Do you remember this quote??


Thats what happens when you talk shit before the series is over.//content.invisioncic.com/y282845/emoticons/wink.gif.608e3ea05f1a9f98611af0861652f8fb.gif

Personally I don't see the Mavs winning game 7 in San Antonio but you never know. That would be VERY embarassing to lose a series after being up 3 games to 1.

And for all you HEAT fans out there thinking you're going to have the advantage of resting: That much rest doesn't always benefit a team. Sometimes too much rest can take away the edge.//content.invisioncic.com/y282845/emoticons/smile.gif.1ebc41e1811405b213edfc4622c41e27.gif

i don't see the rest playing a major factor for detroit. game 7 is in detroit, and if they win game 1 will be in detroit so you get to stay home and don't have to travel to other cities, plus it's not like you are playing back to back games

I am a fan of BB, and I love his game play. It wouldnt matter if he was on the cavs or another team, which in the future he just may with his contract coming up. But I have been watching him all year and get every cavs game on my eazy pass from my cable company. So I get to see anygame I want to really. I have to say for him being a huge star and always getting compared to MJ. The one thing is he does get a lot of fouls called on him. Was more so during the regular season. I do agree he wasnt fouled last night and I guess Ben Wallace caught wind of it and went off on an interviewer last night. Go figure someone from Detriot getting pissed.

lebron is a superstar and gets superstar calls. no one on detroit is superstar status. the only player who may get superstar calls is ben wallace, but only on the defensive side. he may get away with more calls when he is on defense because he is a defensive superstar. just the way the league works. i would think ben wallace would've wanted to foul lebron with 1 second left instead of letting cleveland take a 3. what reporter did you hear this from?

I definitely noticed this more then ever in this game because now that you've mentioned it I payed extremely close attention...and he indeed does some very questionable calls....

All in all...this was one of the best series I have seen in a long time...not quite your story book ending for the Cavs...but they have suprised their fans...sports analysists....and people around the country with how well they have played with one of the best teams in the League...Lebron James is my single favorite player in the NBA that isn't on the Pistons...he is truly remarkable...any player that does what he can do is awesome but when you take into consideration the maturity and skill level at such a young age I truly believe he has a few Championships in his near future...I am glad the series is over though because I almost had a couple of heart attacks lmao....but anyways...the Pistons defense in the second half was just amazing....experience and chemsitry and defense pulled it out in the end...this was some play-off Basketball at it's best.....

Well it is all over. Congrulations to the Pistons for beating the cavs. I knew they wouldnt have a chance in hell heading back to the palace. I wanted them to win so bad and really knew there only chance was in game 6 at home and we were just a 3 point away from ending Detriots winning season. Oh well, such is life. I do feel since we did so well against one of the best teams in the league that we will be there in a year or two. I really feel like we need a good point guard though. Eric Snow and Damon Jones just are not cutting it. So if we get someone with some talent at that pos. then I have a good feeling for the years to come as long as they keep the talent they have now.

So all I have now is to pull for either the Suns or the Clippers. The suns are my 2nd favorite team so I will be pulling for them but I also like the clippers since they are the underdogs of the whole playoffs now. I do know if it is SA or Dallas vs either Miami or Detriot, I wont even waste my time watching the Finals. Hopefully my Indians pick it up so I can at least watch some baseball and have something to root for in the summer.

I have been arguing Cleveland's point guard status the whole series...Snow made a couple clutch shots but if Cleveland had a point guard that can take control of the game whenever he needed to and was a team player...like Billups...Hamilton...Parker...Ginobli...etc..then I honestly think their troubles would be over...one man can only go so far...Granted "Z"....Marshall and a couple others had some nice games if they struggle there is nobody else to rely on except lebron...like with the Pistons if one person struggles anyone on the team almost can pick up the slack...not all the time...but more consistently then most other teams...which is why I think if they get past Miami...it is a done deal...they'll beat any team in the west in 6....in my opinion...

Miami is a world of pain now. I say Detriot in 6. Then the suns will take on the Spurs, since they are heading back to san antonio. The the suns will beat the Spurs in 6 as well and it will be Detriot vs Suns and Suns in a close Final, all the way to 7.

Least that is how I would like it to go down now.

I like Steve Nash and Brock Marion............hell now I even like the guy that threw Kobe's bitch *** to the floor.

But I don't see them as championship worthy yet. When they have Stoudamire back in full health and the guy who punked Kobey matures they may indeed be ready to win one but until then I just don't see them having the depth.

My very early prediction still stands.....Detroit over Dallas in the finals.

LOL at Brock Marion. You must still be in football season. The player you are referring to is or was a Saftey in football. I think he was playing with the Dolphins last time. Anyway the guy that plays basketball is Shawn Marion and yes he is pretty dam good along with Nash. They also have a shit ton of talent besides them two in Boris Diaw, Raja Bell and Tim Thomas. They are doing all this with out one of there main guy in Amare Stoudamire. So I give them all the credit in the world for going this far with out him. I personally think they do have what it takes to win it. They are young, talented and hungry. Now with Steve Nash winning the MVP for second year in a row they want to add a team crowning moment. I have called it from the start that I wanted to see Cleveland and Phoenix in the Finals. So hopefully they make it. If not I am happy, but to be honest would be more dissappointed in the suns if they didnt make it more so then Cleveland just cause of all the talent on Phoenix. I say besides Detriots starting 5 being the best in the game I think Phoenix is a close 2nd. So would be cool to see that Championship occur. We will see, still some games left to be played.

hehehe he did that with my Steelers

once his team doesnt win, he goes against the team who defeated him

but you should feel good about the Pistons Ice, whenever BigBang goes against a team, they always manage to win //content.invisioncic.com/y282845/emoticons/wink.gif.608e3ea05f1a9f98611af0861652f8fb.gif
