Scott-Atlanta said:With 27 seconds remaining, The King James goes hard into the teeth of the Pistons defense and is fouled by Prince as he sinks the layup that rattles around the rim and in. He hits the free throw and the Cavaliers are up one, 89-88.
On the next trip down the floor, Larry Hughes is inserted for defensive purposes, but Rip Hamilton hits the biggest shot of his pro career over the top of him ? a 17 footer from the left wing ? to put the Pistons up, 90-89, with 4.1 seconds to play.
On what could have been the Cavaliers final possession of the 2005-06 season, Hughes inbounds to TheBron, who dribbles left and into a Prince, Ben Wallace double-team. With .8 seconds to play, the Young King James finds Larry Hughes waiting all alone along the left baseline.
Hughes loads, lifts and ? in what seems like an eternity ? nothing but net as his fallen brother looks down from heaven.
Hughes is mobbed by his teammates and 22,000 stunned spectators in Auburn Hills have no choice but to applaud the conquering Cavaliers and their vanquished Pistons.
Grown men across the world weep like their dog just died while they?re peeling an onion and watching ?Brian?s Song.?
This is America people. And in America ? sometimes, but not always ? the underdog wins. The good guy beats the bad guy. Sometimes Rocky Balboa beats Apollo Creed. / the columnist

:mj10:!I forgot to mention 1 player can't do it all.ldabdou said:This game is a trap! They set the line high to make a statement with Det. This is a Joe public line, meaning they set it high trying to tell you that detroit is going to win. In other words, they're forcing you to take the Pistons. I agree with you KOD on this one, I expected the line to come out @ 6. 3 for home court & 3 for ah just being the Pissers. Detroit is not the same team, they look frustrated and lost out there. Cle matches up well with them. This game doesn't matter if it's palyed at Det. or not. The league want's Leboy to be in the finals to help the leagues image. Out with the old in with the new. I'm just rambling and throwing things out off the top of my head. I just think the way Cle is playing and getting 9 is insurance.
