It’s like David versus Goliath as the no. 8 Pistons play the no. 1 seed Cavaliers for a chance to make the second- round. Yet as the Pistons proved in the opening-game loss, 106-101, they are not to be taken lightly. Led by young stars such as Andre Drummond, Reggie Jackson, Marcus Morris, Tobias Harris and Kentavious Caldwell- Pope, the Pistons will give LeBron and his squad all they can handle in this series. All-Star center Drummond led the NBA in double- doubles and became just the fourth Pistons player to lead the league in rebounding for the season. He’s 6-foot-11 and 279 pounds. Hats off to Van Gundy and general manager Jeff Bower on the solid job they have done to mold the Pistons into a playoff team. Excitement has returned to The Palace and home playoff games this Friday, April 22 and on Sunday, April 24, will have the arena buzzing, for sure. Granted, this is not a championship-contending team, yet the Pistons are showing the basketball world that their lineup is a good one and their tenacity is sound. For Detroit, it’s a great opportunity to show television audiencesPistons both across playing the United in their States tournaments, and Canada its what little a terrific sports town we have.
