yes but they play on road now and the road % is not as good as at home. they even lost 1q to teams like SAC

Not saying it won't happen. In fact it looks like it might. Just Home Court is strongest in the 1st Q and despite Detroit's struggles they are still reasonably strong in the 1st Q. If they want to demonstrate any kind of backbone and fight it will show up at the beginning of the game.

I like Cleveland to pull away in this one but I kind of thought it would be a toss-up if they would get up early.

I thought about it but hate to bet against my -4.5 on the game. I just didn't think there was any reason to expect the Cavs to deliver a slobberknocking right off the tip. That's pretty much a bet against the Pistons having any pride whatsoever.
