Z fell and yao tripped over him, it was unintentional.
The calls balanced out, several times we got bad calls when LB or one of the other guys went to the hoop, mike brown even got a tec because he was arguing, so we both got equal bad calls, it happens.
The cavs outplayed the Rockets the entire game, one or two referee calls made no difference.

Are you kidding me?
I just finished watching the detroit game. WOW. Most entertaining game I've seen all year by far. LeBron definitely led his team tonight, and played better than anybody I've seen as far as everything goes (dunking, layups, passing, dribbling, 3 pt shooting, mid-range shooting, DEFENSE!, leadership, and everything else)
LeBron by far played better than anyone else in the NBA can right now tonight, I really like what we are getting from this young guy on this team.
I love our future, we have a chance to go on a huge win streak with the up coming games all being below .500 teams., and if detroit loses to dallas (home)/san antonio (Away)/houston (away)
If they lose 2/3 of those games we will be in first place! Now that we are only 2 games behind.
I got to tell you, I was watching this game, I knew we wouldnt keep the first quarter lead, but by 3 minutes left in the 4th-q, I was sweating because of how much I was jumping around. After LeBron's long 3 that he almost got off in time to win the game, I jumped up going psycho, but then I realized it didnt count and I awaited overtime, where I was jumping around just as much.
How about LeBron, I'm just psyched out right now, that last dunk to tie the game was the best play I've seen in a long time.

You think you were excited watching on TV? I was at the game tonight (gotta love the Valentine's Day gift

) and it was just... insane. One of the most entertaining games of the year for sure. I was pretty disappointed in the end as my hometeam lost, but geez, Lebron put on a clinic. I thought for sure that the Pistons would hold on and win mid-way through the 4th quarter. But then Lebron simply took over. It seemed like he took every shot for the Cavs during the last several minutes... and he made them all! The only downfall is Lebron's (and the entire Cavs team) free throw shooting. They almost let Detroit squeak by after missing so many free throws down the stretch. In fact, a couple of the fans around me agreed that maybe within that last few minutes, the Pistons should have used a 'Hack-a-Lebron' strategy
Anyway, the Cavs don't really stand a chance come playoff time unless Gooden and the rest of the guys on the team step up like they did tonight. An all-around impressive performance by Cleveland, not just LBJ. You guys will need more nights like this.

but wow, tied the game with that dunk... it was awesome!!!!

Well, the entire cavs team is stepping up since the first game vs. washington, it has just been very inconsistently. But, ever since the first tip of the season, we have been getting more consistent, and we are at the peak with Sasha, Gibson, Varejao, Gibson. Everyone is stepping up on a more consistent basis, which is why we're winning more games, almost beat dallas, and beat you guys last night :-p
I'd be scared if I was a pistons fan, and if I was at the game, I'd still be in the arena in my seat with my mouth on the floor in disbelief.
I go to quite a few cavs games myself (1/3 season tickets), but I've never seen a game as thrilling as that one.

The Cavs are pretty impressive without LeBron and they stretch their winning streak to 6 games going to Vancover looking for their seventh straight victory.

you mean Memphis right? i was kinda confused for a bit. hahaha jk
Sat Mar 17, 2007 8:40 am
Yeah, sorry. I was thinking about their old team.
Sat Mar 17, 2007 4:04 pm
7 in a row for the cavs (We were chasing detroit, but they can not freaking lose a game, and they blew out the suns)
Hopefully it's 7 in a row and counting, Hughes is the best PG on the team btw.
Sun Mar 18, 2007 1:19 pm
Woah....8 games in a row. This is unbelievable basketball from Cleveland.
Edit: Also good job by Detroit to win 5 consecutive games away from home after losing 2 straight at home.
Mon Mar 19, 2007 6:38 am
I wish detroit would lose! They are beating dallas right now at near half time.
Cavs are doing great though, 8 in a row against some fine teams, and when they played a weak team they took care of business (Toronto**, Houston*, Detroit**, Milwaukee, Indiana, Sacramento, Memphis, Utah**)
Everybody is playing good, Gooden like a star, LBJ - best player in the NBA* since the all star break hands down, Larry Hughes - over 20 ppg since starting PG, 8-0 since starting PG, 7 APG since starting PG, Sasha Pavlovic - since starting was slow, but now putting up great numbers, Zydrunas - Incredible defense lately, clutch shots, stepping up big time, Donyell Marshall - Stepping up on the bench a lot, Shannon Brown - Earned a role on the team, Ira Newble - premier defense and premier play.

Not a complete let down, it's a loss. They just were outplayed in the end, and Sasha had a crucial turnover to send it into overtime, then in OT they got hot from the 3 pt line and took over.
We just had 8 in a row, against some pretty damn good teams too. This is a game they should of won, but it happens. They just need to bring it for dallas tonight.

Whoa, what a game! Perfect day for me, cavs beat the bulls to not give up tie breaker and to keep second seed. AND OSU goes to the national championship!
Good game overall by the cavs, but they do the same stuff every game and shoot some lousy outside shots in the clutch moments in the 4th quarter and blow the lead.
Great leadership by LeBron, got his team involved in the first quarter (the dumb ESPN announcers criticized him for it too?) But afterwards he took over and completely dominated not settling for less than a win.

Are these the new LeBrons or just another shoe he decided to wear?

goodness gracious, today was one of the most horrible basketball game i've ever seen in my life...
the way clevelend played tonight was disgusting.
the good think about this is that this is only one game, and they have 4 more games. they need to win 2 more.
Sun Aug 12, 2007 9:02 am
personaly i would like to see allan houston sign with the cavs, i think he may surprise. and maybe he can lure oakley in too....
Mon Aug 13, 2007 5:42 pm
Yeah it will be a nice addition to the cavs/
Mon Aug 13, 2007 7:23 pm
Screw Oakley.
Id welcome Houston to a deal like Penny got in Miami any day of the week!
I think we should focus on adding Posey as well as resigning Pavs and Varejao.

a guy like oakley would have been great for the cavs last season during the finals. really he only needed to be able to play like 3 minutes, then he could have pulled a robert horry like move on the spurs and broke tony parkers leg or something, really change the series around you know

robert horry broke someones leg? what is it with apologists and their gigantium exagerrations? next horry will have lazered off jesus's testacles, hence being the root of all evil, global warming, and fat girls wearing short skirts.
Tue Aug 14, 2007 9:26 pm
dont forget half shirts, blame horry for that too. then again maybe they are not half shirts, maybe they are regular shirts that look like half shirts of said fat girls?
