also the pistons used all their o in game 3
manu will have a HUGE game also
I think you've got some denial going.
Dont' worry, Nies will show up and Duncan will have two fouls in the first minute of game 5.
That remains to be seen. Duncan isn't playing like he used to. I hope he comes back like he did after his terrible free throw game but we will see.
Meh, even if Tim has 14 pts and 10 rebounds again (!?!), there is NO WAY Manu gets only seven points again.
The worse thing about this game (besides losing) is wasting a 10 point game by Brent Barry. Those don't come everyday, you know....
So far in the playoffs, every game Tim has sucked ass he comes back and kicks ass in the next game.
Fact is any game both Manu and Tim suck we lose. Doesnt really matter if its Detroit or the Clippers. Wont happen again.
Detroit played as well as they could. We played as bad as we could, even when it was close.
Still will be Spurs in 5.
There's one thing you DON'T bet on. Tim and Manu having 2 bad games back to back. Whether we win on Thursday or night, I expect both to have monster games.
I don't think Duncan is the key in this series, Manu is. If Manu plays like he can, we take it. If he explodes and Timmy gets mean, we blow 'em out.
duncan will try to drive more next game
This is the first time his "next game" will be played in the Palace at Auburn Hills!
Detroit can play much better than this. Rasheed had another subpar offensive performance and Tayshaun still did not play up to his potential. Our 3 point shooting is still well below our average and we're not putting enough pressure on your 3 point shooting.
I have little doubt that this will be more than a 5 game series.
Agreed. That was a B maybe B+ performance from us. Hopefully they will bring the A game tomorrow night...because I do believe we will need it.
were any of you watching the WCF? did any of you see what tim did... after he basically lost the sweep game?
Indeed I did. He was very impressive. But that was against NO defense. Doesn't mean he can't perform the same way again...but it also doesn't mean that Detroit can't lock him up again, and force him into playing as a jumpshooter.
obviously you didnt see the reports on tv about how phoenix all of a sudden became a defensive team... able to stop tim duncan... because he had a bad night. you missed the sportcenter highlight where he got blocked by amare and they were calling it the best blockedshot ever!!!
ive never seen anyone make tim a jumpshooter... he was born in the post... and if you smother him and get in foul trouble (ask the sonics) however, if he does try to make those early outside shots, someone's gonna have to jump out on him... just saying...
A misconception behind the 96 points in game 3 is that the Pistons offense was good. It wasn't. Because of fast break points, the Pistons were able to score in transition. However, the Pistons half-court offense was not especially good. The Pistons only made THREE 3 point shots. Rasheed only scored 8 points. And, the Pistons still missed a lot of easy shots, including uncontested lay-ups. So, the Pistons actually did NOT use up "all their O" in game 3. It was all the turnovers by Manu and Beno in the second half for fast break points.
Detroit did not "play their best" in game 3. Just like the Spurs did not play their best in game 1.
I really hope BOTH Detroit and San Antonio play their best games both offensively and defensively for one whole game. Because, then we will see some great basketball.
I don't doubt the Spurs will play much better, especially Manu and Timmy. But, if the Pistons also bring thei "A" game, it will be extremely compe ive and not as easy as some of you Spurs fans seem to think game 4 will be.
Beware of Big Shot Rob, I predict a back breaking Dagger!
What does that mean? Does the NBA allot a certain amount of points per series? If the Pistons play like they did last night (and they can) then it is going to be one of a game. The Spurs best can beat the Pistons best, but not if they are playing last night.
Duncan is the key to EVERY series... Manu is extra an can be replaced if need be... the spurs go as TIM DUNCAN goes... Manu can score 50 but if Tim dosnt do his thing we wouldnt be in the WCF...
TIM=SHAQ
MANU=KOBE
As do I. It will be a shame, for the Pistons.
when I said the pistons used all their o up in game 3
I meant they will not be able to shoot that well in game 4
what is bad is when a team shots very well usually the law of the averages catch up with you
So confident, you are. So dissapointed, you will be..
I seriously doubt that
I disagree, Hamilton and Billups can shoot like that 365 days a year. And 'Sheed hasn't even played his game this series. I do expect Ben and Dice to cool off though, and Prince, well I expect him to suck till summer. But they can still light it up I'm afraid.
I hope Bowen can lock down Rip again and somehow Sheed + Billups won't be enough.
