We are Still Alive (Pistons)

I love the fact that somehow, the Detroit Pistons with an injured Rasheed Wallace and Chauncey Billups went into New Jersey and won a game that would have sent the Pistons home for the summer. I was going into the day thinking the worst. I tried to prepare myself throughout the day for the worst. The day the Pistons are eliminated from the NBA Playoffs is the worst day of the year. Well at least for now we are still alive. Thursday Night Blast Off at the Palace.

One more thing, Larry Brown was terrific in this game. He got contributions out of Memo. He benched Tay for quite a while do to a lackluster performance. But, most importantly, he controlled the New Jersey runs with his timeouts. Everytime New Jersey made even a little bit of a push he stopped it with his timeouts.
