You can get overwhelmed with analysis of the NBA Finals. I'll keep my preview of tonight's tilt simple. Here is the one thing I am looking for: Tayshaun Prince's ability to score, especially in while posting up Manu Ginobili.
Prince, who one could argue was Detroit's MVP of the regular season, has had a sub-par playoff. Contrary to his previous two post-seasons, Prince has not sparked the Pistons at either end of the floor.
It looks to me like Prince can abuse Ginobili on the block, but he has to be able to hit those baby hook shots and finger-rolls that he has missed thus far. Prince also looks like he can beat several of the Spurs off the dribble, but has been unable to finish those, either. That absolutely has to change.
Prince must become a true threat to score, especially over Ginobili. Once Prince has established that, he can fall back some and hit the occasional three. Getting Ginobili to work harder defensively would also be a welcome sight.
Prince has seemed timid offensively since the playoffs began. That must change. The Pistons need him to become a force. They need him tonight.
