betterREDthandead 58 Report post Posted January 28, 2006 Billups, surely got to be MVP? Another brilliant performance today, 34 points on 9-13 shooting, and 5-5 3PT. I saw a few highlights of his threes, and wow they were impressive. I cannot belive how good this team is. And we haven't even seen Hunter yet, he'll impove our bench. Chauncey can make a strong case for MVP just by pointing to the win column. But I honestly have to give it to Kobe right now....the Lakers wouldn't have 15 wins without him, the rest of that team is garbage. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

Nothing less than an NBA tragedy if that selfish jerk wins the MVP or anything else. Sorry, not a fan - he's just about reason enough NOT to watch the NBA.

betterREDthandead 58 Report post Posted January 30, 2006 Anyone else watching the Pistons and Lakers on ESPN? I'd criticize the way these guys are calling the game....if they were actually calling the game Seems to me ESPN decided to have a basketball talk show in which various issues facing the Lakers are discussed at length, and the perfect setting was the Palace during a basketball game. They've been talking about Kwame Brown for five full possessions and totally ignoring the action on the court. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

dallas27 7 Report post Posted February 1, 2006 Rasheed and Darko for kkkkkgggggg, the Chicago Tribune reported the later the season moves on the more he'll want to be on a contending team for the Championship Sheed did play like sh*t though, he's gotten into a habit of just taking threes. He has to solidify his presence in the paint before he can jack up threes. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

Dale McWallace 0 Report post Posted February 1, 2006 One of the few times this season Sheed got too 3 happy. Chauncey did his best to keep us in it, but when Tayshaun, Rip, AND Sheed are no-shows, combined with the fact that we should/could have gone deep into the bench but didn't... we lost. No big deal, I can tolerate a loss for every ten wins. Tonight against KG and the lowly T-Wolves, maybe we can get Tay and Sheed to post up once in a blue moon.

BlueMonk 102 Report post Posted February 2, 2006 Pistons really flipped the switch tonight when Jerome Bettis and all the celebrities showed up at the game. Ben Wallace managed to be a huge force without scoring a single point.

Aussie_Wing 354 Report post Posted February 3, 2006 Ever think the reason they played bad is because you got to watch them? Ohhh well perhaps that is the reason Well there are serious doubts whether Iverson will be able to play, and if that's the case this match could be very interesting. Without Iverson they will share the ball around more, and get many involved in the offence. This should be a walk in the park, but I think it will be closer than many believe. All I really want to see is Delfino! Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
Aussie_Wing 354 Report post Posted February 4, 2006 Well maybe I’m being a little too harsh, but I honestly thought the Pistons played extremely ordinary yesterday. They didn’t seem to have any real passion out there, almost as though they were going through the motions the entire game. That’s only the second game I’ve seen all year, and on both occasions they have played average. Beating the 76ers without Iverson by 7 points is quite ordinary. Anyone else see the game and care to explain what they thought? The first quarter was great, they got out to a 13 point lead and I was very impressed. They shot about 60% in the first quarter, and Rasheed was 5-6 from the field. However as the game went on, the worse Detroit shot and the better Philly seemed to perform. Detroit just did enough to win… Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

dallas27 7 Report post Posted February 4, 2006 Yep, going through the motions. Why give 110% when all they need to put out is 70% to get the win. I really wish they would have destroyed Philly though so you could have seen the beast called the Detroit Pistons, Aussie. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
