ah rematch of last year conference semi final.pistons won 4-3.
-
Nettsss losss ??? ,oh u predicting ....they lossss ent hahahahha VC is pus hole no title with that softman jedd ..yeahhhhhhhhhh hahahh :wavetowel:
-
Yes, the Nets lost. Game 1 of this series is tonight at Auburn Hills. I think the Pistons win it in 6 games.
-
detroit take game one 79-76.king james had ah poor poor game.
-
Last night's game is the reason I stop watching pre and post-game shows and ESPN in general.
There are waaaay too many people on tv willing to talk s*** about a game.
So...
Dying seconds of the game, Cavs down 2, Lebron gets the ball drives to the lane, gets triple-teamed, and kicks it out to a Wide-open Donyll Marshall, for the game-winning 3 pointer. Which of course Donyell misses. Now, Donyell has been put on the floor in the last seconds by the coach to shoot the wide-open game-winning 3 pointer should he have the opportunity.
Sports pundit verdict? Lebron is a loser, he should have taken the shot himself. Argument - jordan would have taken the shot.
So... because the best player in the history of the game would have taken the shot. Lebron should have taken a low-percentage shot over 3 players instead of kicking it to the wide-open player who hit six! 3 pointers in the previous game.
Of course, I recall Jordan kicking the ball out to a wide-open Paxon or Steve Kerr a few times in the playoffs.
At least Charles Barkley is funny.
-
First of all, the sports pundits always act like they know what would/should happen when it didn't so Bitter dont be surprised by their reactions. It simple..if marshall had scored then lebron would have done the right thing..if he had taken the shot and scored, then lebron would have done the right thing...the bottom line is..his team did not win so he did the wrong thing, that is how it goes.
However, I feel ppl are on lebron's case because quite a few times in the past he has opted to pass and not take the final shot resulting in losses, not taking enough sgots in the 4th quarter when the game is on the line...then again nuff times he took over the game and made shots to lead his team to victory...the bottom line is..his team did not win so he did the wrong thing.
-
Is a good thing is a team sport.
One of the major problems with the NBA is the marketing that have man feeling that one player is all you need to dominate.
The Spurs might be boring to some, but they doh need Timmah to score 50 points to win, and he is still a great player.
I just find the nonstop progression of men on tv talking s*** should stop. If ah man flashy, they vex he doh honor the spirit of the game, if he not flashy enough, they find he too boring. I was just getting vex yesterday after listening to tht stupidness on the radio all day.

detroit take two game lead 79-76
-
This game was funny...the same outcome...the only difference is lebron did what the "experts" said he should have done in game 1..take the shot...."King" James should not be blaming the ref..take responsibility..as a matter of fact he should blame his fellow starters..Hughes, Gooden and Ilgauskas for scoring zero points in the second half..doh blame de ref..
Lebron supporting cast is not as good as those of the top players/teams but they still need to produce..lebron cant win a championship on his own...Jordan proved that.
Regarding the ref..Lebron is not on that level as yet to get that call...players such as Jordan, Magic, Bird, Isiah, etc. would have gotten the call but "King" James has not won any championships to get that call on the road against a championship team...was it a foul?..yeah but that is the thing with refs in the NBA...some calls are based on the venue of the game and the players involved...I have see Jordan get away with a few travels in the playoffs.
-
This game was funny...the same outcome...
I still cyah get over dat....HOW friggin BIZARRE is that?
I sure dat NEVER happen before...and probably wont again
-
cleveland take game three 88-82.detroit lead 2-1.king james play like he suppose to and eh chicken out from takin shots.
-
The fact that you have to have respect from the refs to get a foul call is BS of the highest order.
what is the point of having a ref, if you know, that Jordan can push off and make a shot and no whistle, but if you breathe on him too hard, you get the foul called on you.
Then again, Basketball is the only sport I know where you can jump into a man and then they call the foul on him.
At least the cavs making the eastern conf finals a lil interesting.

A truer story has never been told. I've never understood how Jordan can get a foul and for a similar play a player of lesser status gets nothing. A foul is clearly defined in the rules, as is travelling, double dribble, etc. Yet when it comes to imposing bans for stepping onto the court the rule is clear and there is no compromise or consideration in applying it.
-
de cavs win game four 91-87.so is best ah three now.
-
king james had ah big big BIG nite.scoring cavs last 25 points in de 109-107 victory.cavs lead 3-2.game 6 sat in cleveland.
-
I don't know whether to praise Lebron or castigate the pistons.
The man take all the shots in the 4th and OT when he come in and yuh still letting him run?
Still though, that was a hell of a performance by Lebron. Everytime I say, nah, he cyah make a next shot...
The sad part is, either team going to get beatdown by Timmah and the Spurs.
-
I feel obligated to comment on that game. But what can I really say at this time?
25 straight points (including OT) to end a game? I wonder what the criticism will be next time the Cavs lose a game. they'll probably say he's a ball hog.
-

is a good thing most sports don't get played on paper. I eh saying the Spurs ent going to win, but how much times people go have to make statements like that before they learn?
just in the recent past alone:
Florida supposedly had no chance against Ohio State in the 2007 BCS championship.
Texas had no chance against USC in the 2006 BCS championship/Rose Bowl.
It didn't matter who win the NL, the Tigers was going to beat them in the 2006 World Series.
I am not the biggest hockey fan, but I remember a talk that the Sabres was going to win the Stanley Cup this year.
Or what about the time that the Pistons had no chance against the Lakers a few years back.
-
I have to support my Thomian brothas.
So I backing Timmah to win it all. And I think that the spurs match up better with either team.
Plus, the Cavs barely beat the wizards, and since Agent zero and Butler was injured, I cyah give them no props. ;D
I predict a beatdown by Timmah and the spurs. 4-1. Spurs losing game 1 b/c they rusty
-
yep de cavs and pistons fightin ah losin battle,none of them could beat spurs.but like i said since at de start ah de regular season,ah team from de west was winnin.
-
The same thing was said about Miami last year,the pundits did not give them a chance against Dallas but D-Wade stole the show.
During the regular season Cavaliers have a 2-0 record against the Spurs and it will be interesting to see the outcome in a 7 game series. I don't think it will be as lopsided as everyone thinks and after last nights performance by King James, I believe the Cavaliers have a chance to pull it out.
-
my early prediction at the start of the playoff was spurs defeating the pistons but the way lebron playing these days especially last night, it appears as though it will be a spurs/cavs final and as someone said DWade took over last year and won, and Lebron is capable of doing the same, it should be a good final if it happens...i still pick the Spurs to win.
-
game 6 will b ah war.

king james playing some good ball for a 22 year old, i woulda love 2 see him in the old nba, rather than this glorified ncaa it has turned into... >:(

wuh shit yuh talkin old nba,wuh is that.the game progressin.

i went in my bed after regulation time b/c i had a feeling if i had watched the rest i would have gone to bed fuming..get up today to hear james drop 48...tayshaun try his best but u need another strong guy to defend lebron, he is a beast. i feel detroit will win in cleveland, i feel cavs will come out timid. any word on mcdyess?
even if cavs do win they have to beat about 8 or 9 spurs b/c that team is deep and play like robots...no fear. dry so they will pull up and sink threes.

In addition to being a football and cricket expert, TI is also a "real baller"
He want to go back to man-on-man defending, where the whole game is a series of one-on-one plays.

fuh ah second ah thought yuh said real buller,but ah read again.
-
detroit looking clueless in crunch time in the past 3 games and i expect cavs to win game 6 unless they have ah flashback to last tear and choke...detroit needs to stop lebron and force the other cowards on the cavs to shoot.
-
cavs have pistons reelin with 2 min to go
-
CLEVELANDDDDDDDDDDDDDDDDDDDDDDDDDDDDD
The heir apparent has arrived
-
cavs win de conference final 4-2 with de 98-82 victory.pistons gone tru.
-
Congratulations to them. That's what happens when you play as a team. Ah wonder if Wince was watching. He could pick up a few tips.
-
I real surprised
I was expectin them to give detroit a run to 7 games and then lose
I never thought I woulda see a methodical team like the pistons self destruct so easy....da youthman gibson gih dem fits
Rasheed wallace need some real anager management therapy oui...he too big and old to be still getting kicked off de court

I agree with yuh rasheed comment..the older he get the more dotish he act...the surprising thing is this basically the same team minus ben wallace and they cant win the East, i starting to wonder if the players were right about Flip Saunders.
-
I not so sure about FLip.
But I do think that Larry Brown is very underrated. if he can stick around long enough, he'll have even a bad team playing well. Is a matter of whether he and the team can last long enough together to make it happen.
-
If the teams start to fine him nuff money everytime he get put out he go stop the nonesense
-
de pistons will be doin some reshufflin this summer after losin de conference finals 2 years in ah row.if webber want ah ring he should move on.

man to man exposes players weaknesses, you couldnt make it as a marquee player if you couldnt play decent enough defense, the defenders were better, not its watered down, i dont expect allyuh fellahs to understand that, isolation was the beauty of the nba, bullahofallbullahs talking shit...
God is de BOSS....
so man on man jordan woulda be 10 times better,so when yuh double team that wouldnt make de player or way de game is more intense yuh dumb south american ass.yuh know evryting yuh jackass of all trades master of none.

sticking to the topic, lebron is a boss for his age, better than jordan and kobe at their time, the only ting holding him back is his outside jumper, which he is working on constantly, the summer that just past, him and DUA was working out and playing 2gether, along with carmello, but carmello does use his size, in comparison james is more naturally skillful.. i could see james playing the isolation role in a half court setting like what jordan played, but james hasnt reach the level to bring the ball up the floor and and pull up at will, when he develops that dimension of his game, he will be virtually unstoppable, i could imagine without zone in the nba what he would be doing, simply because most of the zone defences in the current nba is the complex triangle zone, which was disguised in the old nba very well...
God is de BOSS....
God is de BOSS...
yuh does start talkin ah lil sense then yuh end with ah pack ah shit.yuh see de last two games when lebron was takin de ball up court and then piercin de defense fuh unstoppable dunks.yes he is stronger in de paint but he consistant from de perimetre too.
