Piston Fan better hope Mia takes out the Nets

Kidd would make Chauncy look silly, as he has in the past.

Chauncey would outplay Kidd. You can book that. Chauncey is just better than him now. Chauncey is in his prime. Kidd is falling off. Chauncey has already outplayed Kidd in 3 of the 4 games this year. And I'll always cherish Kidd's 0-for-8 for ZERO points performance in Game 7 of the '04 playoffs.

Also, RJ is a bad matchup for Tayshaun. If RJ running at less than 100% it would mean big trouble for the Nets.

It's a toss-up for me. The Nets might be slightly tougher, but saving Ben from having to go one-on-one with Shaq for a series could go a long ways in keeping him fresh for the finals. Last year, Ben was completely beat up for the first couple games of the Spurs/Pistons series.

Nets are getting blown out early in the 1st against Miami as we speak, but I was thinking earlier today how well the Nets would give the Pistons a run for their money.

Kidd would make Chauncy look silly, as he has in the past.

Kidd would make Chauncey look silly? I don't think so.

While not so strongly as the starter of this post, but in essence, I agree. The Pistons do much better against teams that focus around 1 or 2 stars. The Pistons struggle some even against teams that don't nessacaraly have superstars, but just have all around good players like Memphis, Utah, Millwakee, and Dallas. While the Nets are a collection of stars, there are 4 lagit stars on the floor at the same time that play together. I would much rather face Miami than NJ. There is no shame in taking the easiest path to a le possible.

Well, Kidd has more playoff experience, been to the finals just as many times as Chauncy, and unless you are a conservative head like jochchehchchjaamamam, pure numbers are not really a tell tale sign of anything other than what they are: numbers.


Kidd is the best point guard in the entire playoffs right now at this moment in the NBA who can do a good job defending Chauncy. I don't care what any of you say, Chauncy is not that quick, Kidd is getting old, but he's still a big point guard who can attack you at the other end.

I was exaggerating when I said make chauncy look silly, my bad cuz its the internet, but you dont need to take offense from that, cuz its obvious that wont happen...but Kidd could do the best job on him than any other pg, and that is the key matchup in any pistons series imo

and as far as the disgusting eastern conference is concerned, the nets would be the toughest challenge for the pistons, prior to the finals. Withotu a doubt...shaq looks horrible and Nets are playing well.

*note, all comments made by cbf under assumption RJ will be healthy soon

Nice comeback after being owned kiddo.

Next time do your homework before posting such nonsense. (or don't)

I just now got around to tuning in Game 2, just in time to see Kidd throw a beautiful pass to Pat Riley. 35-58.

What is with all the bandwagoning for the Nets 'round here? Is it wishful thinking that somebody will pose more of a threat than the Heat? I think either team will take the Pistons to 6 games, but if you want them softened up for the finals, root for Miami and a beaten-up Ben. But please quit with the silliness about Kidd v. Chauncey; three years ago, Kidd had the advantage, but no longer. Again, the last time they played each other in the playoffs was '04, not '03, and we've already gone over how that one turned out.

yeah next time realize that you posted chauncy's averages lower than his overall average and that he had a game with 9 points

[FreshPrince22]

A) He averaged slightly more points and slightly less assists than his season averages.

B) He OUTPLAYED Kidd. Isn't that what this was about?

I am basing my take entirely on past history...Look, make all the excuses you want, but in the past Kidd has had ya'lls number in the Chauncy, Rip, Ben era.....whether or not that is still true, remains to be seen. Besides....the Nets were pretty pesky when we met them in the finals too. On paper it shouldn't have even been close between us and the Nets...but we had to rally to win game 6. Well that team had KMart playing like a wimp. This Nets team is far superior to those that went to the finals.

But for the same reason I think the Nets can take the Pistons...I also have serious doubts about whether or not they can beat the Heat...because there is also no doubt that Shaq had the Nets number. IF, the Nets get past the Heat, I think they will beat ya'll this year, based on past history. Jason Kidd with weapons is a dangerous dangerous man...no one should know this more than the Pistons.

The Nets are 0-1 in the playoffs against the "Sheed-era" Pistons. There's some history for ya.

Their history against you is that they always give you all you can handle...regardless of record.

Saying they are simply 0-1 against you, is kinda like simply saying you are 0-1 against us...


This Nets team has way way more weapons than the finals teams.

Kidd was gimpy, Nenad is a better player and they have VC now. I don't think it matters, because I believe the Heat take the series, but the Nets are definitely more of a challenge than the Heat...

Scalabrineed?

I'll say again: The Nets had two blowout wins in New Jersey with the backs against the wall, they need 4 of the Pistons 5 starters to foul out before they were Scalabrineeeed. They had a chance to close out that series on their homecourt and didn't.

With Kristic and Carter or not, I believe the Pistons would win that series in six games. As long as they kept the Nets off the offensive glass, they would have little problem with them. The Pistons depth is a serious advantage.
