It's basically tradition at this point to get stomped by Lebron. Guy seemingly goes into another gear against us when most other teams, he just LeCoasts.

Nah... This was more of a flukey game. Cavs played the best game they'll play all year. Pistons can't play worse. Pistons on a back-to-back. Cavs rested, etc. Those aren't factors in the playoffs.

That said, we've gotta avoid the Cavs in the 1st round like the plague. Clearly these guys present some tough matchups.

They'll slow down late in the fourth and we'll pull it from a 40 point deficit to 30 :lol:

i know that SVG has said in the past that he doesn't like to play vets in blowout games, kind of like a "they deserve better" thing.


that and it would be a joke trying to watch him guard channing frye.

Well, so much for "this team never gives up". The cavs hit a few shots in the 1st and the pistons basically folded after that.

The only plus from this game was that SJ looked confident putting the ball on the floor.

The cavs didn't even pay attention to him, that's why he got so many open looks and chances to handle the ball.

The cavs don't have many lockdown defenders but they have a bunch of smart vets and they tend to game plan well. They 100% loaded up on the other four starters and left SJ to carry the offense, which he obviously couldn't.

Doesn't Lebron coming out like a man on a mission prove the exact opposite point of the article?
