Man I am sick and tired of all these writers saying that Daniel Gibson is going to torch us. First of all he left UT too early and is going to learn the hard way what DEF really is. Second of all they talk about him being the Xfactor 6 man....wtf we took out the 6th man of the year in Barbosa. Damn I cant wait for this series to be over and our riverwalk parade to start already.
beno is going to torch him from the bench man.....
Parker's going to school this guy so much it's not even funny.
I don't think that he will get any good looks from the 3. Parker would wear him down.

I will agree, it's only been one series for him; however, I AM impressed with how he's handling the pressure of the playoffs. Even veterans have crumbled at this point.
We'll see what happens this next round though.

I am a HUGE Boobie fan myself.
:eyebrows
Doesn't he disappear on the road like most rookies?
I have a feeling that most of the guards on my HS Basketball team coulda hit those wide open 3s that LeBron created for him.

San Antonio can't touch boobie.......
Gibson will ultimately sag - like most Boobies.Quote:

The thing that you guys fail to recognize is that Gibson is going to continue getting those open looks unless you are fixing to leave Lebron in single coverage all game long. Once LBJ makes his initial move to the basket he is too fast to be guarded by a forward, too powerful to be slowed by a guard, and too agile to be stopped by a center. This guy has got all the skills, and to be honest, SA's defense doesn't scare me nearly as much as the Pistons did. Lebron will penetrate early and score, and once the defense sucks in he will begin to get guys like Gibson and Gooden involved. Bottom line is, with Lebron leading the way the Cavs will be one step ahead. SA plays good defense but not as good as Cleveland's, and I know for a fact that the Spurs aren't going to out-tough the Cavs the way they did Phoenix and Utah.
Stupid.Quote:

Anyone who watched UT basketball knows that Parker is going to absolutely shred D-Gib. Gibson's defense isn't even close to where it needs to be to defend TP.
If Gibson starts and guards Tony, TP is going for 35+ every game.
so we have no answers for LEDORK ....i concede 50PPG.. (according to media) how the cavs gonna stop the SPURS?
And the Spurs don't play zone. Advantage: Spurs.

Maybe you guys rotate better but Detroit has plenty of length in their players that you guys don't. The Pistons feature a much larger lineup in terms of size and wingspan than the Spurs do, I may be wrong, we'll see, but on paper I am much more confident in the ability of the Cavs to score on the Spurs than I was against Detroit. It all comes down to the matchups, San Antonio doesn't scare me defensively, they aren't very large so I really expect Cleveland to control the boards.Quote:

More importantly, Anderson Varajao reminds me exactly of Duncan defensively with his quick footwork and always staying in position, he is a perfect fit for cutting down on the easy layups that Ginobli and Parker thrived on against weaker competition this postseason.
I can't wait for Thursday. Hope you stick around, BWJACKETS, when the Spurs are up by 20 in the 4th and LeBron fouls out.

Varajao is the ultimate flopper and the since the Spurs have at least three players that can "take over any basketball game" at any time, feel free to concentrate on Tim.
Parker is licking his chops to have Gibson defending him. That matchup is going to be a laugher...
Thas because your a homer. And your takes on basketball are garbage by the wayQuote:

Detroit kept getting into the middle portion of the lane, but couldn't finish with their close-range jumpers. Cleveland seems to pack the area just around the rim, but give up the area where Parker usually launches his teardrop runners. That's not a good idea, because he's inerrant with the shot. It doesn't help that Cleveland has no real shot blocker.Quote:

Lebron is going to posterize Duncan again and this time it will be really embarassing. The Cavs have been given no chance by the media since day 1 and they have fed off of it from the start. You and other's discrediting them is just feeding the beast, please keep it up. The fact of the matter is, Cleveland is already a great team with a championship-caliber defense and the best player in the world on their roster at 22 years old, and they're only going to continue getting better. Let's see what happens when the Spurs come in overconfident like yourself and find out that they are in a dogfight.Quote:

It's not gonna be easy for your team either. the spurs are the best the west has to offer; and they have Tim Duncan. the Pistons made the mistake of underestimating your team, but Pop will make sure his Spurs don't.Quote:

Lebron will get his, no doubt, but that's where the contest is going to end. I like Boobie, too, but those shots aren't going to have a chance with the Spurs.Quote:

"The-whole" outside shooting doesn't have to be, its that combined with rebounding, defense, timely-scoring, and a little Lebron magic. Over a seven game series against Lebron, which San Antonio has never done, your gonna realize there's gonna be a couple nights where it just doesn't matter what or how you do it. He'll beat you. His presence is good for two wins by himself from the start.Quote:

Once, against the Pacers. He also had 5 fouls twice. DamnQuote:

The only way Cleveland wins this series is if LeBron has four MONSTER games, not just huge, MONSTER. And even then its hard to imagine them beating us still.
