I hate to start the millionth new thread, but I strongly believe this needs to be brought up. WHERE'S THE DEFENSE????!!!! The Pistons have scored no less than 95 points since Game 2. I know a lot is because of turnovers, but come on!!!!
1.) If Tim isn't going to score (i.e., forget the Wallace boys, now McDyess is guarding him one-on-one), then block some shots when Rip/Bill come into the lane.
2.) What is going on with all the open shots, esp 3-pointers?
3.) Are they finally going to get it right on the defensive switches? Correct me if I'm wrong but does anyone remember the Spurs getting caught so many mismatches (Duncan on Billups, Tony on Wallace, etc.) starting with the Phoenix series. Why is this not corrected?

the switching screw-ups are incredibly UN-Championship defense.
I'd really like to hear Pop explain that one away.

The Billups/Parker matchup is really hurting the Spurs.

Also, it's hard to defend fade away jump shots.

Billups is killing us! But is it just them making fadeaways? I mean I remember seeing a lot of open looks and it wasn't just last night. I'm talking bad defense ever since Game 2.
