beno is going to torch him from the bench man.....
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.

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.
It's amazing how a guy can have one great game partly due to the fact of Detroit's larthagic defense and already they are praising this guy as the next Scottie Pippen. Amazing!
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.
that's cuz he doesn't know any better
I chalk this up to inexperience and low expectations. In the Piston series there were no expectations for this kid, thus, no pressure. Now, lets see how he responds to the pressure of expectation. Everyone will be watching him next round and expecting him to hit some shots.
I am a HUGE Boobie fan myself.

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.
I figure he will revert to his 4 ppg.
Boobie sags too much on the rotation... Horry open for three... BANG!! Lead goes back to 12 with 3:13 left on the clock...
LOL, you guys are pretty funny. You sound just like the Pistons fans, giving the Cavs players no respect until it is too late.
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.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.
I hate to break it to you buddy, but we rotate a of alot better than Detroit did. The only question I'm left with on you guys is how good is your defense really.
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.
only give credit to those who desearve it. Stick around and see if after game 4 your still singing the same song.
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.
PS- Cleveland's defense is top-notch. These guys play tight defense, the backcourt defends the perimeter very well and draws the offense in. The Cavs have two legit center, that means 12 fouls to throw at Duncan towards wearing him down, frustrating him and all that. 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 compe ion 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.
