Gotta love the Pistons...

... choking in the big game (#3) and losing 4 straight (ok, only 2 now but it will be 4!)

Go Cavs!!!

Oh my friend....

It is simply a tied series, all the Pistons have to do is win 2 of the next three, and you can't forget we have the home court

Let's take a trip down memory lane...
Last year the Pistons were down 3-2 and still came back to beat your Cavs in 7...

Eastern Conference Finals 04.... Pistons were 2-2 with New jersey, Lost game 5 in triple OT (at home) and still came back to win the series in 7....

Seems to me my Pistons do great when their backs are against the wall

I'll check back in and offer my condolences to you and the other Cavs fans at the end of the series

But seriously, in good fun...may the best team win!

This Hoosier, transplanted from Akron, Ohio, is hoping that LeBron and the Cavs can finally do something for the Cleveland sports fans. The series is all even now and it is almost like the first 4 games didn't happen. We'll see, but after all the heartbreak over my lifetime from Cleveland sports, I'll keep my expectations low!

Agreed. May the best team win!

Detroit is the number one seed and should be that team.
But, the Cavs have a chance.

About beating the Cavs in 7 last year... That was a team that barely made the playoffs, not a #2 seed. Don't take too much pride in that or think the '07 Cavs aren't a little better than the '06 version.

I think the Cavs have momentum and Motown is doubting themselves... We'll see. Good luck to both teams!

Detroit is going to have to fight. Double overtime and Cleveland wins. I hope Cleveland can pull it out. I think no matter what, the Spurs are going to win the Finals anyway.

[CleveSJM]

Spurs are tough but Cleveland can surprise... What a great game tonight!

Kudos to Cleveland~specifically LeBron for a great Game 5. They responded to everything Detroit gave them. I will give credit where credit is due.
However, being the Detroit fan that I am, I cannot yet count out my Pistons. We've been down 3-2 many times and have pulled it out~I have to remain optimistic~it's my job as a fan! Detroit and Game 5's don't mix.
I was at the game and truly appreciated that all-time memorable performance from LeBron. Simply stunning. There was many things about that game though that don't sit right with me. Mainly the Flagrant 2 call on Dyess for his admittedly hard foul on Varejao. Flagrant 1 maybe, but 2? We lost our 6th man in the first quarter of a pivotal game
One game at a time, but I'll admit I'm nervous
