I don't mind blown or missed calls in a game. What I don't like is calling it tight, then letting them play, then calling it tight etc...
That's ing stupid because the players are never allowed to adjust...
The officiating was horrible pretty much all of last year. Hasn't been that much better this year.

I agree.....keep it one way or the other.
samikeyp,
Give it up. You are just not going to change the minds of some people. And, for the record, not all Spurs fans gave the Pistons their props after their wins. There are a few fans from every team that just won't do that. And, you know that as well as I.
I agree with you. That is why I said
Sadly every team has idiot fans, we have them here too.You don't give respect to the opponent's effort, whereas myself and a lot of Spurs fans (no not all) gave the Pistons their just props for their wins
That's a pretty pathetic excuse for an excuse. The whole series came down to the 4th quarter of that game, which started 57-57, and Billups played the whole 4th as I recall, so he got his opportunity to help determine the outcome.
I don't know how you can be so confident this year, since we've still got the refs in our pocket.
Hopefully the Pistons will get cheated again.
It happens from game-to-game in a playoff series, but what really irks me is when officials will call things tight for a quarter or so and then loosen up, only to later call things tight again. If it's consistent in a game, you can't really complain much, I think; but if it's inconsistent within the context of a particular game, it's ridiculous.
For the record, I'm thankful for the many reasonable Pistons fans who visit with us here. They up the level of basketball discourse, which makes this much more fun. I hate the "Mavericks suck because they've never won anything" type of crap that too many use in this context; I'm a much bigger fan of reasoned arguments and thoughtful opinions.
We have some really good Pistons fans here.
A lot of Pistons fans really enjoy this site.
I know I do.
I like it because most of the people are intelligent...and that beast of a forum known as "The Club".
Marklar is the Marklar!
Marklar Yeah!
That's true.
But don't worry~ if the pistons out before they meet the spurs, I will be cheering for the spurs from my home.
Couldn't agree more.A lot of Pistons fans really enjoy this site.
I like it because Spurs fans are smart and show alot of respect.
You got banned last year for just talking non-stop trash and not bringing any legitimate basketball takes. Part of it wasn't your fault because you got caught up in that whole lame "Detroit is ghetto" "San Antonio is Mexican" argument. But don't act like you were just an angel.
And now today you are doing the same type of thing with your take that the Spurs have "no chance". This is a Spurs board afterall. Have a little respect.
To be honest with you guys, as a piston fan, i would rather play the spurs over mavs or suns any day. We can play with any team and we can beat any team in the league, its just that dallas and phoenix scare me more then the spurs do.
seriously, they scare you more?
If our teams meet in finals, I'd be glad it if this would be the way players and coaches would think about Spurs. Would mean a nice advantage. But then again, to get there we must beat western teams... so can't really see it happen. I think that finals series couldn depend on a daily shape and inspiration of some key players on both teams.
Are you serious? After this past week for both the Mavs (losing big to the Cavs and Magic) and Suns (getting the kicked out of them by New Jersey and then been shown who was boss today), you worry about those two teams more than the Spurs?
I agree to a certain extent. It's not the talent or the experience or the actual quality of Dallas or Phoenix that presents more of a challenge than the Spurs. It's their "STYLE OF PLAY" that presents more of the challenge. The Spurs can play any style, but they are still more half-court oriented. The Suns and Mavs just jump out and run and run and run and run. The Pistons have played ok against those styles and still won. But, that style can just come at a team not used to it and build a 10 point lead like it was nothing. The Mavs got a 20+ point lead on the Pistons in the FIRST QUARTER. I think that's why some Pistons fans might rather play the Spurs over the Suns or Mavs. Spurs might be the better team of the three, but the styles of the Suns and Mavs really create problems for a team like Detroit which is not used to playing that breakneck, helter skelter, fast-paced style.
I'm gonna say whatever I want to, when some starts talkin the crap like people did last year. I talked trash back, but I'm pretty sure none of the guys who said the "detroit is ghetto" stuff got banned.
