Gameblog: Cavs vs. Pistons Game 2

April 21, 2009

 
 
Post mortem:  Cavs 94, Detroit 82
What’s the saying? Too cute by half?  Yup.  No way this game should have been that close, but with the Cavs’ second string in, the Detroit Pistons took advantage to open the fourth quarter, going on a 27-5 run before the starters re-emerged to put the game away – for [...]

Cavs vs. Pistons: Pre-game Notes

April 21, 2009

- This quote from Tayshaun Prince says a lot about the Pistons psyche when they go back to Motown and heaven forbid they go down 2-0:

Post mortem:  Cavs 79, Pistons 73
Observations:

For about a minute there even I thought this would turn out to be another Dallas Mavericks affair.  I should have remembered this is a Cavs-Pistons game.  These two teams love rolling around in the mud against one another.  Always have, always will.  That’s what happened tonight and if anything [...]

If you’ve been following the NBA playoff race at the bottom rung of the Eastern Conference, you’ll notice a small, albeit significant chance to standings.

Gameblog: Cavs vs. Detroit Pistons

February 22, 2009

Post mortem:
Someone on press row had to wake me when this one was over because the Cavs 99-78 win over the Pistons tonight was a snoozefest from the first quarter on.
The most excitement came toward the end of the game when fans wondered whether the team’s deep bench players would score the magical 100 [...]
