Charles Barkley said "Cleveland outplayed Detroit in all 4 games of the series. They should have won the series 4-0 already or at the very least be up 3-1"
Charles Brakley has never ever said anything good about the Cavs this season, even from game 1 of their season. This is the first positive comment he has probably ever publicaly made about the Cavs. So it MUST be true, right?
I completely agree, the Cavs should be resting up for the Spurs already. Detroit's luck runs out here. They are done, Cleveland in 6.

Barkley is a blow hard who doesn't do one minute of preparation for his work. He just shows up and gives his opinions, quite frequently without any factual basis. Even though he can be entertaining and provocative, he obviously has his personal favorites (like Phoenix, since he lives and played there). So I take what he says with a grain of salt.
The Cavs did outplay the Pistons in games one and two, but if they would've won one or both of those, don't you think the Pistons would've come back with a sense of urgency and won a game in Cleveland? Never underestimate the power of having your backs against the wall! I'm pulling for the Cavs, but still know the Pistons will punch back the next two games. Go Cavs!

I totally agree with you on one thing, Cleveland did outplay Detroit all 4 games. But mind you, Detroit won two of those games fair and square, you can't take that away from them. Saying that says a lot about how good the Pistons really are. Any other Eastern Conference team would of been swept this series. The Cavs are going up against the best team in the East who are not playing their best "A" game and yet the series is tied 2-2. One of two things is going to happen. 1, The Pistons are going to wake up and realize that the Cavs are serious, and begin ton play true Detroit basketball in which if that does happen this series will be over in 6 with the Pistons winning the next two. Or, the series continues to be a grind it out dog fight and it is a toss up in 7 games with both of the two teams being capable of winning. Worst case scenario, I would give detroit the edge due to thier experience and deeper line up. And lets get back to reality...both teams won thier home games, SO WHAT. Thats what thier suppose to do. Cav's have to win one in Detroit, and they havn't did that once this year. Detroit still has home court and I'm sure thier going to use that to their advantage.

I think Detroit barely won their first two games and absolutely lost the two after that. Cleveland should have already won the series. Due to some mistakes they didn't but it should have been a done deal.
All this Pistons D talk and it seems like the Pistons can't hang. They're barely getting in the wins. If they were as good as people say. There would be no competition. Especially with our lil 1 man team as they say. 1 man creating so many problems for the #1 team on the East. That's just sad.
Go Cavs!!!!!!!

"They SHOULD have won the series 4-0 already or at the very least be up 3-1"
but they aren't up 4-0 or even 3-1.. it even, 2-2. so stop living in the past man.. if those "shoulds" matter.. maybe ehlo SHOULD have blocked or bothered mj enough with mj's "the shot" for your cavs to win that year.. i still say this is a must see series.. but detroit is a more experienced team and just like last year, they'll be beat the cavs this series..

What up l. a. lady, Barkley lead the Suns to the NBA Finals in 1993 yet they misplaced in 6 video games to Michael Jordan's Bulls. Barkley additionally won the league MVP that twelve months and that became into an somewhat proficient Suns squad however the Bulls have been the Bulls with MJ. Charles is fairly of a hater- yet he's likewise very old-college and the Lakers have been fairly non-chalant in the playoffs. Charles i think of has continuously been fairly of a hater- his group could have made it to the finals maximum of greater circumstances- yet they did run into the Lakers somewhat some circumstances. on the top of his profession he had a huge gamble to sign with the Lakers for a shot at a hoop yet opted to not.

If the Pistons do not win game 5 they are done. They will have to conjure up some magic to do it but it worked in games 1 & 2. I don't think it will happen.
If they lose Thursday then their run is over. And it's now or never, this year is their last chance. Billups is gone in free agency. Webber is probably gone. Wallace is a grumpy old man. Next year they will be third in the division. R.I.P.

Cavs in 6. Detriots has gotten two breaks and they will need more than that now that Lebron has started dominating the 4th quarter.

Charles only mentioned mere facts. Cleveland should have won game 1 and 2 if not for the officiating.
