A 12-point loss.  That is what the hopes of the Detroit Pistons hinge on, a 12-point loss in Game 2.  Why?  Because Detroit did trail 79-50 at one time in the 4th quarter before trimming the lead to 7.  The Cavaliers re-focused, however, and have vowed not to let it happen again.

That doesn't mean Game 3 is going to be easy.  Utah proved last night that a 1 v 8 series can get interesting.  Cleveland needs to play better than it has in either of the first two games and finish the Pistons off for good.

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

We got this game

7 point lead going into the second half? Yeah, we’ll pull this one out.

The Pistons' crowd is pretty tragic

Emptiest palace of auburn hills I’ve ever seen in a playoff game. Nowhere near as jammed packed as it was during the 2008 postseason. According to ESPN, Detroit was unable to sell out the game, and they’ve gone as far as inviting Cavs ticket holders to the game. If the Cavs get a blowout win tonight, maybe we’ll hear MVP chants for LeBron the way Denver cheered Kobe in game 3 last year.

Dead here too, huh?

I don't mind

Our game 1 and 2 threads had well over 100 comments. I’m used to quiet threads…our blog’s still pretty young. Besides, the Q had a huge crowd in both home games.

I wasn't knocking ya

I saw your first two threads. Must be because it’s Friday night. I usually just talk to myself in my threads. When did FTS start up? Q was rockin’ I’m ashamed of all the Pistons fans who didn’t show up to this game… I’ll blame it on the economy but our fans have been uncharacteristically disloyal this series.

I would have been here but my boy had a Little League game.

Bad timing but he’s the priority.

So I told her," I'll be nicer if you try to be smarter!'..That was a mistake.

CavsBlogger launched FTS at the beginning of the 2008 season

These are his threads. Dunno where he’s at tonight. I’ve filled threads up all by myself too—one time, Cleveland was playing the Sixers, and we only had 25 comments, but Liberty Ballers had hundreds. A Blazer fan even came on the site and teased me about it! Embarassing.

I’m headed to the local fitness center and watching the game there. See you later.
