Sure, we have been watching it for three years. But why let it come down to the final possession so often? This team allows it to happen time and time again and yeah, they win in the clutch a lot. I just don't think they can do this in the Finals and get away with it. To me, beating Cleveland is a foregone conclusion. I'm already thinking about the Finals for Detroit. I'm not down with the moral victory of simply "getting there" and neither is Sheed, based on what he says. This team talks about "getting rings" all the time (notice how none of the Spurs' players do that; they just go about their business) and how bad they want "the ring" for McDyess and Weber, but then they take a whole half off in Game 2 of the ECF. Boggles my mind. I get all worked up in lather about this crap every season (and I'm grateful to root for a team that allows me to do this because they go deep so often in the postseason), but I just think this team is better than what it shows. I dunno. Maybe I'm completely wrong. I guess the proof is in the results. Two three-point wins. Maybe Cleveland is better than I think. Either way, I'm probably taking it too seriously.

Re: ECF Game 2 Cleveland May 24 8PM

We're in their heads more than they are in ours.

I loved seeing Lebron lose it with the refs and have a heated exchange (no tech for King Sweetheart) and then in the postgame presser try to play it down.

And Mike Brown jumping and flopping all over the sideline was great too. What a dolt taking a tech in a one possession game.

We're so in their heads now. Gotta steal Game 3 and make them truly miserable...

I can't explain it, I just like that we come up on the right end more often than not.

We actually won the first Q. In fact, I think when it was all said and done, we won 3 quarters of the game.

You see, for me there are moral victories. Without soft play early, Max would have never been able to steal LBJ's spotlight for a few minutes. Without it being a close game, we would never have witnessed Sheed's clutch performance.

We're 6 wins away from a title. It's all gravy for me.

16 points 1st Q
13 points 3rd Q
13 points 4th Q

for the Cavs, beyond pathetic.

McCosky says here that Dice got his nose broken last night. Anybody heard about this?

"Rasheed Wallace had two fouls in the first 3 1/2 minutes and Antonio McDyess left the game with a broken nose."

Billups credits defense

I wonder if he will still play. Maybe Arnie is making him a mask right now.
