Try again..... moot....
You are by far the most ignorant Pistons fan on this board. Even more so than those trolls that post 3 times and leave. Give it up dude. At least your fellow fans here actually have some good things to say.
Try again..... moot....
This is quite the discussion.
Does anyone here wanna comment about the NBA.com article now instead of trying to belittle ME?
I have no hate for the Pistons. I really don't. Stop being defensive now. Show some guts.
Best 3 paragraph article ever written...
I think you should work on your personal respect level. Try to sway some people here into believing you aren't as dumb as your posts. Maybe then your rep wouldn't be so bad.
At least these other guys have some sense.
About the article: Detroit will not reach 72 wins. Maybe thats just the pessimist in me coming out again
They very well could though. I don't think they will either but if there's a team now or anywhere near the future who could, it's them this season.About the article: Detroit will not reach 72 wins. But then again, maybe thats just the pessimist in me coming out again.
The Article? What about it? All it's about is "Will they win 70 games?". I really don't see what's wrong with it. There really is nothing to the article. It's not like some in-depth comparison of the Bulls and the Pistons. It's purely a Win/Loss record comparison. I really don't get where you're going with this.
For some reason, 70 wins seems much more doable than 72 wins.
I agree, I'd be surprised if they won even 70...but then again I'm surprised they're 37-5 right now so who knows?About the article: Detroit will not reach 72 wins. But then again, maybe thats just the pessimist in me coming out again.
It's like the players said, "our goal isn't to win 70, our goal is to win a championship.
Fresh, please dude. Please. I am begging you to not be a homer.
Commenting on the pace is soooooo hard obviously. Wowowowow. Let's all just not like where anything is going. Ahuahhauahahhaha.
Are you drunk?
People like you make me wish I had an Easy button to push to be drunk.
A few facts:
The Pistons have played 11 back-to-back sets so far this season. All but one of those sets involved travelling overnight for the second game. The Pistons are 8-3 in the second game of those 11 back-to-back sets. The Pistons will have 21 total back-to-back sets this season.
The Spurs have had seven back-to-back sets so far this season. All seven sets involved travelling overnight for the second game. The Spurs are 2-5 in the second game of those 7 back-to-back sets. The Spurs will have 16 total back-to-back sets this season.
Those are facts.
Now, one could argue the Pistons have had an easier schedule because they haven't had a long road trip this season. Another person could also argue that they have had a tougher schedule due to the many back-to-back sets they've had. It depends what each individual determines and believes what makes a schedule tougher.
More facts:
The Pistons have played the "tougher" Western Conference 22 times this season. The Pistons have a record of 19-3, including 10-2 on the road at Western Conference cities. Even if the Eastern Conference is weaker, to assume the Pistons' record is a result of playing more "weaker" Eastern Conference team would be denying the fact that the Pistons have played just as well against the Western Conference, even on the road. That notion is naive and carries essentially no merit.
That's a fact.
One last fact:
All other teams in the NBA play the same NBA teams as the Detroit Pistons. To say that the 2005-06 NBA is weaker than the 1995-96 NBA is fine. But, then you would have to justify why other "elite" teams other than the Detroit Pistons have not had the same success or similar records. The Spurs, Mavs, Suns, Heat are all playing the same teams as the Pistons. If the Pistons' record is due to a weaker NBA, then there should be several other teams with similarly gaudy records. There aren't.
That's a fact.
Anyone can want to discredit what the Pistons have done if they want to. It's fine. But, to discredit it is a clear demonstration of biased hate. If you don't think much of the record, don't even talk about it. If it isn't special, then ignore it. Hating on it basically shows you're in denial of your awe of it.
The 37-5 record is impressive as it is now. If the Pistons collapse or have a very poor second half of the regular season or get knocked off early in the playoffs, then the start means nothing. So, hate if that happens. Hating on the record now just sounds like bitter jealousy.
Can we end this topic please?
This topic is BORING and MEANINGLESS.
Bring out the trolls!
Whatever...
werent teh chicken suns from phoenix was also at this record last season and we all know what happen when one of the core players get struck down with injury.
No, they were 32-10 after 42 games. Not 37-5.
I think the Pistons are playing extremely well. They deserve all the hype they are getting. The comparison with the Bulls thing might be getting old but if the old record is broken then so be it. There are no trophies given out for best record...playoff games still have to be played...so for now let the Pistons and their fans have their fun let them enjoy the spotlight.
Several ways of interpreting this comment.
It could mean that you think had Joe Johnson not gotten injured, the Phoenix Suns would have beat the San Antonio Spurs last year in the WCF.
Or, it could also mean that you feel as long as the core players of the Detroit Pistons don't get "struck down with injury," they are the team to beat.
Which point are you trying to make? I'm not quite sure.
who cares if they or we win 70 or 60 or whatever. All I care about and I'm sure they do to: 16 wins in the playoffs.
The Pistons have lost almost one out of every eight games they have played. Would it be OK if hospital nurses dropped almost one out of every eight newborns? Would it be OK if one out of every eight new homes collapsed on the families within? Would it be OK if one out of every eight airplanes crashed?
Why are we applauding this "accomplishment?"
perfect analogie. come on this is sports.
Because if the Spurs were nurses, they'd be dropping more than one out of every five babies. If Spurs were homebuilders, one out of every five houses would collapse on the families within.
