A good come back to take the lead, but a touch foul by Sheed in the end, a bad set up play for Sheed to take a 3 when they weree only down by one and then a botched play in the last 5 seconds by Tay ends the Pistons streak at 3. Missing 7 ft's doesn't help either.
You can't play passive for a quarter and expect to win a game vs one of your chief competitors.. Give the wiz some respect and play them tougher at their crib....I bet they look at Jamison a little closer in the next game...35Pts  |
I agree. Sometimes have that one quarter when the team gets away from the game plan. For about 6 mins of the 3rd No sharing, no effort on the glass - one and done for the Pistons where Wash was getting all kinds of 2nd chances.
Continuation? I did not see a whole lot of difference between Arena's 2 continuation calls in the 4th and Rip's 2 which Rip did not get. Thats a possible 12 point swing.
Give Wash some credit. They hit the big shots and Coran Butler was 4-4 from the line in crunch time.
Note - Pistons out-boarded the Wiz 47-36. Rebounding was a concern here after the 3 wins. Kind of a hollow stat now but worth noting.
