Good to see Mo Evans in there.
Okay Mo, hit a couple more 3's and I'll take it back.Good to see Mo Evans in there.
What a surprise - Chauncey comes out and the Pistons start getting quality shots.
Its a miracle that they're only down 6.
I wonder in a game of this magnitude if you should just leave him in and take your chances that he won't foul out.
Nice run at the end of the quarter.
My point is, when Billups was in he was dribbling around and calling plays that resulted in either fadeaway jumpshots or turnovers in the teeth of the Miami defense. Lindsey is doing twice the job setting up his teammates, getting Rip and Sheed the ball in situations where they can score. The only person who was scoring with Chauncey in the game was Tayshaun Prince, on some lucky shots that went in off of isos and broken plays.
You can't just pin it all on CB. Hamilton settled down halfway thru the Q and stopped turning the ball over.
I can't pin it all on Chauncey, that's true. People missed shots and fumbled passes. But 3 of Rip's turnovers were Chauncey's fault - he was getting force-fed the ball in between 3-4 Miami defenders, where he could either turn it over or get blocked. Chauncey was calling curls for Rasheed and McDyess to catch-and-shoot a fadeaway from the top of the key.
When Lindsey came into the game at point guard, he started getting his teammates the ball in positions where they could create higher-percentage shots. The spacing got a lot better. There started to be some measure of ball movement. Rip and Dice got layups; Sheed actually got the ball on the block when he was fronted.
It's too bad Lindsey has 3 fouls of his own, or I'd ride him to the finish.
Holy - ball movement and postups! Spacing! Offensive rebounds!
Finally...
These cheap fouls on the Wallace boys is TROUBLE.
... and one taste of the lead and they start taking bad shots again.
Why the are they double-teaming O'Neal? Let Davis foul out trying to guard him one on one if they have to. The overrotation is just picking up fouls on more important players.
I want to have Dale Davis's children. He's got to be the first Piston ever to lay Wade out on the floor without any flopping on Wade's part.
Edit: there's a game blog in the main forum?

Sheed picks up his fifth foul on a "moving screen". Bull . A player like Duncan or Diaw can take about three steps riding the man out of the way, and Sheed, standing still, picks up his fifth on a rub screen?
Bull . Absolute bull .
Damn, Wade got fouled big time on that 3 point shot, didn't get the call but still made it
OK, it's over. Billups is making bad decisions again and neither Hamilton nor Prince nor this dumbass zone they're running can stop Wade without fouls, real or not.
The refs completely took away any momentum the Pistons had with that fifth on Rasheed. That's no excuse for the complete mental breakdown by Flip and Chauncey, but it's the truth.
Screw this team. I can live with the Mavs winning a le. Maybe Cuban will die of alcohol poisoning during the celebration and all will be right with the world.
Heat putting it on the Pistons
Heat are now up 3-1
Money!
I don't want to talk about it.
I don't want to think about it.
but at least I won my first Vbookie in quite awhile.
Pistons in 7!
of course.
I just wish they wouldn't make it so difficult on them ...or on me.
So what's it going to be after wednesday?? Pistons in 9???
