I know...we just need to get some buckets. Missing easy points, not taking 3 point shots...ugh. What a nightmare. It was like watching a different team play.
I knew the game was over last night when Shaq and Wade were out and we still couldn't keep them from the net.
The only reason we didn't get our asses whooped was free throws.
But the Pistons do work best under pressure and the only good thing about losing this game is that now they will have every opportunity to correct the mistakes they made last night.
If anyone can do it, it's the Pistons.
You both make valid points. The Pistons for some reason do start to play some real ball when under pressure as if they would give you the 3-0 lead only to humiliate you to come back and take the series 4-3.
At the same time yeah it's like what you said Heat wants vengeance badly and if some miracle they take the next game in Detriot and take a 2-0 lead they're gonna look to finish it off in Miami for sure. I'm not saying that's likely to happen... taking it to game 6 & 7 however will put Heat in a dangerous spot. If guys like Payton (plus Shaq and Wade) can step up like what he did in Game 1 then have no fear for we have a real series in hand.
