4 - The Prince George Citizen, TV TIMES - April 20th, 1991 SF’OR'TS CALENDAR By CHRISTOPHER HULL Piston’s playoff hopes rest on Thomas’ wrist The 1991 NBA playoffs begin tired, hurting Pistons may find a Thursday, April 25, and while there is no such thing as a sure thing, we feel safe in saying that there are only the slimmest of chances that the Detroit Pistons will be able to claim a third straight NBA championship. With strong competition from Chicago and Boston in the East and from Portland and the Los Angeles Lakers in the West, the three-peat beyond their grasp. The Pistons started off the season in relatively good shape, relying on their usual solid defense and methodical half-court offense to stay among the league's elite. But after the loss of All-Star guard Isiah Thomas, who went down with a broken right wrist in January, the Pistons struggled to play .500 ball. HILAKO Nept une PRODUCTS OODS LTD.
