call of the suicide watch in Michigan, the Pistons are gonna be ok.
Hunter is one of the best defenders in the league even at his advanced age. Don't you remember what he did to Beno?Oh, to watch Tony and Manu struggle against Lindsey Hunter.
Still, Parker & Gino played terribly. They had no confidence in their penetration on on their jump shots. You could tell they were intimidated by the Pistons defence.
I have seen that on this board. You guys always give us props and act humble after we face off against each other. I know Sheed is just a character. talking, or dancing on a win, etc etc doesnt really bother me. If anything, it's why the game is fun. I dont take that stuff personally. Glad you understand and forgive me.
The way the Spurs are playing right now has nothing to do with personnel or lack there of. It's more of an effort and execution problem. The ball movement is not there, the energy is not there. And up until a few games ago the "Big 3" as a whole haven't been there. IMO there's no need to make a move via trade. Unless Barry is going to be sidelined longer then expected.
yes I agree..........just like tony parker. One announcer recently said that TP was basically a one-dimensional PG. Penetrate and layup. One dimensional players usually have a problem with a good defensive team. Tonight was another example. But it wasn't the first time and it won't be the last time.
Until TP has a reliable jumper, he will not be a clutch player against a top defensive team (no, i am not talking about Cleveland).

There was one sequence where everyone collapsed around Duncan and TP got a pass about 15 feet away with no one near him. He must have spent 3 seconds looking at the basket, wondering whether he should shoot it, and almost double-clutched it before realizing if he didn't shoot, he was going to be yelled at by Pop and let it go.
I mean, how could a supposedly top PG have that kind of lack of self-confidence on a wide open jumper 15 feet away with not one player near him? Damn he frustrates me. And i thought he was making real headways this year earlier in the season. Lately, he is playing like the old Parker that used to drive me crazy.
Um did Parker bang your wife or something? Quit being a and talk about something else for a change.
It wasn't from lack of effort. There were lot of matchup problems for Spurs. Bowen couldn't stop Hamilton. Parker couldn't do anything against Billups (did someone keep saying Parker is way better than Billups?). Oberto is too small and weak to stop Rasheed in the paint.
Our players try to go one-on-one instead of using TD (they started to go to him after Parker kept missing and getting the ball stripped, but by then it was too late).
And then when TD got hot. Gino tried to take over with jumpers and missed most of them.
Let's face it, Pistons just outplayed them.
It's hard for Bowen to stop anyone from the bench. When you are trying to come back at the end of the game, it's always nice to know you have Tim Duncan and Tony Parker patrolling the lane ready to defend the rim.
You most certainly must have an "Obstructed View" when you say defense and TP in the same sentence.
Hmmmm...
I wonder why?
Good game.
If there's one man on this board who can say that and really, REALLY mean it, it's P<S.

Wow 35 pages for an in game thread, that's awesome your lucky if you get 6 or 7 pages worth on the pistons.com message board.
Good game...the Pistons are the real deal...hope to see you all in the Finals!
What would we do without SpursDynasty to spread his knowledge of basketball? We're so blessed...
correct me if i'm wrong.
but i belive the way their playing could be due to the injuries they have suffered throughout the yr.
givin time for them to be togather as a whole their be fine.spurs are like the pistons they realize reg season means very little and thats why i respect them.look at it this way.all the injuries spurs have suffered they still have only 11 losses thats impressive.btw i'm new to this board,i'm very impressed.

You must be completely stupid if you actually think I'm suggesting Parker under the rim with Duncan is a good idea.
Ask Richard Hamilton if Parker's a good defender.That said, he isn't when you have him trying to guard a 4 or 5 two feet from the hoop, particularly when you are trying to get stops.
Then exactly what do you mean when you talk about "Tony Parker patrolling the lane ready to defend the rim?"
I was being facetious. Since Tony Parker is six feet tall, I'd figured that would be obvious, particularly since I used the quote above. It's hard to believe that anyone that claims to know anything about basketball would fail to see the sarcasm in my statement, especially coming in a game thread for a loss. So I therefore go back to my original hypothesis: you must be completely stupid.
Except you stated "Tim Duncan" as well who does in fact patrol the paint and defend the rim. If it was sarcasm, why also include Tim Duncan's name?
It appears you just don't make much sense.
Dirk > Rasheed when Rasheed goes crazyDirk > Rasheed
when Rasheed is in good mood, he will own Dirk like ....
Rasheed would have at least 3 rings had he known to control his temper.
