Game 6: Detroit @ Cleveland

[The_Man]

Can The Cavs close out the series or do the Pistons with backs to the wall steal one on the road? Detroit hasn't lost 4 in a row all year long, but they haven't played this bad all year long either.

I think Detroit will steal one here in Cleveland tonight and go on to win Game 7 at home on Monday to advance.

Detroit did not lose 3 in a row all season before this series either. The Pistons are outcoached and out played, the series ends tonight.

IMO the Cavs will lose the next 2 games.

If Lebron can keep his intensity up (which he may not because it's getting deep in the playoffs) then they'll keep advancing. However, I don't see how, and I'm not saying in its entirety, the one man Cavs team can compare to the balanced attack of the Pistons. If all the Pistons get involved (which is what they should've been doing the whole time but haven't) then the Cavs wouldn't have even see game 5. But this is the playoffs and crazier things have happened. IMO, Cavs in 7.

You're right they lost 3 games in a row for the first time all year in Game 5 at home Wednesday. Agree with them being out-coached. Larry Brown is clearly a better coach for Detroit than Flip Saunders.

Flip's teams always score points, but don't really play any defense. He gives them freedom to take the first open shot on offense if it's there. Larry's teams are more for defense. They play a lock down style defense and work as a team on offense to cycle and move the ball around for the high percentage shot.

I don't think Flip Saunders is all that great of a coach myself. Cleveland's head coach was an assistant under Larry Brown when Brown was in Detroit and I think he even won the ring with them. Maybe he has the know to know how to shut the Pistons offense down.

I think the series will end tonight. Cleveland is 3-1 SU at home against Detroit this year, they can get it done.

 

[Griffination]

Then they need to "git 'er dun"!!!!!!!

 

[TerrelOwens]

how are the cavs in this series considered a one man team when lebron is only avg like 25 points this series ???? others are getting it done as well

 

[hailtothechief]

At the very least cleveland covers tonight and maybe wins it to end series

I like CLE also. They just seem to have all the answers for DET right now. CLE has stretchs where they didnt play so hot in GM 5 and they still managed to pull it off.
