Don't be surprised to see these Pistons give the Cavs some trouble. They're not a good matchup for Cleveland. After they get their nerves out, this could be a much closer series than many are claiming it will be.

HAHA the NBA refs already helping out the Cavs in the first quarter. They didn't call a three point foul on Lebron blatantly knocking down Morris, and then Kyrie Irving does the two-step with no travel call.

And another phantom foul for Lebron. I don't even know why I try and watch the Cavs.

Now the announcers are even talking about how biased the refs are and how Lebron should already have two fouls against him. Van Gundy said something about he didn't know that home court advantage came with the refs, too.  ::)

Looking at this Detroit and Cavs game just shows how bad we are offensively. The Pistons are in this game because of their knockdown shooters, we need to go offense in FA/Draft enough with these undersized defensive guards.

Great game between the Pistons/Cavs so far. Love the grittiness. Stanley Johnson is gonna be huge for this team.

Wasn't the Celtics in the game because of their shooting and defense?

Yeah, I think Detroit will push Cleveland hard ... but I think the Pistons lack of playoff experience will undo them in the end. Detroit remind me a bit of the first time OKC made the playoffs. Gave the Lakers a lot of problems but their youth against the Lakers experienced heads was too much for them.

Marcus Morris is lighting them up. [dang]. What knockdown shooting. LeBron is surprisingly getting less calls too. Looks like this officially Golden States league now. The LeBron era is slowly coming to an end.

You must have missed the first several minutes, then, because even the announcers were talking about how biased the refs were being toward James.

Wow, this Pistons team has the Cavs in all sorts of disarray.

 I did actually. I think I turned the game on halfway through the second quarter. that's surprising, because what I've seen so far, the refs are letting both teams play their game.

Yeah, the announcers were talking about it, and Van Gundy even said during the post-first quarter interview that his guys needed to accept that they're not going to call fouls on Lebron James lol. Since then, it's been much better.

Man, I'm becoming even more of a Stanley Johnson fan. He is locking James up.

The refs are doing their best to tilt this game in the Cavs' favor  ::)

He would've been an excellent fit alongside Smart, Crowder, and Bradley. Imagine three of those guys making up the 1-2-3 of your team.  :o And he's actually reliable from the outside, similar to pre-injury Crowder.
