We're going to make some adjustments and we're going to win this game. I'm not being arrogant or cocky or anything like that. I think [Saturday] we let it slip out of our hands. Game 2 we let it slip out of our hands. We're going to win this game in Detroit.

Some key numbers to watch before going to fight the crowd:

9 -- that's how many consecutive playoff wins the Pistons have taken against the Magic. There hasn't been an exercise in futility this one-sided since the Patriots tried to tackle Bo Jackson in Tecmo Bowl.

Sex and the City as played by the Detroit Pistons: A group of self-centered, vindictive socialites (veteran players) that has been part of the public consciousness for a long time reunites on a larger stage (the Playoffs). What the group passes off as "frank discussion" actually translates more as whining about being treated unfairly and disrespected by others, a "no-one-believes-in-us" attitude that has become tiresome. The group’s members work best as a cohesive unit, and while Carrie (Billups) shoulders most of the spotlight, the unit’s strength lies in their collectiveness and communal talents, as they are a band without a true elite star player to speak of. And yes, comparing the Pistons to a group of self-absorbed, materialistic females is done tongue-in-cheek.

1994 Orlando Magic GEERT HAMMINK #43 Game Worn Jersey

For the low, low price of $174.99, you can own a game-worn Geert Hammink jersey.
Worn by GEERT HAMMINK #43, an All-American out of the LOUISIANA STATE UNIVERSITY TIGERS. Played three season with the Magic and appeared in five games. Very rare jersey...

Five games in three seasons? Very rare, indeed.
