    <div class="quote_poster">Quote:</div><div class="quote_post">All right, Rasheed. You want to make up for it? Have a monster game tonight. Have a game where you not only start strong, you finish strong, too. Have a game where you don't float in and out like a ghost going from room to room looking for someone to scare. Because the Pistons need you to be scary tonight. And, quite frankly, you owe them one.


    You owe them for a momentary lapse in basketball common sense Sunday night that may have turned this series irrevocably in San Antonio's favor. Not lost the series. No one player loses a series. But turned? You bet. The moment you neglected to cover Robert Horry from the three-point line in the closing seconds of overtime, the moment you abandoned him to double-team Manu Ginobili -- who was no more a threat to win the game in that moment than I was -- the moment you left the only Spur who seemed to want the ball wide open for his favorite shot at his favorite time, you shifted the cosmic balance. The Spurs went from down a basket to up a point. They went from down a game to up a game. They went from depressed to absolutely delirious.


    You turned that moment, Rasheed. And deep down, you know it.


    What are you going to do about it?</div>

    I think Rasheed understands he made a mistake and will come back strong game 6 especialy with his back against the wall.
