Welcome! Great post. Sounds like you are indeed a basketball purist, in addition to being a die-hard Pistons fan.
We're all looking forward to a much-anticipated rematch between Spurs and Pistons.
See you in June!

Welcome anthologyct! great first post man! I can honestly tell you that over here, the Pistons are revered second only to the Spurs, and I suppose that is understandable! I think you're going to fit in quite nicely bro! Respect is all that is required in this forum, and even that is sometimes wanting
but is all cool! hope you have a great time.
don't worry bro! I gots yo back!
You guys still have times when you have trouble on offense... even this year... the last month has brought that back up again. Your defense is amazing(though I don't see it as good as last year or the year you won... you guys were defensive ANIMALS that year). I like your chances against Miami I will say it's 70% that you beat them. The combination of struggling vs a semi decent Defense and having to get a stop when Shaq gets the ball in the paint though can cost you a series. Trust me, it's happend to us.
Thanks Mania. I saw your post and SpursWoman's posts as well.
It's all fun and games until someone gets plantar fasciitis.
Hopefully, the two teams can get back to the Finals so we can really start the talk.
homecourt or no homecourt..it will be a battle...SPURS in 6!
by the way...
are the FINALS this year still 2-3-2?????
coz if it is then maybe SPURS in 5!
Yes, the Finals are 2-3-2, since a change in that format would have been loudly and longly discussed.
The series will hinge on the first 2 games @DET.
Pistons win both, Pistons win Finals.
Spurs split, Spurs win Finals.
Another quality Pistons fan.
Welcome Ant
Nice postings, Piston fans. Piston fans are certainly the most knowledgable and respectful bunch of opposition fans.
One true test of how much of a homer you are though.
Tony Parker carries the ball a lot, and gets away with a lot of travels. Manu flops a lot on offense and Bowen gets away with a lot of grabs. I can see that.
Are you able to admit that Chauncey Billups carries the ball every damn possesion?
That is my little test.
don't worry the honeymoon will end when game 1 of finals day comes.
so was IYou know he was being facetious, right?
I quoted the wrong post, sorry.
Welcome to the Forum Anthologyct. I am glad you are here. That was a great first post! Better than mine...which was I love Rasho or some sappy love sick comment.
I am looking forward to a great matchup with Pistons and Spurs in the Finals....see yoou around, check out the rest of the Forum...this place is crazy but fun!
Hi Kori & all Spurs fans...I am a Die-Hard Deeeetroit Fan ...I think that you are all a swell bunch...Not like those Fakers who actually get upset when they don’t win NBA les...
"Piston fans are certainly the most knowledgable"
well, a couple are among the most. A couple of the Suns posters are serious and knowledgable.
But the vast majority of all of the visitors are IGNOREable.
You're right, we're kool for now. Ya'll just gotta make sure y'all take care of business out West first. We'll handle up on the East ........... But when the Finals come, watch out! 'Cause we gonna whoop dat azz this year!
All of them points in the paint that Parker's gettin' now gonna dry up like the desert. And all that floppin' and grabbin' that Ginobili & Bowen does ain't gonna help one bit. Duncan ain't lookin' forward to bangin' down low against 'Sheed & Ben down low!
My theory:
I could be wrong about this, but i think one reason the spurs message board is so much more tolerant towards fans of other teams is the makeup of the actual spurs team. With all the international flavor on the team, there are a lot of international fans of the team. Im sure the message board has gotten used to being a positive place for the fans to discuss the team's success and failiures without the constant bickering that goes on in most basketball forums.
I gotta agree that this is byfar the best forum ive posted at. The majority seem to be knowledgable basketball fans and while they represent their teams, they have respect for the teams that play the right way.
on the other hand, Bowen is gonna put the lock-down on rip like usual, our defense is gonna make Sheed look confused like a deer in front of headlights like last year, tayshawn is gonna be an MIA mofo once again and not even Ben's flops are gonna save you.
What do you mean, "like last year"? ........ For as locked down, confused, and MIA'd as we were, we were still 4 minutes away from a Tim Duncan suicide watch!on the other hand, Bowen is gonna put the lock-down on rip like usual, our defense is gonna make Sheed look confused like a deer in front of headlights like last year, tayshawn is gonna be an MIA mofo once again and not even Ben's flops are gonna save you.
Let me add somethin' to that .......... I won't use the word "LUCK" cause I hate it ........... but I'll say that you guys were extremely "fortunate" that we had to go through Indiana & Miami last year. That's the price we paid for not comin' out hard and playing like defending Champions. We were worn the out by the time we got to San Antonio. We tried to throw a hay-maker in the first minutes of Game I ........ but that was about all we had until we got some rest between Games II & III.
We won't take the Heat for granted this year fellas. So when you guys finish up your business out West, you'll be flyin' to Motown to meet a fresh & well-rested team. May God help y'all this year ......... Ben & 'Sheed are practicin' some EXTRA-Hard picks to free up Rip from all of Bowen's pullin' and grabbin'.
And who flops more? Manu or Ben?
methinks it will be a great Finals this year with Pistons and Spurs along with the fans in here ready to get down...
BRING IT ON!!!
Welcome aboard. I'm surprised you couldn't find anything bad said about the Pistons on this board. I'm sure there's at least one thread in the Classics that should turn you against us.
Sorry for getting here late but on the questions of Pistons vs. Lakers:
In regards to last year my first instinct was, "The Pistons needed the two best Heat players hurt to win, and the friggin' Pacers took them to six." But after the finals and some careful consideration I've come to the conclusion that they were playing down to the level of their opponents, which is a rather annoying habit that I've seen from my Spurs in recent years.
As far as this season goes I don't think the Heat have shown enough consistency for me to think they can challenge the Pistons. There have been games where Shaq looks like his old self, Wade is looking like a young Kobe, and they just kill teams, but there are just as many times where Shaq looks down right old and the rest of the team seems disjointed. If Zo is back at 100% I think his defense can be game changing. I think the Pistons take that in 5-6.
I think you'll like it here. The Spurs and Pistons fans have become a bit of a support group for the chronically ignored. There's plenty of sympathetic ears when ESPN s on your team.
P-Fan:"Tim Legler just said that Pistons were going to get eliminated in the first round."
S-Fan:"I feel for you. Stephen A. just declared that the Mavs were going to club us like baby seals."
If the Pistons really lost Games 1 and 2 because they were tired, Spurs would've been better off without HCA, they could've gotten two wins in Detroit to start the series. So who knows, maybe not having HCA could work out...
