Possible. But Billups is not looking good.
The NBA is fixed.
You know, I don't see it spawning other, smaller, leagues, either.
Also, get Reggie Miller off my television.
Billups seems afraid to pass. The pistons just aren't running a smooth offense. Isolation plays 1v1 are (apparently) not going to get it done vs. the Cavs. The bigs have been ineffective. Why not try a 4 guard lineup of Billups, Hamilton, Prince (playing whatever position LeBron's is called these days), Delfino and Sheed? I know people knock Delfino but in the open court the man is more dangerous than any other Piston currently.
This has nothing to do with the Pistons. They got the Cavs playing one on five, that's what you want. It's just that in this case, one could beat five.
We are all witnesses.
I'm not sure anythig counld be more impressive than Yglesias and Kleins' duet tonight.
I had no idear what this post was about, so I had to hit up google news. Thank you for keeping my beer-and-nacho conversation up to date, Unfogged. Oh, and I found this bit, from an article on the game, amusing:
Oh, yeah. And James also had nine rebounds, seven assists and two steals. No word on whether he flew the plane home.
btw, Unfogged needs a tennis-blogger, opines I. We've got basketball, football, swimming, and even a soccer post, recently.
Impressive? It was bloody amazing! I haven't seen anything like it since Jordan, and not in a "breakout" performance since Magic Johnson in the Finals his rookie year. The last *25* of his team's points, over the last 6 minutes of regulation and two 5-minute OT's, from slam-dunks to fallaway three-pointers . . . . I was (am) in awe.
I can't think of any other team game where one absolutely remarkable individual can so dominate a game - and I'm old enough to remember Maradona and George Best (though not Pele at his peak). Which makes the NBA draft so much of a lottery - one year the top player available is LeBron James and another it's Joe Smith! (Literally. Look it up.)
I understand that Lebron is a premier player -- but with that said -- he gets so many calls. He complains about everything even when every call goes his way. I do not like how everyone compares him to the real #23 -- Michael Jordan. He will never be that good and will always stand in the shadow. I wish the NBA hadn't turned into such a one man show every single night.
Yes, I was never favored by the refs and I was never a one man show either.
I think all that he is saying is that the refs favor him so much -- it does not seem to be fair -- you have to admit the pistons got screwed on calls the whole series.
