Phoenix is killing Detroit

[Jimcs50]

Looks like SA picks up a game on Detroit today.

:elephant

I still am not sure we can catch them, but this is a good start.

[Xylus]

Game isn't over yet. It's only halfway through the 3rd quarter...

[boutons_]

Pistons will step up the D, Suns 70% FG will drop off, Pistons win.

game over

[cwalk989]

I think what the Pistons are doing this season. Is making a strong argument for them not only being one of the best team in the league this year, but one of the greatest teams ever. I don't know who all is watching this game against the Suns, but they are just have a different gear that nobody in this league can match.

[spurs=bling]

Run Jim Run

[Jimcs50]

Sorry, guys.

The suns are worthless garbage. Shoot the ball well early on and tighten your panties in crunch time.

That's not true Jim :)

Piston's with 21 assists, 22 if you count Jim's

By comming back on Phoenix??

For goodness sakes, put the pipe down bro....anyone can come back on the Suns.

Its a bit early to talk about best ever when the playoffs haven't even started ya think?

The Pistons have a good team, and any Detroit fan should be proud, but keep it real man.

ehh If Billups didn't save your asses with ridicilous perimeter shooting + the suns not being fucked up in the head and freezing their balls in crunch time, it might be a different story.

4/5 of Detroit's team is all perimeter shooting. Good win for them though.

[cwalk989]

the "C" stand for crack

The C stand for Champions, which the pistons will be at seasons end.

[polandprzem]

Now that's a problem on this board. we must think about that and what consequences it may cause for the spurs.

We can eliminate some problems . Can't we Kori?

That's what MVP's do. If the bulls didn't have Jordan they wouldn't have won some tight games either.

Yes, but they just did it against the Bucks and the Mavs, and earlier this year they did it again against Phoenix in the desert. I do not think we can put them in the best ever (unless they went like 16-0 in the playoffs, but no way that happens) but their poise and determination is second to none right now

[SpursWoman]

Jim must have been posting in a Piston's colored bra. :flipoff :lol

[1Parker1]

BTW, I'll admit, Pistons are freakin scary. I can't tell you how many games I've seen where they were behind 10-16 points only to turn it around in the second half of games and just dominate.

[SlovenianGuy]

Jim, you are my hero!

I've just won 800 millions.

way to go Jim.... :flipoff

[SAGambler]

Pistons did indeed look scary through the second half.

But, it sure looked to me like Phoenix started playing more of a Detroit type game than a Sun type game in the 2nd.

Why in the world they didn't continue the run and gun that was getting them all those open looks in the first half is beyond me. Surely Phoenix didn't think they could match up on the defensive end.

[Ed Helicopter Jones]

I would have expected the jinx thread from a newbie. . .

The pistons just imposed their will on the suns. It had nothing to do with decisions they made on how to play. You can't run a gun when the other teams shots are falling and they are playing good defense.

That's because Pistons picked up on their transition D, Phoenix stopped going to Marion, and Billups/Prince went off from 3 point land.

Looking at the Pistons today, Spurs still have a lot of room for improvement if they plan on meeting the Pistons in the Finals. :pctoss

[ShoogarBear]

One scary question: could the Spurs have won this game if they were in Detroit's position?

[1Parker1]

One scary question: could the Spurs have won this game if they were in Detroit's position?

NO! Which is exactly why this game scared me. Pistons were down something like 17 points! They just turned the "on switch" in the second half and got it going. I think the Spurs would have been able to stop the Suns from shooting at 68% like they did in the first half, but our 3 point shooters have been a little inconsistent...Finley, Barry, NVE, etc.

[Vinnie_Johnson]

Jim you are okay with me it's not this thread it's The Pistons Defence that shut down the Suns in the second half.

[aaronstampler]

the Suns cannot be more useless, it's not possible. Soft, soft, soft. Them and the Mavs. We're gonna go throught the West like a hot knife through butter.

[Amuseddaysleeper]

One scary question: could the Spurs have won this game if they were in Detroit's position?


no way in hell they woulda won. if anything the spurs would be the team up 25 only to blow it in the 2nd half. thats the scary thing about detroit, they truly dont just turn on the switch from game to game, they turn it on from quarter to quarter, the pistons have had at least twice as many impressive wins than the spurs and just when i think the pistons are about to slip and we have a good shot at beating them without HCA they put a check on the rest of the league. SA just isn't ready for detroit though i pray to god i'm wrong

[Aggie Hoopsfan]

Five seconds isn't that much time.

It's longer than the four seconds they gave Phoenix.

[spurs=bling]

:frying:
take this Jim.

[Tanya]

The spurs don't need to worry because the spurs play for the whole 48 mins that they don't dig a hole for themselves like that. (forget about back to back games).
The pistons should not have been down by 17 points at the first half. But the way they turned the game around is pretty impressive.
Again, I hope the pistons will play solid defense for 48 mins in the playoffs, not just 24 mins.

There's much more at stake in the playoffs - I'm sure the pistons will play 48 minutes.

[JamStone]

First of all, the Pistons have been down big in the playoffs before. Last year against Philly, the Pistons got down big in one of their games. And, in their championship year in 2004, the Pistons got down by double digits to the New Jersey Nets in game 6, an elimination game.

However, it's not always "not playing the full 48 minutes" that gets the Pistons in trouble. Basketball is a game, a sport. Sometime a good team can get a lot of good open looks but the ball just doesn't go in the basket. And, as in the case of Milwaukee the other night, sometimes the inferior team just shoots the heck out of the ball. I mean, Michael Redd was hitting fade-away 3-point shots with a hand in his face. He wasn't even looking at the basket and his shots were going in all net. It happens.

Now, it's not to say that the Pistons couldn't have played better defense, especially in transition in the first halves of the Milwaukee and Phoenix games. They most certainly could have. But, you gotta give credit to those two teams as well for playing extremely well and shooting the ball extremely well from the perimeter.

Yea I understand and I agree with you. There are bad teams in the league, but there are always good players on those teams. Sometimes they just can't miss a shot on any given night against any teams. The pistons are definitely a good team because they can find a way to win when they are in a difficult situation.

But when compare to the spurs, I do see some problems in the pistons the spurs don't have. Both the pistons and spurs are good at finishing the game. If you let them tie the game with two mins to go, they ususally win. But sometimes watching the pistons game is not good for my pressure when they blow their big lead, or when they are down by double digits and try to tie the game at 4th quarter. That doesn't happen alot to the spurs. The spurs usually don't struggle to hold the lead. How many times have they let teams come back from a 10+ points deficit this season?

I am a dieheart pistons fan but honestly, the pistons don't look like a champion to me if compare to the spurs. The spurs are a deeper, more talented, more complete team. Ginobili sits out, Tony Parker sits out, Horry sits out, Tim Duncan plays thru pains. But this team has only two more loses than the hungrier pistons. That's pretty scary. The pistons are hard to beat but they are not unbeatable. What makes them so good is their character -- they play with heart, they don't fear any hard situation, they don't fear to play physical defense, and most importantly, they love playing with eachother. A team like this is built for the playoffs. This is a great team. But better than the spurs? I say no. What makes me confident they can beat the spurs is I believe their mental toughness and their character will lead them to the champ. :king

[san antonio spurs]

One scary question: could the Spurs have won this game if they were in Detroit's position?
I remember last year when they overcame a 17pts deficit in the 4qtr with amare doin push ups
