Finally

Obviously, like everyone else who is a Piston's fan, I was extremely pleased with the Piston's performance on Tuesday. They not only showed up, but they also played their brand of basketball us fans have come to know and love. Ben Wallace started the party, McDyess continued it, and Billups and Hamilton closed the deal.

While I think the Pistons will win tonight, I don't think Duncan and Manu will play as poorly as they did on Tuesday. I expect this game to come down to the last few minutes. Geesh, the first 3 games have pretty much been lopsided for the most part. If the Piston's win tonight, the series will start on Sunday. The winner of that game will definitely win the series in my opinion.

The interesting thing about this series so far has been the mediocrity of Rasheed and Tay. Rasheed didn't play bad in game 3, but he needs to post up Horry more often instead of taking those 3's early in the shot clock. He can take Horry all day.

I thought McDyess was amazing. His hustle and rebounding was great to see. Duncan is really going to have to pay attention to him in the post from now on. If Antonio can give them another 10 -14 points and 6-8 boards tonight, it will really make it tough on the Spurs.

It should be a wail of a game tonight. Both teams will come out with extreme intensity and play the game the right way, just how the NBA finals should be.

Was Duncan crying next to Popp?
