Must Win Game 4!

The Pistons are in a must win situation tonight in Game 4 of their Eastern Conference Finals match up with the Boston Celtics. They simply can't afford to go down 3-1 and expect to win the series. By winning tonight, you at least guarantee a Game 6 back at the Palace. I was blown away by the lackluster effort on Saturday. I fully expected a great game out of the Pistons, but was totally wrong. The bright spot in the series so far has been the stellar play of Rodney Stuckey. He has shown he is ready for anything and has really stepped up to the plate. However, for everything good he has done, I still believe that we must have Chauncey Billups to defeat the Celtics. I'm coming to the sad realization that Chauncey probably won't be 100% the rest of this season. That makes winning a championship extremely difficult.

Well, here's hoping things turn out better this evening. We've had a couple days to make some adjustments and hopefully we'll play with a sense of urgency and work to regain the momentum in this series. The game starts at 8:30 pm on ESPN. Let's go Pistons, win this Game 4!
