I still dont wanna see these guys in the playoffs........they always play us tough

[witnessmoboobie]

Didn't play great but showed up when it counted. Its always nice to win in Detroit

[LoveThemCavs]

Horrible first 3 quarters and a great fourth quarter by the Cavs. Nice road victory. Orlando and Boston already won today, so it was important not to slip up today.

[TheOUTLAW]

LeBron referenced Tarrence Kinsey as one of the guys that we're waiting to get back. That should be the high point of his NBA career

This is what pisses me off about our loss to them in the palace in the last game..We have no business losing to this Pistons team.. They're simply not as good as we are, and it was disappointing to not defend them like we did in the last game..

It warms my heart to see the Pistons suck ass... Couldn't happen to a bigget bunch of douches...

We basically play the same game. However, I think we're better at it now. But yeah, they are going to be a tough out for whomever they play.

[Gordon Bombay]

good f'n final quarter there boys and two of the key guys down the stretch, gibson and varejao, have been two of the biggest idiots over the last couple games - solid rebound effort out of those two

love what mo(ney) brings to our team

oh and i can get the raptors game thread if no one has any objections...i should have it up sometime after the super bowl tonight

That is a bit uncalled for. Sure I hate them, but I do respect them eventhough I remember how they were when they were the better team (and that still sticks in my craw).

Mo's Money, Mo's Money, Mo's Money

Yeah, I know it's corny, but so am I.

You just know that Pistons fans hate the way this game ended.

Hate 'em...Wish nothing but the worse for them... Hope their franchise never recovers...

I can't hide my hatred...

[tundraknight]

Tuff game just as I expected. The Cavs sure do look paper-thin at the SG position with West and Kinsey injured. Figures Mike Brown finally gave Kinsey a chance to play and he got injured. I liked the energy he brought off the bench in the limited minutes he got.

No objections here. Glad to see you guys volunteering for some of them.

I was complaining during the game about Lebron as well (but after reading, not as much as some of you!)...but then you look at the final numbers and he had 33 points 8 assists 4 rebounds and almost shot 50%. We are def. spoiled now! Talking about setting expectations really high! Amazing part is he CAN get better, and it will be scary when he reaches his prime.

Ok that being said, does it feel like our offense has reverted back to last years? Our coaches have to tell Lebron to give the ball up and MOVE, he will get it back.

I saw a few comments about Sasha getting jobbed by the officials and I couldn't agree more. He gets zero respect from the officials, he drove hard to the rim today and got just one trip to the line. But then on the other side of the court, he moves his feet and he gets called for cheap fouls.

[Rise Against]

I enjoyed this victory to say the least.. Didn't like the effort in the first 3 quarters but damn, there is nothing better to witness than to make a comeback victory against one of your division rivals. I don't really know what you guys are complaining about though.. LeBron was keeping us in the game and those 3's pretty much sealed the deal. Great games by Mo, Z, Varejao, and Boobie during the 4th. Let's win the next 2 against Toronto and New York... Then we have a big game next Sunday against the Lakers at home.

By the way, does anyone notice that LeBron doesn't really jump when he shoots 3's? He seems more relaxed.

[RevMan26]

I agree on the Sasha no calls. He made a lay up and got hit hard by Sheed (I think), and there was no call. Also that foul on LeBron, when Iverson flopped and dove on the ground, that was a bs call.

[TheOUTLAW]

To be honest, nobody should have even been surprised by the way this game went. The Cavs were behind after 3 in the vast majority of playoff games 2 seasons ago and came back to take the lead in the 4th each time. It seems that that is the way that we play the Pistons.

Mo's Money, Mo's Money, Mo's Money

Yeah, I know it's corny, but so am I.

Actually, it was expected. I was shocked that we were up after 3 moreso than how the game ended. Coach Curry is too worried about feeding into the egos of our vets than to make the moves that will help us win. Pulling Stuckey/Amir from the game in the 4th cost us the game.

Curry rags on Amir all the time. He's not a star, but he's a servicable big who can rebound and block shots. He's high energy and makes all the nessecary hustle plays. But he'd rather lose with Dice/Sheed than win with Amir.

Unless Stuckey is scoring at will, he doesn't get to touch the ball down the stretch. The ball goes in Iversons hands and we lose with Iverson missing fadaway jumpers in the middle of traffic. Then if Stuckey does score at will, people get on his case about not being a "true point".

There is a good chance we end up being your first round opponent depending on which low seed we end up being before this big offseason.
