Did you have to actually throw the kick in the balls on top of what we are having to watch?
Dwyane Wade and the rest of his Detroit Piston teammates have just swept through the Eastern Conference and are waiting to see who will come out of the West to upset the three-time defending champions.

Detroit is playing like stool and only down 2.
"only down 2."
... only down 2 ... games.
Is this the same alternate universe where Josh Howard and the rest of the Spurs are taking on the Suns right now?
Yeah, in that alternate universe, Josh Howard and Leandro Barbosa would be kicking the crap out of the Detroit Pistons bench in the NBA finals.
Ouch.
I actually almost lost it last night. This whole series, I have been thinking..."Man, the Pistons need a go-to scorer. A guy who gets points exactly when you need them."
All the while, I was watching him shred the Pistons. ing Darko. Coulda had CB4, too.
I was laughing yesterday watching the game thinking how the Pistons ownership must be feeling after picking Darko and passing on Anthony, Bosh, and Wade. Truly sad.
Billups has been your main go to guy and has come up big for you guys in MANY situations. He's just hitting a rough patch right now, at a bad time. He looks tired and lost out there.
Cheer up. I have it on good authority that we live in the ONLY universe where the Washington Wizards haven't been starting a front line of Ben Wallace, Rasheed Wallace, and Chris Webber for the last decade.
But, could that Washington Wizards frontcourt really compete with the Chicago Bulls frontcourt of Elton Brand, Ron Artest, and Brad Miller?
I dont understand how you can say yall dont have a go to guy? Billups and Hamilton are almost undefendable go to guys.
There are two things at play here that are causing the downfall of Detroit (and CBF mentioned both of them early in the season):
1)Playing your 5 starters 40 minutes for the entire season has caused your guys to slow down
2) Flip. Saunders.
I cannot fathom how a team with Richard Hamilton could ever be desperate to get points. Just in give him the ball off a curl and he gets his money shot.
Regular season:
Chauncey Billups: 36.1 mpg, 81 games
Tayshaun Prince: 35.3 mpg, 82 games
Richard Hamilton: 35.3 mpg, 80 games
Ben Wallace: 35.2 mpg, 82 games
Rasheed Wallace: 34.8 mpg, 80 games
Dwyane Wade: 38.6 mpg, 75 games
Shawn Marion: 40.3 mpg, 81 games
Dirk Nowitzki: 38.1 mpg, 81 games
LeBron James: 42.5 mpg, 79 games
Kobe Bryant: 41.0 mpg, 80 games
Lamar Odom: 40.3 mpg, 80 games
Elton Brand: 39.2 mpg, 79 games

Yeah...only down 2.....
And playing like they don't know where they are....
Pistons got to believing the hype that they were as great as the press made them out to be.
Anyone that watched the team after the ASB should have realized that's what it was....Pure ing hype.
Then of course there's universe #3453005-B, with Howard, Barbosa, and Nocioni.
76-6.
Pistons were fine after the ASB. It's been in the playoffs the Pistons have really sucked it up.
20-9 after the all star break. And, three of those nine losses were in the final four games when homecourt was already decided and in which the starters were right in the game if not leading before the reserves lost the games in the fourth quarter against the other teams' starters.
The only bad regular season losses after the all star break were against the Lakers on the road, Denver on the road, and the Wizards on the road. But, I guess you can believe what you want to believe.
The Pistons have been horrible in the playoffs. I don't know how anyone could really say they were hype after the ASB in the regular season.

Sounds a lot like the Spurs....
Sounds a lot like the Minnesota Timberwolves 2000-2004.
Sounds a lot like smack talk between two teams out of the running unexpectedly early...
I really do want the Pistons to win.
On the other hand, there is undeniable satisfaction to calling my shot about Flip before the season began and maybe getting it right.
However, in that alternate universe, even Flip can't screw up a backcourt rotation of Billups, Hamilton, and Wade.
