The pistons will look for lebron to be more aggressive, but he will be in foul trouble and will have to sit out he 3rd quarter. tay will have his showing in the second quarter and will be the assist leader. Webber will elbow Z in the eye and get fined behind closed doors without a suspension, about 3 dollars and a high 5. Detroit will play more man to man. What else?? Detroit will when by 14pts.
I'd love to think this was true and maybe it will be. Unfortunately, to me it has seemed that the only thing that the Pistons take from these unnecessarily close games is something along the lines of: "We won. We love that kind of game. That's where we're comfortable. That's EC playoff basketball. That's our way." (As opposed to something like: "these games were way too close. we are taking them for granted. we need to come out more focused in game 3.")

But i really hope i'm wrong here.
