been able to get to the Finals, you could start to print championship t-shirts and plan a parade. Rockets would beat em in 6. Jazz would beat them, Suns, Mavs, etc...last yr's Heat.

 

Narkley just jinxed the Cavs by saying they win it Saturday night. Barkley is like 0-17 in predictions this post season.

 

Jordanesque. Simply amazing. This will be a player our grandkids will be telling their grandkids about.

 

arenas is not a superstar bro. he shoots 40%, which is even worse than tmac and that shoudl be a diss. he's a good star. he's on the level of yao.

 

Detroit just isn't the same detroit. They have either lost their edge or have gotten old.

 

WAAAAAY ahead of you on that one.

It's not uncommon though for fans to consistently confuse "best scorer" with "best player". We're mesmerized by guys who put up a lot of shots and score a lot. But if you average a triple double or get 10 assists nightly? Meh!

 

see, this is what tmac has to see. make his J. bron didn't penetrate EVERY play like these fools always say. u will get destroyed w/ fatigue if u do that.

tmac works on his J => rockets go a long way next yr.

those shots that lebron took are shots tmac can easily make.

but the reason i say lebron > kobe is the "playmaking" part. kobe can't do that. kobee has to score to dominate. bron can do 25 and 12. u never see kobe put up 25 and 12 and dominate, even w/ shaq. but then he can pull a kobe and put up 48.

but along w/ 48 pts, he put up 10 boards and 7 dimes.

dude is not even complete since his J is still erratic. his J was on tonight, but it will be off the next game most likely

 

Every great player has a game like this in his career. It's the time when you turn from a star to a winner. And Lebron James has just made that leap.

 

too bad tmac wasted his great ones in the freakin first round. he put up 45 and 46 on the pistons too. but no one cares if they're in the first round.

man i hope tmac can do this next yr.

 

reggie miller is either a certified idiot, or he's flame-baiting by being intentionally obtuse.

 

I'm happy for you and other Cleveland sports fans. I've got friends up there and they've told me how the heartbreak with the Browns and with the Indians in the World Series affected them. The key is the Cavs must close out this series. Remember last year.

 

One last thing tonight, I hope you just ate a small 'told you so' sandwich for all the people who thought this series wouldn't be close, Pistons are too good, Cleveland doesn't deserve to be in this series, Chicago would be a better 2 seed, etc. And if Cleveland makes it to the finals remember that. Even *I* couldn't pick the Cavs against the Spurs BUT I think it will be entertaining. (Reg season doesn't really matter, but the Spurs were 2-0 against the Pistons and 0-2 against the Cavs)

No way the series is over yet or guaranteed, but I think everyone underestimated the Cavs...I mean Lebron.

 

great player doesn't mean great analyst

 

no, everyone just overrated the pistons and bulls.

the jazz would win the east EASY. we would win the east EASY. the east is very bad.

the spurs would finish these 2 teams off in 5.

 

Much thanks. The few times we've come close (in any sport) it's usually a heartbreaking last second type thing. And you're right, Cleveland has to come out Saturday like they're trying to win by 20.

 

really i would love for lebron to win a ring sometime soon. not a lot of superstars are as unselfish as he is but he can also take over the game. everyone should play like lebron.

 

I don't know what the Jazz or Rockets have to do w/ this series to dispute my point. You can hide behind semantics, but the truth is most people didn't give the Cavs a chance this series.

 

i do agree with u they didnt the cavs a lot of a chance, but that's b/c they overrated the pistons. u even hear greg anthony saying pistons were the best team in the playoffs, even moreso than the spurs at one point, which is ridiculous.

 

Simply AMAZING. LEBRON 4 MVP!!!
