Ballgame. Great effort by LeBron tonight. Gibby looked good out there too on both sides of the ball.

Good sequence by Gooden. He turned away Billups on the dribble, grabbed the rebound on the Prince miss and nailed both his free throws.

Start Gibson and bring Hughes off the bench when we go back to Detroit. I think that could really make a difference if we have Hughes running with the bench group.
Great game all around.

James was talking up Daniel Gibson in the post-game interview with Craig Sager. He said, "He (Gibson) defends well for a young guy."
I just thought that was funny, since Old Man James is all of one year older than Gibson. Sure, he's way more experienced, having been in the league longer, but I think this illustrates how we often lose sight of just how young James is and how he's still growing into his superstardom.

I watched that too and thought that James is a very accomplished BS'er for his age , so poised .

Someone needs to insert something into Rasheeds mouth in that last pic...
Great game by the Cavs tonite...It looks like 86 in the magic number for the playoffs and I see no reason why they can't hit that...They were a little more uptempo at times tonite and I think they need to keep doing that...Also LBJ looked for his shot tonite, and it is obvious to everyone that this team goes as his scoring goes...
I don't want him to force things, but he has to find the holes and the shots like he did tonite...
BTW props to my boy Boobie for stepping up big tonite...

While they did go more uptempo tonight and James played with more authority IMO they still have a way to go. If they do score 86 points in every game they do have a chance but i'm not making any vbets on them yet.
And they at least looked like they belonged tonight.

They are 9-0 in playoff games of over 86 and 0-4 in games under 86...
They have looked like they belonged in every game till the last minute or two in the first two games when they didnt finish...
Detroit is teaching them how to win close games, by letting all these games be close and with the help of the crowd tonite they got over the hump...If they can win game 4 then anything is possible in this series...

I agree with everything you say here. It is what I meant when I said maybe they grew up tonight.crazybuckfan40;852088; said:
I still think that Det is too experienced for them.

They maybe too experienced, but as we have seen last year, and some this year, as the series go deeper Detroit losses their legs, and guys start to struggle...As we have seen Billups and Prince have struggled all series, it has been Sheed that has been playing welll all series and Rip in game 1, but now he has started to struggle...
Flip is also gettig tight again much like last year and shortening his bench...We saw Dale Davis in game 1 and havent seen him since...We have seen Flip some, but not that much, and I didnt see Hunter at all tonite and Delfino and Maxiel only played about 6 minutes combined...Those old legs on these guys have shown to wear down and while Chicago didnt really take as much out of them as I would have liked to see, they did give them 3 challenging games and really finished the series giving them some tough games...
This next game is the big one...If we get it I think we win the series, of course if we don't it will be almost impossible to win 3 straight games with 2 of them coming in Detroit...
Lets just hope that we don't choke it away like Cleveland franschises like to do...Then we will have to deal with Tibor...:tongue2:
