    <div class="quote_poster">Detroit Madness Wrote</div><div class="quote_post">Well this is are first real test of the playoffs. Our backs are against the wall we've been in this situation before. I'm not nervous, I haven't started talking about Cleveland vs San Antonio matchups. I believe were the toughest team to eliminate. I'm waiting for all the bandwagons to be dissing LeBron after we steal game six. We need Sheed to make a guarantee. Anything that can get this squad fired up. We play best with our backs against the wall is not a overstatement. If LeBron has to score 30 points for them to win by two I will live with that. But it don't matter how you win so go ahead and celebrate the victory Cavs fans, you deserve it.</div>

    Guys, don't mean to be pompous here, but I really believe Detroit lost their winning edge since losing to Miami last year and they're going to lose game 6 tonight. Cleveland is not going to let this opportunity get away this time with homecourt advantage. Plus, I believe Cleveland's learned their lesson since last year when they were in the exact same situation.

    I really cannot stand the Pistons, they are cocky beyond belief and I hope they lose this game, which is tied heading into halftime.

    That being said, they have been an unbelievable team over the past 5 years and I see them coming back again next year to contend (if Billups comes back).

    Co-sign. He has no control over this team and failed to deliver again in crunch time with the right game management.

    Best Finals since Lakers-Pacers.......

    Can't believe that Chauncey had his worst post-season series ever....

    What sucks is his free agent stock probably took a SLIGHT fall.

    Anyways, get ready for the illest Finals since Lakers-Pacers in 2000

    I hope so, but that's high expectations for these two teams to match. If Cleveland had someone who could handle Duncan, or a consistent offensive player, then it would be a better matchup. I just don't see Cleveland having enough to compete against this Spurs team.

    Nah I agree with Madness, all bias aside, that was an extremely close series, it went down to the final 5 or so minutes of game 7 to be decided. It was anybodys series right until the very end.
