How good were the Cavs and LeBron James in sweeping the Pistons?
ESPN provides these stats:
***The Cavaliers became just the third team to sweep a team by winning each game by a double-digit margin (1980 Celtics and 2004 Pacers).
***Mike Brown's teams are 5-2 in road-clinching playoff games. They had one playoff road win prior to Brown's arrival.
***James averaged 32.0 points, 11.3 rebounds and 7.5 assists. In NBA history, only Larry Bird and Oscar Robertson have averaged 30 points, 10 rebounds and seven assists in a playoff series.
***He becomes the second player in NBA history to score 1,300 points and have 400 rebounds and 350 assists in his first 50 postseason games. Oscar Robertson was the other.
Writes ESPN's Chris Broussard: "After six months of being dialed in, the Cavaliers aren't about to let up now. They may lose, but it won't be because they get complacent."
thanks for the article pat but no thanks. i'd rather fixate on a pathetic, losing franchise's draft choices than talk about a team with a realistic chance of bringing the first championship to cleveland since 1964.
I'm more concerned about catching that pig flu thing that's going around.
