Nets beat Pistons

[spurs=bling]

All I know is...



If we play like we did tonight vs. Dallas, the final score may look quite similar to that.

Dallas can do that to you.

[1Parker1]

Yes. What happens if they cut the lead to 1, and steal an inbounds pass, and get the layup, effectively going up 1?.

What are the odds of them making BOTH FT's, AND stealing the inbounds pass, AND making a layup to cut ahead to 1 in the final seconds?????????

You're right, from the Pistons fans view, it would have been great to let Mr. 4th Quarter clutch 3 point shooter, Chauncey Billups take the 3

[1Parker1]

They have been 2nd best for quite some time.

SolidD, I'm not sure it's worth it.

[Marklar MM]

Well now that I look at this, it looks like Dallas dropped to 3. So I guess Detroit could have been #1 recently.

[Leetonidas]

Yea, that was a crappy game. McDyess and Delk were the only reason this wasn't a blowout. Dice had 11 points and 18 rebounds in 20 minutes off the bench, and Delk had 12 points in about 10 minutes.

Sheed and Chauncey were horrible. Combined for 3-of-20. Ben was MIA. Rip was a chucker. Tayshaun was bleh...

Really, the starters have been playing like garbage for at least a month. They handed the bench a 15 point defecit today, and the bench brought it back to within 3, then the starters blew it. Hopefully they snap out of it.

At least people can't say Detroit was "bored" with this one because of NJ being one of the good teams in the NBA.

Pistons weren't bored, they just sucked. They couldn't hit shots today. Shots don't fall.

Pistons only scored 10 points in the first quarter. Chauncey didn't score his first points til late in the fourth quarter. Rasheed was 1 for 10 from the field.

They sucked. And, they still had a chance to win the game in the final minute.

But, no, they weren't bored.

Fire Flip?

[Banks91]

i gotta question for pistons fans. What is a good pistons board. One with traffic and good posts.

[JamStone]

If there was a great site, you think there would be this many Pistons fans on here?

But, there are a few.

The official one is the one I go to ... pistons.com.

[T.F. Storm]

[yeahone]

timmmyyyyyyyy

[yeahone]

the refs want the spurs to lose....

[yeahone]

i just like how tim is palying tonight

[jochhejaam]

No doubt. Make 70% and this is a win.

That would have only given us 3 more points. Nice try though.


Worse 2 shooting nights of the year in consecutive games
34.9 against the Pacers
34.1 against the Nets

[FreshPrince22]

Nets > Pistons.

Sonics > Spurs.

[T.F. Storm]

Well, the Spurs losing to the Sonics makes this game feel a tiny bit better in the Home Court situation. If we could win against Dallas it would be HUGE.

[FreshPrince22]

That would have only given us 3 more points. Nice try though.

Doesn't work that way... The Pistons were only down 2 between the 2 minute mark and the 3 second mark. That would have been up 2, and it would be the Nets intentionally fouling the Pistons instead of the other way around. Simply adding to the final score doesn't factor in the free throws that wouldn't have happend if the Pistons were up.

At least people can't say Detroit was "bored" with this one because of NJ being one of the good teams in the NBA.

Actually, I was just about to note that, coming a stretch of MIA/Indy(at Conseco)/Nets/Dallas, this was EXACTLY the game I'd expect them to phone in.
