Close Encounters of the Game 1 Kind

Well, here our beloved Cavaliers stand, ready to do battle in Game 1 of the Eastern Conference Finals against the hated Pistons. Excuse our excitement but we haven't been here in 15 years. And we're all a little tired of the lack of respect we seem to get from the entire country. Just a small example, but espn.com earlier today had a link to the game tonight which read "Nets - Pistons, 8ET." Umm, yeah... we closed out the Nets on Friday night. Most "experts" have the Pistons beating us in 4, 5, 0r 6 games. Whatever.

To start things off this week, let me just say it was a very tough choice for the first ugly Piston to be featured. And I'll leave you with this question to ponder... would you rather have a king or a Prince on your team?
