I know!

I wish I could watch the game!! I have band practice. ><

Not that it's an unworthy tradeoff, I do love jammin'.

I'll have to catch what I can on NBA radio on Sirius on the way home and keep up with the scores on my phone.

Go Cav's! LeBron is a man on a mission!

Be careful what you wish for Jeff. IIRC, the Cavs swept the Spurs during the regular season Sure, that doesn't mean jack now, but I will be rooting for LeBron for sure!



EDIT: Hey, Mike, thanks for the rep thingy, I just now noticed it.

[heavyjeffd]

HOLY SHIT!!

I missed the game but listened to the recap on the way home from practice. I will be downloading this one from Usenet to watch for SURE!!

An epic performance from LeBron for sure, this one will go down in the record books!

Honestly, although I'm a Spurs fan I'd still be happy to see LeBron win a championship. The way he is playing right now, he deserves it!

Good deal, Jeff... but it is still a touch early to say anything, dude. Last year this very same Cavs were also leading 3-2 in the second round before getting beat by the same Pistons in game 6 & 7. Either way, I am rooting for LeBron.

Slightly off topic, earlier a buddy of mine and I were talking about this game, and he suggested LeBron is the "next" D-Wade. Then I went: "No, dude, he is the FIRST LeBron." Yeah, he is such a unique player, you just have to love him.

They are already comparing him to MJ, which while it's a little premature, isn't really accurate. The styles or so different.

The CRAZY thing is, he's only 22! He's gonna be around for a LOOONG time! :o

Ya know though, regardless of who wins (if it is the Cav's/Spurs) you have to admit, that will be one HELL of a series!

All the people saying it will be boring and aren't going to watch it will really be missing out.

[GH0STrider]

pistons vs. spurs is boring.

cavs vs. spurs? That would be fun to watch. Especially with lebron in the mix. Hopefully the cavs can close it out this time. This is exactly how it went down last year too... before they blew it.

[Azyiu]

If it is indeed the Cavs vs. the Spurs, I think the advantage goes to the Spurs.

The Spurs are just much more poise and experienced than the entire Cavs team, especially up front. Also, Pop is a much better coach than Mike Brown ever will be. I believe the Spurs should kill the Cavs on rebounding by a wide margin too.

Also, with Larry Hughes being hurt, the Cavs could be short handed. Damon Jones could be a key off the bench for them, but he is too streaky to be rely on... and am not even sure if he will get minutes anyway, so we will see.

Those who STILL compare LeBron to MJ need to get a life, man. That said, why don't they compared Robert Horry with MJ, hell, they BOTH have SIX rings!

[heavyjeffd]

True that man hehe.

I dunno, I'd enjoy Pistons vs. Spurs too.

I like really tight defensive basketball. It's a lot more of a team effort, takes a lot more strategy. I guess I just find it a lot more interesting than one guy running around scoring most everything.

A lot of that probably comes from me liking Hockey a lot too which is largely a defensive sport as well.

*shrug*

Honestly though, I don't think the Cav's or Pistons can beat the Spurs in a best of seven right now. I'm pretty sure they'd have an advantage over either team, but I'd still rather see LeBron go to the championships, at least he'd GET there which is still a massive achievement at his age and for his time in the NBA.

I hope that the Cavs can close out this series and face the Spurs in the finals. I have been a fan of LeBron since he got into the league, and last night just simply amazing. If it winds up being a Pistons vs Spurs finals, I won't be tuning in.
