Tipoff Tonight - Game 23 - Feb. 9, 2011 - Detroit Pistons

“Do not wait to strike till the iron is hot; make it hot by striking” - William B. Sprague Cleveland,

The mission has not changed. In fact, the level of energy, motivation and determination by those of us in every part of your Cleveland Cavaliers franchise has never been higher or stronger. We will play to win. Every season. Every game. Every minute. Why? You. The thousands of emails, letters, notes, phone calls and words of support you shared with us this past summer has fueled every one of us with a further heightened sense of will-power and grit to deliver the incredibly loyal and passionate fans of the Cavaliers the ultimate prize. That prize is an NBA championship. No fan base deserves it more. No city deserves it more. Words will never express the gratitude and appreciation for the overwhelming support and confidence you showered upon this franchise over the past few months. There will be nothing we do not explore. There will be no amount of time, capital, brain-power or ingenuity we will not invest if we believe it will contribute to our chances of success. The train has left. It will not stop until it pulls into “Larry O’Brien Station #1”. I am looking forward to enjoying the ride with you. Onward and upward.

home Game 23

Cleveland vs. detroit Tipoff: 7:00

pm, Wednesday, Feb. 9, 2011

The Cleveland Cavaliers will take on the Detroit Pistons for the second time this season. In the first meeting between the two Central Division rivals on Dec. 5th, Antawn Jamison had 22 points and six rebounds. However, the Pistons shot 9-20 (.450) from long range and outscored the Cavs 59-43 in the second and third quarters to win 102-92 at the Palace of Auburn Hills. Cleveland trails the all-time series 109-74 but has won seven of the last eight contests against the Pistons. Tonight is the beginning of an eight-game homestand for the Cavaliers, who have won the last four games against Detroit at Quicken Loans Arena. Cavs rookie Manny Harris has been giving the team strong offensive numbers as of late. In the three games played from Jan. 30 to Feb. 2, Harris averaged 19.7 points on .486 shooting and 6.3 rebounds, while shooting 17-20 (.850) from the free throw line in 34.3 minutes per game. After the matchup with the Pistons, the Cavs will continue their home stretch on Friday against the Los Angeles Clippers. The Pistons are the NBA’s best team at taking care of the ball, as they are only averaging 13.0 turnovers per game. They also shoot .379 from behind the three-point line, which is tied for sixth-best in the league. The Pistons have five players averaging more than 12.0 points per game and are led by Rodney Stuckey, who is averaging 15.3 points and 4.5 assists. The next meeting between the Cavs and Pistons will be on March 25th at The Q. Cavs rookie Manny Harris averaged 19.7 points and 6.3 rebounds from Jan. 30-Feb. 2.
