Win or Lose, this has been a fun game to watch.
But we better WIN!
I don't know. In the first half, Billups sorta took control offensively. Rip never became agressive. He only took 4 shots. Sure he may not of had as many openings as he would have gainst a lesser quality defender...but still.....He needs to at least TAKE shots, and try to get some fouls.
Chauncey needs to get others more involved. Tay is coming alive, and looking to take over. But our bread and butter is still Rip.

You should watch when we play Phoenix.
Phoenix is a ing joke. No defense and they are asking Nash to do too much down the stretch.
Undefeated!
Thoughts:
1) Raja Bell is a joke of defender. He's not even in the same league as Bruce Bowen.
2) The Pistons will be back in the Finals.
3) The Suns will struggle to stay above .500 without their best player.
Pistons are awesome. I've been supporting them for 3 years straight. But nonetheless, my favorite team is any team with TIMMY.
BUT YEAH!!! PISTONS WIN!
(I have Prince, Hamilton, and Billups on my fantasy team)
Phoenix has no clue in the half-court, with or without Nash on the floor. On their make-or-break possession in the 4th, Marion got the ball at the top of the key and had to give it up because a teammate stopped his penetration. That was the tip of the iceberg, though.
Nice win for the Pistons, who got it done defensively when it mattered.
Emin3m Collins............LMAO!!!
What an ending. That was pretty awesome. Almost went to bed after the 3rd because its 1:19 here right now. ahhh I'm so pumped right now.
The pistons look good again but i need to see them play the NEW LOOk Heat before i declare them back in the finals
The heat have looked ridiculious so far this year.
However, I agree that it is wayyyyyy early to be expecting or predicting anythnig.
If the Pistons stay healthy, nobody else has a chance in EC.
Shawn disappeared in the 4th qtr, zero PT, zero RB, 1 blk.
Pistons score 37 pts in the 4th.
The Heat won't be able to handle Pistons. Heat have no PG, and no bench.
So you think Shaq isn't important. Go back to Detroit
Shaq is only one guy, IF he's healthy in the playoffs. Shaq + Dwayne don't have enough support.
The way I see it, anyone who "predicts" a teams success this year based on the very few games played so far this season should not be considered a true basketball fan, but a fairweather fan until they prove otherwise when their teams start sucking later this season.
Now, do NOT take me wrong. Im not pointing out any specific team.... , Even the spurs could end up sucking royally. All Im saying is, we will see who is, yet again, a true fan and who is a fairweather bas who doesnt deserve such a team as Detroit or San Antonio have. I think you all can guess at the individuals who I am refering to, if not use your imagination ;p.
This has been their problem so far this year. They can jump all over a team and get a big lead, but come the 4th they have no post game and D'Ant is letting nash try to do everything and it ain't working. Not to mention eveyrone else is scared to go in the paint.
They should have had Bobo on the floor to slash and break down the D. Unfortunate but that's the way it's going to be for us Suns fans. A Looooooooong season.
Here's hoping they can get Melvin Ely from the Boobcats.
That is true, but there are some bad trends for the Suns right now and doesn't appear to be any solution at the moment.
Don't see how you can say Bell's defense ia a joke. He was doing pretty well on Rip. Rip went off afeter Bell was out. I thought D'Antoni's end of game subs ution pattern sucked, taking the hot hands and better defenders Bell and Barbosa out. I'm also beginning to think, as good as he is on O, Nash takes away just as much on D, and what averages out is almost mediocre.
No argument here.
D'Ant's 4th quarter subs utions have not been the best so far.
Nash on defense is a joke. opposing players go right by him like lice through the strands of his greasy hair.

I don't get it Carnage.
The last 3 minutes of the game was the everyone stand around and let Nash create offense.
Has D'Antoni ever heard of the pick and roll?
