Glad the post helped RM! But I'd say keep the odds-makers' opinion on the down low for now. I wouldn't want the Pistons to know that. In fact, I'd say that our odds of the Pistons actually showing up tomorrow night (and therefore winning) increase with every single media person/oddsmaker/pundit that counts them out, and that counts them out loudly and aggressively. ahhhh, the paradoxes of pistons fandom... gotta love it

Dre, we attacked the paint and got nothing. We don't have that kind of team. Nor can we rely only on Sheed down in the post. Cleveland blocked 10 shots in game 5. Those were down in the paint. Most of those blocks were then turnovers. We only shot 10 threes with Billips shooting most of those--but not after the ball came back to him but right away.

Watch the Spurs or the Mavs play or even the Heat. They take threes regularly. But their offenses have a purpose. We can score but only when we move the ball and when we take the jumper. How did we score in the 4th last game? Dyss took the jumpers. We had a play from Hunter to Rip to Dyss for the lay-in.

Larry's offense was pound it in and attack and we got like 28 points for a half at Indiana last year in the playoffs. Flips offense was suppose to correct this. That is why I am totally at a loss when I see what I am seeing. A lot of it started with Sheed who lost his rythym.

And Chauncey has wanted to look good instead of playing. He has thrown the ball away at key points or gotten blocked, etc. He needs to take a whole bunch of shots but in the flow of the offense. And a lot of those shots should be jumpers. If Barrejo switches to him, he can shoot as Barrejo must give him room.
