chauncey will be back in game 5 and pistons will roll on by crushing the magic at home, pistons go on to their 6th consecutive confrence finals
DEEETROIT BASKETBAL!!

Up 3-1 and going to play the next game at home. They should probably give him one more day of rest if he needs more time to heal.

I agree Turtles, give him the rest, or at least limit his minutes. They'll need him if the series goes longer or for the next round.

Go Magic.

Agree, Turtles. Sit him again. Why play him with a 3-1 lead, esp. when Detroit just won without him?

Turn out the lights...

Time to find out what Chauncey is made of.
All along, he has been respected as a durable, tough player.
Now it's time for him to prove it by not needing to sit out more than one game.
Mr.Billups - take your one game off and relax, rest, and recover. Then get your rump back on the floor. Oops - I didn't mean that literally - hehe. I meant, get yourself back into the game.
Other players, like Tim Duncan and Kobe Bryant, are playing through injuries and fevers. Since you are a champion-caliber player, you should do the same.

wow, jl...so for the sake of making people like you think he's a tough guy, he should suck it up and get back into the game? Oh, and like Kobe with his major back pains, who ended up scoring 5 points in their ot loss? I mean im sure he COULD do that or with a very comfortable 3-1 series lead take more time to fully recover, and be more effective..timmy and kobes, don't have the luxury of being up 3 games to 1 in thier series, if they were, im sure they wouldn't rush coming back

Hmm... Ronious - I guess you are correct!
Yes, that's a very good point. Since the Pistons are up 3-1, they can keep him out for 2 games and allow him more time to recover.
They may even end up winning the series without needing him, in which case he can rest for the first game of the NEXT series as well.
If this series goes to game 7, then he can return for that game.
Good point.

Looks as if the Lakers are having a little trouble with the Jazz.
Arejaydub - is it still "Lovely in Lakerland" ??

Rest, rest, rest!!! That's all he needs to do. The Magic are done! Especially after Jameer Nelson guaranteed victory for game 5. Dumb boy!!! Why give a team that is your superior, at home, up 3-1, that kind of firepower? Perhaps he'll learn in time to shut his trap. I'll make a guarantee... Pistons in 5. Take it to the bank.

After watching ball since i was 8 there is 1 thing i have noticed about the spurs & the pistons.
There stars representive FNF which stands for Flop n Foul thats all they do & its getting a bit rediculous that these guys get so much sissy calls over crap Billups is not Mr Big Shot he is Mr. Big Flop! Now all the big four pistons flop especially that big teeth idot Flopilton or Hamilflopton.

First of all Mr. dEE of dees, every team in the NBA has floppers, including your team, whoever they are. I would think the Pistons flop less than most of the teams. Dirk is King of the Flop as is Iverson. Most of the people that are considered floppers are stars. The pistons are on the receiving end of bad calls most of the time because they're players aren't considered superstars. Perhaps you're not a fan of the Pistons and Spurs because one or both are always in the Conference Finals or the Finals. Either way, they're the two most consistent teams in the NBA.
