game 2 and its going to be another good one.Checklist: look for these things....LeBron to be more aggressiveZ not have the same kind of game as he did in game 1Donyell Marshall to continue missingnot as much daniel gibsonlebron to have a much better gameDyess to get hot.Sheed and C-Webb smother Clevelands bigsChauncey to shoot betterTayshaun to be more aggressiveRip to score at least 20: his scoring will rise because its needed.a close game through out the night.a Pistons win and a 2-0 lead.By letting the Pistons come back and win monday, the Cavs lost their momentum for game two and the Pistons got more by getting the close win. in any low-scoring game, you should expect the pistons to come out victorious. and they did..your thoughts and predictions...
Cavaliers need this ballgame! We need to at least tie this heading to Cleveland. I was wondering, are you gonna make the game threads for the Cavaliers' home games? I can do them if you want, but whatever. Anyway, Go Cavs!
sure, no problem.cavs had a 12 point lead at the half and with the third quarter closing in, the cavs lead is down to one w/ rip tying it up going into the fourth. cle up 3 now. jmax having a huge game. I'll keep the play-by-play coming for the fourth
4th quarter pbp cavs up 63-60.2 early piston tosgoaltend det. 65~60delfino three 65-63 vareajao: two fts 67-63Chauncey two. 67-65maxiell fts: 0-2bron j. 69-65.8:11 left in the fourth. Cavs lead 69-65official to
Why are you doing that.. the game's on TNT.Anyways, Cleveland is giving up their lead and losing their composure in the 2nd half, as usual. They did it against New Jersey, they're doing it now against Detroit.

Piston basketball was played in the second half. Jmax kept us in it for the first half. and tayshaun prince should be dpoy by next season. this guy accepts great d for near great offense. screw all of the comparisons. this guy is unlike any other sf in the league.BTW all my posts tonight-besides the first one-have come from my psp. I think there should be a "most effort on bbw" award for me or something.
I'm in the same camp as Magic and Charles on this, Mike Brown came out in the 2nd half with a terrible game plan. He went away from everything that was working and he tried to slow the game down, that was a stupid move. It was also a bad decision by LeBron to just hold the ball at the top of the key and wait to make his move. JUST GO! You never give a team like Detroit a chance to get set and anticipate, just attack.
these are the kind of wins that 5-straight trips to the ecf get you when your the pistons. lebron and the cavs have just proven that they arent ready to take it to the next level.
If that was Wade going in for that layup, the refs would have blown their whistles so hard that they would have hemorrhaged.
Vareajo got pushed, leading to an easy 2. Then LeBron got fouled about 8 times in one drive to the basket. There were some absurd calls in this game, I guess Stern wants to see a Pistons/Spurs finals..

LeBron did need to drive right when he got the ball, Detroit was setting up for him while he was waiting. They know he is gonna drive, he hasn't hit a jumper all game and it's easy to see he is gonna take it to the hole. Even though he got nailed, and got a huge no-call, Hughes and Anderson should've gotten the ball in the hoop. Hughes was a little off with his body and it looked like he was shocked the ball landed in his arms. He quickly jumped to try and make it, but missed. I just can't believe he missed that shot.<div class='quotetop'>QUOTE (Pronk48 @ May 24 2007, 11:51 PM) <{POST_SNAPBACK}></div><div class='quotemain'>If that was Wade going in for that layup, the refs would have blown their whistles so hard that they would have hemorrhaged.</div>Oh yeah, I can think of a few more plays that would've gotten that call.
