Something about a Cavs-Pistons first round series just doesn't sit well with me.  I'd rather send them home in mid-April instead of trying at the end of the month.

After getting embarrassed by the Cavaliers the last time the two teams played, I am looking for the Pistons to play alot harder tonight.

Talk about the game here in the comments! They Auto-Refresh, bringing an awesome game night experience!

Back and forth we go, and the Pistons force the Cavs to call another timeout. The Cavs do not want the Pistons to gain confidence, especially in The Q.

Cavs get their first lead of the night. Despite McDyess coming back with a score of his own, the Cavs are playing much better defense.

Sheed is a moron

I hope the Cavs can pull this off but if not I will not worry at all. Maybe just a bad night even the 90’s Bulls had a few clunkers.

Lebron

destroys the Pistons. He might have started slow tonight but he is putting this game away.

Lakers down 11 now

with less than 2 minutes to go.

We could pick up a game on the Lakers and the Bobcats could cut the Pistons lead on the 8th place spot.

Lakers are losing

again tonight. Cavs win here and they will wrap up home court.
