Wow Detroit has one crappy looking journalist site. That article is so damn hard to read.

Not only did they call AV a "nobody", they didn't even bother posting his picture at the headline.

I have no problem with that article; it just makes me laugh. Anderson has stepped it up this series in a huge way, I'm as high on Varejao as anyone, but I didn't expect this type of offensive production from him, particularly against the Pistons. He surely doesn't have Z's talent on the offensive end, but he's ten times quicker, and he's probably the only Cav who has been unintimidated by the Pistons shot-blocking ability. He's fearless, we all knew that, but I thought it was only on the defensive (and offensive rebounding) phases of the game.
What cracks me up is that a Pistons writer lumps him in with Scalabrine. It's not as if Andy's been dropping in threes or anything. He's been hustling, going to the rack, exploiting weaknesses, and been the beneficiary of the defensive strategy employed against LeBron. It's no fluke. If you want to stop Varejao, you need to change how you defend LeBron.
Also, AV was certainly on the writer's radar before the series, if only because of his ejection in the last game against the Pistons. 'Sheed's role is to be cocky, not the writer's. If anything, he should have recognized the effect he's had on the Cavs all year by hustle. He's Ben Wallace-light, in their opinion.
Finally, if you had to find an improbable hero from last night, look no further than Cavs' "veteran leader" Eric Snow. Talk about stepping it up in the playoffs. Sure, they don't defend him at all, really. But he's not just shooting jump shots anymore. He's taking it to the rack, and by God, he's actually making layups! Shoot, forget about this season's propensity to miss layups, I can't mock him today after going 5-7 from the field. Dude stepped up.

Eric Snow is trying his damndest to help us win.....He is having some turnovers that are a concern to me but overall offensively he has stepped up and he is making Chuncey look bad at times

eh detroit is a piece of shit city, so i would expect and uneducated article like this. its pretty disrespectful, especially coming from the pistons, who is a team pretty much made up of outkasts from other teams and players with 2nd chances. it deffinitly makes the newspaper come off as ill-informed.

 

[The George]

ill informed and as cocky as Rasheed

ignorance feeds ignorance up in that city I guess

 

[Mac]

He is.

Hell, last night on sportscenter when he took that charge they said.."Alexander Varejao with the charge.

Maybe it's good that they aren't noticing him. Seems to be playing to our favor that they try to ignore him.

Detroit is a junker of a city, it looks all bombed out..think Hiroshima..

 

[crazedcav333]

WILD THING is awsome, and this is just a DET paper pouting over the loss. I've gotten a real clear idea of how they think of themselves and their sportsmanship.

 

[CornerThree]

Articles and posts on other boards pretty much come down to the following:

1. Pistons win cause they are a better team and the Cavs aren't in their league.
2. Pistons didn't execute, and had a poor game and that's why they lost.

Detroit fans are pieces of shit.

 

[Maximus]

AV is a nobody. As Mac said, they either don't know his name or can't pronounce it. The good news is he is becoming somebody.....bad news is we are going to have to pay him like somebody too. And the worst news - he hired the agent from hell in the last couple months.
