I don't have much to say today, so a word from our sponsor. I guess I could "pimp ze auto", but here's the American Express ad from Wes Anderson.

Charles Barkley tries to outdo David Blaine. The Chuckster lasts less than 30 seconds. High comedy.

What can one possibly say about Game 2 of the Cavs-Pistons series. It took 6 quarters for some semblance of professional pride to kick in for our squad, after falling way behind after a miserable half once again. Hard to judge the second half. Were the Cavs selling out on defense, converting opportunities, and generally playing better? Or were the Pistons supremely confident, perhaps put to sleep by the lethargic play of the Cavaliers, or legitimately hitting a downturn in concentration and resultant overall play? I mean the Cavs outrebounded Detroit, 51-38 (offensively, 13-5), a stat I always look to when considering how bad a team wants it.

One thing the Cavs did do, was force the Piston starters to play a lot of minutes. However, with Game 3 not until Saturday, it doesn't mean a whole lot. Regardless, the Cavs lose Game 2, 97-91, in a game that was not as close as the score indicated.

Scoop Jackson, for one, remains a witness.
