[…] Hill admitted before Game 3 that his gameplan to contain Rip was to play as physical as possible, but by then it was already […]

I thought it was funny in the first 8 minutes of the game Orlando tried to get physical. It drove Sheed to get a tech and numerous fouls to be called…

I thought the turning point in the game was whenever old man Davis was on the floor hammering them young boys down, almost kinda like teaching them a lesson. After the shove of Keyon Dooling, that changed the tone of the game for Detroit. Clearly, momentum shifted into Detroit’s favor after that.

It also had to be a backbreaker of sorts whenever Jameer Nelson would score, because then most of the time on the next possession Billups would come down and bury a J in his grill.

I was frustrated at the beginning, but I knew this game was never in doubt.

Who will step up in game 4? Dice is having a not-so splendid series. Maybe he’ll take over this time. And Dale Davis? A few added pts. won’t be that bad…

Is the Magic institution stupid or what?
First the “code blue” thing and how it really means a patient is in distress and now this:

“The Magic asked their fans to wear blue T-shirts as part of their “Code Blue” postseason marketing campaign, but the team wore white, making the arena look more like a Pistons crowd.”

What is it with them?!

Just saw Flip’s post-game press conference. Funny moment when a reporter asked Flip what he thought of all the techs. Flip replied something like, “what, you don’t have direct TV, you’ve never seen one of our games?” Ha ha ha!

[…] Everytime a curse is lifted, a great team must play their best but this time the Pistons had a sub-par performance but good enough to get past the Orlando. […]

how could tnt’s coverage ever be better than blaha and special k? I guess I am unabashedly biased beyond any reasoning you could give me.

4th quarter and no collapse..hopefully we will not see one. I also hope that if a win comes tonight, detroit does not think they can cake-walk game four against a demoralized magic team. a sweep would be so great-esp with regular season 4-0 against the magic… a full 8-0 against the magic, hah.

I don’t know, I kinda like TNT’s coverage. I mean nothing against Blaha and Special K, but Marv and Steve are pretty good. (although they aren’t going nutz)

And yes, 4 techs. (so far) With the first one, I think Marv wondered aloud if there were stats seeing which refs gave the most techs. (hello, Steve Javie) Steve Kerr replied that teams chart that, so the info is out there.

And holy crap what an awesome play heading into halftime — that was nuts.

Great, I’m watching the TNT telecast the night that Blaha apparently goes crazy on the air. Anyone by chance know how to throw that tantrum up on YouTube?
