It looks like the Pistons have been preaching the old saying ?lest we forget?, the players using Antoine Walker?s role in the Game 2 trash talking fiasco as their motivation heading into the all-important Game 3 clash.  They have to try something after surrendering home court advantage in the embarrassing Game 2 loss.

``He's from the Chicago summer leagues, and it is all about talking there,'' said Detroit star Jerry Stackhouse. ``That's just how he is.

``We feel we have a different type of character and makeup than those guys, and that really feeds the rivalry between us. That was just one game. We've got a long way to go.''

``It pisses you off when you hear the other team talking trash, but we'll see what happens when the series is over.,' added Corliss Williamson, the NBA?s Sixth Man of the Year.

``I'm looking forward to Game 3,'' Robinson said, ``and I'm not going to let a young fella like Antoine Walker distract me.''
