The Cavs have had more turnovers in first half of the 3rd quarter than they'd had all of the first half of the game.

Tons of turnovers in the third as usual. Not to mention the refs have given into the whiny Pistons bunch. 10 fouls in the third quarter alone.

We had no business losing this game...Very disappointed with the overall focus, especially in that 3rd quarter..

What was the deal with walking up the floor and throwing lazy passes that an 8th grader could pick off ?? :-? Zero focus tonight... And LeBron looked like he quit mid way through the 2nd quarter...

This should have been an easy win, and they could have had the next two days off to chill...Poor overall effort in that 2nd half...Pistons are good, but they're not 11/12 shooting good...

On to the Hawks...

It's never good when you have an assist to turnover ratio of 1. But, eh, it was the second night of a back to back. I hate them especially when we are playing a good team on the second night.

Disgusting second half by the Cavs. Streaks don't last forever though. Regroup and onto the next one.

Both guards were in foul trouble tonight... Although, Mo got two cheap ones where Iverson falls over...

I was really counting on us going undefeated for the rest of the season. I hate losing especially to a team that we are capable of beating even on their floor. But it is what it is

Recap from tonight:

1) Turnovers

2) LeBron plays like sh%t

3) I hate the Pistons more than the Steelers and Wolverines

4) Cavs still need one more piece before Im convinced they are Championship material......and no Dice isnt going to cut it.

Outty-

I, too, was hoping the Cavs would be the first team to win 80 games in a season... Next year I suppose... *sigh*

I think tired legs caught up with us in the 2nd half. Major drop off in our guys play which is what you expect on the 2nd night of a back to back where the Pistons had 3-4 days rest.

I thought we had enough cushion to hold on but it wasn't happening.

When Lebron sucks ass like he did tonight we don't have a chance regardless.

Worst thing about this loss is we will have to hear it from the DET fans and the Gen Board haters about how our record is overrated.

BTW, I know we all hate him and hope his goldfish are dead and floating belly up when he goes home, but, I would love to have Sheed as our short term answer at PF next season... He and LBJ would work perfectly together...

That's because most of the idiots around here don't know basketball. But it's okay. I just want the playoffs. I have no doubt that we can beat about any team when we focus. That just doesn't happen during the season. Let the Pistons have their season wins as long as we have the ones during the playoffs.
