I pointed out in Chat that the Pistons let up on the Cavs late in the second quarter and got the usual "homer" response. The team clearly lost focus in the 4th. No reason for this to happen. Sometimes the pressure is on the better team to perform at their superior capabilities. Despite the Cavs being down 2-0, the pressure is on the Pistons to avoid a Game 3 collapse like they did against the Bucks. This team looked absolutely lost in the final quarter. And why is James allowed to tiptoe into the paint, receive a light foul and then get an FT? Foul the guy hard! Just go for the ball. He's going to get every call anyway. Geez, at least try to prevent the hoop.
