Wonderful game Cavs, here is the boxscore. http://sports.espn.go.com/nba/boxscore?gameId=251231005 ^^LeBron working down Hamilton, about to score two of his 30 points. Article on the game, <div class="quote_poster">Quote:</div><div class="quote_post">James scored 30 points with seven rebounds and seven assists in the Cavaliers' 97-84 win over the Detroit Pistons, who had their winning streak stopped at nine and lost for just the fourth time this season.</div> Rest of story----http://sports.espn.go.com/nba/recap?gameId=251231005(also source) This shows us that the Cavaliers are a play-off team and a team you can't just walk on. I honeslty think the Cavs will make the play-offs and go to the second round. I will not be suprised when LeBron takes his team to the second round of the play-offs. Great game LeBron and way to go Cavs!
This game should be a great confidence-booster for the Cavs, but I do believe that Detroit underestimated these guys...I feel sorry for the Pistons' next few opponents...
This was by far the Cavs' biggest win of the season! Gooden(13 boards) and Z(11 boards) did a solid job in the paint...I would love to see these two play like they did yesterday all year long...If the Cavs could play consistent defense like this all season, they should be a tough team to beat come playoff time!
Excelent game by the Cavs. THis game showed that Detroit isn't all that tough without their bias refs at the Palace. LeBron James SMOKED them.

Props to the Cavs, a good win This was far more important to the Cavs though and they showed It.
<div class="quote_poster">Quoting AllNet:</div><div class="quote_post">You can't breath on Wade without a foul being called.</div> Well unless your name is Kobe and it's Christmas day. Let's be real, I love the Pistons but they get plenty of calls too. I remember Allen Iverson getting a charging call by knocking down Ben Wallace in the playoffs....and this was before he even crossed half court. If that's not a talented flop I don't know what is. Seems like everybody has the Pistons marked on their calendar (for good reason). Some people don't take the regular season seriously, but the Cavs were smart enough to realize that beating top teams in the regular season never hurts.
