Journal Sentinel - The Pistons, who lost Game 1 and nearly blew a double-digit lead in the final minutes of Game 2, are looking like a team that has yet to recover from facing elimination games twice in their previous series.

"Let's face the fact," said Pistons coach Flip Saunders at the team's practice facility Wednesday. "We had two elimination games in 6 and 7 (against Cleveland). You're playing pretty much every other day, and as the series progresses, it does become kind of a grind.

"We have to get back to having fun and we have to get back to playing the way we were playing as far as moving the basketball, being more aggressive offensively and making basketball plays."

damn right.
