    wht we do goes unoticed becuz of so much animosity towards us havin lebron james...people feel we dnt deserve him...its obvious
    Yeah thats it, everyone else is jealous that you have Lebron, sure is hard to argue with logic that is so flawed. Cleveland got that # 2 seed thanks to Chicago falling apart in the last game, the East isnt exactly the strongest conference in the NBA, like I pointed out before they skated through the 1st round thanks to the Arenas injury. Pertaining to the two 50 win seasons, that has no bearing, you can win a bunch of games but in the end nobody remembers anyone unless you win the title, look Dallas this year for a prime example of that. I dont hate Cleveland but I think they are flawed in far too many areas to get to the Finals.

      And the Cavs beat a Wizards team everybody in the East wanted to play in round 1, and a Nets team with an old Jason Kidd, a heartless Vince Carter, and their best big man watching the entire season.

      The Pistons also have a World Championship banner and 2 Eastern Conference Championship banners. They've earned the respect they get. Cleveland hasn't earned anything yet.

        Wow, the Bulls would have beaten your precious Cavs I hate to break it to you. Taking into consideration the injury situation I would take Orlando over a Washington team being carried by the likes of Jamison and Antonio Daniels but I guess Cleveland had a much tougher road to get to this point.

          Who cares about stats? The Suns were amazing in just about every offensive category.



          The Pistons have won 50 games for 6 straight years. Again: Who cares?



          The EASTERN Conference.



          This is the 5th straight Eastern Finals for the Pistons.



          Yeah, because everybody hates the Basketball Jesus...

            I agree with everything in your past two posts, except an Old Jason Kidd... I'd still take an Old Jason Kidd over most any PG in the league, with the exception of few.

              As of right now I'd only take Nash over him and even then, I'm not sure.

                I agree, he's still a top 3 PG, but he's still not the same Kidd he was when he took the Nets to the Finals. Considering the knee injury he had, that's only natural.

                    Yeah.. but he's surprised me more than anybody this post season. The way he moves around the court at his age, is incredible. Showed some real balls throwing 3/4 court alley's to Vince in that last game. Should have completed them too.. they were right on the money.

                    Thats darn impressive.

                    Can't believe it's been that long ago since he took them to the Finals. I remember watching it during intermission during one of the city leagues I played in. (between games out in the lobby, haha)

We've been down 2-0 already in these Playoffs and came back and won the series when everyone thought it was over before Game 3.

                      Utah plays well at home and I think it will be harder for the Spurs to win in Utah then it is for us to win in SA. This series will go seven games and if that bores you then you should shut up and find something else to do. Just my two cents.
                      Utah hasn't won in San Antonio since February of 1997. And you think it'll be harder for the Spurs to win in Utah than it is for Utah to win in San Antonio...

                      that's just nonsense.

                          Pushing a team to 7 games in the Conference Semifinals doesn't earn you respect from the media. Winning back to back conference titles and one NBA title does.

                          And like I said...who gives a damn about stats?

                              Honestly there's no reason for the media to give respect to Cleveland right now. Sure they're the number 2 seed, but as Psy said, it's the Eastern Conference. If you just look at the players on each team you'd go with Detroit. Add in that Detroit has the past success and it's an easy choice to go with the Pistons in this series.

                              I think Cleveland has a bit of a chance and want them to win, but just looking at things realistically, the Pistons should be favored by almost everyone.

                                Exactly. I hope no one in the media gives us a chance...so Bron can get nice and pissed-off. The same pundits said we wouldn't win a game last year...

                                May we have no injuries, just a good hard-fought series...that the Cavs win in 6.

                                Good luck.
