回复：Comment about 1st game

Parker is more matured than last year. In first Q, Pistons played so well, both Ginobili and Duncan weren't fit in Pistons' defense. Ginobili had several turnovers and Duncan was blocked several times. Parker kept the team hanging there so that the scores stayed at 20:17. After that, Parker did make sveral mistakes. Even though, He made some incredible shots in the second half.

Ducan is very smart, too. After blocked several times, he moved away a little from the board. He made several hugh mid-range shots and grabbed enough rebounds. He was so solid and did whatever needed to help the team.

Ginobili finally took over in the second half. He was very brave and smart. Pistons looked a little tired in the second half.

Mohammed shouldn't be ignored. He made 4 out of 8 shots. Most of them were the second chance ones, which really hurted Pistons.

BILLUPS was very good. He was one of MVPs. Please note that he played 43 minutes longest among all players.

I don't like a physical game. I guess the refs will make many foul calls in the second one. Don't be suprised that either team will do 20 or 30 FTA. I hope Duncan will practice FTAs. He isn't stable for FTAs. But last night, he made 4 out of 5.

In general, Pistons can play a defense game. Spurs can play both defense and offense games. Pistons have to play very tough in the second half.
