Despite a late comeback attempt by Detroit, the Cavs were in total control of this game.  As a matter of fact, LeBron (along with most of his starting buddies) was on the sidelines chillin’ for the majority of the 3rd and 4th quarters.

 

The Pistons look like a very weak team.  They aren’t scary like they used to be.  I think they greatly regret trading Chauncey Billups for Allen Iverson.  But I’m sure the Nuggets are loving life.

Oh, and they have Kwame Brown on their team.  So, that pretty much made them losers from the start.  This’ll be a 4-game sweep by the Cavs.

It’s a close battle at the moment, a tie ballgame as we go into the 4th quarter.

This Portland team is good, and they are going to be great.  But the Rockets are better than them at the moment, and it is showing by the way they are composing themselves in Portland.

Portland needs to loosen up if they want to stand a chance in this series.  Houston is the slow-it-down and grind-it-out team, and they do that very well.  The Blazers needs to use that youth (Aldridge, Roy, Outlaw) to get up and down the floor – perhaps forcing the Rockets into some uncharacteristic turnovers.
