I would HARDLY call this thread POINTLESS!! I would like to thank the city of San Antonio for giving the Pistons even EXTRA incentive to go out and play hard and for some locker room bulletin material!

Why? What did the City of San Antonio do exactly?

[fromswitzerland]

Why? What did the City of San Antonio do exactly?

The city gave the Pistons bulletin board material. They scheduled the championship parade for Thursday (the day of Game 7) assuming the SPUDS were going to win Game 6.

It is similar to the ring sizing that was going on in the SPURS locker room after they won game 5 (all except Popovich).

[NZHayden]

they did a ring sizing?

[fromswitzerland]

they did a ring sizing?


Not literally, consider it a metaphor.

The tone of many of SPURS players after the 1 pt. Horry victory after game 5 was such that the series was basically over and the SPURS just had to go home and closing it out for the SPURS was inevitable. POPOVICH wouldn't even go there when a reporter asked him a question that assumed the inevitability of SPURS being three time champs. He totally ignored the question.

[Wreck281Shop]

The Spurs lack pressure players. Nobody is proving that more true than Dunkin and Parks. Game seven will have Dunkin shooting airballs from the free throw line. Parker will be passing the ball to the coach. Im giving Ginobli a pass because he has never played is a pressure game like this!

[Pistons_In_7]

i doubt thats true, im sure the Spurs knew the series was far from over, whoever gave you all this inside info, why don't you just shoot him. he's wrong and so are u.

I just don't get the attitudes from this city. Wins expected. Even on the TV, just a total disrespect from the fans towards any team. Unbelievable..

[Pistons_In_7]

Umm yes he has, for the Gold Medal in the olympics and also in the game 5 (best of 5) for the Arentina basketball championship. He is no stranger to adversity and pressure games.

Yes, Popovich was quite clearly understanding the series wasn't over. After game 5 the tone, however, of many of the SPURS was that the series was bascially over. Hence, the ring sizing metaphor.

This isn't the Olympics, and if it was even close to the Olympics their Center could shoot free throws!

[samikeyp]

Sorry....im not buying the parade thing. There was no announcement in any local media about a parade (at least not that I saw). How does Larry Brown know this and the rest of the city doesn't? Although it was a smart move and I would have done the same in his shoes.

Hulkarock with more ignorant blanket statements....go figure.

Prove this. You were not in the locker room with the team therefore you could not know. You may have interpreted that but because you may think it...it does not make it so.


I see wreck is back after a win....never see him after a loss.

[Rematch+Repeat=Revenge]

The city gave the Pistons bulletin board material. They scheduled the championship parade for Thursday (the day of Game 7) assuming the SPUDS were going to win Game 6.


Of course they scheduled the parade. There is a LOT of planning that goes into these things. The Spurs had just as much of a chance of winning as the Pistons. I don't think it was out of line to plan the parade.
I'm sure Detroit is doing planning right now as well, just in case. Get over it.
We know there's going to be a parade somewhere.

So after the series is over and we are holding a street party in Detroit you'll have that to hang your hat on. 'Wreck only showed up after a win!'

This was why I asked - I didn't see anything mentioned OFFICIALLY about a parade scheduled for Thursday. All I heard was rumor-mill stuff. But like you said, Brown went with it.

[samikeyp]

no...I will give the Pistons credit where it is due. Something you won't do if the Spurs win.

It just proves you are a coward.

[CosmicCowboy]

As far as I know that was totally fabricated bulletin board material. I never saw anything about the parade being scheduled for Thursday.

[samikeyp]

Hey....its one of the oldest tricks in the book and it worked. Can't blame LB for trying.

[SpurYank]

'll remain a Spurs fan forever, no matter what. The "no matter what" includes a lot of sh.. I'm taking up here in Maryland for the ridiculous parade bulletin board material, Duncan not showing up at critical moments, TP passing the ball to the guy in civvies sitting behind the basket, turnovers, turnovers, etc. Now I read that the Spurs fans sitting there are mostly in corporate business suits ordering sushi.

About Duncan, he has never said he should be compared with Bird, Magic, Jordan, etc. We did. We all did. Perhaps he knows what he is talking about.

Man, where are the baseline bums? Are they all retired, dead, or what?

[Jimcs50]

Announcing a parade before game 6 started was small town mentality, and all it did was provide bulletin board material for Brown and the Pistons.

I can not believe that a city the size of San Antonio would even do such a thing, it makes SA look like the hick town that it really is. They used to do that shit in the 70's and 80's, and I see that they still act like rubes from the deep woods even after they became the 9th largest city in the USA. I do not blame the Piston fans from mocking this total amateurish behaviour.

:rolleyes

[samikeyp]

that's just it Jim.....they didn't.

[Jimcs50]

that's just it Jim.....they didn't.


ABC reported that if SA wins, then the parade will be on Thursday. Would they make that up. There had to be a leak from the Spurs front office.

[samikeyp]

ABC got that from the stuff written in the Pistons locker room.

[Pistons < Spurs]

I, living in Michigan, don't know where the info came from, but even people here on ST were talking about a parade being held on Thursday. The info had to come from somewhere.


But as previously mentioned.....a City HAS to plan for a parade. There is sooo much that goes into it, that much planning is needed. to think that any city in a Finals game w/ the opportunity of winning does not try to think ahead and prepare for a parade is silly.

[HULKAROCK]

Hulkarock with more ignorant blanket statements....go figure.

I've gathered enough info from the past two weeks to make my "blanket statements". Interviews from the River Walk that had every person with uneducated comments and "homer" attitudes, which is fine. They live in Texas. On our side we had our homers as well, but we also had people commenting on how it could go either way. Did the reporter come across a batch of 7 people that are just plain optomists? I doubt it. It the whole attitude of that state. Stay tuned for more blanket statements...

Exactly this thread is just a useless attempt for some Pistons fans so show they're ignorant side. If you think that after that Game 6 win that the city of Detroit isn't planning their celebratory burning of the city down, then that just makes you a dumbass

[NoMoneyDown]

The ONLY thing I heard was that someone (restaurants, city, other) had put up baracades along the Riverwalk to protect the interest of the establishments down there IN CASE San Antonio won and a flood of (drunken) people would go there. Having NOT added this precaution would've proved stupid, IMHO.

Disagree.. If you remember last year, the Pistons won on a Sunday and only then, after the game, was the information announced about the Parade on Tuesday. That whole planning theory is bullshit.
Keep talking.. We love It!

There's an aweful lot of attitude out there. You can't deny that. We've been exposed to it for a couple weeks and the people I talk to have the same response as I do. I'm all about supporting the home team, but give credit where it's due. (This doesn't include the people on this board who have already done that) I have to put this clause in here every time for samilkey dude.

You're right ... It TALKS about one, but doesn't say one is officially scheduled for Thursday.

[Wreck281Shop]

no...I will give the Pistons credit where it is due. Something you won't do if the Spurs win.

It just proves you are a coward.


A coward <eyes rolling> newsflash you freakin brain surgeon genius you. The only reason we are in an all Spurs Forum is to brag dumb @$$. If I want dialogue on what the Pistons did to loose a game I go to a Piston Forum idiot. You act as if when this series in over (In Two More Days) I will actually give a dam where San Antonio is located or who the f**k Kori is!

People in Detroit always talk about our team and city gets no respect. Well I wonder why when our "FANS" just to show up to "brag". The saddest part is that we don't ever want to give any respect.

You are right, Larry Brown was rallying the troops by saying the parade would be Thursday if they didn't play hard; but I don't think Hulkarock made the original statement.

Yesterday....from early morning and as the day progressed, I started getting very uncomfortable with every radio DJ, a lot of folks in this forum...and a lot of people at work basically taking last night as a guaranteed Spurs victory.

I'm not surprised at all that Detroit won that game....I hoped it would be over with already, but hearing that shit all day made me very uneasy.


It would be absolutely foolish not to have a plan already in place for a possible Spurs victory....have you ever tried to entertain at least 1/2 million people?

I'd bet cold hard cash, Detroit already has their plans together as well.

Anything to start yet another redundant, retarded thread though, huh?

There was a plan in place for a parade on Thursday (if the Spurs were to win last night) and on Saturday (if the Spurs were to win tomorrow). There's also a plan in place in Detroit for a parade if the Pistons were to win game seven. The plans have to be in place.

The mistakes were in that it was mentioned in the paper and mentioned on the radio (from what I understand) that turns it into "bulletin board" material by Larry Brown using it that way. No one formally announced the parade, but it was good enough. Head coaches can easily spin stuff they hear in the media to their advantage.

[PISTONS FAN]

the parade in detroit is gonna be on saturday bitches

[td4mvp21]

I just don't get the attitudes from this city. Wins expected. Even on the TV, just a total disrespect from the fans towards any team. Unbelievable..


Really? I could say the same thing about the Pistons. Everyone of their fans, Coach Larry Brown, and the entire team expected to win Game 6 and expect to win Game 7. Thats disrespectful to the Spurs, so it goes both ways. IMO, Game 6 was a wake up call. We were all counting on the Spurs winning, even the Spurs themselves. I think it brought us back to earth.

[Stons4Life]

This is what you guys get for planning your f-n parade.
