[STYLEgod]

As much as I want the Cavs to win it, it just won't happen. But I still believe the Cavs can give them some trouble. If Big Z, Hughes, Marshall, Jones and everyone else steps it up.. they can do it. Hopefully, Marshall is still hot from 3 pt range... LHughes steps up the D and gets the steals. LJames is gonna do his thing.

But, the way I look at the matchups..

PG Detroit
SG Detroit
C Detroit
PF Detroit
SF Cleveland

Bench Cleveland
RMurray - 11.2 pts
DMarshall - 9.3 pts


I'm going with Pistons in 6. :mad:
