Spurs vs Lakers Game Blog

[spurschick]

Manu is still not getting what he wants in the paint, but he's killing them from the outside. :elephant I hope this gives him that boost of confidence that he needs. :makeout

[milkyway21]

that Detroit loss to the Lakers was a wake-up call to Manu.

my, oh my he's HOT!

i can't wait to see him play in the playoffs again.

[Spurologist]

NVE in the lane with a baby teardrop

duncan with an assist on that?

2:56 SA - N. Van Exel makes a 19-foot jumper from the top of the key. Assist: T. Duncan

[spursparker9]

tim and tony with 8 assists each

[yeahone]

always sweet to be taking advantage odf the lakers

[Jimcs50]

only the 7th TO for the Spurs just then.

[Tek_XX]

Cmon VE don't turn into the Nazr pumpfake pointguard

[SequSpur]

[yeahone]

Finnnnnnnnnleeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeee

[Jimcs50]

They are shooting lights out tonight.

Sweet.

[Dre_7]

Wisconsin in the house!

[phyzik]

On a side note... Manu MUST let the hair grow again, I dont GAF what people think about his looks..... Manu = Sampson

[Tek_XX]

Laker fans shitting their pants with that last shot

[ShoogarBear]

Spurs CANNOT let that bullshit (*cough*greatshot*) at the end let the Lakers get back in the game.

[aaronstampler]

NVE playing typically retarded, with 3 turnovers in the last 3 minutes. Seriously Pop, either make Beno the backup PG or have Brent or Manu be the ballhandler with Nick the Hasbeen at SG.

Ridiculous shot by Kobe to end the 3rd, by the way.

[thispego]

On a side note... Manu MUST let the hair grow again, I dont GAF what people think about his looks..... Manu = Sampson
defintiely, plus thats what people hated about him so much

"he just flips his hair around, flops, and gets the foul" - typical team after an abusive game from manu

[RobinsontoDuncan]

The Spurs are being outrebounded by the Lakers? That's not a good sign for a possible Detroit-San Antonio match up in the finals

[yeahone]

Spurs with 36 points in the quarter

[Spurologist]

On a side note... Manu MUST let the hair grow again, I dont GAF what people think about his looks..... Manu = Sampson

I take it you didn't watch the olympics

[picnroll]

Fuck. Cut NVE and play Beno.

[milkyway21]

Out of bounds turnover on Smush Parker
SA 49.0 Lost ball turnover on Brent Barry, Stolen by Kobe Bryant
LAL 37.0 Lost ball turnover on Kobe Bryant, Stolen by Manu Ginobili
SA 14.0 Lost ball turnover on Nick Van Exel, Stolen by Smush Parker

:lol playoff positioning is just starting. Nobody wants to surrender.

[Tek_XX]

kobe with a jordan-esque shot

Lots of people can make that shot if they get lucky, i guess you could say that about every shot.

[phyzik]

I take it you didn't watch the olympics

yes I watched them, but they dont count. :spin

[sanman53]

geez, I wonder what Pop said at halftime?

[sa_butta]

How bout only 1 player going to the FT line?

[phyzik]

please, I know its blasphemy but can NVE please get a sprained ankle at least until the playoffs or something?

Put Beno in for Christ sake.

[ShoogarBear]

Cripes, Brent. WTF happened to the guy from the last 3-4 games?

[Dre_7]

Barry sucks today.

[Rummpd]

nice ball movement.

[TDMVPDPOY]

hahah if kome and his stupid shit lottery faker team lose this game they be struggling to keep that 8th spot, since utah n kings won today who are also eyeing that spot

[yeahone]

finley perfect so far tonight

[Rummpd]

We want Nazr back!

[aaronstampler]

NVE and Brent are doing all they can to shave points, but the rest of the Spurs are simply too good and the Lakers too bad.

[Dre_7]

Wisconsin in DA HOUSE!!

http://www.uwbadgers.com/photos/sport/mbb/finley_michael_mbb_00_01hf.jpg

[picnroll]

NVE you piece of crap

[milkyway21]

Spurs:8-18 3-pt (44%) :tu

[phyzik]

at least Barry got a steal.... now if we can just keep the ball away from NVE for a few possesions.

[loveforthegame]

It would be nice to see Finley have a perfect game on his birthday.

Go Spurs.

[ShoogarBear]

Phil may have saved our ass by keeping Kobe on the bench.

[angel_luv]

Whoosh again! :)

[ShoogarBear]

Lakers are still out hustling the Spurs, for the most part.

FIN!!!

[Dre_7]

Whoosh again! :)

Again?? :lol

jk

[SequSpur]

Rasho is in the way.

[Rummpd]

Finley looks like that first game of the year againn

[yeahone]

Finleyyyyyyyyyy on Fireeeeeeeeeeeee

[Dre_7]

http://www.uwbadgers.com/photos/sport/mbb/finley_michael_mbb_00_01hf.jpg

[yeahone]

our defensive rebounding is terrible

[Dre_7]

Where have all the Fin haters been since the ASG???

[phyzik]

Dont missunderstand me. I still think NVE is going to be a key player in at least ONE playoff game and am glad to have him.... but sit his ass down for now, that elbow isnt going to get any better with him continuing to eat up minutes from more healthy (READ: Productive) players.

[milkyway21]

It would be nice to see Finley have a perfect game on his birthday.

Go Spurs.so ShaQ & Mike Finley celebrate the same birthday, huh?



and just a few days away from mine. Nice :drunk

[SequSpur]

Where have all the Fin haters been since the ASG???

Ever since I started the Finley sucks topic, he has been playing like a hall of famer.

:angel

[loveforthegame]

I guess Fin's just warming up for the home stretch.

[phyzik]

I never cease to laugh when I see that TD commercial where the kid calls him a giant and asks if he eats people.....

[Dre_7]

i dont want to see a 20 year old finley with zits all over his face...

dre day :lol

That 20 yr old with zits just happens to be Wisconsin's all time leading scorer. :smokin

[SequSpur]

Somebody has to get the ball to halfcourt you know.

[phyzik]

CIA Sequ right? :rolleyes

JK Sequ.

[aaronstampler]

Ever since I started the Finley sucks topic, he has been playing like a hall of famer.

:angel

Yup, I'm sure he'll thank you during his acceptance speech.

[Dre_7]

Alright, Timmy needs 5 more boards and 1 more assist. Come on Tim!

[phyzik]

Last I checked Beno's been pretty productive when he gets minutes.

[SequSpur]

Last I checked Beno's been pretty productive when he gets minutes.

In the game of basketball, getting the ball past midcourt is the first step in a basic offense.

Beno is still learning that.

[milkyway21]

Michael Finley made 3-pt. Jump Shot (10 PTS), Assist Nick Van Exel (2 AST) :tu

HAPPY BIRTHDAY!

[Spurologist]

Well, why dont you post a hate thread about him so he plays like an allstar too :lol

[ShoogarBear]

Dammit, Nazr!

[aaronstampler]

I like how Gino just played like a 6 minute stretch without a shot attempt. He hasn't missed since the 2nd quarter, yet NVE can't get him the ball. Brilliant.

[SequSpur]

Cool, Nazr is padding Duncan's O Rebound statistics.

[Dre_7]

Dammit, Nazr!

Dude, Nazr did that intentionally to help Tim get his triple double.

[TDMVPDPOY]

3 more boards td and 1 more ass = triple double

[SequSpur]

Well, why dont you post a hate thread about him so he plays like an allstar too :lol

I can't remember, but there is probably one in here somewhere. :)

[Dre_7]

3 boards and 1 assist left for Tim.

[Spurologist]

Dude, Nazr did that intentionally to help Tim get his triple double.

tp working on that too

[Tek_XX]

Sean quit acting like you're not a homer.

[phyzik]

Kobe looks like he has some Bruce Bowen rubbing off on him, I agree with Sean, that was a ticky-tack foul.

There, my non-homeresque post of the night.

[ShoogarBear]

Dude, Nazr did that intentionally to help Tim get his triple double.LMAO, I hadn't even been paying attention to that.

[SequSpur]

Sean quit acting like you're not a homer.

yeah, he acts like he is in love with Kobe or something...

Free agency is over... Fuck Kobe.

[Tek_XX]

Well it makes up for the two handed shove on Bowen's back.

[phyzik]

oh shit!

[ShoogarBear]

Shit, Tim down, hit in the eye by Smush.

[phyzik]

ya, on the replay though it didnt look so bad.... then again Im not the one getting a hand in the face.

[Horry For 3!]

Damn, Smush must of got his eye/nose good

[angel_luv]

Oh poor Timmy! Help him Jesus.

[Tek_XX]

Let's hope it's just a poke and not a fucking torn lens or some shit.

[slayermin]

yeah, he acts like he is in love with Kobe or something...

Free agency is over... Fuck Kobe.

Couldn't have said it better myself.

[carina_gino20]

just logged in..what's happening?

[Dre_7]

Let's hope it's just a poke and not a fucking torn lens or some shit.

The radio said it was his nose, not his eye.

[SequSpur]

well you know the sayin......

if you can't beat em... poke em in the eye.......

[Rummpd]

Finley is unreal lately.

[yeahone]

finley going for a perfect night

[Dre_7]

Wisconsin, baby!!

[phyzik]

Let's hope it's just a poke and not a fucking torn lens or some shit.

torn lens is painfull as crap. When I was 11 my dad was mowing the lawn and hit a rock, a very small piece of the blade broke off and stuck in my eye... took 3 days for us to realize there was something in my eye (about the size or a needle-tip broken off). the doctors had to pull it out with tweisers. Since then I'va had to wear corrective lenses.

[Mr. Body]

Man, it really seems like Finley's getting it.

[TDMVPDPOY]

looks like gino is done for the nite, finley is torchin them and DUNCAN is takin KOBe to boarding school tonite withi his assists

[Lonestar]

Damn that man.... I SWEAR he sold his soul to the devil.

[milkyway21]

- Flagrant foul (type 1) on L. Odom?????

[ShoogarBear]

Way to make 'em eat it, TP!

[Rummpd]

Parker is stepping up big after missing the two foul shots.

[Duncanoypi]

what are u doing Finley?...its massacre...

[spursparker9]

the t-mac incident is coming......13pts in 35sec

[Horry For 3!]

I think someone needs to get in front of Kobe's face and not allow him to shoot wide open 3s

[phyzik]

Damn that man.... I SWEAR he sold his soul to the devil.


I take that back, he IS the devil.....


to bad the Spurs can out-fiddle his ass. :drunk

[Rummpd]

Parker dueling with Bryant love it.

[CharlieMac]

Parker shook off teh flagrant and is coming up big.

[Horry For 3!]

:pctoss

[yeahone]

F;;;;k kobe

[CharlieMac]

Wow, Kobe can pretty much do whatever he wants.

With the refs.

[Spurologist]

2:45 SA - T. Parker makes a 21-foot jumper from the right wing
2:51 LAL - Personal foul on K. Brown

[TDMVPDPOY]

[carina_gino20]

damn..Kobe with another 3

[MajicMan]

what the fuck got into finley tonight

[TDMVPDPOY]

are finley shutts him up wiht a counter 3

[Admidave50]

if the spurs play like this in the playoffs...

[CharlieMac]

Man, Finley has still got it. This is a great confidence builder for him now that we're heading into the playoffs.

[phyzik]

I would LOVE to see both Finley and RoHo on the floor together in a big game.... talk about insane.

[SequSpur]

what the fuck got into finley tonight

Spuritis!

[boutons_]

Holy Shit

What bombing practice!!

[Horry For 3!]

Too bad there isn't any Horry For 3! tonight :depressed F U Cuban :flipoff

[Joepa]

Dammit I hate that I can't see this right now.

Is Timmy going to be ok? What happened to him?

[adidas11]

Damnit...

[milkyway21]

WHOAAAA!

finley with 18 now :tu

[boutons_]

BOOM! BOOM! BOOM! BOOM! BOOM! on both ends!!! :lol :lol :lol :lol

[aaronstampler]

The rebounding stunk, and the ball movement wasn't too hot, and we'll have to see how Tim is, but basically Manu and Finley couldn't miss in the 4th, and that was enough. Good thing they're playing in the same building tomorrow night...

[Admidave50]

Gino, TP, Finley => 21 Pts each

[slayermin]

What a great game!

That is why I love this rivalry.

[MajicMan]

fucken finley

[boutons_]

Kobe's body language on the timeout was real discouragement.

[efrem1]

Sounds like a McGrady redux, but a least the team has little more cushion and the wonderful help of Finleeeeeeeeeeeeeee!!

[Spurologist]

FIN is a cold blooded assasin

[adidas11]

In other news...Shaq has the 2nd most points on his birthday in NBA history...

[Duncanoypi]

Kobe shut up!

Finley...way to go!...

[Horry For 3!]

Timmy has a sore right eye, won't return but will be okay

[SpursIndonesia]

Latest scoreline ?

[efrem1]

Too bad there isn't any Horry For 3! tonight :depressed F U Cuban :flipoff

He will be back manana well-rested and ready to put up some 3s!!

[Spurologist]

In other news...Shaq has the 2nd most points on his birthday in NBA history...

I'll take that, put it in an envelope and mail it to someone who gives a fuck.

[Spurminator]

In other news...Shaq has the 2nd most points on his birthday in NBA history...

That might be the second most meaningless statistic I've ever heard.

:lol

[angel_luv]

Timmy poked in right eye. He is sore but okay. WIll not return tonight though.
Unfortunate injury- especially since he almost had a triple double.

[milkyway21]

hey, what is wrong with Timmy?

[Despot]

I never thought I'd say this, but I have a newly found respect for Kobe....This is insane....Kudos to Fin too.

[Horry For 3!]

Damn, Bowen got all ball, refs call the foul just when Bowen touches the ball :rolleyes

[Tek_XX]

The refs not going to let the great Kobe get blocked from behind....that would be embarassing

[Joepa]

Timmy got his eye poked I think

[TDMVPDPOY]

fuck dont let kome go for 50 on us, sumone stop him or injure him

[CharlieMac]

Great block.

[CharlieMac]

I'll take that, put it in an envelope and mail it to someone who gives a fuck.

Classic. :lol

[efrem1]

Ladies and gentlemen, get ready for the 10-minute, 1-minute game.

[ShoogarBear]

Laker announcers bitching endlessly about Kobe's 2 that should have been a 3.

[milkyway21]

Timmy got his eye poked I thinkbye! bye triple-double :cry

[Joepa]

Why the hell do we keep sending them to the line?

[angel_luv]

Good game. Good night. :)

[efrem1]

Ladies and gentlemen, get ready for the 10-minute, 1-minute game.
So I was wrong!! Great win Spurs!!!! :spin

Kinda weird that they are playing in the same place tomorrow.

[slayermin]

Horry tomorrow. Is TD OK?

TD dons the goggles ala Kareem to play against the Clipps.

[Joepa]

All is right with the world :0)

[Pinto Bean]

Great game. Hope Duncan will be fine

[Kori Ellis]

Good allaround game.

Kobe is frickin' awesome.

Duncan laying on the ground for so long from just a poke in the eye was a little embarrassing.

[aaronstampler]

I'm expecting more of a grind it out, points in the paint kind of game tomorrow, we can't bomb away like this every game, it'll make you lazy on offense. But once again, our bench should dominate the other team's bench. The Clips have noboby but the starters..

[Spurologist]

vbookie for meeeeeeee :)

money in the bank

[Solid D]

Lights-out shooting will beat any team and Ronnie Garretson.

:smokin

[milkyway21]

MANU -21 pts
FINLEY - 21 PTS
PARKER - 21 PTS.

..hmmm missing Spurs#21.

[Spurologist]

FIN has stepped up big time lately. Finally comfortable with his role.

[bdubya]

Yeh, yer all welcome, for the Stones wearin' 'em out for ye's.

(grumble grumble) congrats and all (grumble grumble)

[Horry For 3!]

Spurs come back to the same arena again tomorrow but against a different team.....that would feel strange

[Kori Ellis]

shuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuushhhttp://spurstalk.com/forums/images/smilies/smirolleyes.gif

What?

[Manu20]

Manu and Finley were a combined 10-12 from three point land. Nice!

[slayermin]

Nick had a couple of nice buckets. If he gets going, oh lordy.

[picnroll]

In the game of basketball, getting the ball past midcourt is the first step in a basic offense.

Beno is still learning that.
Tell NVE that. That 8 second call was on his crappy ball movement, getting pinned in the backcourt.

[Solid D]

NVE did put a crimp in things for a while there. The ball movement on the whole was outstanding...particularly after the drive and kicks. Spacing was terrific tonight and wow, the Spurs made that spacing count with pinpoint accuracy!!!

[milkyway21]

Spurs, hot as always after the All-Star game.

Scary!

[SequSpur]

Tell NVE that. That 8 second call was on his crappy ball movement, getting pinned in the backcourt.

bullshit.. he wasn't the only one involved.

[Solid D]

That 8 seconds ( I ran it back to see) was really more like 7 seconds. The whistle appeared to be slightly early by Ronnie G.

[milkyway21]

Good allaround game.

Kobe is frickin' awesome.

Duncan laying on the ground for so long from just a poke in the eye was a little embarrassing.:D

a la Cuba Gooding of Jerry Maguire? :lmao

[picnroll]

bullshit.. he wasn't the only one involved.

When he got rid of the ball , holding it foe nearly 7 seconds, there was no time left to get it over. That turnover was a boneheaded play for a vet PG.

[Despot]

About the 8 second call, I clocked it at just over 6 seconds, no doubt the clock started early on that one.

[timvp]

I had flashbacks to the 2004 Lakers series when Bowen was getting owned by the Lakers' picks. That one high pick-and-roll play where Kobe flares out is a play that Bowen always defends horribly.

[SequSpur]

[boutons_]

Our 2 SGs got 10 - 12 3Gs! unbeatable.

Manu put us up in the 3rd, and Michael kept us up from then on.

amazing. I regret I didn't record it.

[picnroll]

He Passed it to Barry who was covered and had no time to pass it over the midcourt line. Barry, Manu and Parker did an excellent job bringing it up against pressure. Finley was shaky and turned it over once. I think Beno's made better decisions bringing the ball up than NVE and I don't want to see him going against Hunter.

So Barry screwed it up then. You ever hear of the game hot potato?

[timvp]

Beno let Bobby Jackson turn him into a shooting guard. Until Beno can go more than a couple games without that happening, I won't be confident with him come playoff time.

[slayermin]

Kobe was incredible. But I think I was more impressed with how well the Spurs shot the ball at Staples.

TP and Finley were clutch. Especially, TP.

[picnroll]

NVE held the ball too log. It was his turnover.

[picnroll]

Great how after TP got hammered he took it to the Kobes. Kids a warrior.

[Solid D]

The Lakers did a nice job of pressuring the Spurs so props to them, plus Kobe was crazy good. They were collapsing the lane and the Spurs seemingly knocked down 80% from beyond 15 feet.

[timvp]

Great how after TP got hammered he took it to the Kobes. Kids a warrior.

Yeah I was impressed with that. Parker drove it right back in the next time he got the ball :tu

[SequSpur]

NVE held the ball too log. It was his turnover.

hot potato, hot potato, hot potato... get rid of it Barry......

Barry had it the last 2.4 seconds.

[aaronstampler]

Smush Parker is retarded. On the postgame show, the interviewer asked him about the Spurs hot shooters and how two different guys shot 5-6 from three, and Parker replied, "Yeah, Finley and.... Rick Barry?"

[timvp]

Smush Parker is retarded. On the postgame show, the interviewer asked him about the Spurs hot shooters and how two different guys shot 5-6 from three, and Parker replied, "Yeah, Finley and.... Rick Barry?"

Rick, Brent, Jon, Drew and Scooter all scored the same amount of points tonight.

[TDMVPDPOY]

wtf is smush even getting interviewed in the first place for? the guy didnt even have a good game

[aaronstampler]

Because Kobe will put up with questions for only so long and Odom is too busy lighting up the postgame doobie.

[dbreiden83080]

Good allaround game.

Kobe is frickin' awesome.

Duncan laying on the ground for so long from just a poke in the eye was a little embarrassing.

Kori that can be very serious, a friend of mine a few years ago got poked in the eye in a pickup game and his vision did not totally come back for about a week. Who was that Cleveland Brown's player who got hit in the eye with a referees penalty flag. His vision never totally came back and he had to retire. So i would not be ragging on Timmy for that it can be serious.

[Kori Ellis]

I know it can be serious.

I still think it was embarrassing to lay on the court for so long. Everyone here knows how much Tim overreacts to being hit.

Oh i don't buy that whole he acts more hurt than he is stuff. What does he have to gain from that it is not like they are going to call a foul after the play is over just because he is rolling around on the floor. So what are you saying he does it for the attention, this guy hates attention.

[Obstructed_View]

Yeah, what a pussy Tim is.

By the way, Orlando Brown came back to play. Having the press conference where someone else read his statement and he stood there with his eye patch looking sad was to keep from getting a gajillion dollar fine from the NFL for putting a beatdown on the official.

[Kori Ellis]

No, he doesn't do it to draw fouls or attention.

Everyone jokes about it with Timmy all the time. When he gets a slight injury he initially overreacts. Everyone teases him that he acts like he got shot. I think he either has a low tolerance to the initial pain or is just wary of getting hurt. He's been this way his whole career and it's widely talked about.

[timvp]

Whenever Tim gets hit in the face, he acts like he's just been attacked by a rabid dog. This is no secret.

[T Park]

Impressive game from Michael Finley.

Semi solid game from Nick Van Exel with some timely baskets.

Barry back to his normal spineless fuckup self.


The old Duncan looks to be back.

Rasho picture frames?

[Solid D]

He Passed it to Barry who was covered and had no time to pass it over the midcourt line. Barry, Manu and Parker did an excellent job bringing it up against pressure. Finley was shaky and turned it over once. I think Beno's made better decisions bringing the ball up than NVE and I don't want to see him going against Hunter.


hot potato, hot potato, hot potato... get rid of it Barry......

Barry had it the last 2.4 seconds.

Brent Barry never touched the ball in that sequence.

Actually, Rasho rebounded and passed it to NVE on the baseline (1 sec.), NVE dribbled straight into the sideline trap and instead of hitting the open Rasho on the other side of half court, he hesitated and then threw out of the double over to Manu across court (5 sec.), Manu caught it and immediately attempted to dribble but Garretson blew his whistle (1 sec.).

NVE's dribble into the obvious trap and ensuing indecision created the turnover.

[T Park]

and yet Van Exel had as many TOs as Parker.

and Nesterovic outrebounded Mohammed, in half the time.

What say to that?

Keep on hatin.

[Solid D]

The Spurs may not have the luxury of having both Rasho and Nazr next season, but it was nice to get 12 points and 6 offensive rebounds, 8 total and a block or two (Rasho had one he wasn't credited with) out of the Center position. Especially when 3 perimeter players had over 20 points and Timmy close to 20.

[T Park]

The Spurs may not have the luxury of having both Rasho and Nazr next season

May not??

Id say, WILL not.

Mohammed is as good as gone.

Oh i don't buy that whole he acts more hurt than he is stuff. What does he have to gain from that it is not like they are going to call a foul after the play is over just because he is rolling around on the floor. So what are you saying he does it for the attention, this guy hates attention.

Im sorry but as I stated on an earlier post I have somewhat of a unique prospective on the whole eye thing and I have to agree with Kori. I had a piece of METAL flung into my eye from a chipped lawnmower blade.... all I did was rub my eye for 3 days (which unfortunately for me made my eyesight worse) before I went to a doctor, I didnt lay on the ground for 2 minutes when it happened. If you look close at my right eye you can actually see a scar.

THEN I had it pulled out by tweasers by doctors which took 2 doctor visits to do, it almost felt like they where pulling out my eyeball (not painfull, just an extremely wierd sensation)..... Yes I was fully awake with no medication.

Its painfull but not "lay down like your dieing" painfull.

BTW I was like 11 at the time.

phyzik, ouch! What an ordeal that must have been.

Talk about dealing with pain....Remember the highlights a few years ago from a track meet when that elderly gentleman judging the javelin throw caught a javelin right in the chest. He just gathered himself and went over and tried to mark it. :smokin

oh believe me, it was an ordeal for an 11yr old but honestly I dont remember that much pain, I just remember being freaked out when they where trying to pull it out. I freaked out so much the first time that they had to schedule it for the next day because they couldnt hold me down lol.

Then again, your talking to a guy who has been accidentally shot in the chest by a friend at the age of 14 and told his mom he fell on a sharp rock (I would have died that night if said friend didnt tell HIS mom the truth).

And also driving a standard transmission vehicle with a broken left leg to the Methodist hospital from the Alamo Dome after a system of a down concert.

Stu Lantz had an interesting commentary in the game. He said the Spurs and Pistons are similar but offensively, they are completely different. He thinks that the Spurs are an attacking team while the Pistons are more of a midrange team.

I dont know if I would agree with that...

I think both teams can do both, just depends on the circumstances throughout a game.

The Pistons do not have a player like Manu or TP. That was his point. Billups is the only guy that breaks down a defense but I fear his perimeter game way more than I fear him collapsing a defense.

I would have to agree with Stu. Rasheed hurt us with the three point shot in the last game at AT&T. Also, opponent's offensive rebounding seems to be a problem at times this year. But we did get some back against the Lakers as the game went on.
