If wallace is hurt I expect Cleavland to pull off an upset, other wise Detroit shoud finish it in 6.

If Larry Hughes doesn't play, the Cavs might have a chance. I always knew that guy was overrated. In fact, if you noticed the group that closed game 4 for the Cavs, they were all defensive-minded. I mean, Varejao over Z, Marshall over Gooden, now you see the importance of having bigs that can play D, even if they are bench players.

It turns out that the Cavs have found a little formula to defend the Pistons. It's the one superstar four defenders that have been so successful in the past. However, it requires Lebron to have superhuman stamina(and for a moment there, I thought that he does, but it seemed that he tired out with about 3 min to go(you can tell when he had to settle for contested shots and missed his free throws)), as offensively, everything has to go through him, and he has to have enough to attack the basket.

LBJ makes bad plays and isn't good at D at all, but he always seems to make the play when his team needs it. He's got a great supporting cast around him. Gotta hand it to him.

either way, we really blew a huge opportunity this year - we would have beaten the clips, and most likley the mavs. facing the heat or cavs in the finals.

arrgh.

I can't believe Rip Hamilton was voted in as an All-star, he sucks. Give me Flip Murray over Smush Parker

Basically since game 1, Cleveland's biggest weakness hasn't been a factor...their defense. Detroit has had lulls where they've gone 5, 6, 7 minutes without scoring a bucket. That's gonna give anybody they play a chance to beat them, and Cleveland's been making the key plays late to do just that.

Rasheed just dug their own grave. He won't be playing at Cleveland.
Ben 0-7 from charity line, yikes!!!
Rip choked. Same way he did in game 5.
I'm rooting for the Pistons. Gotta take out the Heat and NBA lovechild Lebron OUT.

forget about the series for a minute....just think IF the cavs win and beat the heat then lebron has the potentil to win a title or better yet he will have taken his team to the ecf...etc , CANT you hear the critics NOW....on the flipside....shaq COULD win another title w/o kobe and then we lose that angle of an argument for ever....sucks either way IMO...

doesn't suck for me, cause I've given up on the NBA until preseason

Problem with Detroit is they enjoyed too much prosperity this season. This is the first time they've been tested all year, and they're not responding well.

Rip is feeling the pressure to do more, and he's folding like a cheap suit.

Sheed with those guarantees...you had to know he'd be wrong at some point. And now he's hurt.

It's clear Detroit looked past Cleveland. And now, they're in trouble.

So the Cavs beat Detroit and are up 3-2??

Everything is falling in place for the Heat this year.

Are you serious?

I'm glad the cavs won I hope they finish Detroit off in Ohio.

The refs miss calls you cant say they give it to certain players they might lean certain ways but I doubt if stern is running things. that just crazy there all Pro's they get paid millions if they cant get a rebound or make a shot that’s on them.

LBJ is a good player HE'S NO KOBE but he's good

I told every one that I know how to beat the pistons.

You double team Prince every time he touches the ball and hell turn it over

When Detroit's starts to get a lead foul Ben and put him on the line hill miss

Ham & Bill play them man and make them pass the ball watch for ham's little run around shot @ the foul line and it's all good

Not to jump off topic but Prince's Dad works in Long Beach @ a car parts store crazy right?
