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

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.

Lebron with almost a quadruple double, just a couple of rebounds, assists, and turnovers short.

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

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.

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.
