CB and Rip were the escape goats in this one. I would liked to have seen more JMax too, but Dice was finally productive, CWebb was pretty good, and Sheed was still producing, so I don't think it would have made much difference to get JMax in there. Flip Jr was great in the second quarter, and Tay finally got off the schneid a bit, but was still outscored by LeBron by 19. Turnovers and stupid forced shots were a big problem in the second half, as was the undisciplined cheating off the perimeter shooters. On a positive note, the rebounding was good, even for the game. But if the two All-Star guards don't SHOW THE $#^% UP in Game 4, it'll be going back to the Palace 2-2 and with all the pressure on the Pistons.
