story of the Game...Labron ...who scored all of the 2-OT points and the last what seems like the last 50 for the game.
Joe needs to take a hard look at this team. Scoring droughts, no-low post scoring, PG who can't dish the ball and no SPEED!! They can't make defenses collapse around them.
The most embarrasing performance in Piston palyoff history. We were never in charge. We never imposed are will. And we just stood back ...and took it. Thats why Ive only been sadder one time... the Bird steal off Isaih.....
Wow, Lebron James has arrived. That was an insane performance. Lebron James scored every point for both OTs and half of the 4th quarter. So what do you do for the last possession of the game? You put the 6'3" Billups on the 6'8" James, play his straight up and then give him a LAYUP?!?!?!?! Um... ok.
The layup was a brain cramp by Maxiell. It's why it's scary to play young guys in crunch time. Max couldn't decide what play he should make, and half heartedly slapped Lebrons arm. If he had gone hard to contest the shot, he could have taken his chances with LBJ at the line. Shouldn't have ever gotten to that point though.
Tay wasn't doing a damn thing on that last play either. And let's not forget the two dunks they gave LeBron to let it get to OT in the first place.
I told yall that THERE WAS NO WAY Flip would win this game for us. its over.......and Im mad because we let this goof coach the alst 2 years 4 us..
Tay is charmin soft and gets caught flat footed too often. He is so passive in his offense it's irritating. Yes, he has come up big but he will never be an aggressive on court presence.
and I'll be damned if I let anyone say we made out better with Webber over BEN!!!!!!Dumars had his worst year ever. Ben may have been a year older, But give up @ dunks and a layup to James!!!??? and Kenny is right!! I would have took one for the team and broke his JAW!!!!!! It didnt hurt Rob Horry and the Spurs did it?
F*** this team. You guys have fun being positive, believing in this team, having faith, trusting their experience, giving flip the benefit of the doubt. CLE got no less than 12 pts (maybe more) during the course of this game via the Pistons parting the lane like the Red Sea and choosing to become "witnesses" when this A-hole drives the lane. I'm done with this team until it's broken up. Done.
Guys, This was really tough to watch. I am exhausted, deflated, and going to bed mad. I really don't feel good about game 6 this Saturday...Not giving up, but is Sheed the only one on the team who is PO'd? I don't want to hear anymore canned responses from Chauncy about how they aren't worried or I am not scared and I been there and done that...
Right now I can't post a single solitary thought I'm having on this board. Please create a venting forum. PLEASE.
Barkley made the excellent point that the Pistons should not have been playing a zone defense on the Lebron layup that tied the game in regulation, and that they should have used double teams up high to get the ball out of Lebron's hands. Lebron was otherwordly, but I think that Flip deserves some of the blame for not finding a way to defend what essentially was a one on five game for the last eighteen minutes. If Cleveland does go on to win the series, you will not see him taking over a game this way against San Antonio.
You're still doing Summer Camp because if I am here (and I'm pretty emotional tonight) then you are here. You big lovable baby.
IN OT who cares if you get kicked out. And if you win, who cares if you are missing a guy or two for game 6 on the road. What Would Rick Mahorn do?
