Yeah, so it's not the most bold statement in the world to say the Pistons will win their series against the Bulls. No NBA team has ever blown a 3-0 lead, the Pistons will not be the first. A few points:
1. That come from behind win in game three was amazing. That's what makes the Pistons tough, their ability to adjust. After scoring only 28 pts in the first half on the road, it would have been pretty easy to call it a day and get ready for game four. The Pistons obviously did not do this. They turned up the defensive pressure a young team and forced them into bad shots and contested every look. This turned into all kinds of scoring opportunities.
2. The Bulls fans left game three early, they could sense the SERIES was over. Bulls fans started leaving that game so early. They left with the Bulls down only four or five. They did this because they knew it didn't matter. After that third quarter the game was over. There was no life in that building the rest of the night. A demoralizing loss like that is just that, it's the killer.
3. The Bulls didn't win game four, the Pistons lost it. They got complacent on Sunday. There is no way the Bulls win game five, take that to the bank. The fact that the series is stretched out another few days could be good so the Pistons aren't stale when they face either the Nets or the Cavs.

Hey sports fans, I see we have a few joiners. Sorry I don't have to time to put a real post together or post back about that payroll post (props to Blake for putting that together...if tyou rad this blog , you probably love the commiment to research).
We made time to catch the game bec if the Pistons swept, I wanted to see it. As I watched the game, it was like watching a little brother get swatted around by his big brother. The only reason that lead got so big was bec Chauncey and Rip BOTH sat out for half of th third quareter. I mean, they are good, but to erase a 20 pt lead in that amount of time two nights in a row is tough.
But to keep going wih wha Blake said, the Pistons did lose it. They had the ball TWICE with plenty of time being down onl 7 when they could have got it to 5 and gave it up (I believe there was a turnover and a missed Tayshawn 3 from the corner).
That's all for now. I'll be back full time soon.
