NBA Comix: Motivational Thinking with Shaquille O’Neal
To any Heat fans who might be "motivated" to complain about this post, I can only say: it could have been a whole lot worse.
I seriously did not even look at these blogs before making this, but I give you One game can change a series by Detroit Bad Boys and Pistons 91 Heat 78 from Need4Sheed for the Zapruder look and Pistons Aren't Ready To Go Home Yet from Deadspin (who says Game 6 could be an epic we wanted. Man, these NBA playoffs have ruled this year. We smile big, pleased. Got your amen right here for that).
Is it time for the Pistons or their fans to gloat? No.
To feel vindicated? No.
To be happy that their team appears to have woken up in time for the Eastern Conference Finals? Hell yeah!
Ladies and gentlemen, we have a series!

It’s amazing the range of emotions sports talk shows will put you through in the 24 hours before and after a game. Before tip off they were talking about Ben not coming back, and him losing his heart. Never question Ben’s heart.
I don’t feel vindicated, or even any safer, but I’m just glad the team I’ve been rooting for over the past 5 years finally showed up.

[...] I'm always amazed at how fast those YouTubers can get those clips, but here it is: Ben's block on Shaq last night. Farlane thinks that after the block, Ben is officially in Shaq's head.[...]

Let’s hope he is in his head, and for everyone who is calling foul becaue Ben’s had was on Shaq, I am not going to list the thousands of times Shaq has pushed off with is left hand and got away with it.
The Stuff was good. GO PISTONS

If anything that fuel to feed the fire that is Shaq. He is one pissed off bigman you can guarantee that. Do you really think Shaq gets rattled? He is cool as the other side of the pillow.
Game 6 is War.
