When the playoffs come, Flip will definitely miss more free throws and commit more turnovers than he did in the regular season. Flip just plays awful in the post-season. He choked in Minnesota, missing shot after shot in the playoffs. And, Flip just plays nervous in the post-season.
Spoken like true fan of the game who is not really used to high stakes playoffs.
There's a reason Larry Brown was being hailed as one of the best coaches of all time during last year's playoff run.
It's because your team went to game 7's against decent teams and he found a way to make your team win. It's not all the players. That's an ignorant view of the game.
Flip Saunders had arguably the best player in the game today on his team, and through that run, had some pretty damn good teams.
He's not a good coach. He gets owned by coaches like Pop used to get owned by Phil. Just wait. How many championships has this pistons team won against fully healthy teams? Exactly.
How many times has Flip been outcoached when hes had compe ive teams? Exactly.
He's gotten out of the first round ONCE PEOPLE.
you're living a dream if you think flip will take you to the promised land.
How about you actually wait until after this season's playoffs til you toot that claim.
current pistons finals record
1-1
current spurs finals record
3-0
hahahahahhahahhaha and you have FLIP to take you there now
we have Popavitch hahaha this postseason is gonna be bad ass
Lets wait since this is by far the most talented team Flip has ever had.
Actually, current spurs finals record is 2-0.
Tim Duncan is the ONLY player left from the 1999 Spurs team.
Good to see that you noticed Flip has a bad playoff record. Larry Brown was also sub .500 until he came to Detroit.
Spurs record of getting to the finals after winning a le.... 0-2.
, the Spurs have never made it out of the 2nd round following a Championship year.
So I guess the Pistons finals record and the Spurs won't matter, because, going by the record, the Spurs won't make it past the Mavs

Spurs record of repeating 0-2
Pistons record of repeating 0-1
Spurs still have 100% more finals victories than pistons and 100% less losses.
Plus you have a coach who has proved nothing when it comes to outcoaching other coaches. Nothing. That is what will kill the pistons this year.
I guess Chauncy's gonna have to chunk a whollllle lotta threes into Bruce Bowen's hand this year to get to the finals

And 0-2 is better than 0-1? Sorry, but the Spurs have never even made it to the WCF after winning a le. They had a 1st round bounce and a 2nd round exit. The Pistons were 1 shot away.
Yes, keeping crossing your fingers and hoping that it was Flip's fault not the PLAYERS. Keep looking the other way as the team has been in ruins since he left. Working on back-to-back trips to the draft lottery. But you're right, it was Flip.Plus you have a coach who has proved nothing when it comes to outcoaching other coaches. Nothing. That is what will kill the pistons this year.
Why? Has Bowen been traded to the east? I'm confused.I guess Chauncy's gonna have to chunk a whollllle lotta threes into Bruce Bowen's hand this year to get to the finals
It doesn't matter if they don't get out of the 2nd round.

I firmly believe coaches get too much credit when teams either win or they lose.
Ultimately, JamStone is correct in that Flip didn't blow it for the T'Wolves, and he won't blow it for the experienced, playoff savvy, Pistons.
BTW, all this talk of repeating is nonsense. Each season is played completely independently of the last. This Spurs team isn't the same, and neither is the Pistons team.
We'll know who is better if they play each other.
I'm not saying flip is responsible for all of their losses, but you can't watch former playoffs and not realize that he's been outcoached time and time again.
This entire forum has even ridiculed his coaching skills on numerous occasions.
He's been outcoached but his team had some major weaknesses. No center and relying on midrange shots too much and the outside shooting wasn't there. I do agree that he isn't a great defensive coach but his offensive system seems to work and add that to the Pistons and that is a scary combo.
I agree, CBF was just pissing me off with this garbage about Flip and the Spurs/Pistons records in the finals, so I had to throw it back in his face. The best team will win whether they won last year or not.
This guy is the biggest troll. You LOSE! Good day sir!
who are you talking to?
Pistons 3-2 in the Finals.
Spurs 3-0.
Otherwise we can't count the 1999 squad. David Robinson, Mario Elie, Avery Johnson, Malik Rose, Tim Duncan, Sean Elliott, Will Perdue, Steve Kerr, Jaren Jackson...where's Manu Ginobili and Tony Parker, Bruce Bowen and Rasho Nesterovic?
You know, Rasheed Wallace had collapsed in the Conference Finals twice before he got here, Larry Brown had exactly one Finals game win, Chauncey Billups and Antonio McDyess had never been out of the first round, while Ben Wallace and Rip Hamilton had never been to the postseason.
The moral of the lesson? We've heard this before.

Guilty Conscience?
you pissed-on fans are going to look so ridiculous again this spring when you have to take the wallace twins' schlongs out of your mouth and get on your knees for the repeat nba champion spurs

When nothing smart to say, use a lot of vulgarity and profane imagery to make a point appear strong.
Good one.
