HA HA Pistons getting beat at home!!

[DAMNREFS!!!]

They look like crap!

[midgetonadonkey]

They will turn it on. This game is far from over.

[ducks]

Officials: Dan Crawford, Jim Clark, Ken Mauer
no crawford for spurs tonight

[exstatic]

Pistons won't lose. TNT needs viewers thru at least the half...

[cheguevara]

Fucking Pistons and SPurs making last years finals look like shit. I'll be goddamed if they don't pull their shit straight and start playing like last year

[clubalien]

dallas vs mami finals?

[ducks]

dallas vs the wnba champs and dallas would still lose with fair refs

[Slinkyman]

how many playoff series has flip sanders won? 3?

[dn0]

pistons down but not out.

[Kori Ellis]

I think the Pistons will come back.

[Spurologist]

Officials: Dan Crawford, Jim Clark, Ken Mauer
no crawford for spurs tonight

surprise surprise

[clubalien]

I belive dan will be working the game 7 here in SA

[SA Gunslinger]

I belive dan will be working the game 7 here in SA

I like the way you think. :spin

[bdubya]

Wow. I'm absolutely shocked at the piss-poor effort and stupid, lazy, careless play the Pistons have brought. This half was a freakin' embarrassment. If they don't come out and DOMINATE the second half, I'm going to...hell, I don't know what, but damn.....

[Spurs Dynasty]

Holy frijole! Detroit stinking it up at home. Spurs down 3-1 to the ref....er ... the Mavs. I must be in an alternate universe.

[clubalien]

detriot is too good to lose the series to cavs

edit in below

mAVS cAVS hmm

[Spurs Dynasty]

Wow. I'm absolutely shocked at the piss-poor effort and stupid, lazy, careless play the Pistons have brought. This half was a freakin' embarrassment. If they don't come out and DOMINATE the second half, I'm going to...hell, I don't know what, but damn.....

I feel for ya bro. Pistons are too good to roll over and die, tho. keep the faith

[FreshPrince22]

Dan Crawford = Early foul trouble for Sheed. It's like clockwork. Same shit happend in game 7 last year. Ticky Tack bullshit kills our interior D.

[J.T.]

Pistons will win. They are too good to get LeBROWNED.

[RON ARTEST]

there is no way in hell the pistons are losing this game or series.

[RON ARTEST]

LeBROWNED.
:lmao

[milkyway21]

i love the Cavs' Coach Brown and GM Danny Ferry but i will be very disappointed if Detroit will lose the EC Semis to Cleveland.

i just can't understand how come the two best teams in the NBA are now struggling in the playoffs. They practically ran out of gas bec of that pursuit of HCA?

go, go Detroit! :madrun

[RON ARTEST]

damn ben wallace is so horrible on the offensive end. :lol

[FreshPrince22]

FOUR on Sheed. You gotta be shitting me.

[Manu'sMagicalLeftHand]

dallas vs mami finals?


If we get to see a Heat vs. Mavs/Suns finals, I will be like an anorexic model with the constant need of vomiting I would feel.

[RON ARTEST]

:wow its an 8 point game!

[Spurologist]

:wow :wow :wow :wow :wow :wow :wow :wow :wow :wow :wow :wow :wow

[RON ARTEST]

They look like crap!
so do the spurs. why are you worried about the pistons so much?

[Spurologist]

so do the spurs. why are you worried about the pistons so much?

it's not soo much worrying but more of an observation

[DisgruntledLionFan#54,927]

Let's Go Red Wings!!!


Errrrrrrrrrr....

[td4mvp21]

I want the Cavs to win, but I have to admit, Pistons fans around here have been the coolest lately. So I won't be mad if the Cavs don't win.

[Slinkyman]

Let's Go Red Wings!!!


Errrrrrrrrrr....

hang in there, football season is right around the . . . oh right sorry . . .

[DisgruntledLionFan#54,927]

hang in there, football season is right around the . . . oh right sorry . . .


Now you are just rubbing salt in the wound...

[Spurologist]

I must be Mr. Cleo because I predicted a three and make as soon as Billups got the ball against Gooden

[FreshPrince22]

It's Mr. Big Shot time... He's gotta pull something out of his bag of tricks

[Mavs<Spurs]

Pistons will not lose this game. A comeback at home is almost certain.

They can still play awesome defense when they need to. We have seen the Cavs completely fall apart, especially when the ball is forced out of LeBron's hands.

Plus, I don't like the tenor of the title. Bad Post. You don't see Pistons fans gunning us over our last 3 losses.

[Leetonidas]

Cavs lead down to one. :rolleyes

[MaNuMaNiAc]

Come on Pistons! we need at least one team to stick it to Stern!

[Mavs<Spurs]

FOUR on Sheed. You gotta be shitting me.

Are they calling it tight again?

Well, you got McDyess who is a nice option off the bench.

They will pull it out! Fact is Pistons > Cleveland

[Spurologist]

:wow DUNK in Ben's grill

[MaNuMaNiAc]

yeah, Pistons definately got this one!

[Mavs<Spurs]

Looks like somebody got ahead of themselves!

The person who started this thread is going to be owned in about an hour!!!

Not smart! Can't bet against the Pistons at home, even if the other team has LeBron James on their team. Even Jordan needed Pippen. I like Cleveland. However, LeBron does not have a Pippen to support him.

[Mavs<Spurs]

Tie game.

Now, does anybody really think that the Cavs on the road will be able to win against Detroit?

Cavs have surrendered 20 + leads in the second half on the road several times (e.g. against Miami). Pistons roll in the fourth. Close it out in 6.

[milkyway21]

tied game :lol

[FreshPrince22]

Are they calling it tight again?

Well, you got McDyess who is a nice option off the bench.

They will pull it out! Fact is Pistons > Cleveland

Yea, they're calling it very tight. And Dice is Hurt. He's playing but he doesn't have that baseline shot that our bench lives off of. He's only good for a little rebounding right now. Biggest thing is that his help D is shit compared to Sheed.

[Spurologist]

Is the world coming to an end

[FreshPrince22]

Fucking Fixed. Sheed gets his 5th foul immediately.

[Pistons < Spurs]

I finally get home from work, and come home to this shit? Dammit Pistons let's play ball. Enough of this mediocrity.

[cheguevara]

Omg No Rasheed Game 6.


Fucking Refs. Hate The Spurs And Pistons

[Pistons < Spurs]

That's my boy Billups! :fro

[Mavs<Spurs]

Is it getting colder in Hell?



No, worries FreshPrince22, Pistons have been the best team all year from start to finish.

Pistons only lost a couple of games at home all year. Crowd + the defense (esp the length of Detroit's front line) + the championship experience will pull it out against a team that has a tendency to fade at crunch team.

Go Pistons1!

[Mavs<Spurs]

close game in the fourth favors the team who will execute down the stretch and play better defense. That team is Detroit.

[FreshPrince22]

Omg No Rasheed Game 6.


Fucking Refs. Hate The Spurs And Pistons

No, Reggie doesn't know what he's talking about. That was Sheed's 3rd. He's got 4 left till suspension.

[Mavs<Spurs]

Planets aligned strangely. Strange to see Spurs down 3-1 to Dallas and Cleveland in a close game 5, tied 2-2 in the series with Detroit.

No matter, Detroit will take this game!

[Spurologist]

No, Reggie doesn't know what he's talking about. That was Sheed's 3rd. He's got 4 left till suspension.

what? They give you 7 technicals in the postseason till a suspension is given out.

[Spurologist]

what? They give you 7 technicals in the postseason till a suspension is given out.

Reggie just confirmed

[Pistons < Spurs]

GO PISTONS GO

[DisgruntledLionFan#54,927]

Hamilton can't make a shot...

[SilverPlayer]

Go Pistons, I want to see yall in the finals.

[snowboarder]

Wow if cavs win, I'd give my choice for the cavs to win the series

but even if they still win, the pistons can easily win in cleveland

go cavs

[Spurologist]

Rip 5-16

[Pistons < Spurs]

OMG........not Billups

[ShoogarBear]

Fucking idiot announcer. A sixth foul on Billups is NEVER a smart foul. Chauncey should have let that go.

[Spurologist]

Mr. Big Shot...Not for the rest of the game

[Manu20]

Billups :pctoss

[ducks]

2:12 CLE - L. James misses the second free throw
2:12 CLE - L. James hits the first free throw

[DisgruntledLionFan#54,927]

With CB out, Rasheed has to take Ben's place...

Lindsey and Ben on the floor on the same time plays right into the Cavs hands..

[Spurologist]

Dallas pre-game. They bump into each other repeatedly. Surprise surprise

[strangeweather]

Jesus. Losing Billups fucking sucks.

[Pistons < Spurs]

getting nervous...................

[NASpurs]

Cavs choking under pressure. Good job Pistons :tu

[Pistons < Spurs]

BRING IN SHEED NOW. Z and Varejo are gone. he can score at will now

[J.T.]

Ilgauskas and Sideshow Bob fouled out! LET'S GO PISTONS!

Deeeeeeeeetroit Basketbaaaaaaaaaall

[strangeweather]

Say goodbye to that creepy-ass beard for the night.

[ducks]

1:00 CLE - L. James misses a 13-foot jumper along the left baseline

[J.T.]

If this shit goes into overtime, fuck, I will be mad.

[DisgruntledLionFan#54,927]

This is why I wanted Sheed on the floor...

[J.T.]

Cavs are desperate. Hack A Ben is so fucking gay.

[ducks]

are they going to let james travel for the game winner?

[J.T.]

LeBron hurt?

[Spurologist]

Lebron doesn't get the call :wow

[1Parker1]

Wow, is this the first time Billups has fouled out? I don't recall him ever fouling out :wow

[strangeweather]

Lebron doesn't get the call :wow

Well, we know one official that will never work again. :lol

[Spurologist]

Well, we know one official that will never work again. :lol

:lol

[DisgruntledLionFan#54,927]

Lebron doesn't get the call :wow


LeBron going to the line in:

3

2

1

[Spurologist]

2 for 1 if they have any brains

[Hatfield]

Good play by Brown

[NASpurs]

That was one of the smartest basketball play I ever seen by Eric Snow

[Pistons < Spurs]

omg omg omg omg

[strangeweather]

Wow -- nice save by Hunter. One last chance.

[Cant_Be_Faded]

that ending was kind of anti climactic

[NASpurs]

Holy shit! Pistons and the Spurs are down in a series... hell is indeed freezing over

[Pistons < Spurs]

i'm shocked and devestated

[JoeChalupa]

Wow!! King James has officially arrived!!!

[midgetonadonkey]

I can't believe this.

[spur4life]

i was a "witness".....

[Spurologist]

What? 7 games?

[ZStomp]

Wow.

Even the 'best' team in the league is having trouble.

Let's go Spurs!

[Cant_Be_Faded]

-----CBF ASKED THIS BEFORE THE PISTONS CAVS SERIES-----:

If they treat LeBron like this after 3 years, can you imagine the treatment he gets after his first MVP? First championship? He's going to be the greatest most baddest motherfucker on the face of the planet.

[MaNuMaNiAc]

OUCH!... well... that was unexpected! :S

[x0xbillupsx0x]

They look like crap!
it's amazing what can happen when the refs are on your side at every possession.

[picnroll]

ducks suicide in 3 2 1 ....

[Spurologist]

Much respect to Lebron. Even Ducks has to give him a quack for that effort

[ShoogarBear]

So now the question must be asked: Is Flip the Weak Link?

[J.T.]

HOLY FUCKING SHIT! BLINDSIDED!

[ducks]

james shot terrible in the fourth
he made one shot and one field goal





this team is better off without hughes

[Cant_Be_Faded]

--------CBF ALSO ASKED THIS PRIOR TO THE PLAYOFFS-------


When you have Flip Saunders calling your plays down the stretch, will THAT finally make Pistons Fans understand us Western Conference fans opinion of him?

[spur4life]

so if we win 2nite we will be in the same position as the pistons....

[TwinTowers4eva]

Dang Pistons have a total breakdown, wow @ the cavs.

[x0xbillupsx0x]

-----CBF ASKED THIS BEFORE THE PISTONS CAVS SERIES-----:

If they treat LeBron like this after 3 years, can you imagine the treatment he gets after his first MVP? First championship? He's going to be the greatest most baddest motherfucker on the face of the planet.
yeah nba just wants money and keeping their poster boy in the playoffs will get them a fortune?!
it's too bad fans have to suffer because the nba wants money.

[DisgruntledLionFan#54,927]

Yes, Flip is an imbecile. Nice way to keep 'Sheed on the bench you fucking moron...

5 does not = 6

War Tigers!

[ducks]

you look at the box score
you can not believe the cavs would have won

[Melmart1]

unfuckingbelievable.

[picnroll]

Looks like Stern wants absolutely no replay of a Spurs - Pistons finals. Ratings ruuuuuuullleeeeee.

[Slinkyman]

So now the question must be asked: Is Flip the Weak Link?

it's the same team from last year right? only flip is there instead of larry brown right? it's flip he sucks.

[Spurologist]

spurs thread now

[PM5K]

That was goaltending, that ball was coming down, it was semi-close but it was coming down...

[Mavs<Spurs]

I agree with J. T. Blindsided.


How did this happen? I am completely, totally shocked.

This year will the two best teams not get to the NBA Finals?

Detroit beat Miami 2 games in a row.

They can do it. Believe.

[ShoogarBear]

That was goaltending, that ball was coming down, it was semi-close but it was coming down...
I don't think so. The crowd certainly didn't seem to think so.

[Pistons < Spurs]

I don't think so. The crowd certainly didn't seem to think so.


I'd like to say it was goaltending....but I really can't. It may have been close, but I think the refs got it right.

[adidas11]

I think one annoucer said it best:

Last year, the Pistons depended on their defense to get them through tight games. This year, their default reaction to pressure is to try and outscore teams...to depend on their offense.

[PM5K]

It was a goaltend without question, I Tivo'd it and watched it again.

I'm not saying it wasn't a tough call to make, but a good ref would have made it, the problem is that refs have this mentality of not wanting to make calls at the end of the game...

[MannyIsGod]

Don't worry Pistons fans. Your team will pull it out. Believe
