Pistons/Magic 2nd Round Game 4 Sat May 10 5PM

tv: ESPN

Someone linked something in the game 3 thread about Flip saying that he will announce Billups status 1 hour before the game. So we will see.

I believe in Rodney Stucky.

My pick: Pistons 94 Magic 87

I will be sending Flip mind signals to play Amir, take Sheed off Lewis all game, play AA, stop Rip from ball-hogging and other general b-ball stuff.

Hopefully, he has good service.

If you think about it, who could guard Amir if he was allowed to work in the post? I know he is raw but he can put up a lot of points. Maybe even get Howard in foul trouble as he would have to help out.

Assuming Billups can't go I would like to see Dixon activated, who knows maybe he will get hot.

At any rate. Orlando can't possibly shoot near 50% in 3's again.

If he gets to play, Dixon will at least win one game for the pistons.

Dixon's my choice to back up Stuckey.

Never have I heard Billups name mentioned so much in a game that he wasn't playing in (Spurs-Hornets) . You would have thought he was the MVP....or some thing

Actually, if Dixon played, it would make sense to start him in this series. This puts Dixon guarding Nelson, and Stuckey guarding the taller Dooling when he spells Nelson. (Arroyo has been playing due to an injury for Dooling, but Dooling is back now.)

Note, Dixon starting would not mean Dixon plays more than Stuckey, Stuckey could come in quite early and beat up on Nelson some before Nelson sits.

Also, please note, I don't think playing Dixon would help us near as much as playing Afflalo more. Between Afflalo, Tay, Rip, and Stuckey, we do have enough guards.

I say sit Billups down for game 4 regardless. he needs to be absolutely healed. Also trust that Flip makes the right moves. He will... Pistons 106 - Magic 94.

This is good.

Priceless

My uncle always says he remind him of Jon Lovitz.

I don't see that as much as Mario from the original SMBros
