I've always been an avid reader of eyes and faces....and was last night, ever a great night for introspective gazing...From LeBron's piercing concentration, saying this is the most focused he has been in his life....to Daniel "no fear" Gibson, to the other DG, Drew Gooden, whose eyes are the windows to his world of fun...to Mike Brown, who like LB, belies his age of 37, with a calm and assurance that feeds right through his locker room...to you fans at the Q, who displayed the utter joy of not so much beating Detroit, but watching your team again deliver in crunch time...

Tayshaun Prince said it best in today's Detroit Free Press..."they did what we do"...and that is keep games close when necessary, and then take over when it matters most...it's a sign your Cavaliers are growing into title contenders before your very eyes...

The Free Press is also the master of the sports headline double entendre...today's "EERIE FEELING" is right on, since we have another Lake Erie standoff after four games....but while last year, I think the Pistons perhaps viewed the Cavs as more of a nuisance...this time, they know these Clevelanders are legit...that being said, I know those guys in that Piston locker room...they come from the "if it ain't rough, it ain't right" school...so, no fear in their eyes...they will carry their usual swagger into Game-5...the Cavs will have to continue to match it...

Finally, part of the Cavs growth has been something Mike Brown has talked to his team about since training camp, and that is ability to handle success...again, the Cavs have to handle it with care after two stare downs of the Pistons....it all makes for fascinating theatre...

Talk to you tomorrow before Game-5...
