Pistons vs Heat, Game 4

At the half its the Pistons up 14. 60 - 46. This really is a must win for the Pistons to give them some more confidence and keep the series alive.

Stats:

Pistons

Rip: 19 points, 4 rebounds, 7 assists - Rip has been playing well all series and good to see him trying to lead his team
Rasheed: 14 points, 3 rebounds - Rasheed seems to be working pretty hard.

Heat:

D-Wade: 10 points, 2 rebounds & 3 assists - Wade is just being Wade, maybe a little quiet.
Eddie Jones: 9 points, 4 rebounds & 1 assist - He seems to be doing ok, but nothing special.

Shaq scored the first 4 points of the game and looked like he was back to his dominating self but he seems to have gone to sleep and finished with 7 points & 1 rebound at the half.

I'm tipping the Pistons to take this game by 13.

Shaq got in early foul trouble which seems to have limited his impact. Ben Wallace is still shooting poorly.

Big Ben has been quiet this series. He's still getting the boards and is being a presence but he's just not doing anything on offence.

Watch it on ESPN, I don;t think the aussie version has it but if you have a Series Satelite you can get the US broadcast of it.

Shaq was in foul trouble early. I would hardly say he is the most dominating player atm. He seems to be well contained atm.

good match up, but the pistons defence and team chemistry is to much for the all-star players(shak and wade)

i say pistons will pull away with it now.

Pistons i think will win this game but this series will be close probably a game 7 which pistons will win. I say this because despite the fact wade and shaq had bad halfs, the heat cut the lead to 5 points without them, so says if wade and shaq have good games they are in pretty good position to win. But thats where piston Defense comes in to play. if billups and Prince, and lindsey hunter do their job against wade and sheed (R. wallace), billups and hamilton take the scoring load, and get shaq in foul trouble they should win easily.. but easier said than done because wade and shaq are great players.

By the way GO IVERSON!
