Ok, how about a real Cleveland/Detroit discussion

[kenneth9265]

Didn't the Cavs lose to the pistons near the begining of the season????

[Snakebites]

^Yeah.

We were playing better ball then, not really representative of how we've been all season.

I figured, even hoped we'd meet again after the two meetings we had 2 and 3 years ago. I just hoped it would be in the ECF as equals, not in a first round matchup.

Oh well. Thats life.

I thought the Cavs was playing better ball too back then, and I think it was because of Big Ben in line up. It seems that the Cavs started to lack in defense when Big Ben was got hurt...just food for thought....

[Rise Against]

I don't expect the Cavs take this Detroit team lightly, even if they are in the 8th seed. I am kind of expecting a sweep, probably 5 games at most and the finish at the Q.

detroit fan here, very much expecting the sweep. I did bet my buddy 20 dollars that boston would beat cleveland in the finals

You lost based simply on the fact that it's impossible for the Cavs and Celtics to play in the finals... Your buddy was probably well aware of this and figured that was an easy 20.00... He was correct.

wht about ECF?

i remember when lebron scored 25 streight points for the cavs thinking that flip sanders was the worst coach in the nba. curry has outclassed him.

its bad enough that this team was already declining, but on top of that we "play like strangers" as one of our better coaches would have said a few years ago.

i think the cavs will sweep because the pistons are that bad and because the cavs get the notion of trying every game.

atleast the tigers are having a better year than the indians.

Any bets on how many time Sheed if called for a tech in the series...?????
