On to Round 4
So the Pistons eliminated the Indiana Pacers last night. They trailed nearly the entire game until about halfway through the 4th quarter when Chauncey Billups, Rip Hamilton and Ben Wallace stepped it up and they finally got the lead. It was a good game and even though the Pacers had the lead for most of the game, I was still very confident that the Pistons would emerge the winners.
And it was cool at the end when Reggie Miller was cheered for having served 18 years with the Pacers. The only other person I know of (though I'm sure there's more) who have spent their entire career with one team is the great Stevie Yzerman with the Detroit Red Wings. Even Larry Brown called a time out with 16 seconds left in the game so that the standing ovation Miller received could be prolonged and joined in by the Pistons. What a class act Larry Brown is. And he was quick to point out (and take a jab at reporters) in the post-game interviews that these two teams that had such history since the November brawl could just come together and play a good game of basketball.
So it's on to the fourth round against the Shaquille O'Neal and the Miami Heat. I think we'll be able to get suite tickets for the first home game on Friday. Woo hoo!
