Err…
Pick a game between Detroit and Boston? Hell, flip a coin.
It’s a best-of-3 series now, and in this situation, you gotta go with the team with home-court advantage.
And that’d be Boston.
I guess I’m tipping the Celtics then.
But tight?
Blowout?
Who the hell knows?
Anyone who tells you that they do know is lying.
Period.
If Boston are going to do anything more, then the big three - including Ray Allen - must step up. Must.
If Detroit are going to get going, then Flip should play Stuckey a little more. And Maxiell. Billups has advantages, but he’s obviously not 100%. He’s not even 75%.
If the Detroit Pistons win this one… forget about it. They will close out in game 6 at home.
Aaagh… would it surprise me for the Pistons to come out and win this? No.
Would it surprise me if the Celtics won this game by 20? No.
How about Boston winning by 3? No surprises there.
Unbelievable.
But picking possible results out of a hat… let’s see… ok, it’s Boston winning by a less-than-7 margin.
And the reasoning behind that is purely feeling. No reason other than a) I have a feeling, and b) Boston were the better team during the season.
That’s all I have, that’s all anyone has… anyone who tells you different is full of it.
is the spirit of Bill Russell controling Kendrick Perkins’ body tonight? 4 of 5 shooting and 4 rebounds in the first 9 minutes?
Kendrick my man! 6 of 9 shooting for 12 pts, 13 rebounds and a blocked shot in under 20 minutes……
Phenomenal stuff from Perk… who’da thunk it?
no one,
ever,
in a million years,
unless they’re on crack
looks like Ray got game again….
check the line of the Cs bench in 3 qtrs - 3 players sharing less than 17 1/2 minutes, 0 of 1 shooting, 3 rebounds, 1 assist, 1 turnover, 0 points
As I said man… flip a coin.
106-102… down to the wire.
Sheesh…
holy 4th quarter meltdown!!!
Yup… and back to Motor City.
Don’t like your chances there Rob… this one’s going the distance.
Yet another 7 game series for Boston!
Sheesh… and if the Lakers can close out the Spurs tomorrow…
I think we get blown out in Game 6, but win Game 7 at home….
Is that ‘think’, or ‘hope’?… at least with regards to winning game 7.
Should be a hellishly good 2 games coming up…
I “think” we get blown out in Game 6, I “guarantee” a home court win in Game 7
O… guarantees? Your last name now ‘Wallace’?
Broadway Joe Namath, baby
Actually… I think I’ll dub thee ‘Jameer’.

but rip might be out for the game tomorrow..
in which case I’d like to rethink my blown out prediction…..
I don’t see anyone stepping into Rip’s shoes and pouring in 25+
@ brumbygg9
got that right man.. and with billups nursing his groin injury, it’s gonna be a tough tough time for the pistons..
don’t encourage me…. my hopes are already up!!!!
game is on live here from 7:30am tomorrow…. brumby, breakfast and boston have a date!!
Yup… a nice ‘n’ easy 9:30am here for game 6.
I’ll be watching if it’s on TV, if it’s not (and it had better be), be keeping track via the net…
Looking forward to it!
Rob - you should hit one of the live-blogs…
as Rip goes, so go the Pistons…
Rip plays and he’s 100% - Pistons by 15
Rip plays and he’s around 75% - Pistons by a bucket
No Rip - RIP Pistons, Celtics by 10
See you at the game!
