The veteran point guard said “Hurt or not, I still have to play better and fight through it. At this juncture of the season, you can’t sit out. I’m one of the main leaders of the team. We’ve got a young guy, Stuckey, who is playing great and we’ve got to find ways to keep him playing well. But I know I have to play good for us to win.” Billups?has only scored in double figures once this series, in game two which the Pistons won.?

Billups has to play in this game to keep the Pistons alive.Stuckey is awesome but he can’t do it all on his own.Detroit is down right now but I think they will tie the series up tonight.
