I want Rasheed Wallace and Antonio McDyess to combine for half of the Pistons' FGA.

Alright onto game 4. Here we go again - another must win game. Lose this and the Pistons are extremely doubtfull to comeback.

Game 3 was about Riley effectivly adjusting to Ben and Prince. Taking away Bens post-game by sending him to the line and throwing different defensive looks at Prince. Time for Flip to adjust and actually stay ahead of the curve for a change.

Ben also seems to be trying to motivate the team to step it up. He cannot guard Shaq and still be there to bail out the rest of the team. Its too much to ask of any one player no matter who are.

At least Billups is back to his old self again. Time to find something that works against Wade and to get Sheed more involved. I would also stop using Delfino and go back to Evans. Delfino would have worked if he had not spent so much time on the bench. You can't rot a guy for so long and expect him to come in stop Wade and contribute offensivly like he used to do before the banishment.

And time to help Ben out and not let your guy glide right to the hoop. Wade will get his and Jay Williams is very quick but no excuse for letting players like Payton, Posey, etc.. have it so easy at times.

This game could quickly take them from the outhouse back to the penthouse (insert playmate jokes)... a loss and they're hanging over the Grand Canyon...
Running out of new material... unless you want to hear about Cato's ingrown toenail... this game can't come soon enough...tic tock.

Tick Tock, LET'S ROCK THE CLOCK.

THIS IS IT.

I am pumped. I am crazy. I want to punish these wimps from South Beach. I've got warpaint on (use your imagination) and we're collecting scalps in chat tonight. No prisoners. Storm the Bastille, raze their villages, plunder their livestock (for non-sexual purposes)!!!

We need to see more of this stuff...

Of course I hope I'm wrong this time, or at least that they win it whether or not they see it as "must win" and I do expect them to bring it and even, I guess, to win Game 4. But I won't be shocked if we come back to the Palace down 3-1. And I won't be shocked if from there we come back to take 3 straight, ugly hard fought games.

This playoff Piston team, unfortunately, does not look like the same Piston team that could weather a 3-1 deficit and work back, it's very sad but realistic to admit this.

That being said, I consider tonights game a MUST WIN for this team!
GO PISTONS!!! Come back to the Palace 2-2 and destroy this Heat team!!

Plus we always do our thang on ABC!!! We can ...we will!

I'm pretty nervous- a win is extremely important (as always) since I don't think this team's able to bounce back and avoid elimination like in the CLE series-
the Heat are better than the Cavs and the motivation after a loss would be way down since it seems to be on a low level already.
I want to see the no-fly-zone again, Wade can't score that easily, that's just sick, that ain't Detroit basketball. Shaq shouldn't make more than 20pts, get him some early fouls, make him word hard for every basket.
If Sheed or Ben should be playing poorly--> roll' the Dice, Flip!!! If Tayshaun runs out of Gas without doing anything--> get Fino in!!!
If CB plays poorly, we're having a serious problem- he barely needs to step up since he hasn't shown being worthy all these MVP- considerations in the postseason.
one last sentence-
I DO NOT WANT TO SEE THIS TEAM BECOMING A WEAKER VERSION OF THE 2004 LAKERS. I WANT TO SEE THE FUNDAMENTALS THE FANS LOVE EM' FOR:
HEART
HUSTLE
DEFENSE THAT MAKES EVERY SO CALLED STARPLAYER AFRAID OF DISAPPOINTING THE MEDIA

I'm a wannabe- GM, but I stand to it.

Chauncey was just interviewed on NBATV... he gave the game plan...

• Start the game posting up himself, Tayshaun & Sheed... play the inside out game instead of settling on jump shots.
• On Wade... send someone at him early...agressive traps try to take the bal out of his hands... with some "clean hard fouls"
• On Shaq try to push him out just a little farther instead of letting him get into his low post sweet spots (good luck with that one).
