The majority of the internet - nay, the world - are picking the Detroit Lasers to defeat the Cleveland Retarded Cameleons in the Eastern Conference Finals.

The Cavs have learned alot the past couple of postseasons, and thier 58 wins so far this season cannot be ignored. Their 15-5 record over the past 20 games is even-steven with the Pistons and I think this series is alot more evenly matched than alot of people think. The Pistons know it, based on how much talking they are doing. They are already trying to take advantage of the one glaring weakness the Cavs seem to have, mental toughness. The Pistons are trying to get in the Cavs’ heads. How the Cavs handle the barrage off the court will go a long way towards how they respond on it, and I think the Cavs are in a good position to shock the world.

This guy is obviously on drugs. He's adding the regular season and playoff wins together to come up with an uber record for the Cavs.

A Note to Cavaliers Fans:

For the most part, I appreciated almost all of the opposing viewpoints visiting Bulls fans brought to this little corner of the internet. Hearing a rival fan speak up may raise the ire of some Pistons fans who frequent the site, but as long as people are voicing semi-intelligent opinions in a halfway polite manner, I’m all for it. Seriously, what’s the point of sports without rivalries and banter?

Unfortunately, it’s my experience that the Cavs feature some of the absolute worst fans ever to stumble their way online. The worst offenders are rude and ignorant, and perhaps most annoyingly, seem to think that WRITING IN ALL-CAPS with a 7:1 ratio of exclamation marks to periods makes their inane ramblings about LeBron James more convincing!!!!!!!

You gotta love Natalie's sense of humour. But really, an entire blog post devoted to one of the least talented players in the NBA? We need more posts mocking LBJ's greed and narcissim IMO.

You need to prepare your living room. Move the valuable glass stuff, put the remote on a short leash so it can't hit the screen, send the dogs and cats out of the room. If you're a Cavs fan, the Pistons are going to make you yell and steam about your team. Take it like an educated fan.
Let's all be honest here, the Pistons are better than the Cavs. They are more experienced than the Cavs. They are tougher than the Cavs. They should win the Eastern Conference Finals. That doesn't mean they will, but you can bet they will spend a lot of time making the Cavs look like a flawed contender. It's OK, they are a flawed contender. But don't make the mistake of thinking this is meaningless.

This is not a blog, but another of those "LBJ - MJ" comparisons:

Certain teams give the Cavs a nightmare matchup wise--the Heat and the Suns are primary examples. The Pistons are not one of those teams. We give them a headache matchup wise.

Quote:

Pavlovic is athletic enough to stay with Hamilton. I take my hat off to the great job Pavlovic did on Vince Carter. Pavlovic's tougher than I thought. When he got knocked down against the Nets, he got up and did not back down. Pavlovic's the reason why the Cavs won against the Nets.

What are these guys thinking? Just because Pavlovic was able to stay with Wince Quitter he'd be able to chase down Rip? This is strange, indeed.

Quote:

I only have James over Prince by a hair. Prince is underrated. James has the edge but he will have to earn it. James has to get past the Pistons like Michael Jordan got past the Pistons. Will this be a learning session for James or will he step up. If James can step up and beat Prince, James will beat the Pistons.

Ok, so if LBJ outplays Tay, Cavs win the series. Yeah...OK... I'm just going to have to ask you to come back the next year, thank you.

Quote:

If the Pistons are losing, the bench can come in and get the lead. If the team's winning, the bench can maintain the lead. If it's even they can come in and decide the game. That's how good the Pistons' bench is. Cleveland's bench is a crap shoot, you never know what you're getting.

Now, this is interesting, I would've never thought our bench ranked this high.

Quote:

There's question marks with both coaches. The edge will go to the coach, at the end of the series, when you judge on who made the proper adjustments during the course of the series.

Hm....

Quote:

This is a different Cavs team from last year. The Cavs are coming into this series with plenty of confidence. Cleveland has a chance because of James and James is starting to believe.

No comment...

PlainDealer's predictions:

Quote:

MARY SCHMITT BOYER
Detroit in six
Older, wiser Pistons are more desperate to win than up-and-coming Cavs.
BILL LIVINGSTON
Cavs in six
Based on a hunch that this time the big rebound goes the Cavs' way.
BUD SHAW
Pistons in seven
Cavs' defense keeps them in it for the long run.
JODIE VALADE
Detroit in six
The Cavs need more depth and experience to overcome their nemesis.
BRANSON WRIGHT
Cavaliers in seven
To be the man, you have to beat the man.

There actually are people that think that Cavs can beat Pistons at the Palace in the game 7.

It seems like everyone feels obligated to go with the 6 or 7 game predictions.

Cavs in 4 baby!

Man does that sound stupid.

By the way, the RealCavsFans forum is extremely classy. They have a Game 1 where they posted all the players' pics and names. Of course, Sheed's new name is A-Hole:
