    This is going to be a boring series. 4-0 Cavs.

    Cavs roll the Pistons. Hamilton/Wallace will go off in one game in Detroit, but that's it. Cleveland in 5.

    I keep thinking the Pistons will eventually turn it on but they let me down everytime.

    Cavs in 6.

    I think this series will go to either 4 or 5 games. Cavs are too dominate at home for the Pistons to steal one there. Cavs can take one at the Palace and then win the next in Cleveland. Prince really can't guard LeBron.

    I too get the feeling that the Pistons can turn it around, cause they have legit talent and can play good basketball for stretches. And I also don't believe in Cleveland, but they consistently play great ball. I really hope Detroit can make it a competitive series.

    lebron is just f'ing crazy. an alley-oop that almost no one else could even set a teammate for, and then a bank in 3 with 2 seconds left. he was almost under the basket by the time it went in. what a freak.

    Lebron with 22 points at the half, just hit a 40 footer at the buzzer. He should not be legal.

    The only reason to watch this series is the pure pleasure of watching LeBron. I give the Pistons about a 1 in 5 chance of winning one game.

    LeBron is the most freaky athlete of all time. The stuff he does can't be described. It must be torture listening Cavs games on the radio. I would go insane.

    i still remember the first time ESPN showed a high school game of his. i was trying to figure out if i was seeing things right he was so ridiculously big and athletic. i figured even if his jumper never got any better than it was in that game (it wasn't good) that his floor as an nba player was 25/5/5 because there was no way to stop that athleticism, size and passing. and now he's putting up 28/7/7 seasons while basically being on cruise control. if he had kobe's jumper, they'd just have to shut down the league for the next 10 years, hand lebron all the trophies, and invite everyone back in 2020 when it was fair again.


    now that i've said all that, cleveland better not lose this game.

    Don't worry about the Cavs losing. Even during the years the Pistons had more talent, the Cavs were a good matchup for them. Now that the Cavs have more talent, it's a knockout. The only way the Cavs lose a game to the Pistons is boredom.

    is there ANY doubt lebron is the best player in this league?

    it's no longer kobe. and wade is not close to the all-around player lebron is.
