Cavs First Round Opposition in Playoffs is Official

Following tonight’s loss to Miami, the Detroit Pistons will get the first crack at the Cavs in the first round of the NBA Playoffs as the number 8 seed in the East.

Oddly enough, the two teams will square off Wednesday night in the season finale at the Q in what will likely be a battle of the backups with nothing on the line.

The Cavs and Pistons have played three times this season, with the Cavs dropping 2 of the 3 games.

The teams split two games in Detroit while the Pistons won the only meeting in Cleveland.
