Yeah my girlfriend who is from Detroit is about to be home from work in the next 20 minutes. She is going to constantly rub it in my face on a day that has been shitty throughout. She keeps up with Detroit teams constantly. I am also suffering a 24 hour bug and now I get this. My bad for snapping and being edgy.Quote:

Really, the Pistons and Pistons fans aren't the ones to get upset about after a game. We actually like you guys.
I think we're in better shape this year. Last year we didn't have the injuries to the big 3 that got them out of rhythm. We just blew. I really feel like we're going to go on a tear soon.Quote:

Kidding. I agree with JamStone. I dotn think there are two teams or two fan bases that respect each other as much as the pistons and spurs.
Hope we see each other at the end of the road :toast
call of the suicide watch in Michigan, the Pistons are gonna be ok.

I have seen that on this board. You guys always give us props and act humble after we face off against each other. I know Sheed is just a character. Shit talking, or dancing on a win, etc etc doesnt really bother me. If anything, it's why the game is fun. I dont take that stuff personally. Glad you understand and forgive me. :toast :toastQuote:

There was one sequence where everyone collapsed around Duncan and TP got a pass about 15 feet away with no one near him. He must have spent 3 seconds looking at the basket, wondering whether he should shoot it, and almost double-clutched it before realizing if he didn't shoot, he was going to be yelled at by Pop and let it go.
I mean, how could a supposedly top PG have that kind of lack of self-confidence on a wide open jumper 15 feet away with not one player near him? Damn he frustrates me. And i thought he was making real headways this year earlier in the season. Lately, he is playing like the old Parker that used to drive me crazy.
Um did Parker bang your wife or something? Quit being a douche and talk about something else for a change.Quote:

Let's face it, Pistons just outplayed them.
It's hard for Bowen to stop anyone from the bench. When you are trying to come back at the end of the game, it's always nice to know you have Tim Duncan and Tony Parker patrolling the lane ready to defend the rim.
You most certainly must have an "Obstructed View" when you say defense and TP in the same sentence.Quote:
