This is a really great series! Did anybody expect Luke Walton to play like he had Magic Johnson's hand up his ass? Rip Played really well. It's clear that Kobe's defense bothers Rip.

Detroit has to be happy at almost winning 2 on the road. If the Lakers can play like they did in overtime then they can win in 5. But the Lakers have been so flaky this season that I expect this to go to 7 games.

I think Rasheed is key to Detroit's success. The matchup between Malone and 'Sheed looks favorable to Detroit. I doubt that Malone's knee will be 100% by Thursday. Detroit has to capitolize on that. If Malone is outplayed/benched then someone will have to come over to help on 'Sheed and the Lakers will pay. Detroit should let Sheed play with the fouls if they are behind.
