Road wins are a must for any champion..right?...you arent guaranteed anything at home,so winning on the other teams floor is a must....right?...the phrase "the series doesnt start until the home team loses"...is being thrown around alot lately...so can we just put that to rest or just admit the playoffs dont start until the conference finals or even the finals?...
If New Orleans or Boston win out their series..they would have exactly 1 road between them...and somehow New Orleans has that win vs Dallas...the NBA is in a bad spot if it goes down like that...how can you compare any of the teams left in the playoffs to any other past championship winner?...it almost warrants its own * beside the team name.
Orlando got bounced last night...with no Billups playing mind you....the game wasnt as close as you would think by just looking at the score...Orlando had a stretch late where they hit almost every 3 they took.It was impressive...but once the game got close..like down 3,Hedo had an isolation with Prince..and well..even if you didnt see the game you knew how that one ended...Hedo drove..and tried to dunk ON Prince...well..Prince doesnt get dunked on...and decided to do his best mailman impression with a letter that has no stamp...return to sender...thanks for coming out..drive home safely...it was amazing and sad at the same time..I would never think to try to dunk on him...
I recently had a discussion about who was the most important player on the Pistons....one guy said Billups...well..no because when you actually win on the road vs Orlando without Billups down 15 late in the game..you kinda get discredited..I said Rasheed..when he shows up they hardly lose..but when he doesnt he still defends and rebounds well...Prince was the other option..hm..I think his defense is the best of the 5..but his offense comes and goes...
