Riiiiiiiight...
And Memphis is right up there with the Spurs in the West...
Finally a Detroit fan that knows the truth. Very rare. Easy road games and games against non contenders. Milwaukee is a contender with Miami and Detroit in the east.

X-Factor with the "Dash" is a real Piston fan (unlike X Factor with no "Dash"). I think he's just trying to be sarcastic. Here are the wins that I feel are "quality" wins:
at Phoenix
at Houston (with T-mac)
at Clippers (they're 10-2 there)
at Milwaukee (on the 2nd of a back-to-back, with the first being a 2OT game)
at Memphis (They're damn good)
at Golden State (when they were playing great ball)
So, when you look at it, we have played, and beaten, quite a few quality teams on the road. Road games aren't easy no matter who the opponent is. There are some other wins against +.500 teams, but the other team has to play fairly well for me to consider it a quality win.

Funny, we beat the Bucks in Milwaukee on the back end of a back-to-back with the first game going to double overtime.

*laughing* They've played 2/3 of their games on the road, just won 5-games in 7-days, heck, already made 2 different west coast trips and only have one more trip to the west coast left this season. 10-2 against the Western Conference including Clippers, Suns, Warriors, and Griz ... And the Dallas loss by 37 came on 3rd in 4 in 3 different time zones and back end of back to back (a.k.a., scheduling loss) ...
Save the f'ing trashtalk till June, 'eh?
FP22 wins the prize
I still want to see how they finish the year playing the Spurs and Heat at home and the Cavs in Cleveland on New Year's eve day... if they start the new year still only with 3 losses (two of which they really beat themselves) then I will be happy...
Blazers got ripped off by the refs last night.
The refs were bad in the second half last night. No doubt the Pistons got the calls...
Two fouls on Billups 3 pt attempts in successive possessions plus a questionable goaltending call on Theo buried the Blazers...
Really, they called two consecutive 3-point fouls? Never seen that before.
it will be interesting to see how milwaukee does the rest of this season. they're not ready to go toe to toe with the pistons or heat in the playoffs, but they are definitely on the level right below them with the pacers(since the pacers are playing badly right now). it may be very different at the end of the season, but right now they are looking pretty good. they could use a bit more big depth, but they are leaps and bounds ahead of where they were last season.
It was ridiculous. Even Billups was laughing at the calls.
mikejones99,
Take a careful look at what the Pistons have done so far. You can downplay the Pistons' record all you want. You can say the road games were easy, and the Pistons haven't played many contenders. But, in truth, the Pistons are playing very well and deserve credit. They're still 12-2 on the road and 5-2 on the second game of back-to-backs. And, all those non-contenders you talk about ... well, the Pistons HAVE had 9-10 blowouts already. They'll take it. Will the Pistons be this good all season? Probably not. But, they're playing better than any other team in the league right now, despite what you think about how good the teams they've played are.
DETROIT PISTONS SCHEDULE (so far)
11/2 Philly W 108-88 (blowout)
11/4 @ Boston W 82-81 (kept it close, and won at the end ... lucky, but they'll take it)
11/5 Toronto W 117-84 (blowout)
11/8 @ Sacramento 102-88 (basically a blowout)
11/10 @ Phoenix 111-104 (good win against a run-and-gun team)
11/11 @ Portland (3d game of the WC trip, second of back-to-back, played sluggish, but eeked out the W)
11/15 Boston W 115-100 (blowout)
11/18 @ Houston 78-70 (ugly road win, but they'll take it)
11/19 @ Dallas L 82-119 (first loss was really ugly, Dallas played extremely well, Pistons got their asses handed to them, back-to-back didn't matter, Dallas was just better that night)
11/23 Denver W 114-89 (blowout)
11/25 Washington L 114-120 2OT (had chances to win, but Caron Butler came up huge in the overtimes, and Pistons couldn't score enough, Ben, Rip, and Chauncey all fouled out)
11/26 @ Milwaukee W 85-76 (tough second game of back-to-back and on the road, gritty win)
11/30 @ New Jersey W 93-83 (solid road win, bad second quarter by the bench, otherwise, it should have been a blowout)
12/2 New York W 106-98 (emotional game with Larry Brown, but relatively easy win, even though the score doesn't reflect it)
12/3 @ Chicago W 92-79 (blowout road win)
12/9 @ Golden State W 106-103 (Jason Richardson was unstoppable, Pistons were fortunate to get the win, played very poised at the end of the game)
12/11 @ LA Clippers W 109-98 (Clippers were hyped from the start, Brand and Kaman came out firing and playing well, but Pistons still controlled the entire game, very good road win)
12/12 @ Utah L 78-92 (Pistons had 13 point lead at halftime, and came out flat in the second half, Kirilenko and Okur played very well, and Jazz hustled more against Pistons tired legs, second bad loss of the season)
12/14 Sacramento W 109-98 (blowout)
12/16 Chicago W 110-82 (blowout)
12/17 @ Charlotte W 103-78 (blowout)
12/19 @ Memphis W 106-104 (had control of the game for most of the game, Gasol and Memphis made a strong comeback and pushed Detroit to the limit, gutcheck win)
12/20 Portland W 93-89 (closer than it should have, despite the back-to-back, Zach Randolph scored at will, first time the Pistons failed to score 100 points at home, a win is a win, but Pistons did not play well)
Referees definitely helped the Pistons last night. Two questionable goaltending calls on Theo Ratliff as well. That's tough, if you're a Blazers fan. Pistons are not going to feel bad about getting the benefit of the call. Every team and player has felt the other end of a poor call.
The Theo block was legit. I'll give you that. But if you hit a guy on the elbow as he takes a three it's gonna be a foul. Just because you did it on the previous possession doesn't mean you get a free pass on the next possession. Needless to say, Chauncey doesn't shoot three-balls that come up 5 feet short and 2 feet wide.
The Blazers got plenty of calls as well. Sheed was manhandled by the refs down the strech and Rip had a perfectly clean block down the strech that wasn't even close and they called a foul.
BTW, how about Ruben patterson throwing the ball backwards on the inbounds pass? I was laughing my ass off. That was the strangest thing I've ever seen.

wishing injury on a team is the basest, most childish thing a person can do. congratulations
We have plenty of them. Our guys just don't whine to the press and sit out a bunch of games because of them like most players do. At least 2 of our starters are pretty badly banged up right now. They just don't make excuses for themselves by blaming stuff on injuries.

Cousin of Detroit's Rasheed Wallace killed in gunfight with police
December 23, 2005
PHILADELPHIA (AP) -- A cousin of Detroit Pistons forward Rasheed Wallace was killed and a police officer was wounded in a shootout authorities said occurred after an undercover drug buy.
Tyree Wallace, 22, was pronounced dead at Albert Einstein Medical Center. Sgt. Mike Mitc , 41, was in stable condition Friday with a groin wound.
Pistons spokesman Matt Dobek confirmed that Tyree Wallace was Rasheed Wallace's first cousin. Dobek said it was unclear whether Wallace would play in Friday night's home game against the Golden State Warriors, but said he did not participate in the team's shootaround Friday morning.
On Thursday night, Mitc was in an unmarked police car when an undercover officer bought drugs from Tyree Wallace before identifying himself, Police Commissioner Sylvester Johnson said.
Mitc then saw Wallace pull a gun. The officer jumped out of his vehicle and ran toward Wallace, Johnson said.
"(Wallace) was fired on in response to him drawing a gun on police," Capt. Benjamin Naish said at a news conference Friday. It wasn't immediately known who fired the fatal shots. Several other officers were at the scene.
Tyree Wallace was enrolled as a student at suburban Arcadia University, where he had been on the basketball team but was not on the roster this year, university spokeswoman Lori Bauer said Friday.
Mayor John Street said he visited Mitc in the hospital and the officer was smiling and talking.
"It looks like he will be able to return to active duty," Street said.
thats pretty sad, your cousin is makin over 10 mil a year on the best team in the nba and you start a gun fight with the po po, thats sad.
I hope Manu plays too so the spurts, ooops, I meant Spurs, won't have any excuses.
uh the only excuses we have heard are from pissed-on fans who cannot accept the fact that the better team won last year...
Lindsey Hunter.
Now STFUAD, moron.
look piston fans injuries happen. they are part of the game. you choosing to play your starters alot of minutes inceases the odds of one of them getting hurt. the poster who mentioned they were due probably did not explain himself very well. the spurs are deep enough to rest guys throughout the season and can afford, for at least short term, an injury or two in the starting lineup and not miss a beat. oh by the way i am tired of hearing this crap ' i hope manu plys so there are no excuses' what happens if the spurs win without manu? what then? are you going to admit the pistons can not beat a healthy spurs team? no you would not so stop with bull about manu's injury because we can beat you with or without him.. i respect the heck out of the pistons but some of you posters do not reflect the class of that organization..
