NBA Playoffs

Cleveland wins! but i think i figured out why. its a set up by the NBA for better ratings in the finals. whew, for a second there i couldnt figure out how cleveland won.

Cleveland won because they were the BETTER team, my dear! We'll see how the finals turn out; everyone's expecting the Cavs to be eaten alive! I don't think so!

WITNESS baby!!!!!

WAY TO GO CLEVELAND!!!

Cleveland has won twice year....
getting Brady Quinn.........and now a trip to the NBA Finals.

Stop hatin on da CAVS!!

I hope they take apart San Antonio and King James crushes those cheaters from SA. You know the Refs are not going to let cheap shot artists get their hits in on Lebron like they did against the Suns.
Those same tactics will find the Spurs down 2 or 3 men for a few games.

GO CAVS!!

It that were true then Phoenix would still be in it. And if you saw the game tonight then you can see that they are a good TEAM. Go Cavs!!

This is the beginning of the end for cleveland. let the games begin!

Im still not ruling out a set up. something like this happened back in the 90s in the world series. atlanta won the first two games scoring like 30 runs. hmm..then mysteriously forgot how to play baseball and proceeded to get their ass kicked losing 4 straight games. theres no doubt certain people can be gotten to. im not saying its a definate in this case, but it has and can happen.

 

[Tickle Fiend]

You really think players are just going to throw a series? There's no way you can have something like that happen and have everyone on the same page. Cleveland lost by two points? the first two games in Detroit. It's not like Detroit dominated the games they won. Cleveland proved in Game 1 that they were there to play.

Certain players can be gotten to, as well as refs. welcome to the wonderful world of gambling.

Well, what can you say...there wasn't one game in this series where Detroit outplayed the Cavs, i'm really shocked. All that playoff experience wasted. While the players play the game, I truly believe at this stage you need guidance, and Flip Saunders never provided any. Is it time to break up the Pistons, I think so.

ABC got what they wanted...Lebron in the finals...

Now you're just being bitter and silly! No conspiracies here, just hard work and good player selection finally paying off in Cleveland.

No one cheated and no one's being set up. The Cavs have worked their butts off and it finally paid off whether you like it or not. Maybe you should stop gambling your money away or start picking the right team to win.

Witness baby!!!!

No my dear....Ohio got what we wanted; the Cavaliers finally in the finals! Between the Cavs and the Browns, I don't know how many times the finals got snatched away from us. We'll finally get what's due-a chance to go all the way baby!

If this was any team but Cleveland, there wouldn't be so much speculation and accusation would it?

 

[ThatPercussionGuy]

LOL, what??

How many times was it snatched away?? How 'bout never! The last time Cleveland did anything in the playoffs was 1992. The time in the east finals before that was the 70's, that hardly qualifies as getting it snatched away from you 'so many times', those 'times' doesn't even fill one hand.

As far as any other team, how 'bout Dwayne Wade in Miami last year? Next year it'll be 'Melo...the NBA will want the draft class of '03 to be the best of all time.

5 straight Eastern Conf. Finals

2 NBA Finals

1 Championship (the best part about that one was denying Karl Malone a championship 🙂)

Not a bad run I'd say...let's see what Dumars is made of now.

If the Spurs lose the finals...something really stinks in Denmark (or is that Green Bay with all that cheese? 🙂)

Remember the Michael Jordan years?

And how many times did Elway took the Browns out in the Kosar years? I never said it was recent; hell, it hasn't been that long that fans were practically paid to come to Cavs games. Now, those tickets will be coming at a premium for awhile.

If the Spurs lose it'll be because Cleveland outplayed them, plain and simple. Why are people so negative against Cleveland? We got this far, why can't they go all the way?

Its not that people are against cleveland. we just dont want them to win!

Why? What's so special about San Antonio? Haven't they won a championship already? Time for some new blood and Cleveland's just as good a candidate than anyone else. Who knows-either you'll get what you want or I will right?

May the best team win---especially if it's Cleveland!!

Cleveland fans are funny. "snatched away"? Look, i know you are excited about the Cavs making the finals, but really, it IS Cleveland we are talking about. Dont they call Cleveland "mistake by the lake". I heard that somewhere. During those Jordan years, the Cavs served as a tuneup for the Bulls to face either the Knicks or Pistons. The Browns choked against Elway. simple as that. There was no "snatching" away.

Besides, when Cleveland lost the Browns to Baltimore, at least the NFL felt sorry for them and gave them a franchise back VERY QUICKLY. They even got to keep the name and colors. LA loses TWO teams and there doesnt seem to be any hurry to put a team there.

Man, what the hell is going on in the State of Ohio? First the stupid Buckeyes make the Finals in BOTH college football and basketball and now the Cavs are in the NBA Finals. I guess every once in a while, the sun shines in Ohio. Now, will the State of Ohio lose another championship? We will have to wait and see.

It wouldnt be much of a surprise if Cleveland wins. The way they are saying the Spurs are invincible reminds me of a particular NBA Finals from 4 years ago when the Kobe/Shaq/Malone/Payton Lakers lost in 5 to the Pistons. You just never know what's going to happen. The Spurs SHOULD win, but you just never know.

Hey tckleguy, dont you think Chauncey Billups would look good in a Laker uniform next year?

Hey folks, I was only having an opinion; you don't have to take me so seriously.

I am happy that the Cavs are going to a championship however; I'm not a Cavs fan nearly as much as I am a Cleveland fan and am tired of the negative press about it. I'm not a huge mens basketball fan at all and I haven't watched one game in its entirety. I've just been messing with some of you guys because you make it so easy !

Many people thought Detroit would beat Cleveland in four-and-out; even Charles Barkley brought four suits for the four games! Man, I'd like to be a fly on the wall to see his face last night! I see no reason why the Cavs can't go all the way even though most of you guys don't seem to feel the same way. Winning the championship is merely icing on my delicious cake, so to speak; it doesn't matter to me who wins at this point.

One down, three more to go for the spurs.

If you takin' the Spurs then that means the Cavs are going to win.

Don't get too happy baby; this looks really familiar from the Cavs perspective! The Pistons said the same thing are where are they now? Let me answer that-they're in front of their tv's spectating!

San antonio wont let that happen to them. they will be focused on every game.

I want cleveland to win, but I just can't see them beating the spurs.

We're going back to Cleveland for the next two games!

Think, Detroit Pistons! Someone thought we were dead 0-2 then too!

They're back for the next three. The schedule changes for the finals. Hopefully they'll take care of business all three games.

The same situation will not happen again. the spurs will be prepared.
