Billups could easily be out or limited in game 5, and the Magic can win. I
hope he plays at least a few minutes, if for no other reason than to spare
us the sight of that coat.
I'm still waiting for Orlando to hit a more mortal number of 3s, but they
could easily make up for that and win if Howard puts up big numbers. I'm
not sure why he had such a weak game yesterday. Detroit worked hard, but
weren't superhuman. I was pleased, though, to see Wallace get some smart
scores off of him in the second half.
Prince was great again, and Hamilton was excellent. He pushed himself this
game, but unlike a lot of times when he stretches, he stayed smart, and
didn't get stuck on trying to drive through traffic every time he got the
ball -- he stayed with his medium range catch and shoot game.
Stuckey wasn't great, but he avoided ugly turnovers, and Hunter was sharp.
I think Saunders did a good job in a tough situation subbing and showing
trust in his team. |

Anita also finds ways to decide that a win is actually a loss, usually
involving some kind of metaphysical stuff about statements or something.

He's already decided that the Pistons are losers because they should have
won something like 4 straight championships by now, with the best talent by
far in the NBA, except that Saunders for some impossible to understand (for
Anita) reason wasn't giving Milicic and Delfino enough minutes back in 06. |

Not that one...
They were a 7th seed, Pippen out hurt most of it... they should not have
been in it at all against a hot 60 win Dallas team that still had Nash and
went to the CFs. NVE was a late edition and rescuesd the mavs at the end
of game 7 saving them from being the first team to lose after being up
3-0....

All true, but I was more taken by the sheer size of his watch. -- Joe >> Stay informed about: Game 3, Magic |

At least he wasn't doing a Flava Flav and wearing it on a chain around his
neck.
On another note, I have to say I wasn't expecting the Pistons to be the
only team so far to win on the road in the second round. I hope they stay
the only team after tonight to give Billups more time to heal, assuming
they do close it out soon. >> Stay informed about: Game 3, Magic |

You've got to be joking right? Why would a key playier fake a injury
during the playoffs?... Sometimes I just think you'll say anything no
matter how stupid it is just to get a rise out-of-folks... >> Stay informed about: Game 3, Magic |
