The spurs shoulda won in regulation, but we made tons of mistakes, and the Pistons probably should have won in OT but they made a few mistakes.
Nice game, folks. Entertaining as , even if I didn't like the result.
Horry is the ONE GUY you MUST not leave alone. Ouch.
Well, we'll see what the Pistons are made of on Tuesday.
This series is a lot more fun than a lot of folks predicted, huh?

Who knew Horry would get so hot? at the same time I don't see why Coach larry Brown did not put a body on him, at the same time look how Billups kept going untoched to the basket also.
they got scared of manu driving... they collapsed..
You've got to cover Robert Horry in the three point area.
It's odd how Larry Brown made two mistakes in that one play. First, you never leave Horry open around the 3pt area, second, you never leave the inbounder (again Horry), and I found this to be very surprising.
I was talking to my housemate how the Spurs should go for 3 and end the game, given that they have made many mental mistakes in the final couple of minutes, and that they are on the road. I am just glad they actually hit that shot.
BTW, my heart had a total workout yesterday.
I would of rather had Manu drive the ball with everybody staying at home on the 3 Point shooters. At worst, if you dont foul, we are going to another OT. Horrible coaching by LB and a huge mental mistake by Sheed.
brown didn't tell sheed to double team... it was all the players tonight...
I think if you watched Brown's post game comments, you could see he pretty much blamed Sheed for the mistake. something like, "My background, down two, I'm damned if I let my guy take a three. I'm telling them nine seconds, we'll take it to the rim, get fouled, get a chance to offensive rebound. That's how dumb I am."
OUCH!!!
I wasnt saying Brown told Sheed to double, but that should have been stressed a lot during that last time out.
Thanks, 'Sheed.
I think Brown was saying that it was "obvious" not to double away from Horry, and that was Sheed's fault.
"much blamed Sheed for the mistake."
It was the Sheed trade that got the Pistons over the hump last season to win le.
Sheed, a lot of talent, but not much of a basketball player.
I knew if I put the Robert Horry bobblehead in the closet he'd learn his lesson and step up like a real man.
thankgoodness.
And I'm sure he's alot happier now out in the open, on his nice shelf next to Tony.
and your gonna keep playing good now arn't you Robert?... yes... you don't want to go back in that dark lonely closet do you??.... no.. good boy.
Anyone who has a clue as to who he is.
If the pistons didn't have Rasheed Wallace, they would be behind Indy in the eastern conference. He was the Championship-caliber player they needed to get over the top. But he hurts his team with his mental breakdowns.
Robert Horry sold his soul long ago. It's refreshing that we're on the winning end of it now...
That was shocking because it is so basic. Teams invariably have a shooter inbound the ball when they need a score during crunch time with the hope that either the opponent leaves him or that the inbounder can drift beyond the arc and get a good look a little later on. 'Sheed's mistake was so freaking basic it's sad.
I know why.
Why did the Pistons leave Horry wide open?
To make him a legend...
It happens!
Even if he was covered, he still would have knocked down that 3.
Horry drilled a 3 right in guaranSHEED's face earlier in that game.
Meh, this was the first really good game of the series.
Game 1 and 2 were embarassing to the Pistons.
Games 3 & 4 were embarassing to the Spurs.
That said, I'm hoping the Spurs blowout the Pistons in Game 6.
I Agree.
Rasheed left him open because David Stern and ABC instructed him do during the timeout. They needed to add some drama to the game and the series. Don't you people realize that they script these things!!! What do you think that all the screenwriters that were put out of work by the influx of reality TV turned to to keep working? The NBA. It's so damn obvious. I just wish Woodward and Bernstein weren't just resting on their sorry ass laurels and would bother to break this story.
We left Rob open in 2003, and that play still haunts me because that shot was 80% down before popping out. You can ask anyone here.... I was mad as at Duncan for leaving him and running to the basket for the rebound instead. It was eerily reminiscient of when Rodman pulled the same crap in game 1 of the 1995 Finals, and Horry buries the wide-open 19 footer to take the game. I can't tell you how lucky we were that the one time Big Shot Rob missed the big shot was against the Spurs, but I'm still mad as we gave that shot up 2 years ago. I was so shocked when it didn't fall.
