But you know what? Aesthetics don’t count for jack — a win is a win is a win, especially this far into the playoffs. As the Pistons learned against the Bulls, there’s no bonus points for blowing out your opponent. LeBron should bounce back in Game 2, but so should Chauncey and Tay and McDyess. I’d argue that more went wrong for Detroit than the Cavs in this game … and yet Detroit still won. [...] […] Detroit Bad Boys: All in all, this was a ridiculously ugly game, living down to the worst expectations of those who would deem the NBA playoffs already over. But you know what?

As soon as BronBron passed to a wide open Donyell I couldn't help but to have a 2005 Big Shot Bob flashback; w/ Rasheed scrambling to get back to the shooter. A bullet was dodged this night w/ Bron (in my mind) making the right decision. An exciting, breath-taking game indeed, but I doubt the rest of the series will be this close. DP in 5. Go Pistons!

We know that boat won't float against the Spurs or most other shooters given that amount of space and time to release. I'll take it though. A win is a win is a win. 1 down, 7 more to go.

I thought everyone had agreed that "dribble around on the perimter while the shot clock rolls down" wasn't a viable offense for LeBron.

They never show the replays I want to see. Is there pressure from the NBA for broadcasters not to show controversial calls or are these folks just amateurs?

The shot was off with plenty of time to get a putback. They probably should have had Z in as well to crash the boards. And much as I love Sheed, he needs to get that late-game, brain flatulence checked. He should have been locked on Marshall like DeWayne Wade on an endorsement deal.

I was curious to see if LBJ block on Tay was clean but they never showed a replay. Come on TNT leave your back up crew at home for game 2. What was up with TNT not showing any replays last night?

He had 5 points in 5 minutes, and I would think his size would help against Ilgauskus. It really was nice to see Maxiel getting clutch minutes, though.
