Pistons Balanced Attack Too Much For The Cavaliers
The Pistons added another W to the win column Sunday afternoon in Cleveland, taking down the Cavaliers in their own building 90-78. Though the game stayed close at the start, the Pistons looked in total control throughout the game. Chauncey led the team with 18 points and 10 assists, but his ability to get all his teammates involved was what helped the Pistons control the game.
Key Points:
- The Pistons have now taken 5 straight from the Cavaliers.
- Rasheed and Chauncey both had double-doubles.
- Cavs fans are weak, nobody even booed Rasheed. Where are the Rasheed must bleed signs now?
- The Pistons had 16 turnovers, 5 of them came from Chauncey.
- It must be nice for Rip to not have to shoulder the whole load, he had just 10 points on 3-8 shooting, but he did his best to drive the lane and get to the stripe.
- One of the referee's kicked out a fan during the game. I don't know what he said but I haven't seen that before. UPDATE: It was a member of LeBron's entourage, who was hassling all three refs because LeBron wasn't getting any foul calls.
- Seriously, how good has C-Webb been for this team. 15 points on 7-for-10 shooting and 6 rebounds in 28 minutes.
- Maxiell had a nice Dunk over Ilgauskas. He played just 5 minutes.
- Tayshaun had a nice block on Varjao. Thankfully Varjao played just 12 minutes - he bothers me.
- The Pistons looked focused and in control the entire game.
- They had a bigger problem with the Bucks Friday night.
- They did a great job holding LeBron back.
- How many times do we have to hear that Webber isn't what he was when he was 20 years old. Who is the same person 15 years later?
- Tayshaun hit back to back 3's in the opening minutes of the ballgame to spark the Pistons.
- Davis had a hefty 3 minutes.
- I know I say this a lot but Hamilton needs to quit complaining and get back on D.
- How about those behind the back passes lately from Webber and Billups.
- Webber does somersaults for this team.....Literally!
- 6 Pistons in double figures.
- Rasheed and Webber both had 15.
- I wish Lindsey Hunter would stop shooting 3's, he was 0-for3 from downtown. Those were his only shots of the game.
- Delfino played well in his 10 minutes on the floor, including a 3 pointer that stretched the lead out for the Pistons.
- Scott Pollard looks like an idiot.
- The Pistons shot 49% from the floor.
- 21 assists for the Pistons.
- Poor LeBron only went to the line 3 times.
- I know everyone thinks Donyell Marshall looks like Ludacris, but I think he looks like a grown up Webster.
- Billups and Prince each played 40 minutes.
- Billups not only was the leading scorer for the Pistons but he ran the show very well.
- The Pistons are back on top of the Eastern Conference.
- The Pistons are now 7 and 3 since Webber arrived.
- I wonder if YAYSports is still boycotting his Cavs.
- Seemed like endless open jumpers for the Pistons.
- Dice is definitely back.
- Can someone please explain to me why Drew Gooden has one small round patch of hair in the back of his head and nowhere else. It looks like a bunny's tail.
- Chauncey had the prettiest rainbow floater over LeBron.
- Sheed had a couple of put back one handed Jams.
