The top seed in the Eastern Conference, the Cleveland Cavaliers, take on the #8 seed Detroit Pistons in the first round of the 2009 NBA Playoffs. LeBron and the Cavs are obviously favored, and I would be pretty shocked if this series goes longer than 5 games. As we know, the #8 seed beats the #1 seed only in the most rare of circumstances — and none of the few #1 seeds who have lost had LeBron James on their team.

Enjoy the series. Something tells me it will be a short one, unless Allen Iverson comes ready to play and the Pistons can dig deep for that “heart of a champion” type effort they used to be known for.
