As we tape game 4 is just hours from tipoff with the Pistons holding a 2-1 series lead. The talk going into game 4 is the condition of Piston guard Chauncey Billups who left game 2 with a strained hamstring. He didn't sound too confident about playing in game 3 and it wouldn't surprise me if he were kept out of game 4 with his injury. Hamstring injuries need time to heal and can worsen if Chauncey tried coming back too soon. The Pistons need Billups on the court to help contain Rashard Lewis. It would make for an interesting game 5 if the Magic can take game 4 and we would be looking at a best of 3 series.

I will have my play from Game 5 in this series with full analysis on my blog on our website at www.GamblersTelevision.com/tonyt Tuesday morning.
