Fair enough, he could say that but he doesn't. Once when kobe went to the line, the announcers noted his high free throw shooting percentage, but guess what. They mentioned Billup's when he was at the line as well. And Kobe did make quite a few (read: more than 5) reeeeaaaalllllyyy tough shots that deserve commentating. And when a player makes a shot, even a regular one, is it unreasonable to comment on it. They are, after all, getting paid to do just that. They shouldn't make anything special out of Rip Hamilton hitting a 15 ft. jumper, and they don't, they merely say he scored.

That's just it. When Kobe hits a 15 footer, they slobber all over him.

I am disgusted right now.

Why did Rip Hamilton decide to play like a little girl? And why oh why does Larry Brown coach like Ron Rothstein a day after I said he was brilliant?

"Walton has only averaged 4 minutes in the playoffs." - Doc Rivers when Luke Walton has only played 1 game in the finals.

Hahahahhaa, the irony. You're not comparing the same thing. Luke Walton did average approximately 4.3 minutes in the playoffs. So he rounded. And not playoffs, not finals.

They mention it, they don't go overboard unless it was an amazing 15 footer. They may also connect it to his overall skill, but they do that to Hamilton too.

You know I was at my friends apartment ready to take **** from all of you guys about how I underestimated the pistons and then Kobe hits that shot. I seriously thought after we were up 6 we had a great chance to win the game and the series at that point. We need to recoup and play good on thursday.

It may be hard for the Pistons to maintain that high level of play for that long.

DOC SAID Playoff finals btw..

ah that was so dissapointing, we had that game in our grasps and lakers made some huge plays to take it away from us. i think we were shell shocked going into overtime. game three will be a major barometer for the rest of the series.

Yes. And if you take all the mintus played by Walton in the playoffs, and divide it by the number of games Walton has played in the playoffs, it comes out to 4.3 (That is how you find an arithmetic average). Rounded, that is 4 minutes per game in the playoffs (when rounding to the nearest whole number, if the tenth is below 5, it goes down, if it 5 or above, it rounds up). I don't see what that has to do with how much Walton played in the finals.

My key for Game 3 is to feed the ball to Rasheed and let him rip Karl Malone to shreds. At one point in the third quarter, Sheed scored six in a row on Malone. He needs to have that scoring mindset from tipoff until the final buzzer. I have a good feeling about tonight's.



20 and 10 Sheed, 20 ands 10!

The Pistons plan to practice a little revisionist history going into tonight’s Game 3 of the NBA Finals:

Remember the good things that happened in L.A. — winning Game 1 — and pretend the bad never happened — blowing the end of Game 2 and losing to the Lakers in overtime.

The Pistons spent Wednesday taking it easy, recovering from a red-eye flight back to Detroit. They gathered late in the afternoon to break down film and do some light shooting.

“We’ve just got to out and play for a whole 48 (minutes), not 47 and 50 seconds,” Pistons forward Rasheed Wallace said. “We are supposed to be down? Our psyches are very high right now. We can play with anybody in the league. We’re here.

“Granted, they’re a good team, but we’re not scared of the Lakers. I don’t know why y’all cats think we’re scared of the Lakers, like the Lakers are this dominant force. Yo, we ain’t scared of them cats.”

Ben Wallace said it is great being home for three straight games, but there are other things more important.

“We’re not (thinking) about the games being at home, we’re just looking forward to getting out there and playing the way we’re supposed to be playing,” he said.
