Game 74 | Pistons @ Cavs | March 31, 2009 | 7:00 PM (ET)

This is shaping up really, really well. The '95 Tribe was screwed when the Braves got home field in the WS. It ain't happenin' this time... The Cavs have a stranglehold on homecourt THROUGHOUT THE PLAYOFFS. Who would've thought we could say that, especially if we knew Boston, LA, and Orlando would all win more than 60 games. Nuts.

WOW TJ FORD just hit a BIG shot to sink the Bulls.

Charlotte has a chance to face us in round 1

I saw that. Very similar to the one the little bastard hit against us with a few ticks left in the widely disputed Free Throw Bowl 09.

Although, I don't like the Lakers reference.

damn we were still outrebounded by 10, and BRON BRON had 12. Another low turnover game though 5 to Pistons 14.

i feel dumb for thinking this was gona be a win.

How many 4th Q collapses have we had to watch this year? 5 10 15?

****ING LEBRON AND **** THE CAVS

We were already below .500, now we're 36-38.

This team blows

This is one of the greatest days in sports for me. Kentucky gets Calipari. Cavaliers hand Pistons a loss and the Lakers lose.

The low turnovers is such a great sign, those Pistons teams that were contenders for so long REALLY knew how to take care of the basketball. If we average 8 or less turnovers in the playoffs, it's gonna be hard to beat us. We can be efficient on offense, and you know we're gonna make it hard on you to score. Making up 5 or more possessions a game gets tricky against a team like the Cavs...

You can find quotes like that on any team forum, just look at one in a game where the Cavs have lost.



Good game though. I can't believe Curry pulled Iverson and Bynum and put in Stuckey and Hamilton. I just feel like we gave this game away in the fourth.

Man i love this team, we are so tough to beat down the stretch of games when its close. Kudo's to West and AV for their tough defense/hustle. West shut down Hamilton and in the process he roughed him up a bit . AV got us a lot of big extra posessions and played Sheed well. I also think its safe to say Boobie got his shot back, i'm starting to get that feeling i use to everytime he releases it. The feeling where you think every shot he takes is going in. But overall great team effort and its makes it even sweeter with the Lakers losing.

That was totally dumb on his part. Those were the guys that were keeping the pistons in the game. Curry was worried about our size tho. Good for us, bad for you.

Clutch performances all around. Can't deny Pistons defense tho, that was rough. We never got in a shooting rhythm. Did we hit any 3's in the 2nd half. Whew, physical game. I got exhausted watching.

WTF..LAKERS LOST AGAIN???

*EDIT* Have to download two games now.

One of my favorite games of the season. Did you guys see that start that we only lost 2 games decided by less than 3 points? The pacers one with the double fouls and the crab dribble. We win all the close games. Allright!
