LeBron is the only one who can do anything at all for the Cavs.

 

[Ricochet]

29 of the last 30 pts for Cavs have been Lebron.

Best closing by Lebron ever!!! Lebron wins it!

 

[w3stfa11]

Amazing game for LeBron. A historical game, if you ask me. Cavs win the next game, I'm sure.

Yea really....I'll point it out AGAIN that this was a poorly, poorly, HORRIBLY officiated game on BOTH sides of the ball.

Detroit should have won this game at the end of the fourth, Cleveland SHOULD have won at the end of the first OT and that shot by Sheed should have been a foul on cleveland...

David Stern you can suck my left nut....

And Lebron....congrats for encouraging more young people to discard the idea of team playing...its great that he's so good but it also makes Cleveland looks *that* bad...At least Jordan had a TEAM that was great.

 

[bobert]

GO CAVS!!!!!

Dude.

Lebron had to carry the team... he was exhausted and still got it done.

Sheed got fouled, true. But There were two no calls on the previous Clev. possession.


And...Bron got hak'ed on the game winning lay-up. He should had a three point play opp.

 

[bigrash]

Awesome game by Lebron. Can't believe he scored the last 25 points. No question he won the game for the Cavs tonight

I'm pointing this out because despite inability to stop Lebron tonight, doesnt take away from the fact that Cleveland is utterly one dimensional, take Lebron out of the game....and Cleveland loses...I point this out so that if Cleveland wins the series, and they face the Spurs...and get pwned, it's kinda like well DUH...

That and I'm just bitter at the moment

Tho I'd like Cleveland's chances better(in the finals) if Lebron had his own version of a Scottie Pippen-esqe player on his team.

I totally agree that Jordan had a better team than the Cavs around him, but do you honestly believe that the Bulls would have won even 1 championship without him?

 

[miniMUNCH]

Now that I watch the replay's... man, Lebron got fouled like hell on so many plays... no calls. WTF.

A lot of no calls and bad calls all around but Lebron got fouled hard in plan sight right in front of a ref... no call.

Well honestly no....but who do you think has a better shot in the finals this year against the Spurs....the Pistons or the Cavs???

Hence why I said it was piss-poor refs on BOTH sides of the ball

 

[noto12ious]

I haven't seen such studliness in the playoffs since Jordan.

Lebron >>>>>>>>> Kobe.

foulking clutch.

 

[Jmman]

Truly an amazing performance by Lebron. Neither one of these teams has much of a chance against San Antonio though, unless Duncan breaks a leg or something......

 

[Mrvile]

Way to prove that the Cavs can still beat the refs. Horrible calls, great play by the team (Lebron).

 

[fustercluck]

Amazing, Lebron took down Detroit in the 4th/OT/2OT all by himself. Some amazing shots in there, best performance I've ever seen personally in NBA playoff basketball, but I don't remember watching Jordon.

Could someone on the Cavs help lebron maybe? Yowza. The Cavs really need a number 2.

The way the Spurs have been playing, definitely the Pistons. but I'll be rooting for the Cavs though.

 

[miniMUNCH]

Yeah... one of the best playoff performances of all time by Lebron. And... he is 22.

"I said gawd damn!!"

That Gibson kid is really making his way to becoming an amazing player. Too bad he fouled out relatively early, I would've liked to see him perform at the end.

 

[Miramonti]

Lebron = Stunning!

This is the aggressiveness that everyone envisioned that would make him unstoppable. Its always so frustrating to see him settle for outside shots and defer to teammates rather than take over, but this was finally what everyone's known he's physically capable of...but often questioned his mental instincts.

29/30 of the final points is remarkable on 2 counts...Lebron's phenomenal performance of course, and the rest of the Cavs lack of performance. Lebron certainly wasn't the only one to shoot during that stretch...

This is going to be a career builder for Lebron. Doing it himself when he needs to doesn't make him selfish...quite the contrary...he did exactly what the team wanted and needed from him to win, and that's ironically very unselfish imo.

Great defense by the entire team as well, so even tho they didn't hit shots, it was a huge team effort. :thumbsup:

 

[QED]

As a Cavs fan, I thought McDyess gave a hard foul that was perhaps worth of a one-shot flagrant call... but it certainly was not a flagrant-two shot foul. Then again, I'm not the one who is getting clotheslined to the ground, so perhaps I'm not as sympathetic as I should be.

Watching a game like this will make you question what truly is a foul and what is not-- I saw quite a few players go the basket and get absolutely mauled with no call made, only for a ticky-tack penalty to get called at the other end of the floor.

I wonder if the Cavalier's refusal to blame the refs for their Game 2 loss with the now infamous no-call at the end is now paying off with refs giving the Cavs the benefit of the doubt on some close calls...

 

[Lash444]

I hated watching the Piston's versus the Cavs last season, and even more so this year. McDyess thrown out of this game, after Lebron's elbow move to Webber in the first game. Talks of suspending Mcdyess. Give me a fricken break. This isn't WWE staged, but throwing out a pivotal player from our team game 5 is just disgusting. No chance in hell that a Cleveland player gets thrown out in either arena for that foul. If Lebron did that, it probably wouldn't even be called a flagrant foul. Please, if I am lying here, just stop me. Nobody can say for certain the intent that Mcdyess even had in that foul, unlike Lebron's elbow.

I have to agree that it seemed like all the fouls that took place were non-existent. And I saw at least 2 drives by lebron, one against Sheed and another against max at the end of the game that didn't get called for a foul. And I will quote Webber at halftime when asked how they win "Hope they don't flop." Chauncey has played like a fool this whole series. Lebron getting easy drives to the basket. Its really pretty hard watching these games as a Piston's fan. We can't refute calls, or the team gets T-ed up.

I know that psychologically a person doesn't remember the beneficial calls, but always remembers the ones that go against them. Is this what is happening right now? Cause the officiating seems so excruciatingly bad this series. And it always seems to be against cleveland. I honestly have a harder time watching piston's play cleveland than SA, and the tigers losing the series. The calls just always seem to be so messed up.

It's the same from the other side of the court...I can't believe how pissed off I got at some of the calls (or lack thereof) being made today, and I'm a Cavs fan. It almost seems like the refs are deciding the games, not the players.

 

[lupi]

The good: I'm finally interested enough in the playoffs to watch a game.
 
The bad: It's game 6 of the conference finals.
 
The ugly: They Indy 500 coverage during the rain delay had a higher rating than the Sterns-Jazz game.
