    Lebron has taken more free throw shots than the whole Pistons team in the entire series.


    But Hubie said that is mostly due to the fact that the Pistons aren't being aggressive.

    I have never seen a team more bored playing basketball than the Detroit Pistons. They look like they were woken up at 3 am and forced to play basketball in order to get their evening gruel.

    I just submitted my vote for Cleveland.

    Are Pistons fans rooting for LeBron?

    Did I just hear an "MVP" chant?

    It sounded like they actually booed when he missed that last shot.

    That's really going out on a limb.

    OMG @ that block Lebron got, but they called goaltending. Should have been a block though.

    Ok.

    Then why even LOL at those 16 people? You really went out on a limb by voting for Cleveland near end of game 4 with Cleveland up 20 and 3-0 in series.

    Good job!

    Well I think the Pistons did offer to sell some of there tickets to Cavs season ticket holders to there are probably a good bit of Cavs fans at the game.

    Or Piston fans are just that fed up that they are cheering for him.

    Based on the jerseys they were wearing, they looked like Cavs fans. Most all the Pistons fans have left.

    Maybe it's like a Kobe in NY thing. They are praying he'll sign with them when he's a FA so they are totally abandoning team loyalty in favor of showing him support.

    I only tuned in for part of the 4th quarter.

    Well with the economy I wouldn't blame Piston fans for not even showing up when the Pistons play with that lack of effort.

    I get that they are clearing cap space but you don't hire a rookie Coach and have him deal with that many personalities in A.I.,Sheed, and Rip.

    I think part of Dumars' strategy was since the season was going to be a loss anyway (even if they had kept Chauncey), may as well check Curry out to see if he's a keeper. He got his answer but I'm not sure Curry will be fired. Hope he stays.

    The Pistons fans that bought tickets to the playoffs deserve a refund.

    An interesting stat I don't think I've ever seen: no player on the floor (for either team) had more points, rebounds, assists, steals, or blocks than LeBron did in game 4.

    For the entire series, I think LeBron had more points than the entire Detroit starting front line (McDyess, Rasheed, Prince).

    Surely that can't be the ONLY reason. LBJ is a fantastic player. He doesn't need the refs to help him out. ...but they still do ...over and over ...and over.

    I was really hoping the Pistons would have won this series. I feel so bad for McDyess. He is one of the most deserving people, and it's unfortunate he isn't going to get a ring this year (again).

    Maybe Morey can try to snag him. ;)
