The easiest thing to predict about a Game 3 when one
team is up 2-0 is how the game will be officiated.
Was anyone the least bit surprised that Tim Duncan
picked up three fouls in the first half at Utah
Saturday night? The league doesn't want sweeps because
that means less suspense, smaller revenues and a
longer gap in-between series.
The Pistons know they're going to get more than their
share of calls against them, given the situation and
what happened between Rip and LeBron in the closing
seconds of Game 2. It's almost a given that Rasheed
will pick up 2 quick fouls and continue to battle foul
trouble all night.
