Whoa..Wait..

I was 5 when Bird vs Wilkins happened...like 3 to be exact...But unlike alot of people that are my age..I've watched that game in its entirety to make the comparison of Lebron vs Pierce yesterday..and I'll say this...while it wasnt the spiting image of what happened in the late 80s..it was pretty close..

At one point in the 4th quarter I thought lets just get these 8 guys out of the way,they take up too much space anyways and they arent trying to shoot....lets get Lebron vs Paul one on one going...

The game seemed in the bag for Boston..but then Lebron had that flash of against Detroit last year..and I think the entire world at one point said this "Uh oh...here he goes"

But somehow it wasnt enough...the one man heroics didnt work...people like Damon Jones and Wally came up lame with missing big shots and Lebron even missed a late free throw to seal it..

Everything I've heard thus far has Detroit beating Boston because of how Boston has been playing.....but I think in sports we have waaaaay to short of a memory...can someone please consider that Detroit is the original fraud in east these past few years?.....Vs Miami 2 years ago?....Vs Cleveland last year?....come on...these are series in which they have been the easy favorites in and somehow lost..convincingly mind you and I dont even think they went 7 games...so if you are going to pick the Pistons to beat the Celtics...just know they have a history longer than 2 series like Boston.

Houston's Lance Berkman is hitting everything in sight...much like Chipper Jones in Atlanta....its crazy really...but one thing is even crazier is this....why arent teams walking them?....same thing with Albert Pujols...he should be walked alot more than 41 times out of 157 at bats.Thats just shows you how feared Barry Bonds was...he was intentionally walked 120 times in 2004...which is alot in itself...but consider he was walked 232 times that entire season..mind blowing how much people didnt want him to hit because how great of a hitter he was...
