Detroit wins yesterday's game against the Lakers and the series is theirs to lose. No team has ever come back from an 0-2 deficit. They are winning by six with 40 seconds to go. Down by three, Kobe drains it with 2.1 seconds left.
Here is the question.
Before Kobe gets the rock, SHAQ HAS IT. Why not foul?
I have come to respect Larry Brown as a coach. I think he's much better than Jackson as far as Xs and Os go. But it APPEARS as if Brown is as interested in winning "the right way" as he is in winning. So even though it is legally within the rules for the Pistons to foul Shaq with 2.1 seconds left to go, it wouldn't be "the right way."
I think this relates to some of the wider themes we're trying to talk about here. Or maybe it doesn't.
What would you do?
LKS I must say as a life lone Detroiter,I didn't give the Piston a chance,much of this because they move out of Detroit proper 1st to Pontiac then to Auburn Hills a richey soburbs,but thats another story.I believe they blew it 3 down foul, they shoot two, you get ball back;if you execute one inbound pass,who remenber the bad boys Isaiah pass to Bird.
