Pistons were 2-3 against Cleveland this season?

Correction...2-2 against them. The 1st one I counted was an exhibition game.

He should be the face of the Cavs organization.

DET -120

So Anthony Black ended up being the Magic defender who defended Cade on the most possessions for the series.  Cade's EFG% was 34% with Black as the primary defender, a full 5 points lower than when Franz defended him.

Look at what Thompson did to Bane this series.

I think Cade will get Harden and Thompson will be on Mitchell.  Ausar could be swapped if one of the Cavs starts going off on Cade.

cleveland is a bad matchup for detroit size wise because they can take duren's game away like orlando did.  but theyre soft and their two best scorers are notorious playoff chokers.

i think its cavs in 6, but if it goes 7 i think detroit will win.

"calf strain" might be detroit's secret weapon in the playoffs.

i wouldnt be surprised to see harden or mitchell suddenly come down with a case of the "franz's" if it goes 6 or 7 games.

I wouldn't bet against the explanation of the epidemic of achilles raptures in the NBA being drug induced tendinopathy.

Robinson's calves looked a little strained.
