Tonights featured game LeBron vs.--I mean Cleveland vs. Detroit. Cleveland pulls a 100-96 victory over the Detroit, and yes the Pistons good players played (except Mehmet.) Darko was horrendus (according to stats, and Boozer was a bruiser with 15 points and 14 boards. JR Bremer was the nights leading scorer with 19 off the bench, he just might get the starting not over Dajuan 'DNP' Wagner. On the Pistons side Ben Wallace led the team in scoring! He had 13 on the night with 9 boards. Tied for second with 12 were Tayshaun Prince (w00t), Rip Hamilton and Corliss Williamson. Click below for a real recap.

James, the highly touted top overall pick in June's NBA draft who helped draw 20,862 fans to The Palace of Auburn Hills, had eight points on 4-for-12 shooting, seven assists and three rebounds in 26 minutes....Darko Milicic, the No. 2 draft pick, scored five points on 2-for-8 shooting in 19 minutes for the Pistons.
Rookies had a rough night scoring. Especially Milicic who was also 1-4 from the line.
Oh, and here's LeBron's first pro basket.
Jersey's sure look a lot brighter in theh Stadium light. And no headband on Bronny, looks weird.
