Spurs vs. Pistons Finals Game 4 -- Game Blog

[conversekid]

Halftime in the Spurs Locker Room:

Pop to team - Guys do I need to tell you what to do?
Team: Gives Pop A look
Pop - OK Then

[dn0]

ben wallace hitting fade aways nash style is never a good sign

[Manu20]

Spurs down by 15 at the half!!! :pctoss :pctoss

Get ready for a spur comeback :drunk

[Experiment2100]

that first half was bullshit. Ben Wallace 2 jumpers 4 buzzer beaters. This has all the makings of Spurs losing by 3.

[Tek_XX]

Tim needs to get mean, they have him scared to take it inside, CMON TIM GO INSIDE, GET FOULED, DO SOMETHING. Same goes for Manu.

[Rematch+Repeat=Revenge]

Here it comes, you guys. You called it. They're bringing up the Lakers.

[gocanes719]

were in trouble. spurs are letting duncan do all the work.

no ones even fucking cutting to get the ball


That is a joke right. I wish someone would find Tim Duncan and tell him his team needs him. I think he is hanging on Ben Wallace's nut sack.

This is totally pathetic. If D. Brown can come in and make something happen what is everyone else's excuse.

I hate to say it but when Beno comes in the game we are done. It happened again tonight. The Beno and Berry combination is the death of us winning a Championship.

[exstatic]

The rest of this game: Spurs get some calls to get within maybe 6-8, then the brakes go back on. So go things in the world Of David Stern and his self-created drama.

Newsflash, Stern: people can smell this shit a mile away. That's why ratings are down.

[Tek_XX]

15 against the Suns is managable if you get hot, but against Detroit i think it's going to be a long night

[Uncle_Rico]

the death of us is...MENTALLY CHALLENGED.

[exstatic]

Recipe for game 5: early HARD fouls to engage the refs and get them to call everything. It the only chance SA has.

[Uncle_Rico]

when u have bowen and horry driving and posting, forget it, it's over.

Tim Duncan: 11 points, 10 rebounds, 2 blocks

:stfu

yeah but that will never happen.

[Tek_XX]

Devin brings energy and that's great but when we have to go to Devin it usually means a point in the loss column.

[Experiment2100]

The rest of this game: Spurs get some calls to get within maybe 6-8, then the brakes go back on. So go things in the world Of David Stern and his self-created drama.

Newsflash, Stern: people can smell this shit a mile away. That's why ratings are down.


That happened in 2nd Q, everything they called stopped being fouls the secon half of the quarter

[conversekid]

Recipe for game 5: early HARD fouls to engage the refs and get them to call everything. It the only chance SA has.


I actually think that is a VERY good idea. Not play dirty... but just get the refs to think they have to "get the game under control"... then maybe detroit will get called for all the crap they're getting away with.

[Uncle_Rico]

Tim Duncan: 11 points, 10 rebounds, 2 blocks

:stfu

his defense and boxing out is pathetic. all the bigs.

[SLOVENIAN 8]

Sorry but the Pope is an idiot and spurs are playing like pussys. I cant watch this shit and this "great" moves by Pop. :pctoss :pctoss :pctoss

[exstatic]

I hate to say it but when Beno comes in the game we are done. It happened again tonight. The Beno and Berry combination is the death of us winning a Championship.

They're letting Lindsay Hunter do things that usually mandate a cigarette afterwards to him. I doubt you could dribble the ball up court with an opponent on your back, literally.

[Tek_XX]

when u have bowen and horry driving and posting, forget it, it's over.

I couldn't agree more, it pisses me off when Bowen and Horry do things that they really don't have NBA moves to do. If were posting Horry, even by accident, do we really expect to win.

[myhc]

everybody ragging on Tim's game needs a healthy dose of shut the fuck up. that guy and maybe devin brown are the only ones who have kept us in this game, relatively speaking. the only thing about tim i would say is to keep driving in on wallace. to beat the shot blocker, you have to go chest to chest on him and not give him any room to extend.

the turnovers by everyone the team and those ridiculous buzzer beater shots by chauncey and ben wallace that they have no business making are what's killing us right now.

manu was starting to drive again at the end of the half and drawing fouls. he needs to continue doing that in the 2nd half.

[gocanes719]

Tim Duncan: 11 points, 10 rebounds, 2 blocks

:stfu


If you think Duncan is playing good your fucking crazy. He is turning the ball over, only getting rebounds that fall in his lap and his defense sucks ass. He is being scored on more than any other Spur.

[conversekid]

everybody ragging on Tim's game needs a healthy dose of shut the fuck up. that guy and maybe devin brown are the only ones who have kept us in this game, relatively speaking. the only thing about tim i would say is to keep driving in on wallace. to beat the shot blocker, you have to go chest to chest on him and not give him any room to extend.

manu was starting to drive again at the end of the half and drawing fouls. he needs to continue doing that in the 2nd half.

Tim's boxing out deserves to get him called out... the whole team might as well part the red sea for the pistons to get boards.

[SLOVENIAN 8]

manu was starting to drive again at the end of the half and drawing fouls. he needs to continue doing that in the 2nd half.

that is becouse Rasho is in the game. And now at the start of second half nazr will be in and gino wont do shit again sorry but that is the truth......

[gocanes719]

They're letting Lindsay Hunter do things that usually mandate a cigarette afterwards to him. I doubt you could dribble the ball up court with an opponent on your back, literally.


If we can't get the ball up the court on Linsey Hunter the team needs to fly home. This is the finals there are no excuses.

[Lurks-a-lot]

What I really don't understand is your guys view of the fouls, not only does Detroit have a 11 team fouls and San Antonio has only 5 but it sems to me that usually the team that is the most aggressive recieves the most benifits on calls and frankly the spurs just look flat footed and lucky to even be with 15 if it wasn't for all the free throws they have gotten it could be a lot worse.

Maybe it's just because I'm a pistons fan but I don't see the whole refs being biased for the pistons.

[ducks]

why in the hell can duncan not set picks
is he above that?

[ALVAREZ6]

From here on out: Pray.

[gocanes719]

manu was starting to drive again at the end of the half and drawing fouls. he needs to continue doing that in the 2nd half.

So Tim can score eleven points and he doesn't have to play defense. You need to shut the hell up there are 5 pistons that have outplayed Duncan.

[Uncle_Rico]

fuck this game, im not watching this bullshit, they come back, they come back.

Tim is like a lost puppy on defense. his face tells it all. the guards just look like shit. seriously, fucking drive. if not pull up. first they split the pick n roll, manu drives through the guys, so now what, dont do it anymore. come on. get your head out of your ass. post up pass the ball in, pass it back out reset if not drive or shoot the fucking thing, quit forcing it.

Oh yeah! BOX OUT, you pieces of shit. damn. wtf is wrong with them? everytime. i could stand a loss but not showing up is rediculous.

[rolbaza]

Please Hebie.....shut The F@#$! Up

[Uncle_Rico]

2 games in a row Nazr cant hold the ball. sorry i turned to check the score and boom that's what i see. Nazr had dick fingers.

[SLOVENIAN 8]

Sorry but nazr is showing now how good he is he is doing shit and pope wont do nothim He is still playing him :pctoss :pctoss

[exstatic]

I shut it off at 31-17. I'm reading a book, and chekcing nba.com from time to time.

lurks - It's not just the calls, it's the no calls, the offensive fouls, three seconds, etc. Anything to turn the ball over or change the momentum. While Detroit may have 10 fouls, they've probably commited 25.

[Dre_7]

%$^$^%&*&t$%$#((*^&

[myhc]

So Tim can score eleven points and he doesn't have to play defense. You need to shut the hell up there are 5 pistons that have outplayed Duncan.

Like i said you moron, tim is the only one scoring and rebounding.

[SLOVENIAN 8]

Detroit is Destroying us sorry Wallac is bloking nazi for fun :pctoss

[ALVAREZ6]

when are we gonan fucking learn.......


next game, i expect even more turnovers....

[myhc]

we continue to turn the ball over and its leading to their fastbreak points which speaking of those, do we have any tonight?

and nazr throwing up some weak hook shot down there against ben freaking wallace. :pctoss

[Lurks-a-lot]

I feel you exstatic, I felt the same way about how the games were officated the first two games in San Antonio, I really wish the NBA could find a way to make the refs more consistent!

[JustSpurs]

Why does Pop even bother taking time-outs? He's not making any adjustments.

[gocanes719]

Like i said you moron, tim is the only one scoring and rebounding.


Your a total jackass

[Tek_XX]

wow this is crap, pop needs to shake things up, sitting their sulking isn't helping things

[Dre_7]

Oh please!! Yes the officiating is pretty bad, BUT that is not an excuse for they way SA is playing. If they show up, it doesnt matter!!!

Come on Spurs!!!!!!!!!!!!!

[Dre_7]

Lets see the Big Dogg!

[Dre_7]

PLease call a foul!!!!!

[SLOVENIAN 8]

:pctoss :pctoss :pctoss get this Nazr out of there :pctoss :pctoss i am so mad now that ..... :pctoss :pctoss And i wont to se Glen Rbinson too.

[kolko]

Dunk it Nazr!

[Dre_7]

Take Nazr out!!!

He has no respect from the officials

[Slo spurs fan]

Pop are you stupid or what?

Throw Nazr out you moron!

[Uncle_Rico]

wath is big dog gonna do, score and not play defense, so it's a wash out.

[Bluto Blutarsky]

wow. this sucks
I'm disgusted :vomit

[Dre_7]

Well I hope SA decides to show up in game 5!!!

[dn0]

oh come on why fucking barry

[conversekid]

i agree the officiating is crap... but not as crappy as the spurs playing or the spurs coaching... pop just sits there sulking... i agree.. why call a time out when the players come out and do the same thing?

[Hook Dem]

It's so obvious that the "fix" is on. Sterns has done for basketball what steroids has done for baseball. Fuck this shit!!!!!

[LG lives on]

I'm loving it!

[ramonce11]

Give credit to Detroit's D, they are stripping the ball clean and stopping the Spurs.
Thats a damn fine Defensive team there.

[GINNNNNNNNNNNNOBILI]

devin brown was the only guy playing in the first half, why do you play barry over him??

[Slo spurs fan]

Give credit to Detroit's D, they are stripping the ball clean and stopping the Spurs.
Thats a damn fine Defensive team there.

I agree 100%!

[Tek_XX]

Nazr does not belong in this series against the pistons, he can not finish, he's an embarrasment. The fact that pop continues to play him despite he's complete retardation throught these last two games amazes me.

[conversekid]

Detroit will be known as one of the best teams ever if they continue... they beat the Fab Four Lakers one year and the Spurs the next.

[ducks]

3 t.o's on the pistons

where the fuck is the d

[Uncle_Rico]

but u know it is kind of funny. these 2 games are exactly mirror images of the 2 games in sa. just makes you think. sa getting all the steals, driving detroit looking confused. now sa looking bad, media will be jocking the pistons for a few days just like the spurs.

[Lurks-a-lot]

I agree 100%!


Thank you. I'm gald ot know that not all of you spurs think its a David Stern Conspiracy Theory. :angel

[Dre_7]

Just unbelievable!!

[sanman53]

I was wondering if Nazr can dunk with two hands?

WOW, I am not sure what to say about this game. Troit showed up and Spurs are just wanting to go back to San Antonio. I never want to give up on the Spurs though! GO SPURS GO!!!

[dn0]

I think detroit is going for a 100 points tonight, complete humilliation.

[Lurks-a-lot]

but u know it is kind of funny. these 2 games are exactly mirror images of the 2 games in sa. just makes you think. sa getting all the steals, driving detroit looking confused. now sa looking bad, media will be jocking the pistons for a few days just like the spurs.



Thats what worries me Uncle Rico, our team seems to get a bit um egotistical when we win a game and forget what it took to win the game. :oops

[Dre_7]

They are gaurding Hunter as tight as they can, and he just hitting everything. Wow, just wow!

[LG lives on]

wow what an ass whooping!

[myhc]

I'm done watching this piss poor pathetic play. I've never seen a team just shrivel up and die like this. Well, actually I saw it last year against the Lakers.

[exstatic]

They should pull Tim. Why risk his ankle in a non-game? Pull all of the starters. If they're going to call a game like this, play Rasho and TMass.

[Slo spurs fan]

Charlotte >>> Spurs right now

[Uncle_Rico]

seriously how much are the spurs gambling on the game, really....

[ramonce11]

This game is all about adjustments and so far, the Pisstons have made the best ones.
Spurs just look lost and confused out there.

[exstatic]

Hey LaKertrash - Go Home. No one wants your sorry ass, my team ain't in the playoffs so I'll bag on yours self here.

[ballhog]

Ticky-tack foul on one end and Nazr gets murdered on the other end.....no call. This is why people think this league is fixed. Who wouldn't? If it was just great play, I would understand. Calls like that give the other team confidence and drag down the other team. What a crock of sht.

[Dre_7]

Thanks Larry!! He finally took out Hunter! Whew!

[Dre_7]

Shut up. Dont make excuses for the Spurs not showing up!!

No excuses. So far, they dont deserve to win!

[Tek_XX]

i understand that Duncan get mad at himself, but he's very close to pussy territory.

[Aggie Hoopsfan]

Don't blame the refs. Detroit has rolled out the LA defense and P_p is dumbstruck.

[ramonce11]

Why would Brown take out Hunter? He was absolutley on fire! Im glad he did though!!!

[Tobias]

yeah, Spurs would lose this game even if the refs gave them every call

[Dre_7]

Dice is gonna destroy Rasho. :(

[midgetonadonkey]

Somebody fucking step up!!

[ramonce11]

We cant even make simple lay-ups tonight.

[Tobias]

I've never seen a game where one team gets it in the basket, yet it rolls out, ore times than the Spurs tonight.

[GINNNNNNNNNNNNOBILI]

Take Beno Out Please!!!!!

[midgetonadonkey]

Anyone waiting in line tomorrow for game 6 tickets???

[Tek_XX]

Beno thanks for your contribution.

[Dre_7]

One more qtr.

[Shelly]

http://www.casstours.com/images/cliff_diving.jpg

[boutons]

has a team ever failed to score 20 pts in all 4 qtrs of a Finals game?

[midgetonadonkey]

17 in the fourth....god damn

[ramonce11]

Take Beno Out Please!!!!!

Dude, why?? At least he's driving to the f'n basket!!!

[Spurs R Us]

I need a drink

[Tek_XX]

i'm going to go out on a limb and say this game is over.

[Rematch+Repeat=Revenge]

The Spurs have no presence whatsoever under the basket. You guys are getting killed on rebounds on both ends. Why isn't anybody in the paint? This is the first game I've been able to watch. This can't be the Spurs usual MO. What's the scoop?

[GINNNNNNNNNNNNOBILI]

Dude, why?? At least he's driving to the f'n basket!!!

Yup, and so is his man, except his man is scoring.

[exstatic]

Shut up. Dont make excuses for the Spurs not showing up!!

No excuses. So far, they dont deserve to win!

Oh, please. You're psychotic. You were just screaming for a foul a page ago or so.

[Tek_XX]

Dude, why?? At least he's driving to the f'n basket!!!

Wow, just wow

[conversekid]

Anyone waiting in line tomorrow for game 6 tickets???

With the way they're playing, they don't deserve to have any fans show up.

[nkdlunch]

I need a drink

I don't even feel like a drink. :(

[exstatic]

D I C K B A V E T T A

[midgetonadonkey]

Why must they always fucking :hang

[ramonce11]

Yup, and so is his man, except his man is scoring.

And so is everyone else's man, at least Beno is showing some balls and making an effort on Offense.

[Slo spurs fan]

Yeah its Benos' fault Spurs are losing tonight :rolleyes

[Dre_7]

Oh, please. You're psychotic. You were just screaming for a foul a page ago or so.

Yeah cuz I wanted a foul. I was/am very upset with the entire game. But that doesnt mean I think we are lossing cuz of the refs. We are losing cuz the Spurs have decided they werent going to play basketball.

[conversekid]

First finals in how long a team hash won 5 straight quarters? It's only happened 3 time? Pathetic

[GINNNNNNNNNNNNOBILI]

how long is rasheed allowed to camp out in the paint??

[ballhog]

Rahseed over the back. Foul on Duncan. Refs don't suck. Right.

[JustSpurs]

Looks like I picked a bad to to stop sniffing glue...

[GINNNNNNNNNNNNOBILI]

Get Tossed Pop

[midgetonadonkey]

how long is rasheed allowed to camp out in the paint??

I guess the refs are using the Shaq Exception for this game.

[ballhog]

Hang on to the stinkin' ball Timmy!!!!

[ramonce11]

Yup, get tossed Pop. You aint doing sh*t anyways.

[exstatic]

Here's the deal. They let Detroit hack maybe 5 times. That doesn't sound like much. Think about it, tough. No call. No FTs. No points, when there could have been 10. Not only that, they get to run on the turnover. They'll probably score 8-10 points. That's an 18-20 point swing on 5 no calls.

It was more than 5 times, too.

[conversekid]

Pop should go ape crap and get tossed before the end of the game... try and get some emotion to carry over to the next game...

[ballhog]

Get a rebound Tim!!!!!!!!!!

[GINNNNNNNNNNNNOBILI]

thats the kinda night its been

[midgetonadonkey]

Dunk That Shit Gino!!!!!

[ramonce11]

Pop should get tossed now so that he can start strategizing for game 5.

[conversekid]

ugh... its so bad i'm about to start doing some technical writing to take my mind off of it.. and that's bad.

[Dre_7]

It was more than 5 times, too.

Wow, Manu misses point blank. Damn refs!

[ramonce11]

Detroit is hitting everything.

[sanman53]

I think the Spurs are still back in San Antonio. Did anyone see them get on the plane after game 2? They cant even make a layup. I really want to give troit credit, but this isnt the Spurs. Is there rumors of Pop going to be a GM somewhere? This is really crazy!

[midgetonadonkey]

Why the hell couldn't the damn Spurs show up tonight???

[conversekid]

Deeeetroit Gheeettto Ballll
Spursiessss puss ball

[midgetonadonkey]

Garbage time!!!!

[ramonce11]

Why doesnt Rasho lay that muthaf*cker on his back??? The game is out of reach, at least show some f'n balls out there!!!

[Tek_XX]

Ok pop i want nothing but scrubs from here on out.

[Aggie Hoopsfan]

The refs have nothing to do with it.

Larry Brown made his adjustment, P_p is toast. One adjustment, it's all it takes.

[conversekid]

Why the hell couldn't the damn Spurs show up tonight???

Because Tim gave pop that "look" and pop knew he didn't need to say anything....

[ballhog]

Assault and battery on Udrih. No call. Gee....wish they could play better.

[dn0]

let's bring these tender boys back to san antonio, I assume we may be able to at least compete here.

[Uncle_Rico]

it wouldnt surprise me to see the spurs become the 1st team lose all 3 road games in the finals.

[Brandon361]

this is fucking gay.

[ramonce11]

Like someone said earlier, I can stand a loss, but when they show no f'n effort at all, thats what I can't stand!!!

[209Goodfella]

Pistons are OFFICIALLY in the driver seat in this series!!! :bang

[ballhog]

Beer from the sky.....that's funny. Spurs in 6.

[rolbaza]

This is no going to be a repaeat of .4...That game 5 was at home. Hey LaBron in the finals!!!

[Shelly]

A loss wouldn't bother me so much if it was a close game because you know the effort is there, but damn...

[Tek_XX]

gawd this has to be the worst i've ever seen the spurs play in a long time. Lucky for us we get to come back to SA cause i have no confidence in the Spurs winning in this building.

[ALVAREZ6]

This is gettin scary, we got raped 2 games in the row....if we lose this series, I don't know how many things I'm gonna break.

[conversekid]

The refs have nothing to do with it.

Larry Brown made his adjustment, P_p is toast. One adjustment, it's all it takes.

Aggie... that is about some true chit right there brother. Pop has NEVER been able to adjust during a game. His adjustment last season was to buy brent barry in the off season ( a little late ).... now he'll adjust in the off season by getting someone else... he wouldn't dare adjust DURING the gamem.

[Uncle_Rico]

duncan is doing his best malone impression in the finals. fuck this is pissing me off. i need to stop liking the spurs.

[midgetonadonkey]

Pop needs to bust some ass Russian style. He has a degree in Russian studies...lets get the Spurs hardcore like oldschool soviets. Let's throw some fucking people around.

[gocanes719]

i understand that Duncan get mad at himself, but he's very close to pussy territory.

Duncan is passed that. He played like a pussy all night and looks like a bonafied quitter the second half. Not jumping for rebounds, hands on his hips on D and staring at his feet.

[ballhog]

Holy Shit...Pistons whining about foul calls tonight.....alll 5 of them.

[exstatic]

Wow, Manu misses point blank. Damn refs!

It's already out of hand. It was out of hand after three fucking seconds, when they calle Manu for a foul. I should have shut it off then, but I waited. Do you still believe in the Easter Bunny and the Tooth Fairy?

[ramonce11]

Yup, Pisstons have the momentum now. Hopefully the Spurs will show up on Sunday If they do, they can end it here in SAtown. Pop needs to make some adjustments. He is absolutley getting outcoached. I think Brown might have found something.

[Amuseddaysleeper]

it wouldnt surprise me to see the spurs become the 1st team lose all 3 road games in the finals.

hi,

sincerely the 2004 LA Lakers

[midgetonadonkey]

Fuck that...we lost 2 in a row to Seattle. We will come back and win this shit. No way we lose the fucking series. Don't fucking lose faith people.

[Uncle_Rico]

spurs have to be gambling on the game.

[conversekid]

how was that a blocking foul?

[sanman53]

Maybe we should complain about the refs after this game. I mean, we are 1-135 with one ref and 257-2 with another ref. Hey, it works for the Pistons, why not us?

Na, we dont need to do that! Lets show some class! GO SPURS GO!!!

[nkdlunch]

Hey, I just had a drink and feel better. Still embarrased though

[ramonce11]

The Spurs have officially quit.

[Uncle_Rico]

well i guess it was matter of time, but the spurs karma caught up to manu...

[ramonce11]

Whatever you do guys/girls, do not blame the refs on this one. The Pisstons have the Spurs totally confused. Detroit's D is f'n STOUT!!!! Pop needs to find an answer and quick.

[midgetonadonkey]

I say we take out someone's knee....

haha just playing

I'm just really pissed.

It doesn't help that my sister lives in Detroit and is calling every 10 minutes.

Fucking bitch!

[ballhog]

Spurs will win the series. They won't win the next game, though. Gotta make some shots.

[Uncle_Rico]

spurs started getting calls, refs helped them out but then they kept passing the ball to detroit and missing shots..so i guess they didnt want to win tonight.

[conversekid]

Spurs will find a solution to this dilema in the off season...

[rolbaza]

Pull out the starters, make them sit and watch their teamates get humiliated.

[conversekid]

Spurs will find a solution to this dilema in the off season...


Seeing pop and duncan together right there.... looks like a picture from when the lakers swept us and pop was consoling tim... step up spursies

[Tek_XX]

yeah but we might be down 2-3 when we come back to san anton


Well Yeah i kinda implied that in my statement, it's called gut check time.

[conversekid]

there we goo...nice jump shot

[conversekid]

man... we could really use some home cooking... this is where the 2-3-2 format reeeeeally hurts us.

[Uncle_Rico]

well manu has finally caught the spursitis, only a matter of time. first tim, then tony, now manu.

[midgetonadonkey]

Spurs will find a solution to this dilema in the off season...


Seeing pop and duncan together right there.... looks like a picture from when the lakers swept us and pop was consoling tim... step up spursies


Fuck that kind of talk. It's fucking tied. two game to two games. We won't fucking lose this series. I know the Piston's are good, but we are fucking better. Everybody, let's not forget this shit.


I'M DRUNK!!

[ramonce11]

I thought Gino was gonna go off tonight. I guess I was way wrong. He usually goes off after a bad game and he had a bad game on Tuesday. I predict that he will have a f'n monster game on Sunday. Hopefully his injury is not serious. He just doesnt seem like the Gino we're used to.

[conversekid]

that should have been a hard fould by rasho...no easy layup when you're getting embarrased

[ramonce11]

I think I just shat myself.

[Dre_7]

Like I said earlier today, am I the only one worried about Manus injury?

We need him!!!!

[exstatic]

Pull out the starters, make them sit and watch their teamates get humiliated.

I said that about halfway thorugh the 3rd quarter. Wouldn't David Stern have squirmed in his seat?

I like the respect larry is showing his friend pop at the end of the game. Dunking like if it was to win the game.

[Dre_7]

that should have been a hard fould by rasho...no easy layup when you're getting embarrased

Yeah right, cuz we wanna make them even more mad for game 5!

No... just show some heart, some desire, like you want it...

I hate when people bring this up. If the team doesnt like getting dunked on, then f'n STOP THEM!! Do something about it and they wont do that. It's not classless, the game isn't over but the Spurs are acting like it, they deserve it.

The way they played tonight, they deserve to be dunked on by Lindsey Hunter.

[ramonce11]

exactly!

[dn0]

rasho what a fucking stiff

[Rematch+Repeat=Revenge]

I don't think anybody should dunk when there's 2 minutes left and you're up by 20. That just seems like rubbing salt in to me.

The games not over dude. You got to keep playing. If you dont like them making three's, then stop them!! Play some Defense!! Just my opinion.

[midgetonadonkey]

They should reply the Darko dunk to them all day tomorrow. That should humiliate them enough to play their asses off on Sunday.


And why the fuck is Stevie Wonder getting excited about a jump shot, it's not like he saw the shit go in.



Damn I kinda feel bad for that. Fuck that.

[Tek_XX]

OMG did the pistons win the championship....oh wait they won game 4.

LOL! LOL! LOL! LOL!

From out here in Westover Hills!!!!

Go!!!!!

rasho what a fucking stiff

at least he can catch the ball

I get it. Hell, I'm a Detroit sports fan, and all our teams have serious issues. (Some more than others) and no one has banged their head against a wall more than I have. I understand wanting them to get a wake-up call, but the Pistons could have pulled back a little bit. They had the game. No sense rubbing it in, just let time run out.

Fuck that bullshit. The Spurs need some serious shit-talking, rubbing in bullshit the Piston's can give. They need something to drop their testicles and get them playing some ball.

[RiverCitySlim]

Why do these guys suck when it counts?

[ramonce11]

The spurs shouldnt be upset that Detroit is rubbing it in at the end. They should be upset that they never showed up to this game to begin with.

[ramonce11]

Oh well. At least there was some good basketball news today. Kevin Durant coming to Austin Baby!!!!

[jochhejaam]

Ticky-tack foul on one end and Nazr gets murdered on the other end.....no call. This is why people think this league is fixed. Who wouldn't? If it was just great play, I would understand. Calls like that give the other team confidence and drag down the other team. What a crock of sht.

:cry :baby

:lol :elephant :lol

[jochhejaam]

Rahseed over the back. Foul on Duncan. Refs don't suck. Right.

:cry :baby

:lol :elephant :lol

[jochhejaam]

Here's the deal. They let Detroit hack maybe 5 times. That doesn't sound like much. Think about it, tough. No call. No FTs. No points, when there could have been 10. Not only that, they get to run on the turnover. They'll probably score 8-10 points. That's an 18-20 point swing on 5 no calls.

It was more than 5 times, too.

:cry :baby

:lol :elephant :lol

[violentkitten]

piston fans sure know how to frontrun. where were the bitches when they were down 0-2?

[jochhejaam]

Stevie's got an earphone in, he's listenin' to the game...

classy post :idiot

[bigjohnstudd]

The Spurs are choking again!!! Although the champs just b**ched slapped the Spurs 2 games in a row! We will not go down with out a fight you San Antonio millies!! Your team is like fresh baked bread...SOFT!!! Detroit Got the Street Cred here!!

[pooh]

Since I didn't catch any of tonight's game, this is the 2am verison of the blog. I'm watching the replay...I hope it's worth watching.

[nkdlunch]

If you like seeing 6 dudes beating the hell out of a nerd.

[pooh]

crap that sucks, "due to time constraint, we move on in the action" NO! I want to see the whole game damnit. oh well...Spurs are only down by six at the moment.

[MiNuS]

No way. I wouldn't watch it!

[pooh]

Well I didn't see any of it, so I'm checking it out right now. Seven turnovers right now by the Spurs in the first quarter. Whoa...a dagger by 'Sheed to end the quarter, holy shit. But it's still not bad...23-17 at the end of the first. I always keep thinking Manu is going to put up one of those 60ft shots to end a quarter like he usually does. Oh well. Turnovers seem to be lurking their head again on the Spurs...very sloppy play right now.

[pooh]

Wow...wheels on the bus are falling off. Damn. Do the Spurs know how to hang onto the ball? Down now by 10 points. Did Detroit get inside the Spurs' heads or what?

[pooh]

If the Spurs didn't turn the ball over like a department store hands out gifts, it might be a closer game right now. Detroit looks like their hitting on all cylinders (no pun intended) at the moment. Least Duncan his hitting FT's.

[pooh]

Pop looks pissed on the sidelines. No shit...haha, your team is getting spanked right now. with 5 min left in the first half. Spurs just getting one shot and turning it over to the Pistons. No hustle whatsoever. Nice shot by Devin. He looks like the only one at the moment who decided to make the bus ride to the Palace.

[pooh]

Spurs just settling on one shot and that's it. No rebounding. Detroit is just calmly moving down court and hitting their shots. Detroit is taking the Spurs right out of the game it seems. Damn, it took Parker almost the whole first half to hit his first bucket of the contest. WOW! Billiups with a buzzer beater...ooh, the really knocked down Manu hard. I guess they're looking to inflict some punishment on him tonight.

[pooh]

BULL! Manu should've gotten called for the offensive charge on that. Least his missed one of the two FT's. 51-36 at the half. Unbelievable.

[pooh]

Spurs got off to a good start in the third, (Manu and Bruce hitting baskets early) then boom...the Spurs couldn't buy a basket and started once again "giving the ball" back to the Pistons. 59-42 Detroit. Looks like the Silverstars made the trip to Detroit instead of the Spurs so far.

Is there any reason why you are recapping a game that has already been recapped in this thread for 19 pages?

[pooh]

Yeah I didn't see it earlier when it was on live.
