Detroit going against all odds tonight

[MI21]

Detroit rally from a deficit and take the lead by 1 heading into 4th.

Nut check time for Miami.

[ducks]

pistons put 27 in 3 on the great d of heat

[ducks]

BILLUPS ALSO HAS 8 turnovers

[MI21]

Billups had 8 TO's in the first half.

Wade has 6 points in 3.30 in the 4th.

Miami up

[ducks]

wade=clutch

[MI21]

Wade is going off. Has made like 6 straight shots. Off top he has 16 points in half a quarter.

Miami up 2 halfway through the fourth.

[1Parker1]

Damn looks like a Miami win.

I was hoping that Wade would choke again...I can't stand all the media hype that surrounds him. Tommorow there will be a million articles proclaiming him the next MJ.

[ShoogarBear]

Great block by Wade coming up behind on Billups' attempt to pull up for 3.

[MI21]

Whats wrong with Wade?

He didn't ask for the hype, but it isn't exactly unwarranted.

[1Parker1]

I don't get it. Of all the shooters on the Pistons team, why the has Rasheed Wallace been the one taken the 3's down the stretch?

[myhc]

yesssssssssssssssss!!!!!! Miami comes up with the win, will now probably extend this series out to maybe 6 games now!!!!!!!!!!

if we can get rid of the suns quickly, more rest for us!

[midgetonadonkey]

damn...wade just dropped 40

[1Parker1]

Now was that dunk by Wade really neccesary at the end with a second remaining?

[boutons]

Pistons have one of their horrendous offensive games, shoot 38%.

[1Parker1]

Is it just me, or do the Pistons remind anyone else of the 2003 Spurs? They seem to be great one game, bad the next. They have trouble at times comming through in the 4thQ, they seem to be lacking a good perimeter shooter, etc. etc.

I actually thought that the Pistons had a good chance to beat us if we made it to the finals, but they really didn't look impressive tonight.

[SilverPlayer]

Same could be said about us during the Sonics series though. I don't see how a Det/ SA series doesn't go to 7

[Jimcs50]

Never in the HISTORY of the NBA, has the road team in both conferences won both games of the conference finals.

If Detroit wins tonight, history will be made.

My thought on this is, that the 2 seeds were the best teams in both conferences this year for the first time in history.

Detroit can win tonight.

I am pulling for Miami, because I want the Spurs to finish a few days ahead of Detroit before they play each other in the Finals.

As I said, the odds were just too stong to beat.

Nice win by Miami.

Let's go 7!!!!

Man that Pistons offense was hard to watch last night. Rip Hamilton looked like D Wade from Game 1. , he looked like Rip Hamilton from game 1. Billups with 8 turnovers in the half was probably the key stat of the game. The Pistons won the first game by keeping Wade out of a rhythm and not giving him easy baskets to build on. 8 turnovers = transition buckets = Wade being unstoppable in the fourth. Great young talent. I still don't see this series going past six.

1Parker1, you're absolutely right about them being like the 2003 Spurs. Hamilton struggling with his J a la Tony Parker, and Billups being a turnover machine who tries to compensate with second half threes like Jackson. And let's face it, David Robinson and Ben Wallace could be twins.

[MadDog73]

And let's face it, David Robinson and Ben Wallace could be twins.

Except David could score!

(Ben was 2 of 10 last night for 4 pts. Where the was he shooting from, the 3-pt line?!?)

yes. it covered the spread.
