Cavs actually showing some heart with all that went down with Hughes. Tight ball game in the fourth.

I turned it on about twenty minutes ago. cleveland was chanting, "beat Detroit," earlier. that made me
and I think lebron's a few assists away from a triple-double _________________ "I define success by championships, by winning..." Kobe Bryant

One away from a triple dub and the game has turned into the afree throw shooting contest ..... I think this is typical Detroit being bored.
If they lose this game, look for a beatdown in Game 4. |

Two 3 point daggers .... that may have done it.
Pistons shot a miserble 38% in the fourth and was up going into the quarter.
Lebron with a triple double, a block and four steals. If he's overrated, we need more overrated players like him in our lineup. |

Great game by Lebron. His second triple double of the playoffs. He will look good getting the ball to Kobe on the wing in a couple of years.
I didn't realize, but the record for most triple doubles in a player's first playoffs is five, by Magic. Of course, Magic was also a rookie that year. And played center in a pivotal game. _________________ RIP mom. 11-21-1933 to 6-14-2023. |

Lebron with almost a quadruple double, just a couple of rebounds, assists, and turnovers short. _________________ RIP mom. 11-21-1933 to 6-14-2023. |

The Cleveland crowd deserves major props. They were crazed and raucous and definitely helped rattle the Pistons in that 4th quarter cold streak. _________________ Love, Laker Lanny |

Lebron might be overexposed...or what have you..but the guy is really a remarkable basketball player. The size/strength....combined w/ that speed...it's just an incredible package.
Watching him drive on people...it's like watching a guy take his kid brother to school at will....the defenders just appear puzzled...their faces and body language are saying "what the hell do I do to stop that??" |

8-23 with 8 Turnovers. I don't think anyone was wondering "how do you stop that" |

I'm not talking about one game. I'm talking about him overall...and 8-23 is hardly reflective of what he does on a nightly basis. You know that.
He shoots it at 48%...which is pretty damn good for a perimeter player in this day and age...particularly considering he takes over 20 attempts a night.
Also, those percentages go way up when he's taking his attempts off the drive...which was the aspect of his game that I was talking about in my post. |

I reallized that in Wizards series. Nobody dare to have any body contact with King when he penetrated, which will automatically yield a foul. Plus LBJ can carry the ball and use 4 steps to the rim.
Apply these rules for me and I can draw double team in NBA too.

the theme of tonight is, cavs and mavs
I'll take cleveland winning the series, even though it'll mess up my bracket. I just can't stand detroit. _________________ "I define success by championships, by winning..." Kobe Bryant

Yup
Pistons or Spurs should beat Heat, but the Heat can beat the Cavs for sure and they have a good chance against the Mavs. |
