A Reminder: The Cavs are in The NBA FINALS

Bud Shaw, we're sure there are loads of things that you are good at: packing hamburger patties for the grill, ripping open mayonnaise packets with your teeth, wearing funny glasses--just like we're good at opening beer bottles with a lighter, interviewing Brentwood and surrounding area residents--but sports writing is not one of those things, Bud. Nevertheless, this one brought a smile to our faces.

Oh, and Chauncey Billups, eat a dick, man. You lost. Deal with it. Everyone on the team cried at every whistle and blamed the refs for their losses. Guess what, Chaunc, you sucked. YOU are the reason this team lost. Not Eddie Rush and Bennett Salvatore, or Flip Saunders. This pompous prick, coming off of a series in which the Pistons would have been better off with Mateen Cleaves at the point, can't find it in himself to give the Cavs credit:

"I believe [we're better], I really do," Chauncey Billups said after a conference finals series in which the Pistons probably didn't deserve to win one game. "There's nobody on that team who is better than ours. And maybe I'm crazy, maybe I've got too much confidence in these guys, but I believe in us. I believe we're the better team.

"Did we back it up? No, we didn't. But I still think we're better."

Billups is a free agent, and after his poor series the talk is he'll have no serious option but to return to the Pistons, and probably at substantially less money than he was considering a month ago.

In addition to the assholes on the Pistons, there are an awful lot of people in the media who are more interested in talking about how bad the Pistons were than how good the Cavs were. The fact of the matter is, the Cavs should have won all 6 games in this series. They were the better team in all 6 games--the Pistons just played poorly for 6 straight games in the EASTERN CONFERENCE FINALS?!?!? There was another team on the floor, the Cleveland Cavaliers, forcing turnovers, contesting shots, getting rebounds, getting out on the break...that had a hand in making the Pistons look bad. Maybe they didn't have their A-game, but credit the Cavs for taking the A-game away, man.
