OST: Eastern Conference Semifinals: (2) Detroit vs (3) Orlando, DET WINS 4-1

[Tahoe]

We're up 20 and I dont' feel like we shook these guys.

The OMag won't quit.

Stuckey's gettin it done too. Love this guys game.

[Black Dynamite]

Theo in a series that fits him now. Also credit to Flip for being Ballsy enough to leap frog Jarvis and Hunter for Walter. One thing Hermann does that Hayes doesnt, is move without the basketball and make his decisions faster.

Also a credit to Flip for trusting his bench a lil' more. I think his coaching was fairly solid so far.

[Black Dynamite]

Stuckey's gettin it done too. Love this guys game.

Dooling does give him fits because he's fast too. But off a screen he can't keep up.

[Tahoe]

Hayes gets in and takes a really dumb 3.

[Black Dynamite]

Smart 3(catch and shoot), but his attitude is probably fucking his focus. Kinda goes hand in hand.

we're playing like crap. we should be up at least by 24 points by now. oh wait, we are! lol

this is the type of pistons' ball i expect to see. if we can play like this for another 5 weeks, we'll be polishing another trophy soon.

but we've got a LONG road ahead to even have a chance at that. but i'm HOPING that we 'get it' now and we will see much more of this team and not the one we saw early in the philly series.

bench is what really extended this lead tonight- j-max, stuckey, even RATLIFF FCOL have been huge. great game by everyone all around....

[Higherwarrior]

i believe his 7th gets a 1 game suspension. then every 2nd one after that is another game......i THINK.

Yeah that sucks. Is it like in the regular season where every other tech gets a suspension or is it just every seventh?

[Black Dynamite]

Good start. Gotta win game 2. Losing home games is not an option against the magic(who will play alot better at home).

Also I stress alot of credit to Flip for going with the different bigger rotation to counter the awkward placement of matchups on orlando's side(several guys playing several positions).

Also I expect mo evans to lose his starting job by game 3.


Lastly SVG lost his poker face throwing Redick in there. A guy he didnt play most of the year. Scratching for a way to match our depth. One of the advantages of playing a deep bench.

[Kstat]

Flip Saunders send a rather graphic message in that game.

Fantastic strategy to open things up, and even better rotations.
