I expect this to be a bit of a more up tempo game. Also the players might run more today thinking that by running the game will end faster and they will get to their Christmas dinner's faster. LOL

By the way I heard rumors that there is another basketball game on the tube today. Though I can'd confirm if its a pro game or amatuer game.

Happy Holly Days to everyone.

Very late, around midnight before I can watch the game and write a report on it.

@lee - There was no time limit indicated. We'll say 2 days...

Thank you for another great season!

This is it folkes. One hour to the biggest game of the season. Time to see what our team is made of.

With Ginobili out Parker will have to make up his offense and he will have to do it against the best defensive point in the league C.Billups.

You know they will switch Bowen over on Rip since that worked so well in the Finals and with Rip's sore back he may have trouble. So to me the keys are for Billups to stay on the floor as much as possible to neutralize PArker and take advantage of Parkers smaller size offensivly, Tay to step up offensivly against Finley and Sheed to keep Duncan busy.
Above all keep Netrovic, Mahomed, Marks and everyone else off the offensive glass. Spurs do not have anyone averaging over 2 offensive boards a game so lets keep it that way and limit their 2nd chance scoring opportunities. If there is one achillies heal thats it and we can lose this game by simply giving up more shot opportunities.

With that said I believe the team will step up with Ben Wallace leading the way having a huge game defensivly and on the boards.

Pistons 94 Spurs 88

Whether its Rip or CB, we have to take advantage of Parker's height and size offensively. Sheed, stay out of foul trouble. Tay and Ben, do what you always do.

Has anyone wonder, has any of our opponent's big 3 (SF, PF and Center) foul out playing against us???

I'm gonna barf if they don't stop talkin about WNBA's Tony Parker..

It is okay if we talk about the Smush Parker?

Actually on that note I think I will start a new thread. Smush or Tony Which Parker would you choose?

We'll see how much they talk about Smush in the next game..

lol bill walton ... the score is 6-4 and he goes 'tony parker is outscoring the entire pistons team' ... just wow.

Another win by our Pistons.. McDyess was a beast!
