We're clearly the better team, but it takes a lot of other intangibles to go from simply being better to absolutely destroying a team like we did in game 1.

Not only was Cleveland exhausted from Washington, but we hit every shot we took - especially the 3's, and just every single thing went the Pistons way while nothing went Cleveland's way.

This time, I predict the Cavs will be less emotionally and physically exhausted, the Pistons will hit a lower pct. of their 3's, Tay won't score 24 points again off 1,000% shooting, and the result will be...

Pistons 101
Cavs 93

Players of the game: Chauncey Billups/Rasheed Wallace

Things won't be as easy as last game but still Cleveland was down 21 at half and was shooting above 50% so its not like they weren't doing bad either on the offensive end.

sheed's already shot a lefty in the first quarter. game's already over in his mind, lol.

i don't like the game at all. we did a horrible job with the double teams toward the end when they finally came hard on them. And Flip got in his asshole mood to run the same play time and time again when it wasnt producing points regardless of the matchup.

I'm glad we won, but we won't win either game in cleveland if we get lazy like that. I also didnt like the rotation. it seemed like he blamed the whole bench for mo evans getting two quick fouls.

seriously though not even Dyess got in the game much in the second half.

Also we are depending a ben a lil too much purposely letting guards go by us. bad execution and a sucky win. Hopefully we'll deal with that double team better next game.

They got soooo bored in this game. I've never seen a team that wanted a game to end after 3 quarters more then these guys did tonight. Can't say I blame 'em. It's like playing a WNBA team for them.

Agreed. This ending was very unsatisfying but I don't think I've ever had a harder time keeping a second round game on. Especially with Fratello and Mr. Nobody practically falling asleep on the broadcast.
