I thought the game was over early by seeing the way we were missing shots and playing.Your last paragraph says it all that's what we do to other teams and the Cavs turned it around on us.Games like this happen we've seen it time and again maybe I had my rose colored glasses on during the Miami game but the way we were playing you knew nothing they did or whatever run they made we would answer.

The Cavs were the better team today.Will they beat us in a series?No way no how.Unless Evans is on the playoff roster then we will lose in the first round.

Have to respectfully disagree, first Delfino did play pretty good D, and considering it was against LeBron, that's pretty darn good.

2nd, I agree people shouldn't just be looking for flaws from peoples game, sometimes guys do play well, and people still keep criticizing them. Hmm, like maybe Delfino? Evans has played poorly lately, and deserves every bit of criticizm, when he plays better, I'll be there supporting him, and talking about how well he plays.

Last year Pistons lost both games in Cleveland 76-91 and 76-92. Second loss was in March when the Pistons were playing well. The Pistons won the one game at the Palace 81-69.

Pistons have some trouble with the Cavs. When James is able to command a double team and the other players are making plays they are tough. Then Illgauskaus can use his height against our much shorter players and Gooden usually crashes the glass. When you get a game like that when players are not hitting shots they usually make - forget it.

Doesn't mean anything for this season. Clev is still to inexperienced and have proven again and again that they cannot win big games on the road. Until they can do that they are not a real threat.

Maybe it was part of a wild NewYears Eve but did I see everybody hugging KingJ? If there is one guy that could do what MJ did, stop a Piston Dynasty, it's KingJ. Maybe 5 or 10 years from now but we don't need to be respecting KingJ! KingJ-----> <---Tay
So the mood was set: King J love fest. Flip lost this game. If you want to work your bench why against the best player at home and why use bench guys on him. That's a harsh learning curve. If we wanted this game our starters would have to play 40 plus min., and I got no problem with that. Take the W.
Did we once take the ball out of KingJs hands?

We want to see the bench developed so you can't say, well we've seen enough and cut the guy off. He has to have and get rhythm like everybody else. Just "COACH" them in sits. to win.

the refs gave lebron his birthday present by making horrible calls that game against the pistons game. with the loss and the spurs win we are only up 1.5 games again. this team has yet not lost consecutive games and it should be fairly easy to keep it that way for now with our next game at home against orlando.

What if they want to go love fest with Hill? I'll be happy with a 20 pt win or a 8 pt win with heavy bench.

Just to make sure I've got this right?
356 says most of the problems in this game related to Evans's 12 minutes ()... and Delfino is the defensive answer to Labron?
Ok that's all I need to confirm BBall IQ.

Could it be that most of the players played poorly... or is it worth 5 paragraphs on a bench player?

New resolution ... put Lee on ignore list (too bad the Det News didn't have this feature).

The first two drives by James were carries, pure and simple. You could hear our guys bellyaching about it. And James with an expression of "what are you talking about." He cleaned up his act after that, but those two bad calls helped give Cleveland that initial 16-11 lead.

i tried to put you on my ignore list, but found out its not possible since you are a moderator. So please do me the favor and do not comment on my posts further. I really don't need the harassment.

i really don't care about beating the bulls record as long as the pistons get the best record. because as a fan it's kind of fun seeing if your team will make history, but i just want this team to get homecourt. it would so much easier to win with the best fans behind you unlike our last 2 runs.

i think we did poorly because we had a big homestand, and then the team went on the road for one game and it slovwed them down. in the pistons 3 previous losses they beat there next opponent by an average of 15 points, hope the trend continues.
