Yet Stackhouse, who also manages to get under Miami's skin with some of his comments to the media, has been played well. All season, I've been the focus. I don't think anything has changed. Every team's game plan has been to stop Grant and myself. I look at it as an opportunity.
Mills is the only other Detroit player averaging in double figures through the first two games.
But I've always found in my experience that somebody rises to the occasion above and beyond anything you would imagine. Miami has had to play rookie Anthony Carter at guard in place of Tim Hardaway, who missed the first two games with a sprained foot. Playing at home might be the best thing the Pistons have going for them. If they can find a way to win Saturday, the fourth game would be at The Palace on Wednesday night. The Heat had a losing record on the road this season for the first time in the Mourning-Hardaway era.
