My wish for the Pistons is this:
Lose the sense of entitlement. You haven't
won anything in three seasons. I love your confidence. I even love your
arrogance, when it's put to positive use -- like when you give up 41 points
in the first quarter to Seattle and still know, without a doubt, that you are
coming back and winning that game. Love that.
--
第一段就說出我這兩季看球的心聲,我們應該一直是挑戰者,而不是自以為再
得到總冠軍後就會有什麼不一樣的待遇,要像幕之內一歩一樣。
--
But with 20 games left, I want to see you put that chip back on your
shoulder. I want to see you get that
underdog mentality going again, that
us-against-the-world thing you had in 2004. Back in 2004, if you saw
Steve
Javie and Marc Davis were working a big game, it would galvanize you. "We
ain't going to let those guys beat us." Now, you see them, like you did in
Boston, and it's like, "Darn, they are going to stick it to us again." Then
it's like a self-fulfilling prophecy when Rasheed Wallace gets into early
foul trouble and Boston gets a favorable whistle down the stretch.

關鍵字:underdog mentality、Steve Javie & Marc Davis。

Right now, Boston and Cleveland are playing better basketball than you are.
They are playing with more passion and with more fury. There is no reason for
them to be hungrier than you. Your legacy is at stake. Either you are going
down as one of the great teams of all time or you are going down as a one-hit
wonder. You have 20 games to get yourselves right.

忠言逆耳:兩大敵人都打得比你們好!

There were things that happened in
Boston,
regardless of the scheduling,
regardless of anything, that were tough to take from a team with so much
pride. A couple of examples:
The slow passive start, firing up the first available jump time and again,
allowing the Celtics to punch first and establish their pace.
Tayshaun Prince arguing a no-call while his man, Paul Pierce, beat him down
the floor for a basket.
In the third quarter, playing catch-up, Antonio McDyess stands flat-footed
while Glen Davis rips down an offensive rebound and scores the put back.
Rajon Rondo blowing past Rip Hamilton, going coast-to-coast and dunking while
three would-be defenders stand and watch.
Rondo twice stealing an offensive rebound from two Pistons.
Not making a single basket and missing six straight shots in the final five
minutes after coming a bit unglued by a debatable offensive foul call by
Javie on Chauncey Billups. Billups got a technical foul for arguing and the
next four whistles went against the Pistons.
Circle the wagons, fellas. You are going to get some bad whistles in the
playoffs. You have to make up your minds right now not to let that deflate or
defeat you.
Get that chip back, man.

X的,我沒看比賽都可以想像這種過程了,反正這兩年都看這麼多次了...

There was a lot of talk about the by-play between Wallace and Flip Saunders
in the fourth quarter. Wallace picked up his fourth and fifth fouls in the
same possession and the cameras must have caught him telling Flip that he
wasn't coming out of the game. Saunders, rightly, immediately took Wallace
out of the game and endured some harsh words from Wallace for his trouble.
What's important about that isn't that Wallace demanded to stay out there.
The important thing is that Saunders held firm. He didn't give in, and when
Wallace came back in later, he drained a big three-pointer to pull the
Pistons within a point.

老桑說過他跟溪蛙的相處方式了,不了解的就不用在這個議題上打轉了。

Speaking of Sheed, his left ankle was pretty sore after the game. The Pistons
are listing him as probable, but I wouldn't be surprised if he sat out Friday
in New York. Theo Ratliff is expected to be activated. If Sheed plays, then
probably Walter Herrmann would sit.

溪蛙的腳很腫,對紐約笑笑湯隊不一定會上場!不過那時鍋神可以登入了。

One last aside about Boston: Did Kendrick Perkins really get 20 rebounds? I
know it said so on the stat sheet, but the stat sheet also said Wallace had
no blocks and I know for a fact he had at least two. I am going to ask Ron
Oliver -- the Pistons video coordinator -- to double check, but I would be
shocked if Perkins really got 20 boards. The Pistons did miss a ton of shots,
but I've seen 20 rebound performances before and that sure didn't look like
one. Listen, right now Boston and Cleveland are playing better than you are.

雖然 McCosky 是個新聞工作者,不過身為死忠活塞迷,他骨子裡也是很像鄉民的。
