Well 31 free throws to our 16. Refs are giving you all the oppurtunity that you need. Though Pistons are going to win this one.

LOL...I just don't think Detroit has anything left...

 
Before you even say it, Rasheed wasn't denying that foul. That was certainly intentional. It was the phantom push, and then the Tayshaun foul where he just stayed in front of the defender with his hands up.
 
What a joke game. the entire league is biased towards cleveland cause they wanna see their 'bron bron' make it to the finals. So many bojanky fouls being called tonight. Not saying detroit deserved to win, they played poorly, I'm just saying cleveland is getting a TON of breaks.
 
LOL...you Detroit fans bitch and whine just like Michigan fans...

The Pistons are getting out played and out rebounded...

Why? how many fouls has lebron gotten all series? You can't tell me he's THAT clean of a player..
 
I was preparing for a nail-biter, but looks like Cleveland's goin' to the dance!!!



That Gibson is gonna be all over the newspapers tomorrow! 😎
 
Amazing game by Gibson! He was dropping everything. Wow. LeBron didnt score much, but didn't have to -- still he had a good game.

Unfortunatly, there is a 6' 11", 260lbs roadblock named Tim Duncan in the way to the Championship. Cant wait to watch this series 🙂

Well over 6 games he had 8 personal fouls....barely one a game....apparently he's *that* clean....

</sarcasm>

The NBA isn't stupid, he's a superstar, that means 5 steps without a dribble to travel, free double dribbles and as long as you don't punch the opposing player it's not a foul, also tripping and/or shoving opposing players doesn't draw fouls either....

silly boy didn'y you know that??

</sarcasm>

He actually is a pretty clean player. But noone challenges him one on one...I don't think Prince, Hamilton, or even Billups tried to take him off the dribble the whole series. Why? Because they aren't as quick and strong as Lebron is and know they can't get around him. Lebron plays great position defense.

That's not to say he didn't deserve more fouls, I dunno, but not many more if so. Neither did many of the other cavs players as well...the Pistons have a point guard who'd rather hit the big shot than keep the team in the game by driving, getting fouls, etc.


I think the outcome of this game was setup by James' relentless aggressiveness late in Game 5. The Pistons defense was off balance all night by double teaming James and leaning the entire defense towards him, and made it very easy for James to do what he loves to do the most - set everyone else up.

Either way you slice it - the Cavs deserved to win this one, and the Pistons deserved to lose the game.

I'll agree with you on all the points except the Lebron and clean....at some point a line has to be drawn concerning fouls and superstars. The most fouls he had all series was Game 5 and he had 3 with the game going to DOUBLE OT...excluding game 5 he commited just FIVE fouls in 5 games. Including one game where he played 44 minutes and didn't commit a foul??!? :roll: 😕

Not trying to hate or whine....but seriously makes me raise an eyebrow at times what not only Lebron but other league superstars can get away with.
 
sorry to tell you the truth, but cleveland had to win to save ABC from some dismal ratings

Spurs in 5.

 
Spurs in 5. Detroit really had terrible defense in the 4th quarter. Chauncey had a terrible game...again. Lebron doesn't pick up much fouls because he absolutely plays no defense!!! Who do you think he's going to cover in the NBA Finals??....... Bruce Bowen.
 
I like how when the majority owner was talking during the "ceremony", he thanked some guy and his staff, then thanked LeBron and his staff. 😀 What a way to piss on the other guys that play for you. Sure, he's the superstar and face of the team, but you don't discredit the other players like that.
