I WANT them to win, but the pistons will have to play better ball. It might help that we are at the palace for 3, and have our home crowd to feed off of. Go Pistons.
This is a must win game for the Pistons, and I still think they have a chance to win the Finals. The Pistons just need to take it one game at a time and take advantage of their homecourt. Despite the final scores in the first two games, the Pistons have had their opportunities to win both games. In Game 1 the Pistons blew a 12-point lead and had a defensive breakdown in the 4th quarter. In Game 2 the Pistons missed ten or twelve open shots in the paint and had to deal with the Spurs shooting 34 free throws compared to only 16 for themselves. The Spurs were plus 18 points alone from the charity stripe in Game 2. In Game 2 the Pistons had 20 more shot attempts thanks to their work on the offensive glass, but they did a terrible job of converting those second chance opportunities. The Pistons definitely have a chance with the next 3 games in Detroit. However, if they lose tonight, it's over for the defending champs.
