from the first recap available
"That was when Wallace figured the Pistons, who lost their second straight low-scoring game, would wrap things up. Instead, they'll be coming back to Ohio on Friday, and if they're not careful, it could be to save their own season."
that last part, thats teh part i like

one word for the big mouthed pistons.....KARMA.
Huge, huge win. Great to shut Rasheed the hell up.
Wonder what Barkley and the TNT crew will have to say after saying at halftime that this game was being played the way the Pistons wanted and the Cavs couldn't win this way. Well that's 2 wins in a row playing a grind it out halfcourt game.
I think all the close games the Cavs played towards the end of the season and against Washington are paying off and they know how to handle these games.
It's great to see the Cavs win when LeBron doesn't have one of his better games. Still was huge but did have some bad shots, bad turnovers and questionable defense at times. He always steps up when it counts though.
Everyone who played came up with some big play to contribute.
Have to give credit to Snow who stepped up big tonight and made a lot of key plays.
Varejao once again with big contributions.
Z contributed well once again. He may not be his usual self but he's still doing things to help. His D and rebounding was solid. 7 boards and 3 blocks in only 23 minutes.
It would be a lift to get Hughes back at least by Friday. Flip didn't play too well tonight.
Hopefully some in the national media will give this team some credit. Many had them losing in round 1 to the Wizards, then had this series going to Detroit in either a sweep or no more than 5 games.

Damn....I cant come down from this stuff. At least I was out at the bars Saturday night (caught the game at Eddie Georges). Now Im back in Chicago - and was running laps around my house.
Amazing we won with EVERYONE playing so shitty, well, I'll give Andy V the pass. Figures LeBron makes a throw when he is trying to miss. WTF.
The guys are learning that the effort on the defensive end will lead them to victory. Still need some creativity on the offensive end, but keep the core together and it will come.
Beers and shots on me.
I may have to spend another $500 and come into Ctown again. Worth it.

Wallace after the game--
"I ain't worried about these cats," he said. "There's no way in hell they beat us in a series. They played well. I give them credit. We lost. We shot 30 percent and they had to play their best to beat us."
http://sports.espn.go.com/nba/recap?gameId=260515005
Our best? We were surely firing on all cylinders tonight! Are you fricking kidding me? Compared to his best, LeBron played like SH*T.
We played our best...defensively. You shot 30 percent? Well, you should've shot better, Mr. Wallace. You ain't worried about "these cats"? Ironically, I actually believe him. It's tied 2-2 in a series that everyone considered a sweep from the outset. But Wallace ain't worried. 'Sheed's got confidence, swagger, arrogance, make that hubris--and it may be the Pistons' downfall.
I'm not saying we're gonna beat them...but it can be done. Near the end of the game tonight, I kept thinking "The Russian is cut!" There's a chance that Detroit blows us out next game...but if we're within 5-10 points at the start of the fourth quarter, the Pistons had better watch out. The Pistons have "the experience" as Reggie Miller reminded us roughly 75 times during Game Four. But it's the Cavs who've come back from behind again and again this year.
IMO, the best part about 'Sheed's quote is that he wants to look all confident, like a cat playing with a mouse, but the whole world knows that this loss could be huge. A rested Shaq could mean the difference in the (inevitable, in 'Sheed's mind) Heat-Pistons series.
Now, if we only played as well away from home...

Yea - that crowd was sick. I had the volume jacked up on the tv, and the surround stereo volume at about 70%. Couldnt even understand the post game interview.
I will make efforts to get to game 6. Was in for a weekend against Washington, and was in Columbus this past weekend. Am going to Put-In-Bay Memorial Day weekend, so money may need to be conserved. You only live once though, right. I guess thats what credit cards are for.
Whats awesome - we win this series, we play when I am in PIB. Maybe twice (Thursday till Sunday I will be there). We win, shots on me, beyotch.

I'm gonna goto the game as well friday it should be absolutely crazy I can't wait. I wanna get down there early and start saucing.
I still don't even know how we keep winning with all this little contributions from flip, gooden and z. With all these horrible offensive plays or lack there of we are still winning it just boggles my mind.
Chicago, if we win this series I'm coming for those shots! lol

Lebron didn't score a whole lot, but he had very well rounded game. He almost had another triple double, (9 assists, 8 rebounds). He did miss a few opportunities to put the game away for good. Actually, 4 oppotunities, in the last minute, but he converted enough free throws to pull out the win here. His D was also pretty solid tonight.
The 2nd leading scorer was.... ERIC SNOW. The Pistons are so focused on Lebron that sometimes they let the other guys just go to the basket. Especially if they aren't percieved threats like Snow and AV. Snow came up big tonight.
Basically, it was an ugly game. No one had a good offensive game, this was basically a defensive stand-off and really I think it was the Cavs bench that came up huge. The Pistons starting 5 defense is probably the best in basketball, but they don't last 4 quarters of a competitive game. Lebron was able to find driving lanes and slow rotations in the 4th quarter yet again. Also, once a guy like Mcdyess or Evans comes in, the defense just drops off enough for things to open up for the Cavs offense.
Again, the Cavs close out a tight game, and the Cavs have proved over the end of the season and postseason. They kept their composure even when the Pistons closed up the lead.
