In a series that no one thought would go 7, Detroit dispatched Cleveland. The final battle itself was a letdown, but the war was one to remember and will probably fuel LeBron's fire for years to come. Much has been made of it -- and we'll add more cents on Monday's SBL with Yay Sports and Detroit Bad Boys -- but this is just about the funniest damn thing I think you'll see on the subject...

Two more Game 7s Monday night. I'm going with Spurs and Suns but rooting for Mavs-Suns or maybe even Mavs-Clippers. Just no more Spurs. Seriously, they make me want to go to sleep.

Update: Just saw this exchange on SportsCenter. What the hell was Mike Brown thinking?

"I've got to give the Pistons' defense credit, because they did a heck of a job on him, but fatigue sets in, too, and I'm sure after playing 48 minutes for six straight nights and then trying to do it tonight going against that team and that type of pressure, it wears you down. And it got to him a little bit tonight in the second half," Cleveland coach Mike Brown said. "He just ran out of gas."

James disagreed with that assessment, shaking his head and saying "No" when asked if he agreed that fatigue was a factor. But he did not elaborate, nor did he provide much of anything in the way of a detailed explanation as to what had gone wrong for him in the second half.

  Lebron James is a phenominal talent, but he reminds me of Michael Jordons first 5 years in the Chicago before they realized they needed a quality supporting cast to get them to the Finals and the rest as they say was history.
  
  Detroit is by far the top team in the East and they will dispatch of Miami and be in the Finals.
