The 04 Pistons team is one of my all-time favorites. Complete Unity on both ends. If the 05 version hadn't have almost broke our collective spurs hearts, they'd be there instead (though that series nearly gave me a heart attack a couple times)

I have Always Loved Mcdyess..... Im glad he is Here, and Im sure he will do much Better then Bonner, Kurt thomas, or Oberto...... Welcome Antonio!

Antonio Mcdyess will be treated well..

Welcome!

I can't wait to see him alongside Timmy D and I think you diehard Spurs fans will fall in love with the guy. McDyess will be sorely missed in Piston land. I am a true red, white and blue Detroit Piston, but the Spurs are my 2nd favorite team I must say. My Pistons are in rebuilding mode at the moment so my favorite to win the NBA Championship is none other than your San Antonio Spurs. I kind of view the Spurs as the Pistons of the West. Good luck staying healthy and please get McDyess that ring he deserves. Go Pistons, Go Spurs!!!

Great post and welcome:tu I'll never forget spilling beer on myself and my girlfriend I was so happy when the pistons locked up the title against the lakers. I'll never forget the bad boys being bad and playing lock-down D. Those Pistons title teams all got it done with D and fundamentals(with a few busted lips and a lot of bruises thrown in for good measure):toast To you and Pistons fans everywhere.

:tu and welcome to the forum. McDyess should be in good hands with the Spurs organization. Hopefully he can can come down here and get that ring.

As for the Pistons, I've had a healthy respect for them since 2004 when they knocked off the Fab Four Lakers. I was actually in Los Angeles and San Diego during those Finals, and it was utterly spectacular to watch the meltdown. :lol

:lol funny cause it's so true

I grew up in Michigan and remember the Bad Boys - so I was deliriously happy when they knocked off the Lakers in 2004. In fact, I had my sister send me a championship t-shirt that year. I figured if my beloved Spurs couldn't be the champions, then I was rooting for whoever played against the Fakers. And watching that beat-down was priceless!

So thanks for McDyess and the words of support. And I like that name - San Antonio McDyess - we'll see if it catches on.

San Antonio McDyess....could become a classic nickname quickly here in SA....i like it!

Nice comments...I always liked that '04 Pistons squad in that they were a great underdog and busted up the Lakers in the finals. The 2005 Finals was a clash of titans if i ever saw one...Welcome to the board!:flag:

It was a bummer to see Detroit and SA go down so fast in this year's playoffs. I always figured they were a lot alike, consistent contenders...but SA's injuries and Iverson's ego did us in. I got faith in Detroit to stay around though. :)

Welcome, and make sure to stay properly hydrated because the Spurs will give you a lot to cheer for this year!

Posters like you are the reason we have a Pistons section, there seem to be a lot of intelligent Piston fans.

Welcome to the board Strokin3's. We Spurs fans appreciate getting McDyess, and I'm sure the Spurs will treat him well. Hopefully they get him his ring.

You'll fit in just fine. Welcome aboard...!

I still remember the video of the closing to the '05 Finals Gm. 7 where the camera shows a close-up of Antonio smiling a big smile,wonder if his smile will be just as big at the end of this "09-'10 season?
