	If C. Billups misses game 4 in Orlando after 3 full days of therapy on that hammy, don't count him back in this series. The Pistons are in trouble with out him but if they dress Lindsey Hunter insead of Juan Dixon, they should escape by winning their home games.

	All I know is that Rodney Stuckey better start over Dixon or Hunter after the way he played in Game 3.

	We need Mr. Big Shot, if not Tayshaun and RIp better step up and manage the game like Chauncy does. We will still be alright, I guess all the playing time the young guys got during the season pays off now.

	Even without Billups, the Pistons don't need to escape by winning at home. they battled back to make it a tight game at the end of three without chauncey, and they were playing horrible. If anything, hopefully playing with him will make them play with a sense of urgency that they never seem to have anymore. and I agree Stuckey should get the start, but Lindsey would be great to have off the bench. Lock-down defender that will shut down Nelson.

	I agree. The Pistons were a little off their game in the first half. Probably wondering if they would get their all star point guard back in the game. They re-grouped and were able to make it a close one by the end of three. Sloppy play and crap defense lost that game for us, not because we didn't have Billups. Stones can and will still win w/o Billups in this round hands down, but he needs to be healthy for the next series.

	I'm actually wondering if he is questionable for saturday if they will rest him so he is completely helthy for a game 5 since they are up 2-1 in the series.

There is no need to rush him coming back and further hurting it. The Pistons were fine last night when they were making shots and actually playing defense. The seemed to lack that all in the 4th quarter because they were too tired from fighting back in the third. If they can come out and start game 4 with the same intensity as they did in the 3rd quarter of game 3 they should be able to build a sizeable lead and possibly win.

	i think that orlando may be able to pull out another win here in game 4, but i think the Pistons will take the series. they are a veteran team and know how to play, i mean they looked in trouble in the first round and made it through. i think they take it in 6.

	There are some real big jerks on Orlando's team page. They created a thread about how they cheered when Billups got hurt. How big of an $#%hole do you have to be to cheer when a player gets hurt. Theyre jealous that theyre team isnt going to win this series and thats how they make themselves feel better by cheering about others misfortune.
