naiwf 0 Report post Posted May 21, 2006 Lesson to be learned here? Do NOT lose Game 6 at home against a favorite, or get your ass whooped on the road in Game 7. McDyess robbed me of my margin of victory with that pointless dunk at the end. Bastard. What an awesome end to the series. I know it was my hope to see a team set a record for the fewest points in the history of Game 7's and make maybe 3 shots in the second half.

Mr. S£im Citrus 0 Report post Posted May 21, 2006 You and Pistons fans must be the only people who want to see Detroit/Miami 2.Well, I'd rather have seen New Jersey and Detroit, but I'll take Detorit/Miami over Cleveland/Miami. Completely agreed on Mason, though; he needs to be dragged into the street and shot on the six o'clock news. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

bobobrazil1984 0 Report post Posted May 21, 2006 A new record for fewest points ever in a Game 7... the last record was Game 7 against the Nets in 04 (a series that unfolded EXACTLY like this one). You know what this means: More rule changes in the offseason!!! (and by the way, the Cavs made a conscious decision to play half-court slow-down ball in the series, it was a good decision too that worked well, so the low scores are not all the pistons 'fault', of course i dont think its a bad thing at all) Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
Ripper 0 Report post Posted May 21, 2006 Man. The Non-Lebrons really stunk up the joint tonight. NO reason Cleveland should have lost this game when the Pistons were quite literally triple teaming Lebron. Thats TWO guys wide open for those of you keeping count.

MillenniumMan831 0 Report post Posted May 22, 2006 Ughhh, another playoff run by a Cleveland team coming up short in the books. I just want to see a Cleveland team (preferbly Browns or Cavs) win a championship before I die . . . and I'm 23. But hey, it's only been 42 years. And no, the Cleveland Crunch/Force of the MISL doesn't count. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
Rendclaw 0 Report post Posted May 22, 2006 I didn't even watch most of games 4 and 5 because the Pistons were not playing like they are famous for, even under the Flip Era: Defense, Defense, Defense. They were keying too much (and yes, there is such a thing as too much) on LeBron and letting the shooters destroy them on the perimeter. Game 6 was the adjustment that had to be made. Give LeBron different looks defensively and get to him immediately once he puts the ball on the floor. He may have sick amounts of talent but he is STILL 21 and will make mistakes. The problem is that by stretching this series out to seven games, LeBron's learning curve on how to win flattened out considerably. He is going to be a nightmare for the league for many years to come. Game 7 was what games 4 and 5 should have been. Screw boring, only short attention span, i-need-action-now kind of people would rather watch the Suns win a 135-132 game where its a layup/dunk drill and 3 point shooting practice and no defense is being played at all. Fuck that, give me a game where offense comes in spurts, runs are being made at key times and defense is being played by both teams, and being played well.

Guest Coffey Report post Posted May 22, 2006 I really want the Clippers and the Mavs to win. Why? Because it'd be a good change of pace. If the Spurs win, man, I might quit watching the playoffs this year. I knew Detroit was going to win but I couldn't help but feel bummed out when they actually won. Phoenix/SA, Detroit/Miami. **SIGH** Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
Guest Felonies! Report post Posted May 22, 2006 My dislike of Lebron trumps my dislike of the Pistons, so I didn't mind that much. I want the Mavericks to win it all, because if they do, maybe Mark Cuban will go "I need a new quest!" and sell off the Mavs having elevated their value multiple times over, buy the Cubs, and save us from the bean-counters at the Trib who don't care about winning. Can't spell Cuban without Cub! Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

alfdogg 0 Report post Posted May 22, 2006 I'm sure everyone has their reasons for not wanting to see the series, and I don't really have a problem with that, that's their opinion. But I get tired of reading about it every year. "I'm so tired of the Kobe/Shaq, LeBron, etc. media cocksucking!" later, when all those teams are out "Aww man, Spurs/Pistons? Boring~!" I won't complain if the Clippers and/or Mavs win, but it's the same shit here every year, and it just gets tiresome. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
