    DREW SHARP: Carlisle's job is on the line if team dies without fight

    April 29, 2003

    BY DREW SHARP

    The Pistons have assumed the personality of their head coach.

    And that's why their season is on the verge of crashing in flames.

    They vow that there's one good fight left in them, but it will be interesting to see if the last swings are directed toward each other.

    Opportunity is rigged in their favor for Wednesday's Game 5 against Orlando. Expect a home-cooked taste to the officiating and a relaxed opponent holding a sixth game at its home court as a trump card. But should an unemotional Pistons team show up merely to say good-bye for the summer, it will trigger an off-season of serious re-evaluation.

    Rick Carlisle's future in this organization will be on the line.
