    Most definantly. The Magic-Raptors game doesnt catch me attention as this one. I love watching LeBron play, I dont need to see Vince embarress his cousin. Coming up next, Cavaliers vs Pistons! ESPN, or ESPN2?

    If it was ESPN2 I would have said ESPN2.

    Not that hard to figure out.

    ----------

    Pistons up 33/24 after one.

    Ricky Davis started, has 10 points.

    Michael Stewart also started, got 3 early fouls. No sign of Darius Miles yet either. Carlos Boozer may be a gametime decision tomorrow.

    ----------

    Rip Hamilton has 22 at the half as the Pistons lead 52/45

    LeBron James, taking only one shot, has 4 points and 5 assists, and a board.

    Ricky Davis has 14 points, 3 rebounds, and 2 assists to pace the Cavs.

    Miles played 6 minutes, going 0-2 from the field.

    ----------

    End of the 3rd Pistons lead 71/69

    Cavs finish up the 3rd on a 10-2 run.

    Hamilton has 30 for the Pistons.

    Newble has scored 10 off the pine for Cleveland.

    James is 1-5 for 4 points, 1 rebound, and 6 assists

    ----------

    Right now Cavs are up by two, 73-71. Wait, Rip just hit a 2, 73-73. LeBron is doing horrible scoring, but his passing is great.

    Cavs were up 5, Pistons are on a run now to cut it to 78/79 with 3:57 left, Silas just caleld a timeout.

    James did force a few shots in the 2nd quarter that made his field goals not look pretty, but his 7 assists are huge.

    Davis and Hamilton are going at it on both ends of the floor, great to watch.

    I'm watching the Cavs game, and you can't tell me Ricky Davis isn't another Isiah Rider. A big head, stubborn, selfish thug out there on the court. He is killing the Cavs, LeBron needs to start taking more shots, even though that isn't his game, this team isn't looking too good. They need some kind of change, another rising star, Davis and Miles aren't getting better.

    My friend is a Cavs fan and he can't stand him, so I just wanted to hear you guys thoughts on him.

    We need Davis right now because he is not afraid to shoot. James is not ready to handle the scoring responsibilities, and after all, he is our starting point guard.

    84/79 Pistons after a 10-0 run. Not good when DeSagana Diop has been taking the bulk of our shots in this crunch time.

    Right now

    LeBron
    Davis
    Newble
    Ollie
    Mills

    Diop is checking in. We need him to score some pts down low quick.

    LeBron is out for Diop.

    Score is 84-81 Pistons ahead. Cmon Cleveland! (Where is Z?)?

    <div class="quote_poster">Quote:</div><div class="quote_post">Richard Hamilton scored a career-high 44 points, and Cleveland's LeBron James was held to a season-low six points in the Detroit Pistons' 92-88 win over Cleveland on Friday night, the Cavaliers' 31st straight road loss.

    James, the No. 1 pick in the draft, was held to 2-of-8 shooting. He did have seven assists, but had trouble guarding Hamilton in the first quarter when the shooting guard scored 14.

    Hamilton, who surpassed his career-high of 41 points, scored 12 points in the final four minutes to seal the win. The Pistons have won six of eight.

    Cleveland's Ricky Davis scored 25 points, after being benched by coach Paul Silas in the Cavaliers' previous game for unspecified reasons.

    The Cavaliers, who are 0-10 on the road this season, have not won away from home since Jan. 12 when they beat Seattle. The NBA record is 43 consecutive road losses set by Sacramento from 1990-92.

    Leading by five with 5:09 left, Cleveland had a shot to snap the streak.

    Detroit led from the start until Chris Mihm's dunk, off James' pass, gave the Cavaliers a 73-71 lead early in the fourth quarter. The basket capped a 14-2 run.

    Tayshaun Prince's tip-in put the Pistons up 80-79 with 2:33 left. Hamilton then made four straight free throws to give Detroit a 84-79 lead with 1:29 left.

    James was averaging a team-high 17.3 points. His previous low was seven points in a win against Denver on Nov. 5.

    Hamilton was able to run the rookie off screens or beat him off the dribble during the first quarter before Cleveland took James off the Detroit guard. Nobody else had much success.

    Detroit's Elden Campbell scored a season-high 13 points and Ben Wallace grabbed 15 rebounds.

    The Pistons, who led by as much as 11 in the first half, were ahead by 10 with 3:50 left in the third before Cleveland made its comeback.

    Michael Stewart, who came off the injured listed Wednesday, started after playing just nine minutes in two games this season. Ira Newble, who was suspended for one game for arguing with Silas, also played.

    That would be Ricky Davis, but you know how well Rip uses screens, and the Cavaliers defend screen/pick and rolls terrible.

    A feast for Rip Hamilton.

    Yogi started because the Cavs have tried different lineups without Carlos Boozer, it does not work without him and Chris Mihm is better coming off the bench.

    Hamilton coming off of screens reminds me of a younger version of Reggie. You knew as soon as the screen was set, you were in trouble. God, I used to hate that.....watching Miller come off countless screens and bury J's on on my Bulls.


    Note to others: I do not mean Hamilton is as good of a shooter as Reggie. I was comparing there abilities to use screens, and come off them to set up shots. In that sense, they are very similar players.

    I will say this about Rip though, he may be the best mid range jump shooter in the league.

    Which was great since this guy is showen his hidden talent. Besides Z, I think he is the best rebounder on Cleveland. 13 rebs last night was great for him and helped the Cavs a lot. If he could do this every game, and LeBron get his scoring back up, we could come that close to good teams like Detroit any game.
