Re: Pistons/Magic 2nd Round Game 4 Sat May 10 5pm

See this is what you call stealing a game. Down 18 early in the 3rd and down again by what 3 in the final 2 mins with Tukolgu heating up, The Pistons found a way to win. Prince hitting that floater with 9 secs to go down by 1, gotta love it. Magic could not answer. That game had to be so deflaiting for them, even the crowd seemed to just sit there after the game wondering how they lost.

Big game by Rip. Someone had to step in and pick up the slack and that guy was Rip as he spurred on the Pistons all game, especially in the 2nd half. He totally abused whoever they threw on him. Boggans grabbed a tech in the 4th as he threw Rip in frusteration. Not to rag on the Magic but they do have a few immature guys who do take cheap shots. They keep talking about how physical we are and yet they are ones getting the flagrant fouls. Kind of cheap shot team in a way. Hunter stepped up pretty big helping out Stucky, coule of plays where Nelson blew by him a little to easily but Hunter was solid overall.

Anyway. Would have been nice to see Amir play as I think he could have helped out there but you can't complain about a playoff win in any shape or form.

Final note - Why couldn't Mo Evans have played like that when we had him?
