One of the most common themes you will hear from good teams entering the playoffs is about a perceived lack of respect. This is something that can certainly be applied to the Cleveland Cavaliers, as they have been the brunt of many a negative headline during the course of the regular season. The biggest knocks on this team are that they have under performed, despite winning the Eastern Conference, and that their big name guys are creating a divided locker room. Making a team feel disrespected can make them very dangerous indeed, and you get the real sense that this group came into the postseason with something to prove. The Cavaliers have a tricky first round opponent in the Detroit Pistons, and while Cleveland won their two home games to start the series, they know that they are about to enter a hostile environment for the next two games. The first of those are set for Friday night in Detroit, and you can wager on it at the MyBookie.ag NBA betting odds page.
