Why are you so hateful? The posters were just stating facts of our losses. This is basketball. There really is no need for namecalling.
Sorry, this is just my opinion. Take it or leave it. Your choice.
Actually my point was to disagree with your statement: "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."
Seeing, how even though the Spurs are 10-2 in their last 12 road games, those TWO LOSSES occurred in their last three road games, are they really playing the "best basketball in the NBA right now?
Miami and Phoenix are both 9-1 in their last 10 games, respectively. I could argue they are both playing better basketball than the Spurs. But, that's not my point.
And, how is telling me that the Spurs are 10-2 in their last 12 games "owning" me when it doesn't refute the fact that they loss 2 of their last 3 road games? It doesn't change that fact. You're seriously dense.

Oh shut the up and come back when you decide to make sense of things.
Answer: Don't open your mouth and revert to other means of some point you never made to begin with.
It's okay. Me and him have done this several times before.
Are Miami and Phoenix 9-1 in their last 10 road games? (That's a serious question)
No. Last 10 games overall. Not specifically last 10 ROAD games.
I'm not trying to be an ass, but what was the whole point of your post before?
Yeah winning on the road is hard, but I don't understand that because the Spurs lost two of three and 2 of 10 overall that proves it...I'm not following you.
Well, Brutalis made a comment that if the Pistons played the Spurs right now, it wouldn't even be a close game. My initial post was all based on Brutalis' post that the Spurs are playing so much better than the Pistons that it wouldn't even be close if the two teams played right now.
The Pistons just went on a three game road trip and lost two games ON THE ROAD. Brutalis was insisting that the Spurs are playing at a much better level than the Pistons that it wouldn't even be close. I just listed the Spurs' last three road games to compare to the last three Pistons road games, to show that it is not indicative of how good either team is.
Pistons are definitely not playing their best basketball right now. But, to see the two losses, against Denver and the Lakers, and then make a claim that Detroit couldn't even make a game close against San Antonio is just silly, to be frank. I listed the Spurs last three road games to make that point. Perhaps I should have spelled it out in the initial post.
I never thought the spurs should have fear when facing the pistons eventhough the pistons have blowned them out twice this year. The spurs are the best team. The pistons are close but they are not better than the spurs. That's why the HCA is so important this year. The pistons are overrated because they are not unbeatable. Now you really can see they are only humans and they play like when they are tired. Don't call that excuses. DAL only played two road games in the entire Feb. The pistons have been keep playing back to backs one set after another after the all star break, with no more than one day rest during those back to backs. It's a horrible Feb for them. I wish they can come out fresh after three day rests.
very dissapointed in the pistons, was hopin them to stomp the fakers, and then spurs have 2 upcomin games against them, wouldve pushed them fakers out of the playoff picture, and kome can kissed goodbye of this seasons mvp
Look at your credibility.
Well the Pistons are losing their credibility by performances like this. They better wake the up.
Looks like Flip Saunders is bringing his usual "dominate in the regular season, underachieve in the postseason" mentality to Detroit. Can't wait for the playoffs to watch Detroit lose in the first round with Flip.
That's crazy talk. Nobody on Miami plays any D except their backup center. We can get any shot we want against them all day long. We gotta work for points against the Pistons. I think Detroit might sweep the Heat.
Any discussion about who's the best team or who's playing the best from Mavs, Suns, or Heat fans is absurd. There are two contenders in the NBA, until further notice, the Spurs, and the Pistons, end of list.
The Spurs and the Pistons know they can beat any of those other three teams whenever they have to, without breaking too much of a sweat. They don't play defense. They don't have the will to do it for 48 minutes. They just don't.
credibility to who? credibility is for teams that haven't won . Aka Mavs, Suns, Heat, etc.
That's a poor take mavsfan1000, view the following thread specifically post #4.

lakers played inspired ball, odom had 9+ assists, kobe had 40. they can beat anyone playing like that. pistons had a bad night closing down the lane, it happens.
Even with his 40, Kobe wasn't the difference in the game. Kobe was still great, but he really didn't force too many shots. He was in foul trouble in the second and third quarter. And, the Lakers made their best run with Kobe on the bench. Lamar Odom and Smush Parker and believe it or not Kwame Brown's offensive rebounding while Kobe was being rested was the the main difference in the game.
That's right it all ends with The Spurs vs Pistons. The Pistons are worn out lots of back to backs most in the nba. They will get a few off days and come back strong on Wed I bet my V Bookie cash.
Pistons, after the disappointment of the playoffs, came out of the gates with end of season/playoff intensity. Other teams came out of the gates with beginning of the season intensity. Now it's end of season and the other teams are moving it up a gear and the Pistons don't have a higher gear to go to. There still a top team but they're not head and shoulders above other top teams as it was pictured until the all-star break. They are on a par with the other two or three top teams who happen to all reside in the West.
Trust me they are coasting a little right now they have another gear just like the spurs do.
Are you even a Spurs fan? You know we're only one game behind Detroit now, right?
