NBA Playoffs 2007
-
Rick Adelman is appointed as rockets' new coach.
-
Lebron James scored 48 to lead the Cavaliers to a 109-107 double OT win over the Pistons.
Cavaliers now lead 3-2.
but James is tired, he's suffering from fatigue, Don't write the Pistons off. -
this is the mirror image of what happened last year between the two of them.Again i will say watch out for the pistons...the are not a team that will back down from challenges...The only key difference this year...Leborn has been able to close out games in the four quarter..this will be a major plus for him...watch out for him guys...Hard to predict but i will say Leborn will have a hard time against the impeccable defense in game 6..every thing is on the line. for both..Originally posted by stellazio:Lebron James scored 48 to lead the Cavaliers to a 109-107 double OT win over the Pistons.

If we were going to predict Pistons tactics....in game 6..There is only one thing on the agenda : Don allow leborn 48 points by hook or by crook...If not see ya at home on the crouch watching Duncan and Leborn battling out on TV...

i stiil say it's a Spurs Vs Pistons Finals.

I think Tracy's game will flourish under his stewardship.Mike Bibby a great offense player not known for his defense made a name for himself playing under Rick.Originally posted by Gordonator:Rick Adelman is appointed as rockets' new coach.
Yao will become more of a passer then a main go to guy if according to what rick will do.The next Chris Webber..
Overall,They are exchanging defense with fast flowing offense.
Outcome : Hard to say -

I never say is not going to be Spurs Vs Pistons...But no one would like to watch a series between two very effective teams...I believe all fans will have to agree with me..It is all up to James now...It reminds me of jordan's younger days where he battled the pistons for several years before making into the finals.

yup. spurs vs piston at finals.. but i still hope cavaliers to be the black horse and win it.
-
YES ! cav to the finals against spurs !
-
heng is not a spurs vs pistons... cavs KOed pistons...
-
King James!
can he do it to the spurs? maybe he is the true heir to michael jordan.
-
to win the title need more than jz james... even jordan depended on pippen, grant n paxton... see if the cavs team can step up to support him...Originally posted by stellazio:King James!

Damm! I was wrong. So it's Spurs Vs Cavs.
Wonder if all those last 2 years watching the Pistons in Finals as a spectator proves to be a useful knowledge against them?
Well against the Spurs, the whole team needs to step up. Bruce is definately guarding the "King".
-
apparently i underestimated the power of james.. this could be the end of an era for the pistons actually.
chauncey bullups will be an free agent.
webber might retire
rasheed wallace might move on. -

A 2007 match up to be look out for. -
I have to agree with you.Pistons are and aging team,C Web....did put in some points but it was not enough to save them.The team will be dismantle by joe Dumar once again...I will see some big moves.I doubt Chauncey will return...Sources rumoured he will be a lakers...Kobe help is coming.Originally posted by stellazio:apparently i underestimated the power of james.. this could be the end of an era for the pistons actually.

i think kobe needs an unselfish point guard like jason kidd or nash.Originally posted by hobochua:I have to agree with you.Pistons are and aging team,C Web....did put in some points but it was not enough to save them.The team will be dismantle by joe Dumar once again...I will see some big moves.I doubt Chauncey will return...Sources rumoured he will be a lakers...Kobe help is coming.
billup is more like a stephon marbury kind of player, have a tendency to take too many shots.
rumours are that lakers are gonna put up a deal to get jermaine o neal for odom and bynum. but i think it sucks cuz they still need a good PG.
and they should really try to get garnett instead of J o neal.
but really, the lakers should have just lost all their games this season and try to get the no.1 pick which is greg oden, which is a good centre. better then the kwarme brown. -
i don't think so, bruce can guard kobe quite well.Originally posted by hobochua:Bruce is absolutely going to have a horrid time guarding the king...James will be playing in torrid heat with Bowen's defense showering on him.
A 2007 match up to be look out for.
and kobe is more difficult to handle then james at the moment with years of experience behind him, plus kobe is sharper in his shots.
but one thing, if james is gonna drive to the basket, spurs will have duncan there, unlike against the pistons where they lack a strong inside presence without ben wallace.
james can't win it on his own this time, he will need everyone to perform. -
duncan cant guard well against james, what if bowen use the cheapshot against james just like against nash
-
no, bowen will be guarding james.Originally posted by icyboiz:duncan cant guard well against james, what if bowen use the cheapshot against james just like against nash
duncan will blk him when he's driving to the basket. -
too bad no more anfernee hardaway else lakers can sign him...Originally posted by stellazio:i think kobe needs an unselfish point guard like jason kidd or nash.

ya.. wad i mean as duncan cant guard james well as in block.. can see by alot of games of cav against spurs.. james can just dunk over duncan without much troubleOriginally posted by stellazio:no, bowen will be guarding james.
duncan will blk him when he's driving to the basket. -
Ask Big Shot Rob to do the cheap shot on Lebron.
See if Cav young team will get suckered into it the way Diaw & Stodermire get ban for a game!

I definitely agrees with you on this Kobe is much tougher to guard due to the fact he can shoot from anywhere at a very high percentage.Originally posted by stellazio:i don't think so, bruce can guard kobe quite well.
and kobe is more difficult to handle then james at the moment with years of experience behind him, plus kobe is sharper in his shots.

Leborn is slowly making his climb to be like Kobe.
I have to highlight that leborn is still without a ring compared to kobe's three.
Experience comes in to play when everything is on the line.
I think bowen will do a pretty decent job against leborn.
Sorry, lebron maybe next year. -
cavaliers' 1st time in the NBSA finals.Originally posted by icyboiz:YES ! cav to the finals against spurs !
