The Game-2 wait is nearly over...when told that Rasheed Wallace said the Pistons feel like they lost Game-1, based on how they played, Larry Hughes smiled and said..."if they want to give us the win instead we'll take it"...The bottom line is both teams know the intensity meter will be turned up tonight...meaning open scoring looks may go down...

I asked Z if he noticed a difference between the feel of the ECF versus the semi's...he said...no doubt...it sort of surprised him...he said he felt like he drank too much coffee, as he listened to the national anthem...he felt the jitters, and added, the guys were probably too hyped...Z feels that led to some second half mistakes...so, settling down will be a key for the Cavs against a team on it's 5th straight appearance in the ECF...

Two signs we may be infiltrating motown...a truck, with Michigan plates, driving up I-75, through the heart of downtown today had scribbled on the back in chalk..."GO CAVS"...yes, with Michigan plates...and right in the middle of an eastside Detroit neighborhood, a lawn cutting service with a worker wearing....a LeBron home white uniform...

See you tonight on FSN Ohio for Cavaliers Live Post game, followed by Cleveland Rants..
