Detroit called Lakers for Advice

[Twisted_Dawg]

The following is an account of a hypothetical phone call between a Piston and a Laker after game 2 of the 2005 NBA Finals........

Ring.......ring..........ring...............

Piston: " o?"
Laker: "Hey man....sup?"
Piston: "Not much man...what's happening?"
Laker: "I'll tell you whats happening....you and your boys are getting your asses kicked!!"
Piston: " .....the Spurs ain't ...wait till we get back to Detroit."
Laker: "Awright.....but you need to change things"
Piston: "Like what?"
Laker: "Well frist thing.....go off on the officials......get a couple of your homeys to say some about the officials......then maybe Brown says something.... , what's a couple of $5000 fines with the money we make, plus the money the winner makes!"
Piston: "I hear ya brother."
Laker: "Everybody be in about the officials, they will back off and let you get physical."
Piston: "Awright"
Laker: "Last year when we played them.....they won the first two games with Parker killing us. We get back to LA and muscle him and he turned into a little . Completely took him out of his game!! He completely disappered."
Piston: "I remember"
Laker: "Well if you remember, then why aren't you muscling him and Ginobili. All you have to do is knock them down a couple of times and they will crawl into their s , never to be heard from again.
Piston: :"You think?"
Laker: "I know mother er! The Spurs don't handle physicality good."
Piston: " yeah"
Laker: "Those other chumps like Barry and Bowen are hot and cold on the 3 ball, you dont have to worry about it. Just watch my boy Horry"
Piston: "Yeah"
Laker: "After you stop Manu and Parker driving, you got them where you want them. All they will do is pass the pall around the arc. No one will want the ball. You will see the fear in their eyes! They will turn into scared es!"
Piston: "True"
Laker: "And Popovich, he be so stubborn, he will not make any adjustments. He will come with the same players. Last year he played that chump Turkalu. He had nothing. We laughed about it. Then too late in the series when it was over, he put Manu in his starting spot."
Piston: "I remember"
Laker: "Me and boys were talking and thinking Pop would make chaanges in the starters and put Horry in for Narz and Brown in for Manu. That ain't gonna happen.....Pop be too stubborn."
Piston: "Hey man thanks for the call.....got it down now....plus I got to go polish my belt up!!!"
Laker: "See ya in the playoffs next year"
Piston: "With that team yall got...don't count on it!"

Is that Elden Campbell?

While this thread is definitely amusing, I don't buy that "just knock them on their asses" bull . Parker and Ginobili have shown time and again that they are tough and able to withstand some hard hits. Remember Denver? Seattle? Even Phoenix got in a few hard shots. How about Billups practically decapitating Parker in Game 2, yet Parker got the up and canned the free throw for the three point play.

Look, when two or three big bodies are in good position in the lane and the greatest shot blocker in the league is lurking under the rim, there's just no place to go. Draw fouls? C'mon! Doesn't work that way.

I don't think Tony and Manu are intimidated in any way. But I do think that Manu is at times overpassing and Tony is just not finding his open man. Criticize Tony for being one-dimensional if you well, but a "little " is not an accurate description.

Watch Game 5.

Elden Campbell and Rick Fox.

I knew it. Sounded familiar.

[Twisted_Dawg]

Does Rick Fox or Eldon Campbell have a "belt" to polish?

[WayDowntownBang]

I'm thinking Rashed, but "Piston: "Awright" seems to BEG Elden Campbell. The way he talks, every third word is "Awright".

Does Rick Fox or Eldon Campbell have a "belt" to polish?

Rick Fox has a face to polish

[Twisted_Dawg]

He hates the Spurs.

14 post really makes him not have life.

Spurs can handle rough play. They just didn't last night.

A line up of Horry, Bowen, Duncan, Parker and Manu to start things off would be an aggressive an fearless lineup to counter the Pistons thuggery.
