We're taking on the Pistons in Detroit this Friday night and it's sure to be a brutally tough game for us. We are 0-3 against the Pistons this season and we need to do everything in our power to avoid facing them in the playoffs, we need to win this game in order to prevent them from sweeping us and to stay away from 6th place. Ben Wallace and company are a rebounding machine. We have been outrebounded by double figures in our past 4 games, so rebounding is going to be one of the biggest factors in the outcome of this game. We brought the Pistons into overtime once this season and they just barely escaped with the win 102-100, but the other times we met it wasn't even close and when we brought them into OT it was before they had Sheed. I am very optimistic about this game and predict a low scoring affair with us flying out of Detroit with the win, 78-74.
Oh it definately was a brutally tough game. The Heat just couldn't get it together against the crazy Detorit team, but theirs no shame in losing to someone like Detorit. Wade only took 6 shots in the game and went 3-6. He was their trying on the defensive end, and he also had 6 reabounds, 4 assists, and 1 steal. Everyone was really trying, but Billups just anahilated us, and then Odom was ins foul trouble, and fouled out after playing 32 minutes. None of our starters that scored in double digitts except for Odom shot well, and even though we won the rebound battle, the Pistons went to the line more and hit 9 more free throws than us. Chicago is next, I don't care if its on the road, this better be a win, I want Wade to ligh up Hinrich (who has really impressed me), but when its against Wade no support for you Kirk. Miami needs to watch for Curry who always has his late season blooms of hope that die out till late next season.
Odom has been playing extremely well lately. i can see him carrying the Heat by himself. Miami at 100% health is a dangerous team, as shown in their last few weeks of play. it was a good, tough, playoff-style game. it should be an first round series, if the teams meet.
