not mitch albom.

but i'll do my best. dear pistons... tonight was a little too intense, too close for comfort, particularly the last 9.2 seconds of the game. i had flashbacks to last year, when the spurs took game 5 in overtime, with a three-pointer in the final nine seconds of the game. remember that? (shudder) ah! thankfully, chauncey was on top of his free throws, which put the game just out of reach. (clutch). mvp of the evening? tayshaun, who really hustled under the basket, and was the high scorer, with 24 on the board. big ben wallace had some money rebounds, of course. what was with his hair, though? wasn't wild 'n out as it usually is for the home games. but, he had his mojo, and i guess that's what matters. overall, though, the pistons don't seem to have their usual ferocity... the team scored in fits and spurts, with the only real offensive consistency coming from prince. something is off, they aren't as loose. i agree with rip, the pistons need to start enjoying themselves out there, because when they get into that rhythm with each other, that's when they are really unstoppable. i hope they get it back while on the road in miami.

i'm a nervous wreck during post-season. oy. i'm glad i didn't go running today; watching the game was enough cardio for the day.
