    I agree with the ejection and don't know what the announcers are talking about. There was no way they could let McDyess stay on the floor after that. Very stupid play and I remember him flaking off a couple times like that when he was younger.

    Basically you gave a lot of credit to the Pistons for nearly winning game 3, and no credit for Cleveland nearly winning both games 1 & 2. I just don't agree that there's such a drop in play for the away team in game 3. It's the freaking playoffs.

    As for tonight. F*** McDyees, f*** the Pistons. I don't care what Kerr says. A flying clothesline on another guy in midair is probably the hardest physical attack before flat out punching someone.

    Mike Brown should just make Damon Jones inactive. He is worse than pathetic on offense and defense. Eric Snow would be a better option because at least he can guard someone without giving up a guaranteed basket and/or a foul every possession.

    Agreed. I think he spends most of his time now choreographing his pregame dance routine. I don't think he's hit a 3 this month.

    Very good first half for Cleveland. They closed it out pretty weak but it almost got away from them early in the 2nd quarter. LBJ is carrying the team. Gibson is still getting to the line. Chauncey has calmed down and looks good out there. If he has a strong 2nd half it will be very tough for the Cavs to win. Is it just me or do the Pistons as a team seem to dislike Varejao?

    Nice game so far.

    Looks like another craptastic 3rd quarter for the Cavs. You can bet on it every single game, this is ridiculous.

    I only saw the last few minutes of Q3 and the Cavs looked OK. Gibson cracked me up with the big smile after the 3 pointer. LeBron needs to can the long jumpers and attack. That spin move late was wicked. Chauncey needs to step it up for the Pistons. Both their season and the $$$ on his free agent contract are at stake.

    Yeah, I'm amazed they worked it out. Looked like they turned up their defensive intensity and it kept them in it. Gibson is proving he's going to get plenty of minutes as long as the Cavs are still in the playoffs. Looks like another final minute in the making. I hope the 3rd time's a charm.

    Billups is arguably the best clutch performer in the game, outside of Robert Horry.

    Wow Lebron playing with vengeance and balls of steel. I wished T-Mac would drive to the basket like this at the end of games. The King has arrived.

    Mcgrady doesn't have Lebron's athleticism. No one does....What you just saw was Jordanesque. Lebron is a physical specimen.
