Well, this makes me feel a little better about the C's.  Thanks, Philly.

There actually isn't even a word in the English language to properly capture that shot by Iguodala.  I refuse to believe that their coach drew up that play when he called TO with 12 secs left.  I really think Andre broke the play and called his own number.  Sure, he made the shot.  But if I were a Sixer fan, I'd be terrified of him having the ball at the end of games.  And if I were his teammate, I'd probably ask to be traded.  Even that 3 he took with 40 seconds left was freakin bananas.  That dude is crazy!!

Misery loves company, Orlando!!  What a comeback.  And good to see another good team struggle in Game 1. 

For some reason this makes me a lot more optimistic heading forward.   I was disgruntled about getting stuck playing Chicago... who I see as a FAR superior team.  It's nice to see Philly can get a win too.

Watching that knucklehead theo ratliff..makes me mad, he was a celtic you know.....right before the big 3...of course like so many nba jerks he didn't want to play.....uhhhh, because his back hurt..must have been because his wallet was too fat....! We could use that stiff now...! he always was good...when he felt like playing.....

Atlanta looks dangerous. They have all the pieces and swagger. Plus they've been completely under the radar with all the Wade hype. At the very least I see them pushing Cleavland.

We really can't complain about our playoff schedule. No excuses.

[Spfldkid]

Yup, Atlanta, has been laying low....and really hasn't changed much from last year, young, athletic,confident, and now experienced...they just lost 1 strong player, with the big hair...i could look up his name..josh..? Just joshing.....ooohhhh...Miami, well, Wade Beasely, Oneil...oneil is the problem, he is more of a fighter in the stands than on the court, he COULD be great, but something inside is keeping that from happening.....like Rashard Lewis also..i mean what doesn't he have for skills....but he is a fader...sometimes it is like he isn't even there.....Oh KG, they just showed him on TV....talking about surgery..Oh KG, it is like getting 4 numbers on the megamillions...no only 7k......i could of had it alllllll

Anyone watching the Cle/Pistons game right now? So freaking booorrrrrringgggggggg

[Cs09Champs]

Cavaliers 32 FT attempts to Pistons 12 LOL. LeCrab Dribble has more FTA than the entire Pistons team **** (15 BTW).

[illantari]

Pistons bench actually trying to bring them back.  If I were their coach I would've just kept the bench in.

[Cs09Champs]

40 FTA to 14 

[Cs09Champs]

The bench got them within 8, now it's back to 15 with 2 minutes to go

The FT disparity does look egregious but I'm sure its an improvement over the last game where the starters combined for 5 fouls. Our bigs need to start watching the Cavs game to pick up some tips on avoiding foul trouble.

Cavs took early lead 12-2 after 5 minutes.  Last 43 minutes of the game here is the score Cavs 82 Pistons.   This team is not that great they are overrated, if the opposing teams stop acting like they are in such awe of this team and just go out and play basketball they can lose easily.

last 43 minutes of the game score Cavs 82, Pistons 80.
