Sure, the players are missing shots, but most of the shots they're taking are bad ones. There's too much isolation and too little off-the-ball movement, and the Pistons do not have the personnel to make that work. If the coach's trust in his players is misguided, as Flip's trust in Chauncey Billups appears to be, then the coach needs to make some adjustments.
And for god's sake, the Pistons could have swept this series if they just ran 2-chest 30 times a game. Rip. Hamilton. Can't. Dribble.
The Pistons are the better team, but all they have to do is not play like it 4 times out of 7 and they will lose the series irrespective of the talent. |
ahb, they didn't need to be the Suns to wins these games, far from it. How is Flip responsible for the turnovers? Ben's 0 for 7 FT shooting? Many good looks were missed. Could Flip have done something different, yes! But the crew is playing like crap. I am absolutely stunned at the choke job the last 3 games. They could have played mediocre and won the last two.
