Cavs suck. Lets go out there and play like chicago on NBA jam

[Glenn]

I think the Cavs will get one game in the series, and it might be this one.

That being said, I hope we don't take it up the ol' poopshoot.

[Kstat]

Game's on ESPN I believe.

[starman91]

Hopefully that run in the 4th quarter by the Cavs helps motivate the Pistons for this game. If it wasn't for that run I would be almost certain Pistons would come out lazy in game 3.

[MOLA1]

10 games to go.

Let's hope we can end this shit quick.

In the words of Eminem, "A good old fashioned passionate ass whoopin."

Prediction: 105-87 Pistons

[Darth Thanatos]

We are all witnesses.

Witnesses to the Pistons destroying the Cavs on national TV again.

[Anthony]

Smash em early and often. Take the crowd out of the game and go after Lebron on the offensive end.

[MOLA1]

LMFAO @ Mike Brown if he thinks that he figured out a couple plays the Pistons run.

Hughes leaves Cavs after younger brother dies
Associated Press

CLEVELAND -- Cavaliers guard Larry Hughes left the team Thursday to be with his family in St. Louis following the death of his brother.

Justin Hughes, 20, died early Thursday, Cavaliers general manager Danny Ferry said in a statement. Justin Hughes was born with a heart defect and had a heart transplant 10 years ago.

No timetable has been set on Larry Hughes' return to the Cavaliers.

Cleveland trails Detroit 2-0 in the Eastern Conference semifinals. Game 3 is Saturday at Cleveland.

"Right now, basketball should be the furthest thing from his mind," teammate Damon Jones said. "He has to be there for his family. They're going through a trying time right now. If he's able to get back, that's good. if he's not, were going to continue to keep him in spirit in our hearts."
