No killer instinct

Filed under: Uncategorized — Gary Knox @ 7:15 pm

Great teams put a lesser team on the chopping block.  Great teams have a killer instinct that beats their opponents when they are down.  Judging from the performance  the Pistons put on last night, they have yet to show signs of being a great team.  With a chance to go up 3 game to 0 against the Magic, the Pistons got slapped around for the majority of the 48 minutes, and folded in the final quarter, just when they had cut the deficit to only three points.  So the Pistons could, and probably still will, win the series against the Magic, leading 2 games to 1.  But a great team would be geared up for a sweep heading into Saturday night, and a chance to get some much needed rest in preparation for Boston Celtics.  Instead, the Magic can even up the series at home, with the possibility that Chauncey Billups may not even play.  This is the fate of a very good team, not  great one.
