Playoff Musings: Pistons v. Cavs

It was nice of LeBron James to finally bring his A-game to this series. He poured in 32 points, and had 9 assists and 9 boards. Not only that, he also had a good 4th quarter for once. He scored 12 in the 4th and hit two big shots at the end of the game to seal the deal. In Games 1 and 2 he scored a combined 7 points in the 4th quarter.

Now I'm not surprised that the Cavs won this game. After all, they had their backs to the wall. And Detroit always loses a Game 3 when up 2-0 in a series. But there are some concerns for Detroit. I don't think they're mailing in games anymore, like they were in the first two rounds.

In addition to that, they were incredibly lucky to get out of Detroit 2-0. That's right - luck - not experience, is why they won those 2 games in Detroit. Now LeBron looks fired up and his team is responding. I still think Detroit will win this is in 6, but I'm more concerned about what the Pistons will do in the Finals. Their offense looks like a sick dog that needs to be put down right now. They aren't playing well at all right now, and that's not a good thing to say about a team that's probably going to be in the NBA Finals.
