Put it on a big screen during practice put it on the plane for the flight down to Miami show it before warm-ups and just in case they forget and are down at halftime show it again. It should be like in A Clockwork Orange where they are literally forced to watch it and when they start to lose it should give them a pain in the gulliver.

Everyone keeps talking about Wade is on fire. I don't see what he is doing differently. Wade always scores 28-31 points against the Pistons, and Shaq gets his 20+. Combined those two get around 52-58 points against the Pistons. The problem is when the Pistons allow the other players to score 10+ points. If the Pistons can shut down the other player, than I don't care how good they are playing, Shaq and D-Wade cannot beat the Pistons by themselves.

While they're at it, they should show the team the movie "A Clockwork Orange." A scene of Alex and his droogs beating up on the townsfolk is enough to get anyone riled up for a game.

The issue this year is that Wade is shooting a very high % to go with Shaq's high FG%. They are too efficient offensively.

Hence why it's not just enough to limit the role players, because the Pistons have to be offensively efficient as well. Limit turnovers, get easy baskets, convert on jumpers.

I'm talking about an ideal execution strategy to win of course. The Pistons can still pull it out making (more) FTs, forcing turnovers, and hitting 3s, but you cannot count on big shots, friendly refs and steals.

If Rip and Sheed are on, this will be a Pistons win. Of course getting Shaq and Wade in foul trouble would be a big, big help.

Thank you for another great season!

I heard someone mention on TNT (I think it was Reggie Miller) that Rip needs to make Wade work on the defensive end. Pistons can win this damn thing if they do it right. Gotta make Shaq run up and down the court. Miami has chinks in their armor. Gotta expose 'em.

yeah, from what i've heard its because she didn't know how to spell dwayne. other examples of uneducated mothers include:

anfernee hardaway's mum (she was trying to spell anthony)
antawn jamison's mum (she was trying to spell antoine)

agreed. when kobe was scoring 25 points on us it was through taking 25 jump shots. wade only needs 12 or 13 shots to do it.

my concern is miami's perimeter game. i know its nothing special but they did miss A LOT of open outside shots in game 5. if guys like posey, walker and williams hit a couple early and the crowd gets behind them we could be in trouble.

we need to be hitting more 3's. we need it. they haven't been going down lately because they aren't being taken when in the flow of the offence. they are being jacked iladvised (re: billups) or as a shot clock bail out. swing the ball from side to side more and get rasheed some pick n pops as well.

yeah billups is pissing me off. 3-4 break pull up for a 3 ...brick it...heat come back and get a layup. Thanks for single handedly shifting the momentum big guy. That was MVP decision making.

hey, just found a good omen for the game. pistons are 8-0 in game 6's dating back to 2003.
and SIX of those were on the road.
