"Pistons start slow, and turn it up in the 3rd qtr."

[Jimcs50]

Go Bucks Go!!!

possible but unlikely

[braeden0613]

I guess Detriot gets the 3rd string announcers too

[Jimcs50]

Chauncy for 2.


Need to keep his ass down

[ALVAREZ6]

The Pistons will win this game, there is no way they aren't sweeping.


But if the Bucks win, then damn, that would be hilarious.


Imagine the Spurs not having to play the pistons...

[ShoogarBear]

I wouldn't be suprised if the Pistons start slow, and turn it up in the 3rd qtr.\

Except for the Spurs-Kings game, all the game 1s have been pretty good.

[Jimcs50]

TJ Ford for 2!!!

Palace crowd sounds as dead at the ATT.

I feel better now, now that you are saying that Detroit is sweeping.

You suck.

Jim, while I've got my bookie on the horn, who are you picking?

[Jimcs50]

13-11

[Pistons < Spurs]

It's TNT's broadcast. The local feed is much better.

[Jimcs50]

Jim, while I've got my bookie on the horn, who are you picking?

I bet on the Bucks to win 2 games and I got 10-1 odds for $200

I don't know about that. They were dead early and they have picked up lately.

[Pistons < Spurs]

Even I'm not confident in a sweep. Milwaukee always plays us tough.

[Jimcs50]

"Vinnie, bet the whole wad on Detroit in five or less."

Vinnie is not a gambler, I gather...takes the safe road...tell him, that I called him a pussy.

Prince rebounds the same way that Kevin McHale rebounded, over the back with those freakish long arms.

waukee matches well with Detroit

[Jimcs50]

waukee matches well with Detroit

As I said, they will not allow Detroit to just cruise through this series, they will have to play good ball to advance.

[FreshPrince22]

As I figured. The Pistons would start out a little slow.

Sheed is a beast so far. Playing inside-out.

[Pistons < Spurs]

Ben's going to have a 20 rebound night

[Jimcs50]

Redd, questionable foul there

[Jimcs50]

Ben's going to have a 20 rebound night

Flip saunders isn't straining his neck early. That bodes well for the pistons

Spurs will also have a better parade in June.

[boutons_]

wow, Bucks FG 42% vs 33%

[HAHA-That'sYourTeam??]

The wallace twins (tweed and nappy) and prince always reach and slap whenever someone goes in the lane. On my surround sound i'm hearing a lot of flesh with those slaps... I can't understand why the dont call these fouls more often. You play defense with positioning and footwork, not by slapping guys on the wrists. This is the same shit they did all of last year including the finals.

[Pistons < Spurs]

there we go!

[HAHA-That'sYourTeam??]

So the bucks aren't the washington generals??? From everything i've heard in the media I thought this was the globetrotters vs. generals

[jochhejaam]

That's right Tay don't let the big boys push you around!

[Spurologist]

It won't be a cake walk for maimi or detroit to get out of the east. you can argue that the 7-8 seeds are better than the 4-5 seeds right now.

[jochhejaam]

OMG, Bogut is regulating right now.

Fifteen minutes into a Pistons game and a Spurs fan is already crying?!? :lol

Hey, when it's the truth it's the truth. Learn to play defense and stop reaching. Move your feet and stop reaching. Be in good position and stop reaching. Every knowledgeable basketball coach will tell you that. So don't be ignorant. Pick up a basketball skills video fool

[ShoogarBear]

Its a long road, with many a winding turn.

Milwaukee really is looking good in transition.

Nope, no sweeps

We would all appreciate it if you could attempt defending Rasheed. Thank you.

Nope. 5 against Philly, then 6 against Indy followed by 7 vs Miami

No, the Heat swept the Wiz.

They got worse as the playoffs advanced, sign of age, I'm affraid.

I'm surprised waukee is even this close with redd struggling on the field

[Pistons < Spurs]

TJ not playing so hot.


He never does well against Detroit. Honestly, he always looks terrible against us.

[jochhejaam]

He's being neutralized by Hamilton's 2-10

[mikejones99]

Charlie Bell from Flint. Why did the pistons not get him?

[picnroll]

He never does well against Detroit. Honestly, he always looks terrible against us.
Haven't watched Ford much but his decision making sucks he is constantly passing to guys in positions where they can do absolutely nothing with the ball. Don't know if it's so much the Pistons or TJ's crappy decision making.

[Horry For 3!]

Pistons only up by 6 pts

[Jimcs50]

Sir Charles says that Detroit is at the spa.

:)

[FreshPrince22]

The defense looked good in the 2nd quarter, but unfortunately they weren't clicking offensively for shit. They looked a little over excited to start the game. Not to mention Rip is bricking a ton of good looks, and Chauncey was a no-show.

[SpursWoman]

He's being neutralized by Hamilton's 2-10

:lol

[RobinsontoDuncan]

It would certainly be nice if the Spurs blew through the western conference and the pistons were seriously slowed in the eastern conference.

I really, really want to play the Heat or the Nets in the finals, at least rebounding wouldnt be a problem there.

[Carrera_4S]

All you spurts fans need to quit drinking that Haterade. The only reason you want the Bucks to win is that subconciously, you really know you DON'T WANNA PLAY THE PISTONS!! Yeah, you roll over SAC. As pitiful as you are I would still expect a #1 seed to win over a #8 seed. However, if at any time you were to entertain thoughts of doing the same to the Pistons, I would suggest you get out of Michael Jacksons never-never land backyard, come back to planet earth and start sharing some of that must-be-primo weed you're smoking.

I know you are new, but there is a healthy mutual respect here between (most) Pistons and Spurs fans. I would like to take this opportunity to invite YOU back to reality and stop talking stupid smack. The majority of Spurs fans here DO want to see a Pistons-Spurs rematch, and are looking forward to it. Try reading some of the threads around here and you would find out as much. Thanks.

the pussies on this site might be scared to see the pistons, but believe me, if the spurs play the pistons in the finals again this year, ain't shit changing. the spurs are still the champs and the pistons are still 2nd place.

[FromWayDowntown]

I'm stuck at work, listening to the game on audio league pass. I was struck, though, by the fact that halftime of the Pistons Game 1, First Round radio broadcast ended with about 2-3 minutes on the Spurs/Pistons matchup, with George Blaha announcing that he expects to spend some part of June along the RiverWalk.

I offer that for whatever that's worth.

[RobinsontoDuncan]

Hey man, where have you been?

I'd have liked if the Bulls had secured the 8th spot instead. I feel like they could have at least given the Pistons some trouble.

[Carrera_4S]

I'm sorry. I don't have that "mutual respect" you were referring to. I have read all season about what the spurts were going to do to the Pistons. I watched with glee as the Pistons handed you your asses in December only to have you complain that "you didn't have manu and it wasn't on your court". Then the Pistons manhandle you on your court WITH manu and you complain that everyone is injured. You people have more excuses than Bush.

[Pistons < Spurs]

If you can't show some respect that many other Pistons fans have then maybe you don't belong around here. And what exactly have Spurs fans said that made it seem like we were going to do to the Pistons pray tell.

[Pistons < Spurs]

The Pistons are really exciting.

Why do nba players act like pussies?


On Thursday, I got kneed on the side of my knee. It didn't slow me down. Nba players they would be rollin around and sit out actin like pussies. I rolled my ankle on some guy's foot. It didn't hurt me, I kept playing hard. Nba players, they act like lil bitches.

[Jimcs50]

lol! you're just mad cause you're going to lose money on this series! :lol


No, it is just ironic, because that is what everyone says about my Spurs, and now that the Spurs are a little more offense minded, I can see their point.

did you say that when TD rolled his ankle

[Horry For 3!]

I have been thinking about that. I always end up rolling my ankle or getting hurt and it never does anything to me. Either i'm like "superman" or nba players are pussies.

[boutons_]

damn, bad luck for Rip.

Not too bad it seems, Rip is a wimp. :)

Perhaps it's a chronic injury, he's on the downside of his career
(to repeat the garbage we hear about Tim) :)

But Chauncey will put the Bucks away.

Very true. No one is hiting their shots, which will negatively impact his performance....but he still hasn't looked good. I mentioned earlier that he always struggles against Detroit. I've seen him play at other times and look exceptional...but against us, he doesn't get it done.

They're obviously better with him than without him...but he has to really step up for them to have a chance against us. IMO he is their X-Factor in this series.

It’s been…. Hectic to say the least. I have had to take a lot of time off because my aunt and sister lived in New Orleans and I’ve has some family crises as a result… unfortunately people don’t stop breaking the law because I have tough times :rolleyes . This season has been tough to get into though hasn’t it?

PS, you still hitting on every 20 year old on this forum you old womanizer you? :lol

[Amuseddaysleeper]

i dont think anyone in the east will give the pistons a tough time in the finals. i'll be impressed if any team in the east can take them to 6 games (neither NJ or miami will do that) pistons got a free ticket to the finals

hopefully the spurs can keep up the momentum from their solid game 1

[Horry For 3!]

Well this game is over

[Pistons < Spurs]

:fro :fro :fro :fro Only 15 more to go!

[FreshPrince22]

Rip goes 5-for-18 on all "easy" shots, the only guy on the team that was feeling it (Sheed) barely played due to foul trouble, and the Pistons win in blowout fashion.

Bucks are in trouble.

Rip goes 5-for-18 on all "easy" shots, the only guy on the team that was feeling it (Sheed) barely played due to foul trouble, and the Pistons win in blowout fashion.

Bucks are in trouble.

It is not like Redd played stellar either. But I agree. Bucks are in trouble.

[ABDENOUR POWER]

i dont think anyone in the east will give the pistons a tough time in the finals. i'll be impressed if any team in the east can take them to 6 games (neither NJ or miami will do that) pistons got a free ticket to the finals

I disagree. I think either NJ or Miami would probably take them to 6 or 7, and maybe even win the series.

Redd's bad night was due to the Piston's suffocating defense, Rip and Billups just had off shooting nights. (extreme homerism view :lol )

I have a question.....why the pistons have the less fouls and the less opposing team FTA per game in the league????????, is their defence that fair?????.
34-10 FT today :wtf

1. The Pistons whine over every call so officials get tired of calling fouls on them.
2. The Pistons cheat a lot and get away with it.
3. After getting away with a lot of fouls, teams get scared of going in and not getting the call so they end up shooting jumpers.
4. The Pistons have been the luckiest team in the league all season long.


Only a tinge of sarcasm, but all based on some truth. And, yes, I'm a Pistons fan and I can admit all of that.

Oh but when I say something like this I'm being obnoxious. So let me get this straight. The spurts are allowed to dog the Pistons and it is considered ok but not vice-versa?

I didn't watch much of the game. From what I did see though, it was absolutely ugly.

At least I have the injury card to play now.

Ben Wallace. Sure they get away with things once in a while (as does every good defensive player/team in the league....bowen....), but at it's root it's Big Ben. If you watch a Piston game, you'll notice that when the guards get beat off the dribble, they aren't going to hack for steals or get a ton of touch fouls trying to keep them out of the paint. That is because Ben Wallace is always shadowing them. They know he is back there to cut off the penetration or alter the shot. He is really in a league of his own when it comes to essentially zoning up the floor all by himself. That leads to less fouls early in the period. Less time in the penalty, and less easy FT opportunities.

The Pistons really have 2 very unique elite defenders. Ben is unlike any center in the league in that he uses quickness and smarts rather than size. Therefor he is the least foul prone big man in the league by far. Tayshaun is unlike most great defenders like Bowen and Artest in that he doesn't have to be physical and get up in a players jersey. He just uses those freakish arms to sag off players and still alter shots. That is why he commits the least fouls per 48 minutes of ANY player in the league.

Just look here... http://www.82games.com/0506/05DET16D.HTM

The opponent Free Throw differential with Ben on and off the floor is +7 (meaning they take 7 less FTs per 48 minutes when he's on the floor). The Pistons actually give up a lot of Free Throws per 48 minutes with Ben on the bench (25).

I admit they complain but no more than the next team (Tayshaun's normal facial expression is a bit whiny looking). And no my brother, the refs don't get tired of calling fouls, if anything excessive complaining will bring about a technical (Rasheed) on top of the foul (perhaps most of your sarcasm was centered in this statement).
Some opposing teams do get frustrated as they do with the Spurs who are also a good defensive team. If many shots in the paint are blocked or need to be altered or if the ball is often swatted at by multiple defenders that will cause the opponents to settle for jumpers. That would work except the Pistons also swarmed upon Redd who stated that 'everytime I got the ball the Pistons had 2 or 3 defenders on me'.

And they have definitely been fortunate regarding major injuries.

So I agree with your post to the extent that all teams and players complain and try to break the rules while being clever enough to not get caught.

The Pistons whine more than any team in the NBA. Even as a Pistons fan, you have to admit that. Yes, there are plenty of other NBA players that complain and bitch about officiating as well. But, collectively and as far as being overdramatic and animated in doing so, no other team does it more than the Pistons. As a Pistons fan, I don't have a problem with it for a few reasons: 1) it tells me they are really into the game, 2) it tells me when they feel they're getting jobbed, they are going to speak up, 3) I think it's rooted in their desire to win so badly, 4) it usually fires them up to play better. But, they do whine more than most teams, and it's not even close.

I know the referees don't get tired of calling fouls. That was one of the points I was really using sarcasm on. But, it sounded funny.

And, the Pistons do get away with a lot. Rip clutches and grabs as much as any defender in the league. Last night is a perfect example because Rip was fouling Michael Redd every possession down. Ben sometimes goes over the back or hits the body on some of his blocks. But, as the old adidge goes, the officials will reward the aggressors. The reputation the Pistons have really helps them many times. It's the same thing with guys like Bruce Bowen, Andrei Kirilenko, and Marcus Camby. They often get the benefit of the doubt if it's close, and sometimes they even get away with more. Ben and Bruce get away with more than any other player in the league at the defensive end. But, the two of them have earned that benefit by how hard they play. Another cliche ... if you ain't cheating, you ain't trying.

As for the Pistons being the luckiest team this season, also one laced with sarcasm, but there's always a touch of luck that comes with success, so it's not completely sarcasm.

That sheds more light for me into what you were saying in the original post. Quite palatable JS. Good post.

After losing by 18 in Game 1 a reporter asked Rasheed, "What adjustment do the Bucks need to make in Game 2"? Rasheed- "I don't have the slightest idea but they better come up with something".

[TDMVPDPOY]

theres talk bucks players complainin about pistons physical defense, ahhahhaaha these girls should go back to nbdl

[jochhejaam]

Hamilton just reinjured the ankle. Why would they play him if there was a significant chance of further injury? The easiest series and no game until Saturday, could have been a long rest for Hamilton. Can't figure this one out.

[ducks]

because you have a coach names flip

[jochhejaam]

because you have a coach names flip
He hasn't re-entered, the legs wrapped in ice right now.
They haven't taken him for x-rays so I guess that's good.

I assume Flip relies on the Drs. and trainers for this decision.
I'm not sure what the rush was to get him back on the court, the Bucks are probably the one team in the playoffs they are most likely to beat without the services of Rip.

Hmmm, Rip puts his mask back on and re-enters the game, guess he's okay. :)

[mike detroit]

The bucks are unable to deal with the sniper like accuracy of Maurice Evans.

:lol :lol


this one's good too:

Chris McCosky: Are the Bucks' two big centers forcing you to shoot more from the outside than you would like?

Rasheed: "I go wherever my shot will take me. They give me that tramp (three-pointer), I will bang (make) that tramp. Give me the low-post, and I will go in the low-post. If it's a mid-range J (jump shot), then I'll knock that down. It don't matter. Anywhere on that 94 (foot court) is my range."

Pistons scored 109 points. Had 61 points in the first half. 92 after three quarters. There was plenty of scoring.

Pistons had 30 assists, so they were sharing the ball. Only 9 turnovers.

Six players with double digit scoring. 33 points from the bench. So, the scoring was balanced.

Pistons shot over 50% from the field. Pistons hit 10 3-pointers.

Pistons also had 6 blocks and 6 steals.



Great basketball sure is boring ...

I dont think HF3 was saying it as a slight against the Pistons.

I think he meant that this matchup isnt worth watching (because it isnt). Its the Pistons show. The de-construction of a far inferior team.
