    can someone please explain to me how the Pistons can be 3rd in points per game allowed at 89.2 but be more middle of the pack in opponent FG% allowed at 44.5%?
    Pace of the game, they have fewer possessions, but are allowing an average number at the F/G % rate.

    Pace of game factors in for Phoenix, they allow 100 some such points, but their opponents 44.3 F/G % is a bit better than Detroit.

    flip saunders showed before that he couldn't give the necessary intensity for the championship to his team. that was the main reason behind minnesota's first-round failures. and this year when the play-off time when the tough ones succeed comes, i'm sure saunders and detroit will fail again.
    and today i saw that derek anderson joined miami's rotation and contributed to the victory against atlanta. now miami's second five is payton - d. anderson - s. anderson - walker - mourning. i think miami will be a more dangerous opponent for us at the playoffs.

    Really? Show me the jury verdict. Unless you were in the room with them .....
    Hussker...that's pretty unforgiving for a guy from Nebraska.

    Nebraska football coach Tom Osborne suspended defensive star Christian Peter for just one exhibition game after he was twice accused of rape, once convicted and several more times accused of sexual assault, and, also, of "disturbing the peace, trespassing, urinating in public, refusing to comply with the order of a policeman, threatening to kill a parking attendant, and possessing alcoholic beverages while under the age of 21.

    Now let's talk about Lawrence Phillips, a superstar running back to whom Osborne gave second, third and fourth chances, despite his no contest plea to tossing his girlfriend down a stairwell, in addition to numerous other accusations of assault, sexual and otherwise. Since he's left Nebraska, the guy's life has been one long arrest record.

    1) We're actually 2.5 games if you consider that the spurs dont have the tie breaker vs pistons, so in terms of the standings we have to look at it that way cuz tying the pistons in the W-L department wont get us hca

    2) The pistons are struggling in rebounding massively. the toughness inside they once had is all but gone. i'm really confused at the way they're playing. the defense has slipped and they arent hustling on the boards like they used to. I'm sure they'll use the 3 days to clear their heads and come back firing on chicago


    its nice to see that the spurs at least have a slight chance of getting hca in the playoffs now though there are still a decent amount of games to go!

    Seems like with the amount of threes that the Pistons shoot they consequently negate one of their biggest assets in offensive rebounding. Long shots usually turn into long rebounds and with Wallace mainly inside the lane on most possessions that eliminates his toughness on the offensive glass.

    Pistons, as "mediocre" as they are playing right now, a hobbled TD and a semi hurting manu isn't gonna come close to beating detroit right now. detroit seems to be playin down to the compe ion lately like the spurs do as well sometimes but detroit will get up for the spurs more so than anyone else, which is why as long as td isn't 100% as well as manu we're gonna have a long uphill especially without hca if we play detroit in the finals

    Pistons sucked in the second half. Just a really poor performance in that second half.

    Bad loss, but forget it, move on, get ready for Chicago Tuesday.

    The way Detroit is playing lately doesn't match half the intensity SA and DAL is playing with at all. So a game between the two wouldn't be close really.

    I really hope Pistons fans wait to see what happens before they open their mouth about Flip considering San Antonio has seen this guy for years and years. They have no idea ... it's make or break with this guy.

    Even though I think the Pistons would "Get up" for the Spurs, I agree. If the Pistons went into the game like it was just another game they would get their asses handed to them. They just don't seem to care right now.

    1) NAH, not really...this is a thread where someone calls out MVP in NBA, nothing at all to do with College Football...by the wat, those guys were all punished and rightfully so, but that should likely be in the College Sports Forum.

    2) As far as reference to verdicts, you are right...

    And OJ didn't kill his ex-wife either...lala land...gotta love it...

    and all you LAKER apologists too...sweet!!!

    That's how we all felt about the games vrs. Detroit in early season. We don't "get up" for games, we keep one level of concentration and go with it but those games were ing pathetic. It was like we didn't even care to win moreless even want to keep it close. We had zero care in the world at the time and right now seems like the 100% oppisite.

    As all Spurs fans know, first half of the season Spurs are one team, the Feb or March after is another. Every stinkin year.

    yeah.. thats a good argument.

    the spurs have dropped 8 games to the Eastern Conference, so point well taken.

    Where the was your point kid? There wasn't one.

    You're either jealous of the typical Spurs onslaught in the 2nd half of the season.
    ...trying to get yourself owned by several posters
    ... no telling.

    Your point was what? SA isn't playing the best basketball in the NBA right now?

    Drugs are bad.

    I'm sorry you couldn't get my point, and I have to spell it out for you. Road games in the NBA are not easy to win. The Pistons are not playing great basketball right now, but the last two losses were on the road against Western Conference playoff teams. The Spurs lost two of their last three road games. My point ... even for the elite teams in the league, road games are hard to win in the NBA. How much intensity are the Spurs playing with when they get blown out by a Cleveland Cavalier team?

    There is my point.

    I do not do drugs. I don't even drink alcohol anymore. I stay sober. You stay a bitter person for whatever reason. Do you have to always be so confrontational and angry? How bad do you need a hug?

    What posters are going to "own" me? And, am I supposed to be scared or ashamed if I get "owned" anonymously on an internet messageboard? Your act is pretty tired.

    Lost 2 of the last 3 on the Rodeo Road trip. Let's see the Suns go 10-2 in that span or better.... yeah right.

    Bitter? Yes. Over gay ass stupid comments by some ignorant poster I stay bitter.
