Detroit Pistons (& NBA) Playoff Thread
mannysBETTER3434 replied to Aussie_Wing's topic in Other Sports
Well they did it. I thought overall they played good. We made some dumb mistakes here and there, but we got the job done. Ben brought some big time energy, and Prince played great. If we can squek out a win somehow in Miami we will win this series. -

Well since it all seems like that we all agree the Pistons are done. What changes do you think Joe D has to make? Coaching: I like Flip, but I have not been impressed with him in the postseason. He won't get fired, unless LB comes back (which probally won't happen either) I think Flip has to change his coaching a little bit. When you think of Pistons you think of D, he must change back to a defensive team. Bench: Everyone on TV rips the bench, but I don't think its that bad. Evans does alot of dirty work, and Delk is solid. Dice gives it his all every night. I think Delfino can be a good player..I just don't think he likes being on the team. This also could be the last time Hunter plays, so finding a PG is huge. Do we go with Amir or do we draft one? Possibly Jordan Farmar. I think Maxile will get more PT next year too. Starters: Best starting five in the NBA (when they feel like it) Do you think it's possible to trade one these guys(I don't think so, but I guess you never know) I read on a blog the only guys that are safe on Detroit are Billups, Prince, and Rip. Is Ben Wallace worth 12 million a year? Don't get me wrong I love Ben, but 12 million for 20% FT shooting and no offensive ability is not worth it. Do we aquire a superstar? KG still wants out of Minny. Maybe Sheed and picks for KG? Thoughts?? Quick Question...... Do we get the Magic's 11# pick this draft? Or is that next year? I thought we got Orlando's pick this year as long as it wasn't a top 5 pick. -

It's pissing me off. Somthing is missing from this team, and it weakens me to watch them play when I know they can play 10X better. I don't know if it's their attitude or coaching or what. I hate seeing this happen Don't get me wrong here..Wade is one heck of a player, but I think he is getting away with to much. He travels every time hes drives the lane, and exagerates everything time he gets fouled. Plus I don't understand how Dice can get called for a foul when Wade leaps into him while he is set...I guess just because it's Wade. -

The Pistons' attitude is really making me mad. They just assume they will squek one out when their backs are against the walls. Next game is a must win. -

Prince is playing great right now. He keeps getting better and better in the playoffs (Wings could use someone like that) But I'm really sick of how much crap Shaq gets away with while he is camping under the hoop -

I hope to see Evens/Delk play more tonight -

That game was a joke! We had the chance to take the game over when Wade/Shaq are out and we do absolutley nothing...in fact we got farther behind. What happend to this great offense? Since game 2 of the Cavs series it has vanished! And thats a problem when we play average D..like tonight. I would like to see us use the bench a little more. I think Delk/Evans are very capable of having huge games for us. Sheed is the X factor on this team. When he plays well we always win. When he doesn't we lose. Tonight is a perfect example of this. -

This is going to be a stressful series...... Wade will get "injured" every game, but shoot lights out and no one will shut up about it. -

Cavs are done, there is no way they can win twice in Detroit....especially game 7 Cavs are done, there is no way they can win twice in Detroit....especially game 7 -
Lebron will be bigger then Stevie Y when its all said and done..... Don't take it personal I know all OSU fans are not like that...I've been to enoguh OSU hockey games, and been on campus enough to know that.

I've heard the PA announcer fan too. But what do you expect? Cleavland is a bunch of dumb buckeyes who are jumping on the bandwagon. These are the same fans who booed Lebron earlier this year...thats like booing Stevie Y

That may be true, but its still not saying much........ And I know we all love Ben to death here, but if he can't hit his free throws I think when we get to the 4th quarter we should sit him, and put in Sheed/McDyess. If Ben gets benched I guarensheed Ben's FT % will get higher pretty fast. (but then again I guess guarensheeds don't mean much anymore) If Ben shots 25% from the line (which is pretty close to his playoff %), we would have probaly won the game BTW...Does JohnoG post anymore? -
I must admit it is pretty sad to see less then 4,000 Griffins fans at Van Andel last night for a PLAYOFF game. There are enough people and hockey nuts in West Michigan to fill that place up every night. So if there are any Griffins fans out there that can make it please come tonight! The Griffins need us!!

I'm starting to get very worried. I really want to know where the REAL Pistons went. Every single player on the team except Dice has played horrilbe. Where is Rip? Or Chauncey? Sheed- Let your play do the talking, and don't even get me started on Prince, who is by far the most inconsistant (not to mention overated) player on the team. -
I can't wait. I got hooked on soccer a few months ago after I was in Mexico for a few weeks. Ronaldinho is fun to watch
-
Thats true, but <4000 is still sad IMO. I don't expect it to be sold out, but I think GR can put at least 6000 in there on average.

Hey Chamber...I love the avator....I'm a huge U-M fan but I have to admit I'm really starting to like Ryan Miller
-
Good riddance Joey!!!

Looks like Hakim may be rejoining Lions. This makes things interesting because we will be stacked at WR. WilliamsX2, Rogers, Vines, Drummond, Bradford, and possibly Calhoun playing the slot. Even though Marenelli hasn't said anything I don't think he is happy with M. Willaims or Rogers.

I think Maxiell really deserves to be activated rather then Cato. Cato is lazy and worthless...thankfully we won't need him (expect maybe for Shaq...If they even beat NJ) -

What a game! Huge games from everyone especially Prince/Hunter/McDyess. Even Cato was cash tonight! I said Pistons in 5, but if we keep playing like this it will be a sweep. -
Drew has really impressed me with his attitude this year. He has been all over the place, whether it's in GR or Toledo. No matter where he goes though he has played great when given the chance

What a bunch of little girls. Probally M. Williams or Rogers couldn't handle it, and reported it..... But so far you have to love Marenelli! What a bunch of little girls. Probally M. Williams or Rogers couldn't handle it, and reported it..... But so far you have to love Marenelli!

I CANNOT BELIEVE the Lions passed on the golden boy.

Too bad about Vick, he's trying out for Miami -

Are you suprised? The Lions don't want to draft a proven winner, who many believe is better then Carson Palmer at this time. The Lions would rather draft a thug or has a major attiitude problem (Rogers/Williams/and now Sims) If you look back I have said over and over again I don't want to spend 3 years with a young QB again, but I would have never thought Leinart would be around. This is a big mistake
