Probably Snow. It doesn`t matter because Billups seems to be having trouble irregardless of which Cav is guarding him.

I thought about him.

I wonder if Brown has enough confidence in the rookie to start him.

Don't give him uncontested 3's and he can't/won't hurt you.

From MLive:

Jim O' Brien, former coach of the Philadelphia 76ers has a unique theory about why the Pistons perimeter stars are struggling on offense against the Cavs. This is an ESPN Insider blog, so I'm only going to quote one paragraph and sum the rest.
May 28, ESPN.com: I reported in my blog some time back that Chris Webber made what I consider one of the most startling comments I have ever heard. Shortly after we traded for him when I coached Philadelphia I was discussing our playbook with him. One play had Kyle Korver coming from under the basket and our power forward (Webber) screening for him on the box and posting up for a low-post opportunity. Webber looked at me and very politely said, "Coach, I don't do the low-post thing anymore." His point was that at that stage of his career he was best utilized at the elbow with the ball in his hands. If everyone moved when he had the ball he would hit cutters if they were open for a layup or an open jumper.
O' Brien goes on to say that Flip Saunders knows Webber still has skills down in the low post despite his resistance to play down low in the recent past, so he's trying to force him to play there with mixed results. The problem is this eliminates post up opportunities for Detroit's talented perimeter players because Webber is clogging up the lane. It always hinders Webber's most important skill, ball movement, because that skill is maximized on the elbow, where Webber is most comfortable.
If you have ESPN Insider I high recommend reading the entire blog entry. I'm not making the decision that O'Brien is right, but it's excellent analysis from a former head coach, especially considering he coached Webber for a short time in Philly.

You would think the guy would look at Flip and politely say:

"Coach, I will do whatever you ask including running through a forest fire wearing gasoline soaked drawers if thats what it takes to get a championship ring."

i'll take the blame for the Game 3 loss. i was in florida instead of michigan watching the game, and that obviously had a negative effect on the team.

I'm not sure if the NBA wants a depleted Cleveland team to get slaughtered in the Finals by Tim Duncan.

Therefore, I don't think there will be any unexplained forces holding us back tonight.

Oh man, I was in Florida on May 15th when they lost to the Bulls. Quick, everyone out of Florida.
