This means the Cavs have won the series by 4-2 and will play MANU's and OBERTO's San Antonio SPURS in the final.<BR/> <BR/>Once again Flip SAUNDERS showed a lack of faith for CARLITOS as he only played for about 4 minutes and posting just one rebound.<BR/> <BR/>DELFINO has been unlucky for the second year in a row after losing the Eastern Conference Final last year to eventual winner Miami HEAT.Johnhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/02838964451459226837noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-29878545.post-70250478140201311882007-06-02T21:23:00.000-07:002007-06-02T21:23:00.000-07:00First and foremost it wasn't the most idealistic s...First and foremost it wasn't the most idealistic scenario to test the understanding of the team.<BR/><BR/>But MESSI did gave some good impression that he is ready to take up the playmaker role. As for CARLITOS, his work rate is just simply fantastic. CRESPO didn't look sharp up front.<BR/><BR/>From my point of view the midfield line up could have been improve if MASCHERANO was given the starting role instead of CAMBIASSO, as I felt for most the time he drifting towards the left side position. There no point in blaming the defence as the equaliser looks to be suspicious as STRELLER was in an offside position before he strike the goal. I will credit to LUCHO for his performance on right side but MAXI (if he was 100% fit) would have done a much better job.<BR/><BR/>Overall it wasn't a bad performance and but certainly not a good one. COCO still has a lot work to do.Johnhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/02838964451459226837noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-29878545.post-31702422427034906382007-06-02T13:37:00.000-07:002007-06-02T13:37:00.000-07:00Yes,too bad.

Not a very exciting match as a result.johnnyhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/00322074221832626021noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-29878545.post-71579211403069902912007-06-02T13:28:00.000-07:002007-06-02T13:28:00.000-07:00FT: Switzerland 1 - 1 Argentina.

AIMAR and MESSI are both playing so I don't know who's taking the play-making resposibility.Sebahttps://www.blogger.com/profile/09584249588879160704noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-29878545.post-55786941996454915532007-06-02T12:45:00.000-07:002007-06-02T12:45:00.000-07:00Goal !!!!!Beautiful cross from Messi and a Tevez h...Goal !!!!!Beautiful cross from Messi and a Tevez header !
