What we're watching: Lost is still the show to watch, we guess. The last few episodes have been a bit of a drag, here's hoping they pick things up. Invasion wraps up their first (and last, thanks Bob!) season tonight, along with CSI:NY, Law & Order and Bones. The Detroit Pistons start from scratch tonight trying to put away the Cleveland Cavaliers with their series tied 2-2. The defending champ San Antonio Spurs however are just trying to stay alive after falling down 3-1 to the Dallas Mavericks. Think Mark Cuban can smell the Conference finals yet?Our traditional high-def listings continue below.

According to what I read in the Boston Globe today, Invasion's first season is also its last. Hope they tie things up tonight!

It's funny, all the networks had sci-fi shows to start the season and I don't think any of them will be coming back for a second. There was threshold, invasion and the one with the sea monster, is that still on?
