also mcdyess finally got on track and had a nice game. they are gonna need mcdyess to step up to win

He stepped it up in last nights game and they still lost. Also was only showing you those numbers cause you said they needed to play stronger, which they might have stepped up there D, but the O wasnt there what so ever for either team in the 3rd and 4th. So thank god for the 2nd quater. That is where Cleveland won that game. //content.invisioncic.com/y282845/emoticons/smile.gif.1ebc41e1811405b213edfc4622c41e27.gif

well mcdyess had 11 point and 11 rebounds, and the pistons wouldn't have been within 2 without mcdyess. remember billups and rasheed were out with foul trouble. also cleveland has yet to dominate detroit. detroit could've won these past games, so it isn't impossible for detroit to go into cleveland and win. cleveland has been able to make adjustments and win 3 in a row. detroit has not done that. detroit needs to play hard for 48 minutes. detroit has the advantage on the front line. rasheed needs to get more touches donw low and i can't believe i'm saying this, but rasheed needs to take more 3's. he needs to spread out the front line of cleveland. also they need to get tayshaun more involved. they go to him a couple times a game and he has success, but they just go away from him.

I've been very impressed by the cavs' defense, for sure. It's defintely a good 3 or 4 steps up from their d during the regular season.

Both teams really need to work on stepping up their offense, tho. As exciting as these games have been to watch, both teams are looking a little bit sloppy offensively.

And, although i AM thoroughly impressed with the defense happening in these games, defense at the cost of fouls and good players needs to be toned down a bit.

i think it's a fact of both teams playing good defense. what i don't like is detroit waits till they are down to take their defense up a notch
