gotta keep givin lebron props. this guy is crazy good and i'm so grateful i get to witness it. I AM A WITNESS!!! anyway great game by the cavs. they won 3 straight and they can close it out in cleveland. the pistons better wake up because a lot of people have them winning it all. i think it's definitely going 7 games the pistons should come to play in game 6 they're too good.
Man this is crazy...I still think the Pistons pull off the series, but it'll be close.Even if the Cavs win, I don't see them getting past Miami...heck I'm not sure the Pistons can get by the Heat the way they are playing.

Great leadership by 'Bron, that pass to Gooden into the paint was very unselfish, and eventually Gooden connected at the rim. Lol, Eric Snow. If the Cavs lost tonight, it would be Snow's fault. Snow got his ass saved tonight. Wtf was Hamilton doing on that last play? Its like he didnt even want to touch the ball, was he trying to draw a foul? Anyways, the Pistons still have a chance of taking this in 7, as LeBron said after the game, in 2003 the Pistons were down 3-1 to Orlando but won in 7. You never know what could happen with Detroit, they're a very resilient team. LMAO, did anyone see Damon Jones get hit in the face, right when the Cavs started celebrating for the win? That was classic.

According to the rules after reaching a certain limit (off the top of my head I think it is 16) you get suspended for every other T or something like that.Eric Snow has had a really good series. I was tired of Cav fan's all through the season not giving him any respect. Now he is showing why he is here (he has been playing like this all season actually). AV.. AV.. AV.. He drove me crazy during the season. But his energy, physical play, and aggressiveness has made up for his lack of natural talent or any real needed ability. He has been huge during this series. I actually was upset when he fouled out today, the Cavs actually needed him. That shocked me a bit.Both sides had some not so good calls, but in the end it worked out okay (well, I am a Cav's fan :shifty2: ).When Sheed fouled out I was like, "Yes!" Then the Cavs decided not to guard Dyess and I was pretty upset. Over ten points in the 4th, that is pretty sad to give to a bench guy when the game is on the line. I was pretty mad.Fun game.<div class='quotetop'>QUOTE </div><div class='quotemain'>LMAO, did anyone see Damon Jones get hit in the face, right when the Cavs started celebrating for the win?

I thought maybe he was crying. (Damon Jones seems like a crier to me).
No man its diffrent in playoffs, if you get 7 t's in the playoffs then the suspension starts.. the t's reset when playoffs start. Sheed only has 3 in playoffs.

Cav's are my second favorite team behind the celtics and I a sooo happy to see them getting in position to take this series
It's pretty funny how everyone thought Cleveland was most likely the team to get swept.Now there up 3-2 against probably the best team in the east,even though there not playing anywhere near it.This will really be a dissapointing season for the Pistons if they do in fact lose to the Cavaliers.Seems being an underdog brings lots of motivation to some teams.
Pistons win in 7. I don't see the Cavs finishing this off but great job on getting close. Pistons playing desperate means win.
Pistons win 84-82The Cavs had so many chances to win this game but they made to many mental mistakes at the end of the 4th.1. Having Anderson Varasujo guarding Chauncey Billups leaving Snow on Rasheed which resulted ina huge bucket.2. Lebron James doing the spin move turning the ball over.3. Having ONE timeout to last them the final 6 minutes.3. The Cavs gave up 3 HUGE offensive rebounds in the last 30 seconds of the game. They had 5 the whole second half and then they get 3 in 30 seconds.
Both these teams made alot of mistakes down the strech1- How does rasheed miss two freethrows2- How do you put side show bob on billups?3- What's up with lebron hanging onto the ball for that long and then losing it?4- Why is rasheed taking 3's in the clutchCavs blew it. They don't deserve to win. 3 straight offensive rebounds, unbelievable.

Sometimes people miss, it happens.2. They didn't come out of a timeout or anything, and put Varajeo on Snow, it wasn't drawn up like that. When teams do an on ball pick, lots of the time, the way to stop that is called a switch. What happened was, Varajeo and Snow ended up switching which most teams have happen after a pick. 3. Rasheed is a good three point shooter, and there wasn't much time left on the shot clock. Why is taking threes a bad thing?Lebron James had one big turnover, and the rest of the team had a few turnovers. What i think really hurt the Cavaliers, was not using their timeouts wisely, especially that final timeout, those three offensive rebounds at the end, free throw shooting and of course the turnovers and missed oppurtunites in the final five minutes of the game. The team as a whole shot horribly on free throws, Lebron James was the only one hitting free throws this game. The offensive execution down the stretch was horrible, and not getting in position to get the rebounds at end is inexcusable.As soon as the Cavaliers got that ball, and got across half court with the score 84-81, Lebron James should have called that final time out. He should have never went towards the basket. By calling a timeout the Cavaliers could have drawn up a play, and then he could have attacked and dished. That was a players mess up and i thought, a big players mess up.
I saw Lebron make two bad plays.Grabbing the rebound after Sheed's last miss FT shot, and throwing it down like a dunk.And holding on to the ball, and getting a foul called, where the most he can get is 2 points. He should have tried to jack a 3, and at least there would have been some contact and then he could have tried to win at the line, not miss that FT on purpose.
You don't miss 2 freethrows in the clutch, you just don't.And rasheed took like 3 3 pointers in the clutch, i don't believe he should've.
How about them Pistons? They played like champions in the fourth quarter and came up with a shot whenever we needed one. Game 7 should be a classic, and if Chauncey plays like he did tonight we will come out with a win.
Anyone saw the last play where Billups almost tipped it in for the Cavs?The Pistons just executed better in the 4th quarter,it was a 2 point game so I expect the Cavaliers to take game 7 in Detroit.
Dont count on it.. Reasons why Pistons have advantage in Game 7.1. They have momentum, off a Game 6 road win.2. There @ home.. and when your in the Palace in a Game 7.. well lets just say theres bound to be some rocking seats.3. The Cavs havent been in this type of situation, facing elimination on the road in the best team in the NBA's house.. thats where it really hurts them along with a Rookie Head Coach.I believe Pistons will win Game 7.
Home or not,the Cavs and Pistons have been playing at an equal level all series.The Cavs should come stronger after that loss,not weaker.The Cavs haven't been in any situations considering they haven't made the playoffs in a long time so everything is new to them,LeBron will have another great game while leading the Cavs to the ECF.
