Only a five point lead and Wade hasn't done much of anything besides draw BS fouls, these refs are just the most experienced at sucking, they've sucked in the most game sevens of all time so says the TNT crew. Ain't looking good for the Pistons... Good thing about this game is that Shaq does not finish games nearly as good as he starts them, but if he keeps getting calls we might see him dunking on Darko. DAMN. Rip ain't going to go 8-10 in the second half, Chauncey has to score though, Rasheed has to keep his composure, McDyess has to hit shots, but most importantly they have to keep out hustling their bigs. I still see a Heat win though, DAMN. I haven't been this excited during a game since half time of the Rockets Mavs game seven. Got damn that sucked.
HAHA! That's what I'm saying. I love nothing more than to see Shaq lose but he always has someone bailing him out! About that replay... Hmm... They better show it right now.
well looks like detroit has blown it. wade went off to get miami back in and nobody on detroit looks like they wanna step up and hit a shot. ben has been worthless any time he's gotten the ball and damn does lindsay hunter suck on offense in the playoffs. he was horrible in the past and none of his shots have even come close in this series. horrible. at least he plays good D on wade.
Up two at home after two huge hustle plays to end the third quarter. Yeah, I'd say the Pistons are working uphill from now on. It should still be exciting as hell though, too bad it looks like a Heat win. DAMN. These refs suck, both sides lately.
I agree, Detroit looks like they are letting the physical play/non-calls get to them. But again, that's when the "superstars" get paid to play, and Detroit doesn't have any of them, although they do have consistent very good players like Sheed, Billups, and Rip. As for Ben Wallace, don't get me started on that pile of most overrated crap in the league. Heck, if Mourning was assured to be healthy, I would take him right now over "Big Ben". How in the heck was that guy the 4th or so on the MVP voting will forever haunt me. Anyways, I really, really like that kid Haslem, he would be the perfect player to have next to Yao on the Rockets. He hustles like no player I have seen in the playoffs on both ends of the court. I really like his game, I think he is the ideal hustle player that every team needs on its roster.
It's not the refs. They've been sucking both ways. Whoever wins it will win it because they won it not because the refs gave it to them.
I think this game has been, so far, officiated better than I would have expected before the game started, I don't think it is the refs as much as it is Detroit panicking a bit. They need to get their composure together. Also, the 4th quarter comes down to superstars: Miami has two (both stepping up here), while Detroit has none. Advanage: Miami. Still, it is only 4 points lead, and Detroit has the better shooters, they will get back.
Uh oh. Pain killers wearing off. Don't know if anyone else believes brain types but Wade shows his a lot in that he sometimes does things that seem like he didn't put much thought into it. You'd never see T-Mac play as recklessly as he did on that fast break or as reckless as Kobe Bryant who shares the exact same brain type as Wade. I think if you really look at their games you will see a lot of similarities, T-Mac is a thinker, Wade and Kobe are feelers, very interesting to me.
how will detroit screw this up? they didn't look like they had championship mettle early in the 4th but maybe they do. i'm still waiting for the miami miracle that will made me avoid sportscenter for about 3 days.
Rasheed post move was right to the defensive strength, but got fouled, so it worked out. He should just stick wit his pet turnaround for remainder of game. Nice rebound and put back for the big lead. Almost takes shaq out of the game. But not just yet.
*shakes head* watching Damon Jones, Keyon Dooling and Wade's last 4 touches reminds me of the Francis-era
I think they should go for three here. Detroit has such good foul shooters. I just don't think Miami can make a big shot like that. Looks like it's over to me.
