Detroit vs. new Jersey

one great game by billups...but do keep in mind the nets were 28-13 at home and 19-22 during the regular season.

by **Matt** on Sat May 08, 2004 5:21 pm

this game had 2 key points that turned it around

1. Wallace and Brown getting techs, that got the Pistons goin and
2. Ben Wallace steal on Collins (Q3) at the top of the key, which translated into an alleyoop, he got another 2 steals in a short amount of time and gave momentum....he also scored 6 straight points, i think 2 15ft J's :shock:

from the the Pistons didn't give up a FG for like 9mins, no fastbreaks for NJN, they were attrocious in the halfcourt and Pistons, especcially Billups and Hamilton were making plays. Hamiltons touch was good from all over, and Prince played well on Jefferson in the 2nd

basically, in the 2nd Half Pistons totally shut down the Nets break oppourtunities, and had quite a bit of steals in the Nets own half

Kidd wasn't playing good after the half, then again none of the Nets were

i thought the play of the game came in the 4th when the nets were making their last comeback: martin looked like he had the defensive rebound but lost it, ben wallace picked it up, missed the layup, then billups tipped it in.

I really liked their run in the fourt quarter I believe, where Wallace and Billups were making their 3-pointers, and then Hamilton made another 20ft jumper.

Also, you got to mention the onehanded putback slam by Rasheed Wallace over Kenyon Martin and Jason Collins I think :cool:

by **Matt** on Sun May 09, 2004 1:04 pm

yeah that came right at the beginning of the 4th. Hamilton made the same shot twice in Kittles face!!!!!

regardless of which team will win, this will be a pretty lame series..
i mean if the pistons win the game: they would win by large margin
that goes also for the nets....

the the series itself will be a hard fought series but the game itself will be a meltdown regardless of which team wins the game..

by **Matt** on Mon May 10, 2004 8:07 pm

based on the 3 games your right

Pistons lose by 20 pointas or sumthin, the 1st quarter was painful.....damn that RJ bastard!!!! :evil:

but i don't think you'll see Detroit shooting 28% very often.....they have time to adjust and get game 4 hopefully

i think Ben Wallace is getting 12ppg and 15.3 rpg, not bad

Shit!!!! down by 23, game over really
Hamilton is the only one that scores....i think he's got the team last 5 FG's. this is pathetic, no other Piston has reached 10 points. NOT HAPPY!!!!!!! the pressures on, anything less than a crack at the Pacers is a huge failure. Billups needs his shot back, instead of giving it to Kidd

:roll:

oh well, theres always Game 5

by **Matt** on Wed May 12, 2004 12:36 pm

Hamilton has 30 now....he's 11-20, and 2-3from 3's

also the only Piston to have more than 2 FG's

2-2...the Nets aren't done yet. (Jinx alert

)

well im not hgonna lose faith in the Pistons. I stil think they will win.....it all depends on Billups though. When he plays well they usually win and vice versa

im sticking to my 4-3 Pistons win, however the pressure is on in Game 5, they MUST win, and then hopefully close out on the road

take a look at last seasons Pistons-Philly series it went W-W-L-L-W-W
Nets are better than Philly, but Pistons are better than last year so i'mm hoping they can win the next 2. I think the Pacers are an easier opponent than the Nets. JO shoots pretty bad, and Tinsley can't defend Billups

one series at a time though

My sig says it all.

by **alexboom** on Wed May 12, 2004 10:36 pm

like the SA-LAL series, the series won't start until a team lose at home :cool:

by **air gordon** on Thu May 13, 2004 6:06 am

with the game being on friday, i hope that's enough time for billups and rasheed to recover from their injuries. it would be very disappointing if these 2 injuries play a big role in deciding the series rather then the players themselves

i'm very impressed with new jersey's 2 second fast break

by **Matt** on Thu May 13, 2004 10:42 pm

yeah wats with that. 2,3 seconds and they score. That's not good for the Pistons. That means that Nets don't spend energy and are ready to play D

Pistons need to slow down the transition game of Jersey, and look to Sheed early....at least Hamilton has been consistent

if Pistons cant do the right things then there only hope is DARKO!!!! maybe he can come onto the court and sucker punch Kidd and Martin so that theyre out for the series.....seriously though Pistons have to take care of business

CHAUNCEYyYYYYYYYYYYYYYYYYYYYYYYYYYYYYYYYYYYYYYYYYYYYYY FROM HALFCOURT! THIS IS ONE THE BEST PLAYOFFS IN NBA HISTORY! SO EXCITING!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!! :shock:

I think Billups tried to do too much. Pass the ball CB! Then Scalabrine hits the potential GW shots... :doh:

I'm not a pistons fan, but I want them to win.
