Awful call. Just a plain stupid call.

Varejao needs to stop being such a girl and flopping all over the place, he had that one coming to him. That was a hard foul, a flagrant, but it didn't warrant an ejection at all. Stupid call.

LeBron came close to pulling a Nate Robinson right after it.

Still think the Pistons will win this game though. They are still finals bound IMO.

LeBron misses 2 Ft's with 1:52 left. If the Cavs lose this one he's gonna get killed in the media for it.

Wow, I have really enjoyed watching this game.

I only watched 2 games of this series and didn't really pay attention (before this game), because I found the Cavs incredibly boring to watch throughout this season. I really gotta watch more of this series, too bad it's a bit late for that now.

LeBron has been very impressive in the clutch in this game, barring those 2 missed FT's.

LeBron misses FT's, then Billups wastes time and shoots bad 3 to break the tie. Now, both teams have a scapegoat for who loses this game.

I really expect more from Detroit. They are IMO one the 3rd best team in the league (2nd best remaining) yet they are losing to a team barely in the top 10. If New Jersey can beat Cleveland ON THE ROAD, then Detroit should be able to easily beat the Cavs at home. I truly think that is they gave it their all, the Pistons could have already won this series.

I wonder if the Spurs will blow 2 games on the road, so they can win their fourth title on their home floor.

Cavs up by 4 with 33.7 to go. I bet everybody else here thinks I'm kinda crazy, because I'm staring at the computer screen laughing and getting nervous :lol: Damn ESPN Gamecast.

Wow! Double Overtime! Cleveland's coach really blew it wasting this last timeout.

I think that if Detroit wins this, they will win it in 6. If they lose, it will be a repeat of last year and they win in 7.

Awful coaching by Mike Brown when it matters. He burns a timeout he didn't need to, then basically just said "Give LeBron the Ball" with no structured play which becomes an airball. Billups shows up in the clutch (again) and knocks down two big time free throws after a bad foul from LeBron. With 3-4 seconds to go and the game tied, that timeout really could of helped.

What a performance for LeBron James. Before I repeatedly criticized him for being unclutch , but he played spectacular tonight and guided the Cavs to within one game of the NBA Finals. The series is not over yet (remember the Lakers were down 3-2 to Sacramento and managed to win the series) however it would seem a Detroit victory would be very hard to get , especially at Quicken Loans.

One thing I will remember from this game is how the Pistons had an 8 point lead with around 3 minutes to go in the 4th , and blew it. This should have been a win , instead it is a heartbreaking loss.

Incredible performance by LeBron. Simply amazing. Detroit just couldn't guard him, I don't blame them, I have never seen a player of his size move like he does. Wow.

I remember Marv saying LeBron hadn't shot the ball well, and was 7-19. I think that was in the mid to late 3rd quarter. So from then, he went 11-14.

That was one hell of a performance.

HOLY FREAKIN TITTIES Lebron is Jesus in disguise.

2 dunks to send to overtime, 20 ft step back fade away, the huge air ball, the step back 3 to tie it, the game winner. Most amazing thing I've ever seen. I'd die happy right now.

One of the best playoff performances in NBA history. I didn't expect Lebron to keep making those fadeaway 3's, but I like how he attacked the basket for the most part during crunchtime. Bad defense by the Pistons when they let Bron get the easy layup even though it was kinda tough. Also, Mike Brown was saved from that poor coaching decision he made (I think it was the 2nd overtime) when he used that last 20-second timeout while being up 2 points.

Incredible, I knew Bron Bron was good, but dayum. All that talk about him not being clutch, should cease. Why no double team on the last shot by Lebron?
Who's the GOAT?

LeBron made like what.. last 30 out of 31 points for cavs?? He's crazy. Cavs really need someone else to share the load with James. James is making some unbelievable shots like those step back 3pointers.. I'm really looking forward to Game 6. Spurs will win this season though IMHO

I gotta say, the Spurs beat the Cavs in everyway IMO, but if Cleveland gets to the finals I can now say an angry LeBron could get it done. I still believe Detroit is going to the finals but if LeBron plays with the same mindset he did tonight, I'm gonna be completely wrong.

He is unstoppable when he wants to be.

correcting myself, James made last 29 out of 30 points for cavs.. thats just unbelievable performance.. I think Cavs are at their best when they are down and feel the necessity to overcome it. Cavs were down in the end of first half this game for the first time in this series and they had their best third quarter of the series. They are now winning the series from being down 2-0. I hope the Cavs not to loosen up in the Game 6 just because they are up. They need to come out with the same mindset as last three games!

That was the "holy fucking shit" performance people have been waiting for from LeBron for a long time. Games like this turn people into legends.

Holy shit... looks like LeBron is having the same playoff run this year as D-Wade last year. He was insane!

Still think the Pistons will win in 7... but I have sucked at playoff predictions thus fat. I think I picked Detroit in 5 here. :?
