Some key points to get a W, IMO, are:

Get Ben involved in the offense for the git go. He will energize the team.

Feed Sheed in the post.

CB should use other players to get ball movement/offensive opportunities i.e. maybe Rip coming off a curl and not get caught dribbling it to death at the top of the circle.

CB needs to be aggressive with Payton and Williams. When is he going to realize that the mis-match is in his favor?

Wade seems to heat things up in the 4th. Show him a new defensive wrinkle in the 4th which is different than the way he was guarded the first 3 qtrs.

Anyone know why Riley announced that Wade has the flu for Game 6? That guy always seems to have an agenda. Wonder what it is?

The 2 games that we won in this series, Ben was involved offensively and as a result, he brought the energy all over the court and the teams feeds of him. So yes, get him involved early.

When will we start hitting 40% or more from the 3 point land this series? My answer is Game 6.

Get ready for their zone D.


MEN AT WORK!!!
DETROIT BASKETBALL!!!

According to ESPN.com Wade missed today's practice with "flu-like symptoms, marking the second straight year his health has been a major factor entering Game 6 of the Eastern Conference finals."

Hmmmm sounds like nerves to me! Don't worry Wade, it'll all be over soon. Only 2 more games left and then you'll have all summer to recover.

Good points Anakin, should be the plan every game, but someone always seems to deviate from the obvious and of course the other team has something to do with it by making their own in game adjustments.

My keys are: just take the high percentage shots, stay aggressive and hustle, get in the lane & make your Fts, and limit their paint production, don't argue with the refs and take the crowd out of it early and keep them out of it...Go Pistons

Hee Hee thanks for posting. Dehydration? This guy is so fragile.

Myamee is feeling the pressure.Everyone has covered what we need to accomplish tonight.I said before if we keep playing like we were Myamie would take the series.Well we've shown some blips on the life support monitor and I would be really suprised if this doesn't come back to the Palace.

By the way does Lindsey think he's Sheed or something??
"We're gonna go take that Game 6," Hunter said. "We're not going to steal it, we're gonna go take that Game 6." Just bring it home boys I'm not ready to quit yet.

If hunter said it. Its a given. The palace better get ready for game 7

let's go, Pistons. bring it back home for a game 7.

Chat is open!!!

And now, a rap.

Hey I gotta start it
The Heat be carted off
ya soft
Pistonsforum.com will flood that's gotta warn ya
what in blazes
hey this is phat
weigh this
I'll portray this
photographs so the last laugh
is mine you're behind
for the mind and for the soul

that's how I roll
now I hold
the ball with my life
depended on it
I'm done ya bond it
Haslem don't want it
and I'm apart from wackness
I'm separated

did you like how I spiked the ball
despite ya all
you could come bite a small portion
there's more in the vault
halt, have a malt
I alter your brain patterns
yet it's my fault

I sustain phatter blends
of words heard, stampede
damn GP reach with those buckteeth?

Chorus
"Just me, no simile, never score simpily, cause it was meant to be, the
truth, the truth, and nothing but the truth, I tell it to the youth,
propelling with the proof, in the puddin', wouldn't you like to know?
Oh, no you didn't, my flows never quittin', and that's the truth, the
Detroit Pistons' truth my man."

I'm on the scrimmage
waitin' for your funky imitations
and I'm not discriminating
myself, when I'm making my wealth

pure facts

hard for me to endure wack south Beach
I drive the lane with ease
I'm tellin' you that Ben is truth
appealin' through your arteries
you scar your knees
bowing, praising, now when I phase in
like Kitty Pride
city wide
confer to kick the rumor
Wade admit he lies

the truth will set you free
when I upset the Heat
execute the Heat
I do my best to mute those Heat
all it takes is intelligence
I'm great with embellishments
they need a savior
so Ben is sent...

Chorus
"Just me, no simile, never score simpily, cause it was meant to be, the
truth, the truth, and nothing but the truth, I tell it to the youth,
propelling with the proof, in the puddin', wouldn't you like to know?
Oh, no you didn't, my flows never quittin', and that's the truth, the
Detroit Pistons' truth my man."

You know our attributes
so don't act cute
it's moot
a closed casket
the most massive
fluff, just me
no simile
never score simpily
cause it was meant to be
never concluded
sever your crew with
microlazer surgery,
I get Shaq fouled up like fouls like Rasheed Wallace man
now all of you stand
like a congregation
on the basement floor
hip-hop
not carin' sharin'
tearin' Posey here in clones
wearin' bones
skeletons, your plasma is like gelatin
and tell a friend
who's developin'
cause Tay's intelligent...

Chorus
Yeah, my basketball technique, will make ya body freak,
my basketball technique, will make ya body tweak,
my basketball technique, will make ya body seek,
the beaning, double-teaming, on your soft as charmin brain.

-adapted from "Missing Link" by Del Tha Funkee Homosapien & Dinosaur Jr.
