please dont jinx the pistons.lol
You know he was being facetious, right?![]()
You do realize JamStone is kidding. The guy is alright
Why must you say his name! In the circles I run around with, he goes by the idiot who shall remain nameless. I have but until late July to enjoy good sports in Detroit (Go Wings, Go Pistons) then my thoughts go to training camp starting, and I start atop the high roller coaster of hope and belief that maybe this year is the year, but by the time Halloween rolls around, the coaster has run off the track, and I am violated in the most personal of ways, only to recover by the time the NBA and NHL playoffs start, and my hope remains high after the playoffs have ended, and training camp starts once again. It hurts so deep. I need help, I really do.For that, may Matt Millen replace Joe Dumars!
You need the Millen 12-stepper (oops I said his name).

Good thing the Tigers ease us into the Lions...
Two teams at the very top of their leagues, two teams at the bottom. I'll take that all day long....
anthologyct -
Welcome to the forum! Judging from your post, you'll fit right in here.
We are a Spurs baord but have a healthy mix of fans from all over the NBA. Pistons fans (sane ones) are more than welcome. Infact they are my 2nd fav. team......... too bad it's a #2 spot that is far far far far behind my beloved spurs.![]()
Nice to see you in here, AnthologyCt. Back when I was a "lurker" on the Detroit News Pistons forum (stopped reading that forum cuz I was sick of the Arroyo bashing, lol), I saw alot of your posts and have to admit I agreed with alot of your takes. So I'm glad to see ya pop up in here.
Welcome to the Forum. Nice first post.
I'll join the chorus in lauding that first post.
I find the discourse between the Pistons fans who frequent this board and the Spurs fans here to be remarkable among the NBA forums I've visited. Fans haven't won championships, but they've been through the roller-coasters of emotion that come with following teams that win. That, I think, fosters a degree of mutual respect among fan groups that allows for solid basketball talk.
From my own perspective, I think it was a blessing to my experiences around here to have the Spurs and Pistons meet in the 2005 Finals. It brought a lot of great and knowledgable fans to our realm. I think the respectful and reasonable discussions make talking to opposing fans a much more enjoyable experience.
I've said it before and I'll say it again: I'd love to see the Spurs and Pistons become the rivalry that defines this era. It would be such a blast at the NBA's fetish for promoting stars over teams. I'd be totally cool with these teams dividing up a bunch of Finals in a row, though I'd obviously prefer that the Spurs take all or most of those series.
Anyway, welcome anthologyct
Sweet, we'll take the next one...

FromWayDowntown,
I've been saying that all along ............. I want this to become one of those great rivalries. I hate the fact that the NBA has this absolute NEED to promote stars who haven't earned jack ......... You ever notice how when the NBA promotes a Spurs or Pistons game on National TV, its always, "The Pistons" or "The Spurs" vs. some team. But when its another team, it's always, "Dwayne Wade & The Heat vs. some team", or LeBron James & The Cavs vs. soome team, or Carmelo & the Nuggets vs. whomever. Its as if those individual players are better than the rest. Maybe thats why they dont' win Championships. You'll never hear Duncan & the Spurs, or Big Ben & The Pistons.
But in order for ours to be a true rivalry, we have to beat you guys in the Finals. That way, we'd be 2-2 in this era.
I don't consider your first championship to be of this era; mostly because it was pre-Laker Dynasty, and the only member on that team left is Duncan. The Spurs have a new personality with Parker, Ginobili & Bowen, and are a better team.
But think about this for a moment ......... Had Billups not gotten injured, (sprained ankle), in '03 when we were swept by New Jersey, we would have met you in the Finals then. ......... And had Derrick Fisher not made that shot you would have beaten the Lakers and we would have met again in '04.
We would have definately lost in '03 ......... At that time, we had Okur & Corliss Williamson in place of 'Sheed ............ not a good formula for success against The Big Fundamental. Once we got 'Sheed, it put the league on notice. And y'all know, 'Sheed saves his true "A" game for Duncan!
Let me ask y'all a question ............. last year, did the majority of Spurs fans think the Heat would be us? And, what do you guys think about Detroit vs. Miami this year?
You probably saw where I cautioned my fellow Pistons fans about believing that just because we whooped you guys in the regular season, that it doesn't mean Jack. You guys didn't have to win those games. We on the other hand, had to.
I'm the biggest HOMER in the world ............. but I'm not smokin' any of 'Sheed's special stash ............ I know when the Finals come, you guys will kick it up another notch. And y'all know we'll be waitin' on it.
But I'll tell you this right now ........... that Tony Parker-points in the paint bullsh*t is gettin' shut down! All those teardrops and reverse layups ain't happenin' against Motown ........ Billups ain't havin' none of it!
One other thing .............. I already said how much I respect the Spurs ......... but that lovefest between Pop & LB last year made me sick! I blame that as a contributor to why you guys beat us ......... LB never had that killer instinct like he had against the Lakers .......... otherwise, he wouldn't have had Prince down low tryin' to guard Duncan in the 4th Quarter of Game VII .......... Oh please, don't get me started; I'm having flash-backs!
