Chamberlain averaged 50 ppg. So what does it tell you that he "only" scored 34.
He didn't average that for his career though. 30.2 pts/game was his career average, 28.7 against Russell's Celtics. Sure Russell was a great center, but he definitely didn't "own" Wilt. The Celtics owned the team game, the individual matchup was pretty even.
What was with Rasheed's hands last night though? He lost the ball at least once every time he touched it except that first lob. Didn't even look like he (or the ball) was getting hit.
The Lakers do look pretty dead in the water, but they are a schitzo team. They could still win the series. Having lived in Utah for a good portion of my life, all I can say is that Malone on the Lakers is the penultimate team to root against. (maybe if Malone were on the Yankees there'd be some competition...)

I went to Game Seven against the Magic last year, when the Pistons had been down 3-1 and then they administered three straight ass-whoopings to win the series. I thought the Palace was out of control that night. But I could tell that was nothing just from watching the game on TV last night.
The Lakers are in deep, deep trouble. The Pistons are 6-0 in their last six chances to wrap up a series. If Detroit gets win #3, bank on it: they will get #4.

edit: And Olajuwon was the best all-around big man. Any seven-foot big man that can go from playing Soccer to the NBA has got serious motor skills.
He was a goalie though, so probably a lot more hand-eye than foot-eye coordination. But i agree, the Houston-Orlando finals where Shaq got taken to school by Hakeem was funny as hell.
Nobody has mentioned Larry Brown, one of the greatest coaches of all time. I hope he finally gets himself a ring.

You understand exactly why I don't want him to win, then.
I'm in the exact same situation.
ACK!
Don't try to confuse the issue with half-truths and gorilla dust!
Bryant seems intent on handing it to them. Yah, the Pistons are playing great D on him, but there's no excuse for shooting 8 for 25 on a night Shaq shoots 16 for 21.
Part of the problem was Sheed helping out with a soft double before Shaq got the ball, but all the Lakers have to do to beat that is run a cut to the hoop with his man, or reverse the ball and have Shaq cross the lane. That will at least make the Pistons rethink their defense a bit.
I hate the Lakers, but hate having to watch such idiocy on the court more. Even if it's what's keeping them out of the series.
Pah...I doubt it. The NBA Star Chamber will weigh in, the refs will start blowing the whistle, and the Lakers will crawl back in and be the first team to come back from a 3-1 deficit. It's all fixed. You can't have a big-market team, with big-market names, go down in five games. You heard it here first.

True. The NBA Star Chamber may also feel that Kobe's legal troubles shed too much negative publicity on the league, and might allow the Pistons to take it this year, adding a strategic feel-good, underdog element that will reflect positively for the league.
Not without seven games, of course. Gotta keep the revenue flowing, after all.
