 Rasheed Messes With Sixers' Huddle, Then Misses Game-Tying Shot
It's pretty hard to pile on Rasheed Wallace after the numbers he put up in his team's Game 1 loss to the Sixers. His stat line of 24 points, nine rebounds and seven blocks was pretty much the only one in the Pistons' box score that looked like it came from someone who knew that this was a playoff game.

Before You Jump Off a Cliff, Pistons Fans, Remember This Has Happened Before

Before I tell you why Sunday night’s embarassing loss to the Philadelphia 76ers is no big deal, let’s get the formalities out of the way: that was sickening. Inexcusable. A terrible way to open a postseason this Pistons team has been pointing to all season long, and a bad omen for the ensuing rounds. But this happened before, losing homecourt advantage.
