Detroit Pistons Bench

Antonio McDyess/Carlos Delfino/Jason Maxiell/Lindsey Hunter/Dale Davis​

Detroit Notes​

* The Pistons psyche runs through Rasheed Wallace. See if you can force him into an early tech, then throw Varejao at him randomly during the 3rd.

* Jason Maxiell should keep getting minutes due to his energy, we have only one energy big to counter, Anderson Varejao.
​

Cleveland Key Points​

* Lebron: attack, attack, attack the basket. He's been getting robbed the entire series, and the Q won't have it.

* Establish Gooden in the post early. Z seems to have lost it will probably have to be worked back slowly down low.

* More Boobie. Boobie is good.

​

Mike Brown Gameplan Keys​

- Stop giving Lebron isolation plays at the top of the key. So predictable.

- Try some Lebron/Varejao pick and roll for 3 plays in a row when we get into an offensive lull.
​

Cavs win by 14. LBJ attempts at least 9 free throws. Mike Brown doesn't blow through his timeouts too early.
