Game Time: Pistons 84, Spurs 80

For about the first 46 minutes of the contest, Rasheed Wallace hustled on
defense and lazed around on offense. But when the game was on the line, it
was Rasheed who was there for the Pistons.

Here are the details:

Early offense

# For most of the game, Wallace's primary job was to stand above the 3-line
in the middle of the court, reverse the ball, then drift over to the weakside
and passively watch the goings on.

# Sometimes he made nifty entry passes — mostly to a posted Rip Hamilton.

# Sometimes he set halfway decent screens.

# He ventured into the low-post a total of five times, but didn't exert much
energy in trying to gain and hold position. Early in the first quarter, he
turned baseline from the left box and banked a power layup —the only time he
took the ball to the hoop with authority. His other post-up shots were all
turn-around jumpers that moved him away from the basket.

# What Rasheed really wanted to do was to launch 3-balls, but he was 0-3 from
out there — all of them bad misses.

# His only turnover came just before the halftime buzzer when he short-armed
an outlet pass that was intercepted.

# He never tried to fight through any of Tim Duncan's box-outs— and he was
equally as passive whenever Kurt Thomas sealed him from the offensive boards.


Early defense

# Rasheed showed aggressively and long-armed on all high screen/rolls.

# In defending Tim Duncan, Rasheed always delivered a judicious bump that
moved TD a half-step farther from the basket before he could receive an entry
pass. As soon as Duncan clutched the ball in the low post, Rasheed became
reactive, holding his ground and waiting for TD to reveal his shot before
attacking the ball.

# In direct confrontations, Duncan was only 2-for-11 versus Wallace — and
one bucket was a gimme layup with Detroit up by four and only five seconds
left in the game.

# Wallace also succeeded in getting a piece of two of Duncan's interior shots
and was always in position to challenge the others.

# If Wallace was too slow to prevent Tony Parker from scoring a couple of
layups in his face, Rasheed made only a single poor defense rotation
throughout his 38 minutes of daylight.

# Indeed, the only bad play Rasheed made on the defensive end was to be
lifted by a TD head-fake that allowed Duncan to score an uncontested layup
early in the first quarter.

Late offense

# The two teams traded spurts for most of the second half, and as the game
raced to the wire San Antonio's zone (a result of the suspension of Bruce
Bowen and the unavailability of Ume Udoka) totally stymied Detroit's offense.
Then, after watching for much of the game, it was Wallace who knocked down a
pair of critical buckets that turned the game in the Pistons' favor.

# The first of these was a foul-line jumper in the exposed middle of the
Spurs' zone that moved Detroit from a one-point deficit to a one-point lead.

# The second was a step-back 18-footer from the right wing that gave the
Pistons another single-digit lead, one that they never relinquished.

# Until his last minute heroics, Rasheed was 3-for-11, with 8 rebounds, and 6
points.

Late defense

# Rasheed saved his best for last, nullifying Duncan's attempt to put the
Spurs over the top.

# Detroit was up by one with less than 30 seconds on the game clock when the
Spurs stuffed the ball inside to Duncan on the left box. As before, Wallace
maintained his defensive position and waited for Duncan to make his move.

# Duncan dribbled left into the middle, then attempted a quickly spinning
flipper with his right hand — only to see Wallace come up with his third
blocked shot of the game.

# Duncan grabbed the loose ball and went up for another right-handed flip,
but Wallace was right there to crowd the shot and force a bad miss.

# The Pistons grabbed the rebound, Tayshaun Prince subsequently dropped a
3-ball and the game was effectively done and won.

The relevant point here is that while Hamilton, Billups and Prince do their
"things," it's Wallace who's the Pistons' most important player. When Rasheed
brings his A-game on defense, then the Pistons can hang with anybody. When
Rasheed also brings his A-game on offense — if only for the last two minutes
of a squeaker — then the Pistons can beat anybody.

Detroit fans can only hope that Wallace will get his mojo working throughout
the entire playoffs. If he does, then the Pistons have a legitimate shot at
the championship.
