It's a Good Thing the League went with Detroit and Cleveland for the marquee game

Nothing gets people to tune in like a team getting punked by 30. :lol

[Pistons < Spurs]

I'm loving it!

It's like the first and last Spurs-Kings games, blowouts that only the winning teams fans enjoy.

Good first game for all fans to watch between Spurs and Mavs.

Great game should count for two wins. Just a flat ass kickin....

Unfortunately, we are all witnessing it.

In all fairness to the Cavs, they didn't have a home game like we did.

This is the best game I've seen the Pistons play in the playoffs this year.

The point is that Cleveland's going to get rolled by Detroit, probably in four. And the league sucks dick for going with that for the marquee game. Maybe Lebron can get some dunks in garbage time in so that they have something to show on Sportscenter tonight.

The way The Pistons are shooting and playin D it could be in Cleavland it wouldn't matter IMO.

Nothing new. NBA was always about hyping up individuals.

Spurs were primetime to me in the West Coast.

Detroit is OWNING not only the Cavs, but Stern as well! The league has been overhyping the Cavs for so long everybody has forgotten that they actually SUCK!

I'm just happy that Sheed got out of a Joey Crawford reffed game without a tech. It's a friggin miracle.

[CubanMustGo]

I'm glad the Cadavers and Bronnie were exposed for the frauds they are. Welcome to the REAL playoffs, gentlemen.

PS - you might want to guard the three point line, Cleveland.

I agree. The scheduling today was foolish. The Mavs/Spurs series is almost guaranteed to be a great one; the Pistons/Cavs series could easily be over in five.

Lebron draws attention, so of course lots of people are going to check out that game. But when the Cavs were down by 60 in the second half, how many people remained glued to their televisions? How many people watching the Spurs/Mavs today were able to change the channel in the fourth quarter.

I don't care very much either way about these things, but I think it's funny that it ended up like it did.

Cleveland is one of the worst teams to ever make the second round.

You would have been able to say that no matter who won the Cavs-Wiz series.

No, the Wizards would have been the worst team to ever make it to the second round.

Owning, beating and burying. That was painful to watch.
