Why and for once what really makes you think they cant take it all? Excellent starting line up besides point guard, but Hughes has been taking over that with Sasha starting and they are pretty deep in their bench. We took you guys to 7 games last year and if it was in Cleveland we would have been playing Miami last year in the championship. We have a hell of a chance and its ok if you or the so called experts arent going to give us credit, cause that will make it all that much sweeter if we do win.

Looks like the tigers and Indians will be the ones in the Central to battle it out. Twins dont look like they can keep pace and well the Chi sox look to be really struggling as of late and well the Royals. //content.invisioncic.com/y282845/emoticons/laugh.gif.48439b2acf2cfca21620f01e7f77d1e4.gif

LOL besides PG. that is one of the most important positions. as far as starting lineups, detroit's is deeper. they have 5 players who are great shooters and can spread the floor, with 4 of them capable from 3-point line. they are better defensively, and have always been able to contain lebron. tayshaun prince is one of the best defenders in the game and can limit lebron's game. also cleveland is one of the worst free throw shooting teams in the league. in playoff games you have to be able to hit FT's. detroit's bench is good, and they can play defense. they are not just offensive substitutions.

They have been going with Larry Hughes at point guard besides Eric Snow, so we are better off as of late. Then using Sasha Pavolvic who has been surging big time. Went from like 4.2 sum pts a game to averaging over 9 at the end of the year with in a month and some change. Dude was averaging close to 15 a game at shooting guard. So we have a few as well that are a deep threat in James, Hughes, Pavolvic. Then are bench is very good on both sides of the ball. We can match up against Detriot better than Chicago. I am very surprised so far that the Bulls looked to be out run by the Pistons. They need to get their shit together, but I am glad, cause I want Cleveland to play the Pistons.
Cant argue about the free throws. They are one of the worst and James has really been struggling from there. He is to up and down.

lol cleveland matching up better against detroit then chicago. in case you didn't notice, webber and rasheed can shoot the ball. ben wallace certainly can't, and pj brown is really inefective. illgauskus will have to guard rasheed, who can play him at the 3-point line, leaving more room for webber to work on the low block. i also look for tayshaun prince to be more aggresive and get lebron to work defensively. hamilton is a great on the ball defender and can guard larry hughs. billups can out muscle eric snow and get in the paint. also cleveland will have to run to beat detroit, but detroit doesn't turn the ball over, and is very effecient offensively.
be careful what you wish for //content.invisioncic.com/y282845/emoticons/laugh.gif.48439b2acf2cfca21620f01e7f77d1e4.gif idk why you want cleveland to face detroit. cleveland has a loosing road record and would have to win at detroit, plus the pistons are a deep team, who have a proven track record of getting it done in the playoffs. also detroit is 16-6 against cleveland. yes cleveland went 7, but detroit dominated cleveland in 3 of those 4 wins. cleveland's 3 wins were close wins.

for cleveland to have a shot. they got to get out and run, but detroit doesn't give teams the oppurtunity to run, cause they turn it over fewer times then anybody in the league, plus they always move the ball, and take good shots, which enable them to get back defensively. cleveland will also have to out rebound detroit on the offensive glass. this is the only advantage cleveland has, as they are a good offensive rebounding team. chicago is very good as well and detroit has kept them off the glass. the pistons seemed focused and more detrmined this year.

Not sure if you are reading my posts or not. Snow is not starting anymore as Hughes is at point and Sasha Pavlovic at shooting guard. Sasha will do fine against Hamilton as Sasha can play defense. Hell he gave Vince Carter all kinds of trouble in game 1. So not worried about that. What are you talking about Z guarding Wallace? Did they make Wallace the Center? Cause I thought Webber was the center? Anyway, Z is one of the better defenders at center and will be able to contain either one of those. Only match up I see in your advantage is Billups over Hughes being Hughes is more a 2 guard than a point guard. But, Eric Snow who is very good at defense can match up good against Billups. So have to see how than pans out.

just because Z is a center, doesn't mean he has to guard the opposing center. i would imagine Z would guard rasheed, because rasheed doesn't have the quickness, and passing ability that webber has. the beauty about the pistons is, webber or rasheed don't need to score a single point and they will win. if the pistons contain lebron, cleveland is done. game 1 webber scores 2 points and the pistons win by 26. also Z should play rasheed because he matches up better against rasheed in the post. rasheed has such a high release on his little turn around jumper, but with Z's length, he can atleast contest the shot.
also hamilton will play hughs. hamilton is a great pressure defender, and to think sasha matches up on hamilton is laughable. hamilton will run sasha off screens all night long. cleveland will have to have good helpside in order to stop hamilton, because he'll get a lot of open looks.
also vince carter had a pretty good all around game, so idk where you got he was shut down. i'd worry more about new jersey at this point. cleveland should kill them on the boards, as new jersey really has no inside game.

Vince Carter in that game was like 7-23, so yeah he did shut him down. Only reason why he had decent amount of points was because of the fouls. When you hold vince to 15 pts on shooting, that is a good job. Sorry you cant understand something simple like that.
Also what is so laughable about Sasha? They have been raving about his style of play as of late. Had 15 pts in game one and couple of assists and was all over Carter. Then last game had 17 pts and a few rbds. He has come a long way from his previous seasons. If he can play against Carter, he can play agains Hamilton.//content.invisioncic.com/y282845/emoticons/rolleyes.gif.c1fef805e9d1464d377451cd5bc18bfb.gif
Dont know what would be killing them in the boards, but they out rebounded NJ 49 to 30 in the last game and 19 of them were offensive. //content.invisioncic.com/y282845/emoticons/laugh.gif.48439b2acf2cfca21620f01e7f77d1e4.gif
