Classy post welcome to the board![]()
You guys are getting one of a guy in Antonio McDyess or shall I say San Antonio McDyess.He will give his heart and soul and then some. I can't wait to see him alongside Timmy D and I think you diehard Spurs fans will fall in love with the guy. McDyess will be sorely missed in Piston land. I am a true red, white and blue Detroit Piston, but the Spurs are my 2nd favorite team I must say. My Pistons are in rebuilding mode at the moment so my favorite to win the NBA Championship is none other than your San Antonio Spurs. I kind of view the Spurs as the Pistons of the West. Good luck staying healthy and please get McDyess that ring he deserves. Go Pistons, Go Spurs!!!

welcome !

welcome!
Sweet! Another Pistons fan!
Has there been any public comments from Dice regarding his decision to go to SA? I haven't really seen anything up to this point.
Will always thank the Pistons for beating the Lakers in the finals with shaq, kobe, payton, malone, you know the guys. Everyone had the Lakers as a lock to win the championship that year and the Pistons just took it from them in 5 games.
the famous five game sweep
McDyess is vintage Spur! He flies under the radar and doesn't care who gets the credit. He will love SA because he will be able to live without bodyguards. He is 100% upgrade at starting center and will take pressure off Timmy in the paint. He won't even have to play 32m a game. Pop will monitor his minutes also. He will be, in fact, the most influential FA signing of the offseason[sorry vINCE, sHEED and sHAQ].
I haven't heard a public statement from Dyess, but the Pistons organization loves McDyess and would have loved to have him back, but the best move was for Antonio to have a legitimate shot at a ring. Antonio McDyess is very hungry and you guys will see, this guy does not play like a 34 year old man at all. He will dive for loose balls, sacrifice his body and absolutely hustle all over the court giving maximum effort. McDyess was the only guy that refused to give less than 100% when things got out of control last season with the whole Allen Iverson and inexperienced coach Curry situation. In the 1st round against the Cavs we were down 3-0 and McDyess came out fighting in game 4 with a 26 point, 10 rebound performance, refusing to quit. So again, we hated to see Antonio leave and he basically waited around until the NBA announced the salary cap to see how much cap space the Pistons had, but I believe Joe D encouraged McDyess to do what was best for himself this time. Remember McDyess walked away from Denver in the Billups trade leaving a substantial amount of money on the table due to his loyalty to the Pistons organization. It wasn't fair for him to only take the 3.5 million the Pistons could offer, but to also have little chance of winning a le due to the Pistons being in transition mode. I am happy for McDyess and rooting for the Spurs to take care of business. McDyess is 2nd to none in his loyality, effort, passion for the game, and desire to win a ring. Get Er' Done fellas, Spurs 09/10 NBA World Champions!!!!
i will never forget the game vs Orlando last season. He broke his ribcage, grabbing a game deciding rebound in the closing minute of the game. True Warrior.
No. You had it correct the first time.
Take a bow and welcome to Spurland.![]()
there is a piston forum here also
Spurs fans will treat him well until he shows any sign of slowing down.
Don't miss the Pistons forum. Lots of good Pistons fanatics here![]()
Spurs are a fickle fan base.
Thanks z0sa, I am going to check it out. I was pleasantly suprised to see so much love for the Pistons in Spurs land. The Pistons and Spurs are my two favorite teams so this is the best of both worlds here. Thanks for the info z0sa. Go Pistons!! Go Spurs!!
Depends if he's sharp in his rotations.
and
san antonio mcdyess. That's so funny.![]()
The 04 Pistons team is one of my all-time favorites. Complete Unity on both ends. If the 05 version hadn't have almost broke our collective spurs hearts, they'd be there instead (though that series nearly gave me a heart attack a couple times)
