Congrats. I said that Pistons would win in 6 and was wrong, so I just thought I'd come back and say that I was definetely wrong. Congrats to the Cavs, crazy game. Could Detroit and San Antonio both get eliminated in the 2nd round?
Cavs beat the Pistons 3 times in a row including invasion in their own palace is the most surprising this season.
I hope that Miami is ready to play some D, because if they don't they are going to get walked over. Here we have a team with that won 62 games getting the beat down by LeBron and co. It was a good effort my McDy in the 4th, but not enough.
Walked over? You haven't won the series yet don't get ahead of yourself. Posey will probably guard Lebron or Wade will. The Cavs simply have no answer for Shaq. BTW, if the Cavs do win, they better get ready to play some D because the Heat's supporting cast has been on fire througout the playoffs.

I thought I heard Mike Brown mentioning to Kenny Natt tonight about the future game plan against Dallas and how to handle Dirk. I don't recall the Heat even being brought up. I guess if you beat a completely healthy team 3 times in a row that won 62 games, it's the signal to start talking championship strategy. Correct me if I'm wrong, but I thought that's what I heard.

I'm not guaranteeing that the Heat will beat the Cavs cuz I can't predict tomorrow but Heat will not get walked over. Just because you guys beat the Pistons (if you do beat them once more) doesn't mean you guys can take on any team in the league. I look forward to seeing the King vs. the Flash tho. It's gonna be a heluva series that will be remembered for a long time.

If I had to pick a player to play a full game for me it would be Dwayne Wade. If i had to pick a player to take the final shot in a game it would be Lebron or Kobe. The fact of the matter is No one on the cavs (except Lebron) can gaurd Wade. The thing with the pistons is there is no inside scoring. All of it is done at the 3, midrange or rahseeds back to the basket. Shaq will pound that post move and Posey will contain Lebron to at least 25 pts a game. If the cavs want to win against the heat. Larry hughes needs to step it up. and... who is to say Detroit won't come back.

Shaq is different. He still has half tank left.
The only way LeBron will be limited to 25 is if they double team, and you saw how that doesn't work based on this pistons/cavs series. All that means is more assists for lebron and more points for his teamates. Shaq is going to be getting into so much early foul trouble with Bron/Larry/Murray driving to the basket and won't even be a factor. If he is, anderson is going to harass Shaq to no end. Snow won't be able to contain wade like he did billups. Jones and Marshall will be draining threes to no end. Z will be hitting 12 feet jump shots now that he doesn't have Wallace the DPOY to worry about. Heat won't be walked over, but there is a chance that they will loose.
Hey everybody chill with the cavs-heat talk. We don't want to sound like rasheed wallace do we? Man the underdogs are on top. From people talking sweep to this. Hopefully the cavs can close out Detroit on their hometurf.

Nice Job King and Cavs ! If they will win the next game, welcome Heat ! I'm not saying that Detroit will not make a run and win this series, but I'm saying IF Cavs will get to the ECF, then I don't believe that they can beat the Heat. There's no way that Gooden or Big Z could handle ShaQ, and if they do...Shaq is a veteran, he will pass it to a wide-open player and Walker, Wade, Payton or Posey will make the shot. But i'm arguing with that point that double-team will shot down LBJ. He can split the D or, he has a great courtivision, he could easily find an open man for a layup or wideopen shot. But yeah, let's hope for the best (GO CAVS, ECF would be great fo' them).

Sheed stuffed his ankle in game 4, Rip stuffed his ankle in the Bucks series and Big Ben has played with leg and hip injuries throughout the entire season.
