Kenny Smith's Scorecard Cavaliers Category Pistons Reason
Pistons Backcourt Trading Billups hurts, but Stuckey and Hamilton give Pistons nice tandem.
Frontcourt Cavaliers LeBron James is this season's MVP. Big Z and Varejao know their roles.
Bench Cavaliers Cavs have nice blend of veteran experience and young legs on their bench.
Coaching Cavaliers Mike Brown gave the Cavs their defensive identity, but offense has made big gains.

Kenny's Pick: Cavaliers Kenny's Pick is the CAVALIERS. Pistons' chances of making their seventh straight East finals end at LeBron's feet. Cavs in 5.
