Pistons, no doubt.
Who you got?
Pistons, no doubt.
duh!
Pacers by 3rd round TKO, oh wait, that was last year.
Pistons in a close game
@ Detroit? Gotta pick the P-p-p-p-p-p-pistons.
I love it when everyone counts us out....all thats missing now is some MILLER MAGIC!!!
I don't think anybody has a chance of winning at the Palace until March 28th when they play the Mavs. The Pacers? Don't make me laugh. Oh yes, and this has been in the media lately, so Romsey, tell me, do you agree with J O'Neal that the Pacers match up well with the Pistons?
I dont even think this is even worth talking about..
the pacers of course!!!
Pacers has beat the Pistons the most out of any other team in the nba during the reg season in the last 3 yrs....6 times. So you answer your question. Do YOU think they match up well....keep laughing who laugh last laugh best.
Well, to be fair.. the Pacers could be the only team to beat the Pistons twice this season if you don't count the Jazz.
Won't happen, but they could.
I could win the lotto too, so you never know.
I'd rather lose 3 to the Spurs than 2 to the Pacers. I hate those freaking babies.
And the playoffs? I give you guys alot of credit, you fight hard and you play hard. I just don't think this is your year.
I'd take the Pacers + the points.
Wouldn't be surprised. What is it, a 9 point spread?
I'd say the Pistons...I think the only reason Detroit would have a tough time would be if Artest was still on the team. And he's gone.
With you there. And Stojakovic? He hasn't figured the Pistons out yet. He's had mediocre games all three times he's faced them so far this year.
Pistons, big.
Two Words for Detroit.
Peja Stoyonkavitch *spelling?
Sheed can be so damn good when he has it going. AMAZING!
Ball game. Not near as close as the final score.
NO bashing or anything, but why does Flip continue to leave his starters out on the court in the 4th when the team is up by 18 or more? I've been trying to understand the logic of this and the only things I have come up with is that:
A) He's trying to keep the momentum going.
B) He likes to run up the score.
C) Doesn't trust the bench.
This is the wrong time for an injury or anything like that. But Dunc since you follow the Pistons has there been anything said about this?
Its definately C. You'll notice that the Pistons had a big lead, subs come in, and magically the final score is only a 5 point win.
No bashing taken. I gotta say, it drives me crazy that he leaves starters in like that. He has said that he likes to use that time to run some different things, so I gotta just assume he knows what he's doing, ya know? But then, that's what practice is for, and if Ben or Chauncey got hurt in a blowout win, Flip would have to go into hiding because we'd ing kill him, lol. I kinda feel that he doesn't trust the bench, though. It's the only legit reason I can think of. Usually in the heat of a game, the bench is good and more than a couple times have given a spark that the boys used to take a game over early. But late, they can't hold a lead, as you saw when the Pacers scored like 10 straight points in the last minute against the starters and bench as well. (18-3 to end the game *shudder*) The bench gave the starters some good rest, though, compared to some games recently (Tay with 38 min, Sheed with 35, Ben with 28, Rip with 35 and CB with 36, which is still alot, but nobody broke 40 in a game that could have gone either way until the run in the 4th, so it's not that bad, really). Anyway, that's my take.
I guess but my point is I watched the game and the starters get real complacent when they are up and after watching the last 5 1/2 of the game I would have put McDyess and Hunter in to bring some of the energy back, but I guess thats why Flip gets paid for this and I don't.Its definately C. You'll notice that the Pistons had a big lead, subs come in, and magically the final score is only a 5 point win.
It's because the bench is so young
PG- Acker (22)
SG- Evans (27)
SF- Delfino (23)
PF- Maxiell (just turned 23)
C- Dice (31)
It used to be Darko (20) at center, so it was even worse. But we've got very young guys on the perimeter handling the ball, which, as you saw tonight, can lead to turnovers and easy buckets too quickly. Acker was playing in his 2nd NBA game today, and Lindsey can't really play the point without a main option (like Rip or Sheed) on the floor next to him, because he can't create or handle the ball very well.
BTW, I wasn't too upset tonight. It was a 20 point game at the 6-ish minute mark. Then they starters got kind of lazy and let it back to 13 by about the 4 minutes mark. That's a bit too close for comfort. Plus he played Delfino for most of the 4th quarter.
