LEBRON

Listen closely my fellow sports fans, Lebron was simply dazzling last night. He had his way with the same team that dismantled the Magic and made the Bulls seem like an after thought, and he did it on the road, in a hostile environment, with no competent teammate and the killer instinct that has only been seen in players named Jordan and Magic. Yes, ladies and gentlemen Lebron was simply that good, but I have something else to relay to you. I did predict Detroit would win game five and they did not, but MAKE NO MISTAKE, Detroit WILL win game six. You can throw all the Lebron comments you want at me, his amazing performance, his will to not let the Cavs lose and I will simply say that, while Flip Saunders and Mike Brown are auditioning for most incompetent NBA coach in the league, Mike Brown is the champion. Eric Snow playing in crunch time? No set plays for Lebron? and my favorite, not having Lebron bring the ball up the court? Everyone and their mothers knew that in both overtime's Lebron would have the ball, so why not get it into his hands as soon as possible. And let us not forget, these Pistons have underachived and I am not going to count out Chauncey Billups, Rip Hamilton, Rasheed and Tayshaun in a must-win game. One of the things that went almost unnoticed was the ease in which Chauncey Billups hit those two Free Throws in overtime to tie the game at 100 with under five seconds left to send it to Double Overtime. In the end, the fact remains that this Detroit team is better than any at overcoming adversity and of course the silver lining is that this same team minus Ben Wallace and plus Chris Webber and Jason Maxiell was in the EXACT SAME POSITION and guess what transpired? The Pistons took game six in Cleveland and then came back to the palace to finish off the job. Is Lebron older and more mature? Yes. Did he learn from last year? Yes. But is his surrounding cast as incompetent as it was last year? Yes. Lebron can score 50 in game 6, but the fact remains that Detroit knows it is going to take another Herculean effort by Lebron to win game six at home, and I do not predict that happening.
