Great defense by Boston there on the inbounds. That is huge that Detroit had to burn their last timeout. Now if they could just take some of that good execution with them to the offensive end. Even though Ray hit that shot, it was still a poor play. I guess I shouldn't be surprised with Doc wielding that whiteboard.

Once again, Garnett is trying to set picks when he should be in the paint and look what happens, a forced shot at the buzzer. Seriously Boston.

is that a dumb play by rondo or the ultimate sign of sportsmanship?

The way Boston's been shooting free throws, Detroit has a great chance to be only down 2.

Stuckey came out of nowhere for me this series. I really hadn't heard much about him all season. He is a real player though, Pistons won't miss a beat when Billups is gone if they hang on to this kid.

Yeah no doubt. They have looked as nervous as I feel shooting them.

I don't know, but even as Boston fan, I hope it's not bad. Would suck if Celts win and Rip misses game 6 because of it since it puts Detroit at a serious disadvantage and sorta kills the excitement of this though series.

Broadcasters jinx on Ray Ray?
Nope.

Boston better foul when Detroit gets the ball to half court.

Pistons are really hurt with no timeouts.
