I'm so pumped man, It's been too long since I've got to watch my team in the playoffs.

Really wishing we would have gotten that 7th seed now cause the Raptors are choking again.

I have to work and am going to miss it. I'll DVR it and watch it later. Let's hope the game thread is better than the regular season threads.

Time to see what this team is made of. If we can fight and keep it close and give ourselves a chance to win in the final 5 minutes I think that is about all you can ask for going into Cleveland... try to give ourselves a chance to steal one of the games and come back to Detroit tied 1-1

Yep... Would have been a great opportunity. Hope we can shock Cleveland too though

WE THE NORTH. WE WANT DETROIT BECAUSE ITS A HOME GAME.

Home. Away. Apparently it doesn't matter.

Don't have a good feeling about this at all. Could be a 20 point loss. Don't trust Stan to bench SJ and unleash Jodie Meeks

I'm excited for this game ladies and gents. It's been awhile since we've seen any post season action. I can't wait to see how our guys react. We know Reggie has played well in the playoffs before. I'm hoping this will bode well for guys like KCP and Morris and put a chip on their shoulder.

I just hope they are not too nervous and get off to a good start.

I've noticed Drummond really likes the spotlight and I expect him to come out strong today. Reggie is the one we need to be really aggressive. We are deadly when Reggie is attacking and scoring.

This game is on national television so if we keep it within 10 it's a moral victory.

As long as we don't get destroyed like Dallas or Houston did we will be fine

Hopefully someone puts a NBA FINALS banner on top of the Quicken Loans Arena, so Coward Bald start to shoot like he was Mbah a Moute.

Cavs have some really bad individual defenders, especially with Shump hobbling, look for Harris/KCP/Rjax to exploit that. Predict a 102-97 loss, Reggie puts up 29/9 but Lebron drops 37 and flirts with a triple double
