Pistons vs Cavs Game 5 - Game Blog

[jochhejaam]

James just missed a wide open dunk. :lol

Cried that he got hit on the wrist but there was no one near him.

[jochhejaam]

Accidently put Mavs in title instead of Cavs. Changed. :oops

[Rip-Hamilton32]

lol..lebron is great but hes only one man and the pistons will take this series in 6 games

[Spurologist]

Piston fans, is detroit going through the motions or what. They are supposed to dominate this game. What's up? Fatigue? Flippy pushing the wrong buttons? Mcdyess should be in the game. Thoughts

I think they want to go fishing?

Too early in the game for an accurate assessment.

[Rip-Hamilton32]

lol don't worry about the pistons..there not 2 games behind..

[Spurologist]

Damn. VerayHo is aggressive

[jochhejaam]

The Wallaces combine for 12 pts and 9 rbds in the 1st quarter, time for Rip and Chaucey to pick it up.

[Rip-Hamilton32]

yep..an odd outcome ben scoring 6 in the 1st maybe he'll pass his 22 career high :D but they are still being out played Ilgauskas has 4 blocks in the 1st quarter but i doubt he'll last hes to slow for the style of play these teams play

[Tanya]

The problem is we actually shooting better percentage this game, but still can't get rid of the Cavs.

[Spurologist]

Too early in the game for an accurate assessment.

is it still early for an assessment?

[Rip-Hamilton32]

yeah...no matter how good we play they just keep coming..james can't be stopped, he just keeps driving through our defence and no1 contends anything he does

[Tanya]

Now Sheed and Ben are in foul trouble. And our bench still don't know what they can do for this team.

[cheguevara]

Pistons are imploding

[Rip-Hamilton32]

sheed is always in foul trouble..mcdyess is playing terrible off the bench for the past few games...he needs to get going and quickly..putting dale davis or kelvin cato is suicide

[cheguevara]

damn. WIzards made Lebron look as good as MJ

Pistons are making him look Better than MJ

[Rip-Hamilton32]

lol..no matter how much i love detroit..hes right...lebron has 18 before halftime and doesn't even look like hes out of breath..not a good sign..

[Tanya]

I won't be mad if the pistons lose to the Cavs. They deserve to lose.. I love the pistons. But they don't deserve to go to the next round by playing like this.

[Rip-Hamilton32]

lol thats sort of true but you can never count detroit out they have to many options but the cavs only have one and as soon as they shut james down( if they can) then the series is over for the cavs..its late in the 2nd and we finally see some defence but it might be to late

[Horry For 3!]

Cavs up by 5 at half

[Manu'sMagicalLeftHand]

Someone tell Flip he has a guy in the bench who did a great defensive job in the minutes he had against Lebron in the regular season.

It's the one who wears #20 and never plays.

[cheguevara]

Please beat the Cavs. I can't take anymore of this 'I'm a Witness' bullshit

[Rip-Hamilton32]

5 isn't that bad but if the cavs pull away then its over...but ben blocked 2 shots near the end of the quarter maybe hes tired of lebron walking in

[Tanya]

5 points is not huge. But can anyone explain how this pistons -- the so called best team in the league play three garbage games in a row in the playoffs?

Let's go fishing Chauncey, you don't seem you want the champion.

[Rip-Hamilton32]

lol...they havent played that bad tonight..and as for putting delfino on james i think its a big mistake that will start to raise the hopes of the cavs they'll start thinking they gotta go to there bench because there starters can't get the job done...now stop goofing around and play some DDEEETRRROIITTT BAASSSKKEEETBBALLLLL

[ABDENOUR POWER]

!@#$!@#%@%!@%!@#%!@%!@#%~!@

:cuss

[bdubya]

lol...they havent played that bad tonight..and as for putting delfino on james i think its a big mistake that will start to raise the hopes of the cavs they'll start thinking they gotta go to there bench because there starters can't get the job done...now stop goofing around and play some DDEEETRRROIITTT BAASSSKKEEETBBALLLLL

Our starters AREN'T getting it done, for three games now. It's probably a little late to defrost Delfino, although if Flip had worked him into the rotation, we'd have a sub who can not only defend, but also PUT THE DAMN BALL IN THE HOOP. Just gotta hope the Pistons come out in the second half, insteada these impostors.

[Rip-Hamilton32]

delfino is a pass first guard which is why flip won't play him...billups needs a big quarter and prince has got to defend..delfino can play defence but lebron is just to strong

[RON ARTEST]

wow i just got home and saw the halftime score. i cant believe this shit. what is going on in the nba this year?

[picnroll]

If the Pistons don't take the series from the Cavs I think Lakers' fan will slit their wrists over the propect of Shaq advancing and LeBron getting even more hype than he's already getting over their love child Kobe.

Pistons win one for the Lakers fans. :lol

[Rip-Hamilton32]

i don't know...we got artest beating up fans..ray allen fighting dooling and now the cavs out playing detroit..its all gone to hell

[Rip-Hamilton32]

3rd quarter has started and we came out strong lets finish strong and win this one and finish this series off in ohio...one problem sheed has picked up his 4th personal foul

[Tanya]

So, is the pistons overrated or the Cavs underrated?

[Rip-Hamilton32]

pistons underrated..lebron overrated...lol just kidding well im off to watch the game on the sofa...cya

[DisgruntledLionFan#54,927]

What the fuck is going on? They are imploding and the Cavs aren't really doing that much to stifle them...

WTF?

Jesus, they look like the Red Wings...

[nkdlunch]

come on.... If the Pistons gave a shit, the series would be over. They are fucking up. ANd Flip is useless, that's for sure.

[picnroll]

You guys are killing ducks

[Tanya]

Hmm.. the team has the best regular season record choking in the playoffs.
But I still want to say:
DET vs SA in the finals! ^^

[Slinkyman]

wow i just got home and saw the halftime score. i cant believe this shit. what is going on in the nba this year?

changing of the guard, this is James' league now :king

[DisgruntledLionFan#54,927]

They are making the Cavs look real, real good. I haven't seen them miss this many open looks in a few years...

[Josh810]

Relax, Pistons fans, they will be fine. The Cavs will choke eventually.

[DDS4]

I've only seen a couple of quarters but the Pistons are off.

They seem worn down, and starting to press. Cavs are outhustling.

[Tanya]

Relax, Pistons fans, they will be fine. The Cavs will choke eventually.

Thank you.. but no. Can't relax.
I am praying..

[DDS4]

So, is the pistons overrated or the Cavs underrated?

I think the Cavs are feeling disrespected, primarily by Sheed. Plus, they're playing for a Larry Hughes' brother.

[Josh810]

Thank you.. but no. Can't relax.
I am praying..
It's nothing compared to our situation. :lol

[DisgruntledLionFan#54,927]

About fucking time Mr. Billups...

[Tanya]

It's nothing compared to our situation. :lol

I wish SA will beat DAL. But I can't tell you I am still confident in the pistons. They are looking so strange to me right now.
If they can lose three in a row, I have to worry that they won't win two straight.

[DisgruntledLionFan#54,927]

I'm sorry, but they look like shit...

[Tanya]

I'm sorry, but they look like shit...

Go get something else to watch. That will make you feel better.
I am actually not watching it.
:elephant

[RON ARTEST]

Go get something else to watch. That will make you feel better.
I am actually not watching it.
:elephant
well you should. they are only down two now.

[RON ARTEST]

i don't know...we got artest beating up fans..ray allen fighting dooling and now the cavs out playing detroit..its all gone to hell
artest beating up fans is unusual?

[Tanya]

well you should. they are only down two now.

Oh really? Oh thanks for telling me.
:blah

[bdubya]

Relax, Pistons fans, they will be fine. The Cavs will choke eventually.

Yeah, like game 8? Pistons shouldn't NEED a Cavs choke to win this.

[DisgruntledLionFan#54,927]

I'm watching the Tigers now...

Verlander is a fucking stud...

[Horry For 3!]

No Rasheed in Game 6

[cheguevara]

OH SHIT> WAllace TEch?????


Suspended for game 6???????????????????


Detroit is toast

[picnroll]

It's a good thing for Cliff Robinson, Detroit, or Rasheed would win most stupid player in the playoffs.

[picnroll]

Is that a Guaran T'd

[ALVAREZ6]

WTF happened????


What did Sheed get T'ed for???

[jochhejaam]

Flip gets T'd in a game this close? Bad move!

[Tanya]

The refs said : Lebron James can not be touched.

[Rip-Hamilton32]

lol..indeed this doesn't look good the pistons might as well drop out playing like this...next season theres gonna be some big changes next season if they don't win the ship this year or atleast make the finals

[DisgruntledLionFan#54,927]

Seriously, the flopping must stop...

[Rip-Hamilton32]

lol lebron can't be touched nor can the refs call a travel on lebron we need some real refs in this series

[ABDENOUR POWER]

And the refs are doing their best to make sure LeBron wins....

[Tanya]

it's a clause under the established "do not touch Dirk or even wave hands in the vicinity of Dirk" rule

And the refs don't allow the pistons to tie the game.

[Rip-Hamilton32]

thats for sure..just like the judges when jordan wins the dunk contest...they need to make people seem better then they really are

[ALVAREZ6]

:lmao @ that one Rip flop in the 1st half...as they showed the replay, Lebron barely even caused Rip to move, and Rip took a little hop step then dove onto the hardwoord...



:lol That was priceless

[Tanya]

We Need To Beat The Refs!
Go Pistons Go!

[snowboarder]

damon jones 3 pt play!

close it out cavs

[ABDENOUR POWER]

Rip Stop Shooting Dammit

[bdubya]

Refs say "Billups is in season - bump away!!"

[DisgruntledLionFan#54,927]

McDyess is red-hot and Rip still shoots...

[Rip-Hamilton32]

give the ball to prince hes got the hot hand! DETROIT BASKETBALL!!!! come on play some god damn defence

[Rip-Hamilton32]

prince is 7-11 from the field even with king james on him go tay!

[Rip-Hamilton32]

billups fouled out! ahhhh we've lost

[ca®lo]

game tied

[ca®lo]

game tied ben shooting 2

[ca®lo]

big ben bricks it

[chode_regulator]

if this goes ot im going to be pissed

[Bloodline666]

I've been told Hack-a-Ben does not work. Wait, does it count as "Hack-a-Ben" if fro-boy has the ball in his hands when he's fouled?

[SA Gunslinger]

Drew Gooden with a strong move.

Did Rasheed foul out?

[DisgruntledLionFan#54,927]

The funny thing is that the two unnecessary Ts are the difference in the game...

[DisgruntledLionFan#54,927]

Flip don't be a moron and bring Rasheed in...

[Tanya]

No Chauncey..
We HATE to lose close games! Come on

[sprrs]

WTF is Sheed not doing in?!?!

That amazes me.

[CommanderMcBragg]

I cannot believe this!

[mrpach]

go pistons!

[snowboarder]

Cavs Win

[Tanya]

I can believe this.
They didn't seem they could win this game at the very beggining.

[snowboarder]

3 straight cav victories

[Bloodline666]

Remember: The Pistons HAVE come back from being down 3-2 to win a playoff series; in fact, they did it last year in the Eastern Conference Finals. Pistons fans, don't give up hope.

[TwinTowers4eva]

This series has rocked since game 3!

[DisgruntledLionFan#54,927]

This is on Flip. Why keep Ben on the floor and Rasheed on the bench with under 2 minutes? You know he can't shoot FTs...

Go Fucking Tigers...

[Tanya]

We had no chance to win if Chauncey and Sheed were not in the game in the final mins.

[jochhejaam]

Only 2 more wins and we advance.

[sprrs]

This is on Flip. Why keep Ben on the floor and Rasheed on the bench with under 2 minutes? You know he can't shoot FTs...

Go Fucking Tigers...

Agreed. Flip at his finest.

[jman3000]

game 6 goes to Detroit in a blow out methinks...but then some would've said that about all of these games so far. I was pulling for Detroit though.

[emo serb]

Do any of you think the NBA wipes lebron's ass for him?

[bdubya]

Do any of you think the NBA wipes lebron's ass for him?

Yes, but if this Pistons team is what they're supposed to be, the NBA could wipe, flush, and rim for good measure and it still wouldn't matter.

[ManuTim_best of Fwiendz]

Enough of these "EXCITING" playoffs with the ideas of upsets...the Best teams should win this. Pistons should have never allowed Lebron and his Scrubs to get confident against them...Or get themselves overconfident with their guaransheed's....Pistons better take care of business at home and kill their spirits in Detroit.

I like Lebron...but he needs to pack up and go home. Come on Pistons....

[Vashner]

Congrats to Cav's.. good show...

I don't think anyone expected Detroit to be down like this against Cav's.

[Extra Stout]

Fixed.

[Rip-Hamilton32]

lol..where ever lebron goes i think that the refs will favour him..
