Larry Hughes sucks

[Antitrust32]

Missed that WIDE open 7 foot shot with a couple seconds remaining. I would have made that 9 out of 10 times, I dont care what the situation is. If I owned the team I wouldnt pay him for this game. Lebron didnt help the situation either, poor kid everyone's dubbing him as a choker and it may be getting to him. He needs to overcome this, he is the King.

Actually the players only get paid their salaries for the regular season. I dont understand why he felt the need to fade away on a 7 footer.

Yes but they get some cash for winning playoff series.
Detroit looks to be just messin around with the Cavs and getting away with it.

Cleveland is a bad matchup for Detroit. Pistons are 2 wide open, missed shots from being in real trouble. They actually match up better against San Antonio.

I was defending the coach, sir.




I forgot you liked the World B Free era better.




Perhaps they can dig up Jim Chones for you
-------------------------------


I know...as well as once again claiming James is the only reason they are where they are.....and at least one statement of yours has oddly disappeared.





By your measure the WBF teams would have won the title with James.








The Chones anchored team won a division...something that still eludes this one man team .











There are just a few more important things going on than the International Icon whose "business" interests excede these important matters.

Now they were out of timeouts, another mistake, but on the road in the playoffs, down 1-0, IMO you try and lengthen the game, not shorten it if you are down.

The Cavs got a shot from LeBron, a wide open 8 footer from Hughes, and a tip attempt from Verajao on that possession. What on earth more could you ask for??/ If Detroit gets the rebound there are 6 seconds left, and a quick foul and they do get a second possession. AFter 2 shots...a tip in and a Detroit rebound there were still close to 2 seconds left in the game when the foul was committed. The TNT guys are clueless and clueless at times. They are flat out wrong analyzing the last possession.

The shots they got were much better than if they throw the ball in and whip up a wild 3 pointer in 2 seconds just to lengthen the game.

Very true. They got a good posession. They got 2 very makable shots and a tip attempt. There surely could have been a foul called on Hamilton. Hughes makes the shot and everything is forgotten.

Cavs need a new coach. That guy has no idea what he's doing.

He has one all star, a couple of role players, no one that can create their own shot, not much rebounding, no offense off the bench except a stand still 6'11' guy and he is two tough plays away from being up 2-0 on the road in the conference finals. He probably should get coach of the year.

Yeah 12 point lead at the half and he decides to get Z involved. Lebron only takes 8 shots. Real good coaching.

He does not really have much to work with. Perhaps you missed the 2 guys coming over to help on Lebron?

HE's 15-10 in the playoffs the last two years with 3 series wins for a franchise that hadn't won a playoff series since 1993.

Actually he's 11-10. Anyone who counts the Washington series should never talk about the NBA again.

It was the playoffs. Should we discount the St Louis Cardinals as World Series champions last year because they weren't that good in the regular season??

15-10.

Yes because the Washington Wizards without two of their best players can be compared to a god damn baseball team.

Foul or no, he forced the play and I agree that it looks like he is having a hard time. Definitely part of the blame needs to be placed with the coach, one for that play call and two for not being as aggressive in the second half. The Cavs could and probably should be going home 1-1, maybe even 2-0.

There are no plays in the NBA that work.

But there are themes.

Into Duncan, no double team, make it happen by getting the hell away from him or cutting hard to the basket. Into Duncan, double team, kick it out.

Parker go to the hole. If they give you room, 17 foot jumper.

Ginobilli with 23 or less in a quarter. Clear out, let him go to the hole, get set for a kick out three.

And OMG the absolutely beautiful team defense. The switching is incredible. I dont have a clue as to how they are able to coordinate this so well.

Last I looked Clevelands three similar players for Duncan, Parker, and Ginobilli are named Ilguagkas, Snow, and Pavolvich. How is that for a theme?

And really Hoss, how can one not like an organization that has done what the Spurs have. We got lucky with lottery picks, and surrounded the players(Robinson and Duncan) with a good organization and teammates.

Note: Steven Jackson was a Spur who people really liked as a player but the organization knew off some tendencies the fans did not. I could not believe we let the guy go. This has happened a number of times before, Alvin Robertson, Willie Anderson... and then one understands after they are gone.

I like Popovich. One, because he is a saavy people person. And two, because he is ugly.

There are no plays in the NBA. Why is that so hard to understand? There is 20 seconds left on the clock. You isolate and look to kick out if they double. Execution is the problem. They got good penetration and missed an easy followup shot. What play would you have called? Who's number would you have called out?
