    Detroit Pistons (& NBA) Playoff Thread

    Good, series wrapped up already after a dominating performance. So we will play the winner of the Cleveland-Washington series. Neither match up scares me, although you know if we face the Cavs all the hype will be on James…

    Thanks Hito and dallas27, hopefully the next televised game isn’t so bad. So the Mavs sweep the Grizzlies. I can’t believe how bad Memphis are in the Playoffs. They are 0-12 in their franchise history, what a joke. So Dallas will now face the Spurs who are locked in a huge battle against Sacramento. Even if the Spurs advance they will face a very well prepared and rested Dallas. Looking good.

    Detroit Pistons (& NBA) Playoff Thread

    Haha cheers mate! Yeh it’s just annoying how they’ve been setting all these records this season and jump out to a 2-0 lead and then play like that just as I get to watch. I think when it comes to the Conference Finals most, if not every game is televised, so I just need to stay patient. Enjoy the win Bucks because it's the last you’ll enjoy.

    Detroit Pistons (& NBA) Playoff Thread

    This is the most frustrating game I have ever seen. We set a franchise record for wins and the one game I see we get destroyed. Milwaukee hasn’t missed a shot! For crying out loud they hit ten consecutive shots in the third quarter, and Tony "Dud" Kukoc came off the bench and just exploded, that just sums up the game. And Michael Redd hit everything, while at the other end we couldn't hit a shot to save ourselves. The most uninspired game I have seen. I’m not the least bit worried about the outcome of the series but seriously, they better lift their game in Game 4.

    Yeh I don't think there will be any other result that the Pistons in 4. The Bucks just don't compare to the Pistons. In other series, the Spurs were very lucky to win Game 2; they managed to come through in OT. The Pacers won Game 3 today and have taken a 2-1 series lead. I am surprised by this; I assumed the Nets would advance. I still believe they will. And the best news is that Game 3 between the Pistons and Bucks will be televised live in Australia.

    That's awesome that you got to the first game of the Playoffs. Well the game was tight at half time but the Pistons were always in control. Rasheed played great, Ben grabbed 17 rebounds and McDyess was good off the bench. Unfortunately the game wasn't televised and I don’t think I’ll get to see much of this series. I have so much confidence in the Pistons, there’s no let downs, they come out hard every night.

    I believe the Bucks are the best opponent the Pistons could have hoped for. The Bulls are a rough and physical team who I think could have caused a few concerns. The Pacers I just hate and I couldn’t stand seeing Jermaine O’Neal, whereas the Bucks don’t present many problems at all. We should win in 4. And the great news for me is that in Australia they desperately try to show Andrew Bogut, so you know they’re going to do everything to televise this series. Excellent.

    The Detroit Pistons began the 2005/06 Regular Season today by defeating the 76ers. It was great to see the Pistons shoot 55% and collect 30 assists. Our bench was also quite productive, lets hope this continues throughout the season. Box Score Recap

    I checked the scores after the game had finished and I saw we lost by 20 points. I was disappointed but didn't care because I knew the bench would play. But after I saw the statistics I was extremely pleased. Delfino 18 points and 5 rebounds, showing he is superior to Evans. Amir Johnson, who could be a superstar, scored 18 points on 6-6 shooting, 2-2 threes, in 18 minnutes. And Jason Maxiell has 11 points and 12 rebounds. Some very impressive statistics there, especially from Johnson.

    "Saunders has said he would prefer to use an eight-man rotation in the playoffs. Thus, at this point, the three primary reserves would be Antonio McDyess, Delk and Hunter." Link

    I wonder if Jermaine still wants to face Detroit in the playoffs.

    Yeh it would be nice to actually see Cato receive some minutes, he might have made an impact last night. And when the playoffs begin, the coverage picks up in Australia. I will be able to see many more Pistons games so get ready to have some feedback on the Pistons play from myself!

    Fair enough, I'll go back in my box now... Yeh I've been complaining about the lack of bench play all season, and now they're finally getting some time so it’s good to see. All we need is for everyone to be healthy, and for Flip to improve his record in the playoffs.

    We lost to Darko's Magic.... Hamilton or no Hamilton still pretty pathetic. Another great game by Delk though.

    San Antonio lost to Sacramento today, which means the task for Detroit to clinch home court becomes a little easier. And what about Antonio McDyess yesterday, 26 points and 14 rebounds. And Tony Delk also scored 15 points. Delk has definately improved our bench.

    Lucky! Glad the Pistons got home in the end after giving them a huge lead. I noticed Sheed got another technical today, does that make 16? If so, who do you think we will we start in his place, Davis or McDyess?

    Jakub Kindl

    During the 2004/05 season, Kindl registered 14 points in 62 games. This season, Kindl has put up 11 points in only 13 games. He scored a goal and an assist today. The only concern is that he is -6 on the season. He has 36 PIM's which indicate that he is using his 6'3 frame well. Considering that he has not yet turned 20, I think we have a very good prospect on our hands. What are your thoughts regarding Kindl?

    Evan McGrath played 67 games last year and recorded 87 points. He's played 67 game this season and has 114 points. Fair improvement.
