The NBA Postseason is almost upon us and despite the fact that the Cavaliers have the number one seed in the east locked down; I still do not feel good about our first round matchup against the Pistons. Detroit may be the 8th seed who underachieved mightily this year, but we are all aware of the old saying, “Don’t wake a sleeping giant” and that’s what the Pistons are.
For all of the die hard fans out there who think that the Cavs are going to sweep the Pistons, you're going to be in for a shock. I am a huge Cavs fan and have attended many games this year, but the Pistons are a different team in the playoffs. There will be no blowing the Pistons out.
This is a rivalry. Both teams are 0-0. Detroit is full of veterans who remember the feeling of the Cavs knocking them out of the playoffs back in 2007 and they would love nothing more than to return the favor. Having said that, the Cavs will win the series in five games, unless they come out and play flat in game one at the Q.
Final Thought: Is there any way that LeBron does not win the MVP? I understand that D-Wade has had a great year and Kobe is Kobe, but LeBron has played out of his mind. He is the definition of a team player who gets it. Not giving him the MVP award this year would be the worst call since Tim Donaghy was refereeing.
