That's kind of how I saw it, too. Pistons got lucky, though, as the Cavs had two good looks at the end there and didn't convert on either. I give the Cavs credit for their D (especially on Tay) but it almost seems as if the Pistons took their best punch and still got up.

Where is this super-charged offense that Flip was supposed to bring in as coach?

Glad Delfino did not come back in. He was a boy among men out there. Nice recovery by CWeb in the second half.

Antonio, wakey, wakey.

My favorite moment of the night: When Urkle Sr. screamed at Pavolvic for leaving CNote open on that 3. Seven turnovers for Billups tonight. What?

Pistons really dodged a bullet tonight. Game ball goes to Sheed. 15 points, 12 boards and 7 blocks. The guy is locked in.

If I had nine lives, I lost one tonight.

Nice post-game by Sheed on TNT...the mouth piece of the Pistons

Magic is the worst interviewer ever. Howd he get a TV show?????Anyway, James ' stat line was wierd. 10, 10 and 9 great! No FtA's and no 3's? Hope the league wasnt watching!

Good post Gazoo. LOL @ "Urkle Sr."

I kinda think people are taking the Cavs a bit lightly though. Yes, we are better, but they aren't in the conference finals by pure chance. I think this was a great reality check for the players & fans. I hope so anyhow.

I'd give the game ball to Rip. Sheed was terrific on D all night, until that last play where he almost cost the Pistons the game.

God what an annoying team I love. Absolutely irritating in their inconsistent efforts. They're like the boyfriend you know you should leave, but just when you are about to tell him he seems to have a sixth sense and does something real sweet...like Games 1 and 2 against the Bulls. Then it's back to business as usual. More Neglect. Sigh.

Congratulations Pistons on this win in your erratic march toward...a championship.
I'm with you all the way. Got my chalk x's on the sidewalk, the whole apartment decorated in Pistons red, white and blue. Basketball cards danging from the ceiling, red white and blue M and M's. The works.

Now give me a decent show. Try to live up to my faith in you and let's not do this caliber of game again. Your disinterest pains me, and is why you have very quiet fans in your own home.

Thanks you very much, Your Loyal Fan Kimberly.

P.S. Thank God for Rip Hamilton.

Count me as one of those people.

I was really surprised by the Cav`s defense on the Pistons pick n roll early. It really confused CB, and their rotations was on the money.

I hope Flip recognizes, and adjusts accordingly.

Charles is soooo right about Lebron. I saw Charles dribble the clock out against David robinson and hit a 3 in his face. Magic would have shot. Larry. Air, Zeke, Vinnie. All the great ones SHOOT! Like me. I would have shot.

They recognized and adjusted right at the start of the 3rd quarter, with that 9-0 run in the first 90 seconds. But CB never really got it going.

Mike Brown and the Cleveland reporters really working the LBJ didn't shoot FTs angle.

We're gunna get murdered by the refs next game.
