Who said they were a one hit wonder? I said most everyone is banking on them winning it all. I know how they have done in the las few seasons, but thanks for clearing up stuff I already knew.//content.invisioncic.com/y282845/emoticons/tongue.gif.6130eb82179565f6db8d26d6001dcd24.gif
Also, just cause they have won all that dont automatically mean they are going to win it all. A team that is playing better at the time just could take it to them really good, rather its Cleveland or someone else. Nothing is written in stone. If that was the case, I would take my life savings(which isnt much) and bet it all on them. So would everyone else.

Then again all them hardcore gambalers probably are banking on them to win, cause they play the numbers. I would lol for days at them if Detriot dont make it.

my point is detroit has proven they can win in the playoffs, and one win against washington doesn't qualify that for cleveland. as you may recall, detroit handed cleveland some pretty bad loses and lebron doesn't do so well against detroit

There is a lot more a stake then a regular game. I mean the anti has been raised a lot and Lebron knows that and is out to prove a point. He wants to win the MVP and he wants to win and win for his team and prove he can put Cleveland on the map. He isnt just gonna sit back in the playoffs and get pwned. I think Cleveland will make a good run at. I also again, never said that beating Washington justifys them doing well in the playoffs. I am just happy they are in it and so far looking good.

michael jordan struggled to defeat the pistons and lebron will do the same. lebron's day is coming, just not now //content.invisioncic.com/y282845/emoticons/smile.gif.1ebc41e1811405b213edfc4622c41e27.gif

Well I guess we are going to see now, now arent we.//content.invisioncic.com/y282845/emoticons/naughty.gif.94359f346c0f1259df8038d60b41863e.gif

Good luck as I am sure we will need it. I do however feel that us beating a very good Washington Wizards team has boosted Clevelands self esteem up. They now know they can up there game. I mean Cleveland got ownt in the regular season against Washington so it will be interesting to see how this one pans out. I at least hope they make it interesting. //content.invisioncic.com/y282845/emoticons/wink.gif.608e3ea05f1a9f98611af0861652f8fb.gif

pistons in 5 or maybe 6. washington is not as good as you think. pistons are too deep and too good for this team

Actually a lot of the sports anaylists said Washington was one of the better teams in the playoffs and were surprised Cleveland took it in 6. //content.invisioncic.com/y282845/emoticons/crap.gif.7f4dd41e3e9b23fbd170a1ee6f65cecc.gif I mean they had 2 guys on there averaging 20 ppg and one guy that was at 18 ppg. Caron Butler, Antwaan Jaminson, and eventually a MVP canadiate in Gilbert Arenas. Those are some Talented MOFO's! Then they have a good bench as well in Daniels,Hayes(when he isnt hurt). Then Jefferies adds good numbers as well. So I dont know how they werent that good.

I agree with you I think it will go 5 or 6 though, just want it to be Cleveland.//content.invisioncic.com/y282845/emoticons/smile.gif.1ebc41e1811405b213edfc4622c41e27.gif

washington was 42-40 and who of those players can play defense like the pistons?

42-40 is actually a good record. They were seeded number 5 out of 8, so they didnt do that bad. I remember teams that use to make the playoffs with records 10 games under .500. So........

Also Jarred Jefferies and Gilbert Arenas are excellent defenders. Jefferies is one of the better ones in the league. That is about the only thing he is known for. Kinda how certain NBA players get certain titles like Bruce Bowen of the SA spurs. People love that guy yet he dont score a lot or rbd high, but plays excellent defense. That is what Jefferies was known as.

42-40 is not good. they wouldn't have made the playoffs in the west. also it happened once a couple years ago where boston made it, but they weren't 10 games under

 

[bigbangtheory 5,000+ posts]

If you go back like 10 years ago there were many teams that were under 500 making the playoffs and some of them were at 10 games under. It was when the Bulls and Rockets were running the show.

How can you say 42-40 isnt that good?

They had the 5th best record in the eastern Conference. Your right about they wouldnt have made it in the Western Conference, but that dont matter cause they arent over there. A lot of teams wouldnt have made the playoffs then, lol! Bucks, bulls,wizards,pacers.

Mavericks and Pistons are taking the finals this year. I'm with the Mavericks since Chicago got owned.

10 years ago the 8th seed in the east was miami with a 42-40 record. sacremento made it in the west with a 39-43 record.

since 96 only twice, has a team 10 games under 500 made the playoffs

THANK YOU!

i STILL dont understand why dallas doesnt get any credit. in the recent espn the magazine, they had an article on why teams will fail in the playoffs. basically talked about EVERY team in the playoffs, except dallas. YET, no one even picked them to go to even the WCF.

dallas (4) sweeps memphis (5)

san antonio (1) takes their series to 6 games against sacremento (8)

nowitzki/howard/terry/stackhouse/daniels/harris will rip duncan/ginobli/parker a new one.

dallas is a team that scores in spurts. they will not be able to do that to the spurs and since they will fail badly against san antonio they wont even have a shot at playin the pistons will would also own them. jump shooting teams are proven to fail against great defensive teams like the pistons and spurs. where has bein a jump shootin team got phoenix....... game 7 with the lakers who arent all that good. how about them supersonics theyre great shooters but they cant even make the playoffs because a great defense will always shutdown shooters.
