Basketball (NBA, College, etc.)

Pistons have to find a way to win at home, to regain hm court adv, or they will go home fishing....

Heat have to take it to them, and leave no chances, and dominate...
we'll see for the next game, this coming Wed...

Phx not looking that good, falling 1-2 in the series, and another game without R. Bell will put even more pressure, despite going back to Phx home court for game #4. Dallas has the momentum and has to dominate and find a way to win again, and try to take the series.

I know it may be too early, but a Dallas-Miami series seems more and more likely...But Phx/Det are still not out of it....yet, they are in must win situations now... :beaten: :sweat: :sweat:

I don't like the Heat, but I don't hate them either. And since their opponent is the Pistons, I would just like to say these words........Go Heat! Beat the Pistons! :woot: :hehe:

Now that's more like it :mrgreen: . I'd like to see these 2 teams make it in the finals :thumbsup:

Suns blow out Dallas 106-86 :victory: We have a series again :woot:

it was all PHX in game #4, tied 2-2....
who knows what teams are going to be in the finals....
but Miami has the best chance so far... :sweat: :bonk:

Damn, the Suns really showed why they are a threat in the West. They might be a slow starter, but they could bounce back when they wanted to, like what they did against the Lakers. The Mavericks should have foreseen this, knowing that the Suns is capable of coming back from a deficit in a series :shakehead:

^ This is exactly what Mark Cuban wants: more airtime exposure.

Phx....higher than 100, and shoot better than 45% = victory...
Mav's fail to step up and let Phx run their game...
pressure on Mav's to hold their home court adv...
K. Thomas is back in the line up for Phx, should help their interior defense and maybe a little offense..but if they make it to the finals, and meet up with Miami, could Phx beat Heat in the finals? :doh:
Miami needs to close out their series with a victory, or the Pistons can gain momentum and try to take it to 7 games, like the Suns did.. :sweat:

Yeah, I think the Mavs became over confident entering this game, and as a result, became too careless and let their guard down =T . Kurt Thomas was definitely a give help especially in rebounds. The Mavs should rotate their big men more often (Dampier and Diop) to keep fresh legs inside the key and take the inside to their advantage.

I noticed that the Heat was a totally different team now from what we know of during the closing of the season and opening of the playoffs. They used to be an all Wade-O'Neal team, but when they faced the Nets, it looked like the potential of the whole team was awakened. Antoine Walker, Jason Williams and James Posey got back their game and became a threat to their opponent. Too bad the Nets have to feel their wrath :( .......but at least it continued on against the Pistons :mwahaha: :hehe: :beaten:

hopefully wade and company can shut down the pistons and take it...we'll just have to wait and see tmrw...

Mav's didn't show up tonight, and they cannot win with Dirk shooting that pathetically, look for the Mav's and Dirk to bounce back....they need to win at home, and take it......don't want to mess with Phx, they are fast and dangerous.

Yeah, they should win it or they will regret it later on.

i'd say anyones game....
we'll find out whos going to be in the finals, and take it... :bonk:

game time....5pm

Miami-Detroit...
will Miami advance or Detroit stay alive in the series. :sweat: :sweat:

Pistons wins 91-78 (they're only delaying the inevitable :shakehead: )

in a must win game, Det. steps up and takes it..

pressure back to Miami to win at home, and wrap up the series..., unless Det steals one....and to go back for game #7 in Detroit...would be extremely bad for Miami... :beaten: :beaten:

btw: Miami shoots 6-20 on the foul line...and basically gave this away from the FT line alone....that is pathetic... :beaten: :shakehead:

The tub of lard was 1-5 and Wade was 1-3 :bleh:

if they shoot that horrific in game#6 on the line, and turn the ball over that many times, they deserve to lose....
Miami had many opportunities to win it...and seal it....they failed to execute their offense so many times...and missed way too many freethrows... :shakehead: :banghead:

Damn, just when I thought that the Heat will finally close the series :shakehead: . The Pistons is really making me angry! :argh:

It's the plague that Shaq brought to the Heat, and now it's spreading :beaten: :hehe:

well, the Heat will get another few chances to advance....

Ben Wallace swishes a few free throws tonight...makes...2 of 4...i think, that is not bad, for ben... :sweat: :bonk:

Yeah, they are still ahead in the series so they shouldn't be pressured that much. The next game is back in Miami, so they shoud be able to close the series there......well, hopefully :fingerscrossed:

Ben Wallace got lucky that he didn't get many trip to the freethrow line. Otherwise, he wouldn't be finishing the game at 50% in the the FTs :hehe:

i think the diff in this game for Det was Taushaun Prince...he stepped up, bailed them out, and shot the best field goal percentage out of all of the pistons, he shot 11-17, i think he had a 3 late in the game that put the Pistons up and help them win it....he scored 29. He doesn't play as well on the road...that can be critical for the Pistons....but i am mainly hoping Miami wins the series....we'll just have to wait and see...it is anyones game...Piston's backcourt of Hamilton and Billups shoot 11-33, i think for the game....they got bailed out by T. Prince. :bonk:
