royce59 0 Report post Posted April 5, 2007 this may sound stupid but i would rather play the pistons in the first round, this is because lebron would torch any of our players, however we can match the pistons man fo man without any mis-matches. Jameer would guard either billups or hamilton, whilst dooling guards the other, ariza would guard tayshaun (a mathcup in our favour!), darko would have rasheed, and dwight would have either chris webber or mohammed ( he would kill both). Even if we do lose th series it may wake the players up and just show them how hard they really have to work to achieve a good playoff berth, and contend in the post season!!!!

davcivic 11 Report post Posted April 5, 2007 Yes but the records don't lie......Matchups might be better but still Detroit is the better team. Another thing is playoff and championship experience. The playoffs are a different game. Detroit is a proven champ. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

~O~ 565 Report post Posted April 5, 2007 Actually, we would torch Lebron. 2-1 in the seoson series so far. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
Skywise316 211 Report post Posted April 5, 2007 You guys are either nuts or underestimating Detroit. Point is, what does Cleveland have besides Lebron? The occassional good game from Larry Hughes? Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
MagicmaninMiami 0 Report post Posted April 6, 2007 Unfortunately I don't see (barring injury) us catching the Nets. I could see a four straight games loss to Detroit. The only good thing about it is that playing them means they don't get a lottery pick from us. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

Could you imagine Jameer against either one? Jameer couldn't play defense on the magic dancers. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
