Couple things to note and remember:

- Cavs were down by 21 against Detroit during the recent meeting at home but came back to win it in the 2nd half.
- Detroit is playing on the second night of a back to back, just lost to Boston.
- Cavs play the Pacers the night after this game at home.
- Cavs are 29th in the league in free throw percentage. Detroit is dead last. Jamison is shooting below 40% from the line since he's been with the Cavs..
- Ben Wallace and Rodney Stuckey are probably out.
- The King will show that he rules the Prince and the Palace.




With that being said,







CLEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEVELANDDDDDDDDDD BASKETBALLLLLLLLLLLLLLLLLLL!

I just found out that Tayshaun Prince got injured playing the C's, so he may be out for this one.

Its amazing how bad this team got so quickly.

Hope the Cavaliers stay focused. This should be another 4Q rest game for the starters.

I would to have the Cavs be up 20 pts by the end of the 3rd qtr. Too bad Bassy is not fully healed yet, so that he would get a chance to play.

OMG! that would be the Sh*t if the Cavs could get back Coach Kuster as the Offensive Coach for the Cavs... I have all but forgotten about him going to coach for detroit. When he was the under Coach Brown the Cavs' offense was so much more efficient then it is now.
You have gave me whole new outlook for me to cheer for any and all teams the plays detroit! :rockon:

After the Z controversy, Kuester coming back to Cleveland while still getting paid by Detroit would be hilarious.

Kuester is not a bad coach, he's a Larry Brown guy and knows the game.. Sure, his rotations may be off and his in-game adjustments may not be the best, but he is a rookie NBA coach... Plus, he's coaching a steaming pile of hot garbage in Detroit....

Thanks to the greatest GM of all time, Mr. Joe Dumars, who is just a master of drafting all stars and hand selecting under the radar talent to make his team a championship contender... So much so, that this genius known as Joe Dumars took the summer of '09 and spent the cap space on two reserves who play no defense and are one dimensional players...

Have one with that, Coach Kue...

Delonte West out tonight in Detroit with sprained left knee. Precautionary, might play tomorrow vs. Pacers. Minutes for Gibson coming.

--------

Tayshaun Prince (back) will be a gametime decision for Pistons. Ben Wallace & Rodney Stuckey are out.
