How great is this team playing? People were expecting a sweep in this series and they are forcing a game 7. The thing that impressed me the most is they have been playing without Larry Hughes. If they had Hughes last night Cleveland would have eliminated Detroit from the playoffs. They only lost by 2 points without him.
I think we all are. Some people didn't think they would make it past the Wizards. Which they did in a very nice fashion. Now they are on the verge of knocking off the team with the best record in the league and most hyped about winning another ring.I am now starting a Fan Club on Lebron. Check the sig for it.

Now Hughes has not shot well in these playoffs, but he has been going to the free throw line and getting points. He also is a better defender with a height and length advantage over Flip. Have both of them been shooting well? No, but would our chances have been better with Hughes in the starting lineup instead of Flip? Obviously yes. But even though we pushed this to 7 games, everyone in Cleveland is acting like, wow we actually got to 7 against Detroit, we thought we would get swept. Even if we lose on Sunday I will still be happy because we did what no one expected us to do. I don't feel the same way at all. In my mind we can and will beat the Pistons tomorrow, and if we don't I will be very dissapointed, because we have outplayed them for most of this series, and it would be a shame if they won tomorrow. We outplayed them for 3 games and 47 minutes up until that last minute last night where we couldn't secure a rebound. :Swoon:
I agree with you, it's amazing they've gotten to the 7th game. I'll be rooting for them against Detroit.
Cavs end their run at game 7. The Pistons are just too mind set on taking them down, they had their chance when it was 3-1 and htey blew it.It's over, unless the ref's start calling idiot calls like they've done for the cavs countless times before.
I've been impressed by two things:A) LeBron's ability to affect the game without scoring on a consistent basisB) The chemistry. These guys look like they are having fun.

Credit that to Lebron James. He has been playing so well, getting to the line, scoring points, getting rebounds and keeping his teammates involved. He is the one who is running that team. Give all credit to LBJ. Everyone else is just an 8 ppg guy.
