I don't have a lot to say at this point about Pistons-Cavs, other than I nearly called the score at halftime (said 78-74 on the phone, you can look that 19 up)
It was an incredibly hard game to watch. Billups has problems against the Cavs because they can put Hughes (a taller, quicker defender) on him, and the Pistons' post players (except Cram Max) never actually roll to the rim on screen rolls. When this happens, Pavlovic guards Rip (which is why Hamilton actually looked aggressive offensively in the first half). And Eric Snow doesn't count as a good defender--there was a play in the 3rd quarter where Snow was aboot 7 feet away from the rim and Rasheed was BACKPEDALING away from him because he knew Snow was absolutely no threat to score.
Pavlovic was also at fault for the Pistons' last FG of the game--looking at replays, you can see him barely moving toward Billups as he teed up a wide-open wing 3 in front of a screaming Mike Brown.
I can't imagine the Pistons playing worse offensively and winning a game. Not sure why they didn't give Flip Murray a chance in the first half, especially when they were so stagnant on offense. Also completely unclear why Bron Bron wouldn't at least look at the rim on that last play before kicking it out to Luda--I mean Donyell Marshall.

Wow. With those words, Clinton Portis has blabbed his way into Hall of Fame enemy status for animal lovers everywhere.
Now, I'm all for letting a man do what a man wants to do inside his four walls. But seriously, dog fighting may not be the best hobby for an NFL QB to be a part of. Come on Mr. Mexico, how about playing the XBox? Landscaping? There have to be many other things to do with your time rather than (reportedly) letting your live-in cousin breed dogs for fighting.
