yeah I am master of no excuses but… I guess I need to learn how to use the backspace key!

Love the site Cav! keep it up! You would be #1 on my “blogroll” if I used a 3 column page, but since I’m being cheap I am forced to basically use whatever wordpress allows so now I’ll have to go with the ocean mist 2 column hurting…

Boney is the master of the “no excuses, but…” followed by multpile excuses.

You don’t see how either team looks beatable when neither are playing well? Ok. Can’t help you.

Chauncey shot 37 percent in the 2006 series. He’s sucked 10 games in a row.

Actually, with as good as the Cavs played in Game 3 just remember they didn’t win the game until the closing minutes, and you don’t have to admit it, but that fall away jumper Billups hit to make it a 84-82 game with less than a minute to go in the game had some of you saying “oh no, not again!”. The games were all 3 played close so far, so either team could be down 3-0 at this point in the series. It’s not like either team has played spectacular up until this point, so I don’t see how either of the teams look “beatable” when the other team hasn’t at least put all the pieces together to totally dominate 1 of the 3 games played in this series.

CLE’s going to have to play their best game tonight, otherwise it’s going to be a 3-1 series deficit going back to DET.

But hey, what do I know, I’m just a Pistons’ fan.

Ah yes, the Pistons magic brick-several-shots-consecutively-and-snag-the-long-rebounds strategy. I don’t recall that being offered as THE excuse so much as it was cited as a frustration.

Why do you keep asking for excuses? That’s weird. Are you talking about last year? When the Cavs didn’t get an important rebound in game 6? I don’t think that’s so much an excuse as it is an admission of fault. We’re all pretty good with the fact that DeeeTroit Basketball was more powerful than our Cavaliers last year, we were shocked as hell that they almost stole that series from the Pistons.

This year the Pistons look beatable. They were very fortunate that the Cavs are a bad shooting team and couldn’t hit the wide open game winners at the Palace (again, not an excuse, a point of fact). The Pistons players keep going on about how badly they are playing and that they aren’t playing well and their level of play has been not good. That sounds like excuses to me. The fact is Detroit is lucky to be winning this series and the Cavaliers are poised to even it up if things stay as they are. I guess that means we can just count on Sheed saying something like “We just ain’t playing good!” after tonight’s game is over. No excuses though, right?

Actually the excuse for it going 7 was that your guys couldn’t rebound the basketball, right? What’s the excuse going to be when you don’t win this series? you’ve never been this far?

We all keep forgetting Chauncey Billups is one of the legendary Greek gods and not just a shoot-first PG who fell into the right system after being horrible for the first 5 years of his career.

I thought there was no way he could suck for three games in a row, but here we are. Nothing is impossible! I say if we can put a man on the moon, then Chauncey Billups can suck four games in a row.
