Cavs vs Pistons Game 4 (over/under)

[Kori Ellis]

:madrun

[J.T.]

Rasheed guaransheeds a victory.

How will LeBron counter, if at all?

Will the Cavs square the series at 2?

Or will LeBron get LeBrOWNED?

Find out tonight on TNT Monday Night College Hoops

[Texas_Ranger]

Go Cavs Go

[bdubya]

If there's a guaranshee in place, look for the Pistons to make good on the defensive end. I don't expect a lot of scoring tonight...

[1Parker1]

I fully expect a Pistons blowout. Lebron's great, but his team-mates are no match for the Pistons.

BTW, is Hughes back for this game?

[Vizzini]

BTW, is Hughes back for this game?

No, He's still in St. Louis, per ESPN. The Cavs are going to the funeral tomorrow, on their way to Detroit.

[1Parker1]

Yea, I just read the article. Props to the entire Cavs organization. Very classy :tu

[NuGGeTs-FaN]

i hope the Cavs can win another one for Larry, his brother and his family. Im sure the tragedy is in the back of all the players minds at the moment

[FreshPrince22]

Honestly, the fact that Hughes is out is bad for the Pistons. Playing off of Hughes' shaky jumper was a big strategy in the first 2 games. It's not as easy to contain Lebron when Damon Jones is out there instead because you can't help off him as much from the perimeter. They're playing with a lineup of Jones, Flip, Lebron, Marshall, and Varejao for good portions of the game. Marshall takes Sheed out of being able to help, and Varejao is extremely active on pick and rolls which makes it difficult for Ben to help and stop Lebron from dishing to him for layups.

[jman3000]

Is this the over/under the amount of points the Cavs lose by?

:drunk

[Pistons < Spurs]

Shit ....Sheed tweeked his ankle. Going to the locker room.

[picnroll]

I think ducks is going to have to give up bagging on LeBron.

[ABDENOUR POWER]

SHIT

Sheed is injured

And the lowlife Cavs fans are cheering his injury. What bastards.

[picnroll]

Guaransheed goes down. Hope it's nothing serious.

[ducks]

looks like james will get a triple double
10 turnovers tonight baby

[Cant_Be_Faded]

rofl
ilguaskas is such a typical white center

even though ben did get part of his hand

[Cant_Be_Faded]

If LeBron can hero his way to a win tonight, he will have gained CBF's respect for the first time.

[picnroll]

Beginning to see a little MJ in LeBron.

[Cant_Be_Faded]

Pistons with 38 first half points. offensive inefficiency or good cavs defense?

[FreshPrince22]

Pistons with 38 first half points. offensive inefficiency or good cavs defense?

Shit offense. They're just not hitting shots like they normally do.

[picnroll]

It sure isn't the Cavs D.

[J.T.]

Ditto.

[Spurologist]

I don't think cavs and defense go together. That's an oxymoron.

[NuGGeTs-FaN]

I don't think cavs and defense go together. That's an oxymoron.

the Cavs were 10th in the league in Points Allowed (95.4ppg) . Thats not too bad

[Spurologist]

True but i'm guessing you didn't watch the wizards series.

[NuGGeTs-FaN]

True but i'm guessing you didn't watch the wizards series.

:lol nope

only saw 1 game, us poor aussies dont get many games on TV :madrun

but yeh the game i saw was atrocious on D for both teams.

[CubanMustGo]

Jeezus, I bet the over - midway through the third they still haven't got to 100 points.

OK, with 4:00 left it's 51-49 DET, with the Pistons shooting a whopping 37%.

[Pistons < Spurs]

^^Yeah me too. Looks like it was a bad bet. :depressed

[DarkReign]

All I have to say is LeBron owns. This has been a very fairly officiated game. The pistons are playing damn fine defense, but this child still finds lanes.

I am...impressed.

Pistons still win. But this team is only one or two pieces away from serious contention. I have a feeling any team with LeBron is only one or two pieces away.

Better than DWade.

I agree. Lebron is unbelievable. This kid has the potential to be the next MJ. Did you notice his defense has improved game by game?

[ALVAREZ6]

:lmao


don't you guys know this is a defensive series???

[ABDENOUR POWER]

Good game.

I have to say, the Cavs are better than a lot of people give them credit for.

[Spurologist]

I think Lebron just missed that last jumpshot

[Vashner]

lol that score is low for 4th Q.

[FreshPrince22]

Sheed's having a tough time rotating on defense on that ankle.

[ABDENOUR POWER]

Shit its the fourth quarter, meaning LeBron starts getting a "Michael Jordan treatment".

[Pistons < Spurs]

we can't hit a single shot.

[picnroll]

Could we have a Guaranshat?

[Cant_Be_Faded]

Did you all see that play for Rasheed?
why run a set play for him if your offense is stagnant

Flip Saunders at his best :smokin


this is the shit I was talkin about earlier in the season detroit fans

[Spurologist]

Holy Shit. the pistons are getting punked.

[jmard5]

Cleveland is rocking right now.

Detroit, my last vbookie was spent on you!

[Pistons < Spurs]

no worries. 5+ minutes to go. we'll get this done.

[FreshPrince22]

Flip is absolutely useless.

[picnroll]

If LeBron stops jacking up threes and tries to get to the basket and score or pass the Pistons may be sunk.

[jmard5]

Uh-oh. Marshall's on fire.

[picnroll]

How does 120 lb Prince back down guys?

[FreshPrince22]

Wow... Flip just took Sheed out and put in Maurice "WTF?" Evans. He must really be hurting.

[ABDENOUR POWER]

My heart can't take much more of this. :lol:

[Tanya]

Wow... Flip just took Sheed out and put in Maurice "WTF?" Evans. He must really be hurting.

Sheed is doing NOTHING on the floor. Flip does the right thing.

[jmard5]

Wow... Flip just took Sheed out and put in Maurice "WTF?" Evans. He must really be hurting.

Yup, Rasheed's a liability on the floor.

[Cant_Be_Faded]

game over

[Tanya]

My heart can't take much more of this. :lol:

Yeah me too. But it's a great game for non pistons/Cavs fans. ^^

[picnroll]

James takes the DPOY

[Cant_Be_Faded]

make up call by the refs

that shoulda been kicked ball

[ABDENOUR POWER]

pistons blow

[jmard5]

Nice drive by LeBron. TO by Prince.

[jmard5]

LeBron's jumper wasn't very nice. *lol*
He should have drived to the basket. Tsk.

[Horry For 3!]

Hamilton can't guard LeBron

[1Parker1]

Dayyyum, if Cavs lose this game which the Pistons are practicaly handing to them, it'd be a shame.

[1Parker1]

Billups for 3, or Rip for 2 :)

[jmard5]

Dayyyum, if Cavs lose this game which the Pistons are practicaly handing to them, it'd be a shame.

Exactly.

[Cant_Be_Faded]

If lebron doesnt drive the lane for every play he's stupid

[1Parker1]

Cavs can't get a rebound. After not one but TWO misses by the Pistons.

[Horry For 3!]

Big play by Varejo

[1Parker1]

Offensive foul!? Whoa.

[picnroll]

Guess it ain't 2.5 secs on a charge. :lol

[Cant_Be_Faded]

omg lebron is such a fucking idiot

[jmard5]

Why doesn't LeBron drive? C'mon! It's the playoffs!

[ABDENOUR POWER]

8.6 left Pistons down 1 with a chance to win. Wow.

[picnroll]

LeBron just jacking up jumpers. Guess he isn't any MJ yet. ducks must be having an orgasm.

[NASpurs]

Billups is going to win it

[NASpurs]

OMG guess not :lol

[jmard5]

Stern must be mad right now! *lol*

[picnroll]

It's a Guaranshat

[Horry For 3!]

Cavs ball

[1Parker1]

:lmao I've never seen so many missed clutch shots by BITH teams in a game before.

[ABDENOUR POWER]

:depressed

[DarkReign]

That was bullshit. This is a fair game, but that was Detroit ball.

[Horry For 3!]

That was bullshit. This is a fair game, but that was Detroit ball.
No it isn't. Evans hit it out of bounds.

[picnroll]

Flip woke up. I just saw him standing up.

[NASpurs]

That was bullshit. This is a fair game, but that was Detroit ball.Could have been an over and back on Billups (Evans?) I think it was

[Horry For 3!]

LeBron chokes at the ft line, gotta make the 2nd

[picnroll]

Lebron should miss it. So watch him make it.

[Horry For 3!]

Cavs win!

[jmard5]

Ok. series ties.

Now on with the Spurs-Mavs.

[Pistons < Spurs]

good game. Now it'll have to go 6. no biggie.

[1Parker1]

Ugly game by both teams...Cavs just got really lucky.

[Horry For 3!]

Guaran-sheed = OWNED :lmao

[picnroll]

Don't worry Pistons fans. Hughes will be back so you can wrap it up.

[Horry For 3!]

That is only why I wanted the Cavs to win is because Sheed said he Guaran-sheed this victory and he is a lil bitch

[NASpurs]

good game. Now it'll have to go 6. no biggie.At least you guys aren't down in the series http://spurstalk.com/forums/images/smilies/smidepressed.gif

[NuGGeTs-FaN]

2-2........ who would have thought

Pressure back on detroit going home

[Pistons < Spurs]

At least you guys aren't down in the series http://spurstalk.com/forums/images/smilies/smidepressed.gif
No fear. you guys will wil be even up at 2-2 tonight.

[ABDENOUR POWER]

No it isn't. Evans hit it out of bounds.

It looked to me like Evans hit it but then it brushed the fingertips of a Cavs player. But then again, considering how Detroit was playing, it probably wouldn't have made any difference.

Detroit will be lucky to make it past Miami, much less SA or Dallas.

:depressed

[Pistons < Spurs]

Didn't Duncan basically guarantee game 3 with his "we'll see who's who's glaring after game 3".....or whatever his quote was......does that mean he's a bitch too?

[DisgruntledLionFan#54,927]

No it isn't. Evans hit it out of bounds.


It hit LeBron's hand on the way out.

Eh, they missed a lot of open shots tonight...

[Tanya]

I don't care about what sheed said. I have confidence we still win this series. But there will be our disadvantage that the heat will get more rest if they finish the nets off tomorrow night.

[DisgruntledLionFan#54,927]

Yes.

[Cant_Be_Faded]

it looked very close, and in that situation, it'll always go to the home team

[1Parker1]

:depressed

Pistons were due for a bad game. Pistons in 6. BELIEVE. :fro :lol

[DisgruntledLionFan#54,927]

it looked very close, and in that situation, it'll always go to the home team


It wasn't close at all. Evans went up, knocked it away from two Cavs defenders and on the way out it hit LeBron's hand.

Doesn't matter, they need to hit their open looks...

You think if it was LeBron going for the game winning shot and McDyess did what Sideshow Bob did, you think they would have let them play?

:fro

[Cant_Be_Faded]

Pistons wont play this bad ever again, look for a dominating performance in game 5

they made cavs D, and rebounding look GOOD :lol

[Cant_Be_Faded]

chauncey is going to be piiiissssed and will go awol from 3 land

[JamStone]

Not a good time to start sucking really bad as a team.

Thing is, Cleveland didn't even play that well, but it was better than the Pistons ... the Pistons really sucked the last two games, last two and a half games actually.

[ABDENOUR POWER]

Pistons were due for a bad game. Pistons in 6. BELIEVE. :fro :lol

Haha, sorry, I'm kind of a pessimist. :lol

[JMarkJohns]

The V-bookie "your bets" page says this hasn't been settled yet. Why?

Anyways, just bumping it up to call attention to it.
