That was just a bad 4th quarter. We got down and tried to double down. It was actually a pretty close game at one point and it looked like we might be able to pull it out... but then the wheels came off.

If we don't get HCA, then we would have to close them out in 6.

CB was awful vs Boston and if you ask me , any game that he has under 10 asists is a bad game. Defensively, he cant stop any guard penetration because he is still used to Ben being behind him.
What ticks me off is that Billups listens to the press say that he should dominate Rondo and he just looks full of himself out there. Just play our game and the matchup issues will come to him.

Finally, my biggest worry in games like this is how inept Flip looks on the sideline. How comes he paces the sideline for 48 minutes? That would tell me that you have to look like you're in control. That really coincides with his nervous tick syndrome.

No title, bye bye Flip...period.

You are right, Bro, Flip is a nervous tick as you say, running up down the sidelines with his arms either flapping or folded. If you notice games at the Palace, there is no seat for him to sit in...the assistant coaches and Abdenour take up seats next to the scoring table so Flip gets the same workout as the refs....

In contrast sore hip Phil Jackson only stands during timeouts to give Kobe hi-fives

and oh by the way ...I love stats 'cause I am an old auditor

You all probably know by now that I go with the percentages and historical data.

If we do get to the ECF, we either need to sweep the opponent or take them out in five. Flip has never won game six of a conference final and never made it to game 7.

We'd better not have HCA then either...

Maybe Flip is really amazing in game 7's and has just never had the chance to prove himself.

Flip has only gone to game 7 once with the Pistons and that was vs the Cavs in the second round on 05-06 playoffs. He won that one....but we were down 3-2 and lucky to get to game 7 and win after taking game 6 by 2 pts...

I agree, he's a gamer. If he is willing to put in the time and get his jump shot, especially the longer ones, at least up to passable (think Kidd), he's going to be a force.

True, but he's never had Game 6 of an ECF at home; all 3 of them (one with Minny, two with Detroit) have been on the road in a series where his team was already down 3-2. But if the Pistons play Boston in the ECF and go into Game 6 at the Palace with a 3-2 lead, I'll feel pretty good about their chances.

Re: At Boston March 5 7:30PM

Gamer is a good way to describe Rondo. More than any point or assist totals, it was him fighting 3 Pistons for rebounds and winning. I forgot which analyst said it, but he's has gotten better each game against Billups. He in no way should be able to physically match up with CB but then again neither should Gibson or Jason Williams the last few years.

Re: At Boston March 5 7:30PM

I'm still not seeing Rondo's performance against Billups as anything special.

He was worse in every conceivable stat.

And for all you true point guard lovers out there, you should be thinking assist to turnover ratio.

Billups 7:2. Rondo 1:1. No contest.

Chauncey got fouled more than 10 times. Pretty good for a slow point guard who never penetrates.
