12 seconds to go, down 2, and Mike Brown benches Z, their best player in the game. Love it.

I guess his strategy was to go for the win...I agree with you and I think that LBJ should of taken that shot instead of passing out...

35 points in the second half is what is laughable...

The Pistons sleep walked thru this game and still won when they hit a couple of wide open 3's...

I hate to say it but we are outclassed in this series...:(

First. It's hard to be a Cavs fan for obvious reasons
2nd. The Cavs just need to play more up tempo and let James do his thing.

I think the old adage about "you go for the win on the road" is just stupid. You play the situation you are dealt. if Lebron has 5 fouls or has fouled out, sure, go for the win. otherwise, it was a poorly played game, just go for the tie and take your chances in OT.
The flipside is they got a wide open 3 out of it and you'll take that anytime. On the other hand, he only played 9 minutes in the game, he is 8-20 in the playoffs from 3, and 6 of those were in 1 game. Well, that was the last game, which should tell you that he's not going to hit another one for 5 games. I'm sorry, but the first game in the final 4 shouldn't come down to your 8th man, unless that 8th man is John Paxton, Steve Kerr, or Big Shot Rob.

I can't say I disagree with any of this...Espescially when all LBJ had to do is lay the ball up and the game is tied...

I have a problem with the tempo, and I have a problem with LBJ not ever trying to take the game over...He doesnt have that it about his game that the guys like Jordan, Bird, Magic, Kobe, etc have...It is pretty bad when I was hoping that Z was in the game at the end of the game to tie the game up for us...

Lebron needs to give back his paycheck for that game. His play has been downright laughable lately, for someone supposedly one of the top few players in the game.

I am not going to say his play is laughable, especially considering if Donyell hits that shot or anyone makes some of the shots that he gave them passes on he has a triple double tonight...The problem with him is the standing around, the not taking shots that he should, the not running in the open floor...Detroit honestly wants LBJ to pass the ball, he has to fight thru it and score...

The Cavs need to listen to the guys from the TNT set, they know what is going on...Hell Magic needs to give LBJ a talkin' too...

Agreed I put this problem on Lebron and Mike Brown's shoulders. Mike Brown needs to light a fire under Lebron's ass. But it ain't gonna happen.

Nope...It is pretty bad when all these guys that have been there, and done that before are calling him out...Honestly I would rather have the TNT guys come coach this team over Mike Brown...

i was thinking the same thing to myself. i was wondering if some of lebron's friends/family who are watching right now will tell him what is being said. if they don't, who will? its obvious that his coach won't.

I think the big statement that Chuck kept making, espicially after they showed LBJ's little soundbite from the press conference about taking what is there, is that he needs to realize that even if he is creating and taking what is there, they are not going to win this series without him taking the game over...

It is like he doesn't realize that he has to be the superstar for them to win.
