But the Cavs played 10 players ... does that make you feel better ?

What's up with Mo Williams?

He must really be injured.

 

[Mecca of the “B” Team]

Please stop shooting, Tobias.

yup -- he must be really hurt.

It does help Lue a little -- because if he likes Delly's defense -- I'm not sure how many minutes MoWill would get.

Shumpert's shooting has been bad. Love the D -- but he has to be able to make a shot to get many minutes.

Why is this even a close game? 1st seed vs 8th seed?

Are the Pistons really good for an 8th seed or are the Cavs not that dominant as the first seed?

Love the look lebron gave Morris.

Yep.

If they could morph Jr and Shump into one player, they'd be in business.

But, they are gonna need Shump if they face the Warriors in the finals.

Nobody is stopping the splash brothers.

But, Damn...try to slow Klay down if you can.

I just don't want Delly to hurt Steph.

He's not dirty. But, he's reckless.

Yes to both.

Cause all the Cavs do is shoot 3s.
If they miss a few Pistons can temporarily close the gap.

Probably a combination of both

Even though they're not a great 3pt shooting team.

If you are watching Cavs-Pistons ... watch Lebron & Morris chat. I think Lebron senses someone who is mentally weak ... he knows to work on those guys.

The Cavs may have almost had the perfect storm last year vs. the Warriors. They may have been a better team as slow-down/Def team vs. the Warriors. Irving/Love are much/much better players ... but to slow down the Warriors ... Delly/TT may be a better matchup.

I feel bad for the Pistons that they have Blake running their offense.

He's just

If this is true I wonder why it didn't work during the reg season.

Right now, they are falling for LeBron.

The Cavs are 16-29 from 3. Do you think they should shoot more 2s ?

Ummm YES!!! That is what their guys do best. They need to play according to their personnel.

No.
3's are their game.
However, it's a streaky proposition, so if you miss a few, a lessor team can hang around.

 

[LAD]

Cavs running away with this one...

 

[CodeBreaker]

JR Smith doesn't miss LOL

 

[CodeBreaker]

Now he starts missing...
