Live Thread: Cavs vs. Pistons
2015-04-13
Will Cavs fire on all cylinders against the Pistons? More importantly, will anyone care?
The Cavs come into this critical contest, having dropped their last two and hoping to avoid their longest losing streak since January against the feisty Pistons… oh wait, it’s not the playoffs yet? <stifled yawn>
Okay, let’s start again… The Cavs, after a weekend holiday against the Celtics where they generously rested their starters to make sure Boston would be their first round opponent to get them ready for the playoffs, will be back to full strength tonight against a Detroit team coming off one of their biggest wins in what was once a promising campaign. Welcome to the penultimate wind-down game to the 2014-15 season.
Since this game means very little to either team (other than pride), it could devolve into yet another hard to watch affair. So here’s a game to make things light (if you’re interested). In the spirit of the “Haikus For The Win” thread from the Cavs’ blowout of the Celtics on March 3rd, tonight’s challenge is to break out your best similes and metaphors for game highlights.
Like:
Mozilla just devoured that Reggie Jackson drive like it was a small European village (simile).
or… Angry Smurf is his own slow motion replay (metaphor).
If you get confused… here’s a simple chart to follow:
I’ll incorporate the best ones from the live thread into the recap (unless there are none because you’re either not interested in watching until the playoffs, or think this is a stupid idea — in which case I’ll do my best to improvise).
Compare away…
That LeBron steal and behind the back dish to Mozgov was the Mona Lisa of the Q.
Thanks for the reminder Lemy! Your post was like a lightbulb going off in my head.
Moz interview post-game is like perfection…
On schedule and ready for the playoffs: This was like game 3 of the NFL preseason, close to a full dress rehearsal. They’ll probably treat Wednesday’s game like week 4 of the NFL preseason, with the starters playing just the first half to stay sharp.
On schedule except for Kyrie sitting out the second half with right hip tightness. Yikes! Trying to fend off flashbacks to Chones foot, Daugherty thumb, Price groin injuries in the playoffs.
Cavs get a win like a sorbet to cleanse the palate after the foul-tasting losses to the Celtics…
Perkins busting out like he’s only 29 1/2!
