one guy did a detailed 4th Q breakdown and reported like 10 missed fouls against us and 0 for them.

Reminds me of that movie the 6th sense "They only see what they want to see"

Looking at the box 27 whistled on the Magic and 24 on the Pistons, and thats with the intentional fouls at the end.

16-28 FT's for the Magic and 28-32 for the Pistons. Thats the game right there.

Sheed did hack the hell out of Howard when he stole the ball in the 4th quarter.

they think it was bad againt us, wait till they play against a superstar like james or kobe..... lol... they turn the ball over 21 times shoot 50 percent from the line and want to blame a few "missed" calls....

uhh huhhh

the magic got the benefit of almost every borderline call in the game, except for a stretch where she lot a lot of FTs in the 2nd quarter (i believe). they're just whining.

How long is his contract and/or when does become a FA? Remember the old saying, if you can 't beat em, then join them.

If he has two more years, maybe Joe should make a play for him 2011? Can't you see the Pistons in 2 years from now DHow in the middle, Stuck at the 1, AA at the 2 and AJ the SF and Max the PF, with Tay, CB and Samb coming off the bench and Hunter as the HC

He’s not the only one who could use the rest, though. Small forward Tayshaun Prince said he felt a little tired in the third quarter of Game 5. He’s averaging a team-high 39.4 minutes per game in the playoffs and was on the floor for 42.2 minutes a night against Orlando.

Looks like Tay doesn't agree with those ppl who say it's OK for him to play those min. The dreaded "tiredness"

This could all be solved by playing AA at back-up SF.

His contract runs out in 2013 but he has a player option for that year.
