I've been saying that LeBron is not that good of a player and I was right from what I read today about his only second mistake that cost them a crucial game. Instead of shooting or dunking it he bring it outside to an incompetant player in what would have give the team a chance to win. Oh well. LeBron will go down in history as a "One Hit Wonder". I thought the Cavs would at least win one game. I'm eating my word and say that I am wrong. Looks like the Spurs is the NBA champions this year.

Thinking more about it, that last attempted foul by Bowen that wasn't called probably could have been called continuation, which would given LeBron 3 FTs and a chance to tie the game. Of course, he probably would have missed one of them.

He shot the ball with almost 5 seconds on the clock. The Bowen thing was incidental contact and didn't affect the shot.

I'll say one thing, LeBron gets more continuation calls than DWade.

I think LeBron got into our players' heads in game five. They began to see him as unstoppable, and were afraid to foul him on any of his drives to the basket out of a fear that he would make the basket and make the ensuing free throw.

For all the people that love the low ratings

Long live LeBron!

"If anything, the NBA was due for some bad luck and worse timing. It coasted for so many years back in the 1980s and 90's with big market powerhouses and perfect soap opera storylines.
If anything, David Stern's constant tinkering with the league's competitive rules – in part to end all the conspiracy theories about big market favors (which, ironically, continue anyway) – has worked too well".

Nice to hear about the low ratings. Even Jim Rome was pleading for the Spurs to finish this off so he would not have to watch a game 5.

Something is wrong with the what the league thinks is going to be popular. They were so certain that everyone would be tuning into see Lebran.

Final draw - fans want to see a competitive series.

Well folks, hope we can finish this fiasco tonight. The AT&T center is open and sold out waiting for the sweep and start the championship celebration. I would have thought Cavs would have really pushed for a game 3 win, but they didn't even try. Now, all the hype is they are really going for 4 games starting tonight. Man, these guys are really in denial. They are in denial that they are a really bad team. It makes me so mad that they beat Pistons. The Pistons were so un-Piston like the last few games, it fooled the Cavs into thinking they were invincible. I think they got into the Pistons heads. They tried it on the Spurs, but Spurs didn't bite. These finals are about mental toughness, focus and desire to win. That comes with experience. That's what hurt about the Pistons. We should be playing them now.

Barb being a Piston loyalist I appreciate you coming in and providing your comments. The way the Spurs are playing, we may have taken it to 6 or 7 but you guys probably I hate to say would have won as we probably still would have had issues stopping both Duncan and Parkers penetration.

Hopefully TP gets the MVP tonight after the sweep is complete. I thnk he was the dominate player in this series having played great in games 1 & 2 and hitting the key three pointer in the crunch time on Tuesday. Plus when Duncan was in foul trouble sitting on the bench in that second qtr, it was Tony who led the 10-0 run to close out the qtr. If Duncan gets the MVP, then that would be the only fix I see...unless he scores 40 tonight Congrats in advance
