Minnesota 111 Detroit 101 Final

[biggunsbob]

Game #1

 

[biggunsbob]

Had a double Digit lead most of the first half. 4 left till halftime lead is 51-46. So far 3 shots the new Piston point guard Hayes can’t hit has zero points.

 

[biggunsbob]

Blake’s legs look shot to me.

 

[biggunsbob]

Pistons lead 57-56 at half.. Had a 14 point lead at one point.

Team was just awful from three point range in the first half. Brick after brick from three.
5-18 from three.

Nice little spurt by Detroit up 71-61 early 3rd. Hayes first points . One a nice drive, and the other his first 3 off a nice pass from the corner. Detroit 2/3 from three so far from three this half.

 

[biggunsbob]

Like to see Hayes drive. And drive to the basket a lot.

 

[biggunsbob]

Lead back down to four. Lazy turnovers by Wright. Not sure what he was doing.

 

[biggunsbob]

Pistons up 85-80 end of the third. Some sloppy turnovers by Detroit last few minutes. Lead should be larger.

 

[biggunsbob]

Svi is killing this team from three 1-8 early 4th.

 

[biggunsbob]

Game is tied lol. Timberwolves went zone and the Pistons had no clue what to do. 95-89 lead is all gone. 95-95. I think these teams will be battling for a top 5 pick.

 

[biggunsbob]

Rose misses 2 free throws. We finally get to the line and we can’t make a free throw.

 

[biggunsbob]

Minnesota first lead 98-97

 

[biggunsbob]

Ridiculous foul call give towns and Minnesota the lead. I hate the nba why do I watch.

 

[biggunsbob]

That’s it. Pistons blow the lead and probably the game down 5. 1:27 left. I will not be Torturing myself like this for every Piston game. Pistons should won this game by 10 plus.

 

[biggunsbob]

Just play zone against the Pistons. That was the Turing point up 95-89.pistons had no clue what to do. Least they kept that dream alive for a top pick.

Pistons were up 95-89 at the 6:13 of the 4th.


Team was awful from three 8-35 22.6%...

Funny Minnesota played terrible in my opinion tonight but still stayed close to take over in the late Fourth after they switched to zone.

The Pistons are kind of like the Tigers. Miggy = Blake. Taking up way too much salary and rapidly declining.

I want both teams to lose every game for one more year...especially the Pistons where in the NBA a top 3 pick can REALLY pay off.
