The question is who will be the winner of this series. The answer is David Stern. He'll fix the game in Ohio to force a Game 7. |

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. |

You must be joking. If anything, the refs tried to hand that game to the Pistons. |

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.

Very unlikely that the Lakers would beat the Clippers and Mavs. |

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. _________________ So glad we gave you your flowers while you were here, Kobe. |

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. _________________ "Now, if life is coffee, then the jobs, money & position in society are the cups.

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 glad we gave you your flowers while you were here, Kobe. |

I couldn't care less about Lebron James, but he certainly isn't hype. That doesn't mean the refs were good. There were blown calls all over the 4th quarter. The crap foul on Rasheed that led to the technical. The bogus offensive foul on Billups when Varejao stepped in front of him after he got rid of the ball. The non-call when Lebron knocked someone down going for an offensive board that led to the technical on Flip Saunders. _________________ Game recognize game, Granddad. - Riley Freeman, The Boondocks |

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? |
