KingJ could get some Jordan Rules but everybody else must go down and they must go down hard. Damn I can't believe I've resorted back to goon ball.
Pistons--100
KingJ----30
Cavs----60

it's got to be closer than that. 82-74 Pistons!

This game will be some intense basketball, with Clev. coming off two horrible loses may come out and take a double digit lead to start the game. Detroit again will have to protect the energy plays the Cavs feed off of and stop dribble penetration by Lebron, make them all jumpshooters.

This game in the 2nd half will take on the same tone as the Indy game on thurs. where the Pistons will make a run and put the game away, but make no mistake about it this will be a hard fought game by the Cavs.

This is an important game for both teams, Detroit might see this team down the road in the playoffs and they want to send a message that they are a better team and leave no doubt in the minds of the Cavs. This game is important to the Cavs for the fact that they don't want another cave in 2nd half to their season.

My prediction for this game is Detroit 98 to 91. GO PISTONS!!!!!

Game chat is open now, I'll see y'all around noon.

Thank you for another great season!

I am really hype for this game as I think it will really have a playoff atmosphere. Being nationally televised doesn't hurt. I think we will get the best from Lebron and the best from our starting 5 today.

This is truely a barometer game that will guage Cleveland's legitamcy as a playoff threat and our dominance in the East.

Pistons 105 - Cavs 89

How many times has the Pistons defensive rotations left the open man at the corner for a 3-pointer? Their lucky the Cavs are not making them.

Ben was a freakin beast today. The team always does well when they get the big guy going early.

great game- Ben was huge!
Also it was interesting to see how big Dale Davis is, he's going to be a solid contributor of the bench.
The bench did ok, but nothing special- Evans was better than his stats show, very energetic, especially on the offensive board- good hustle. Seems he feels Finos breath in his neck.

the bench didn't play great, but i think Flp was going for pure minutes for davis, hunter and evans, even though they werent necesarily in with the right people to maximize their potential.

Flip Murray would have been a nice fit off the bench.
