Title: GO PISTONS!! Post by: den68 on June 12, 2004, 06:32:23 PM Detroit is up 2 games to 1(should be 3-0, FU Kobe) over the Lakers. Damn I hope they can pull it off. I remember the NBA championships they won in 89 and 90 over the Lakers and Trailblazers. It was a beautiful thing.
Title: Re: GO PISTONS!! Post by: shadytool on June 12, 2004, 10:26:52 PM i'm with you den, GO PISTONS! and fuck kobe
Title: Re: GO PISTONS!! Post by: NESJunkie on June 13, 2004, 10:06:29 AM Yea when Kobe gets to jail, give him the old anal probe!!!
GO PISTONS! Title: Re: GO PISTONS!! Post by: Lord Nepenthean on June 14, 2004, 03:35:37 AM I guess I'm the only one here who couldn't care less about the NBA in general. It just seems like the trashiest professional sport we have here in the U.S. of A. I don't like it one bit.... but then I'm not a big basketball fan in the first place.

Title: Re: GO PISTONS!! Post by: Sauza12 on June 14, 2004, 09:12:04 AM They are up 3-1 now. If the Pistons win on Tuesday, I'm gonna go down to Auburn Hills to be part of the party. I'll probably bring a couple of cameras too. The way we celebrate championships in Detroit is unreal (and no, it doesn't involve rioting).
Title: Re: GO PISTONS!! Post by: den68 on June 15, 2004, 01:56:08 PM I'm ready for a good Detroit party. I hope they finish off the Lakers tonight.
Title: Re: GO PISTONS!! Post by: Tynstar on May 23, 2005, 11:50:14 AM bump!
Go Pistons again this year!!!!! Title: Re: GO PISTONS!! Post by: den68 on May 23, 2005, 12:59:47 PM yup game one of Pistons vs Heat tonight. Should be a good series. We'll see if what they can do with Shaq. Last year they let him have his game and shut everyone else down.
I'll admit I'm a homer but I'll take Detroit. I think Miami is where the Pistons were a couple years ago, at the beginning stages of building a strong nucleus. Title: Re: GO PISTONS!! Post by: Tynstar on May 23, 2005, 08:18:12 PM YEA!!!! 1 down 3 more to go.
Title: Re: GO PISTONS!! Post by: den68 on May 24, 2005, 04:36:46 AM what a finish. the Heat ties the game at 80 then the Pistons go on a 10-1 run to finish the game with a 90-81 win.
even big ole Elden Campbell got in an did a job on Shaq for a bit. Title: Re: GO PISTONS!! Post by: Sauza12 on May 24, 2005, 07:18:41 AM Ilove the fact that the only reason the Pistons have Elden Campbell is so they can have someone else to foul Shaq. Talk about being a role player.
Title: Re: GO PISTONS!! Post by: Tynstar on May 24, 2005, 07:27:28 AM Quote Talk about being a role player. Thats what it takes to win! Long live the hack a Shaq! Title: Re: GO PISTONS!! Post by: den68 on May 24, 2005, 08:22:44 AM that was a topic of discussion on the radio after the game. roles was given as a reason why the Pistons have an advantage in this series. each Piston player has a clearly defined role, everyone knows who is supposed to do what and when.
I'm sure the Heat have roles too but the Pistons have the advantage of deep playoff runs over the past few years with basically the same unit. Last year they were able to insert Rasheed Wallace into a certain role. This year it was Antonio McDyess and Carlos Arroyo. Joe Dumars is looking like a friggin' genius. Title: Re: GO PISTONS!! Post by: Sauza12 on May 25, 2005, 07:22:08 AM Sometimes I really wonder how many of Joe's moves are well thought out actions of a genius, and how many of them are just plain dumb luck. There is no way he could have predicted how good of a move trading Grant Hill to Orlando was.
Title: Re: GO PISTONS!! Post by: den68 on May 25, 2005, 07:56:35 AM yeah. who did we get in that deal again?? oh that's right.... BEN WALLACE!!!!
who knew? that guy was an unknown at the time. the Rasheed deal really raised some eyebrows too but he's been terrific. hell Rip was a no name before he came here, Chauncy was a journeyman and I don't recall any Lebron JAmes, Carmelo Anthony type fanfare for Tayshaun Prince. that whole starting 5 is pure Joe genius. Title: Re: GO PISTONS!! Post by: Tynstar on May 25, 2005, 08:04:12 AM From last year! I had this pic as my MSN picture when I talked to Rick. He hated it being a Laker fan and all.
Title: Re: GO PISTONS!! Post by: den68 on May 25, 2005, 08:25:29 AM cool. they are a hell of a team.
Title: Re: GO PISTONS!! Post by: den68 on May 26, 2005, 04:54:08 AM well the Heat grabbed game 2. Wade went off for 40. Next 2 are in Detroit. GO PISTONS!
Title: Re: GO PISTONS!! Post by: phoenix1967 on May 26, 2005, 06:42:51 AM Quote well the Heat grabbed game 2. Wade went off for 40. Next 2 are in Detroit. GO PISTONS! Can you believe that we drafted Darko ahead of Wade! What was Joe thinking? Title: Re: GO PISTONS!! Post by: Sauza12 on May 26, 2005, 08:10:35 AM Darko is a God. Just you wait.....
...until 2016 Title: Re: GO PISTONS!! Post by: phoenix1967 on May 26, 2005, 10:37:32 AM Quote Darko is a God.  Just you wait..... ...until 2016 What a waste! Title: Re: GO PISTONS!! Post by: den68 on June 01, 2005, 12:03:20 PM they split the home games. series is now tied 2-2. it seems they may have found something last night putting Lindsay Hunter on Wade. game 5 will be huge.
Title: Re: GO PISTONS!! Post by: Tynstar on June 01, 2005, 01:54:33 PM Was it Hunter and Hamilton? I missed the game. I had family in that I had not seen in years.
Title: Re: GO PISTONS!! Post by: den68 on June 02, 2005, 05:12:47 AM it was Lindsay. Rip has guarded Wade in the series but when Lindsay is out there he's out there exclusively to pester Wade.
Title: Re: GO PISTONS!! Post by: Sauza12 on June 02, 2005, 07:04:11 AM They have to win this game. Miami is not a team that I want to face with a 3-2 series deficit. Too bad about Phoenix. I really would have liked to see them in the finals.
Title: Re: GO PISTONS!! Post by: Tynstar on June 02, 2005, 05:57:09 PM Pistons are looking like shit. Safe to say if it is the Heat and Spurs i will not be watchingthe finals. :zzz:
Title: Re: GO PISTONS!! Post by: den68 on June 03, 2005, 05:29:48 AM blech. they sucked ass last night.
Title: Re: GO PISTONS!! Post by: phoenix1967 on June 03, 2005, 04:36:05 PM I think the Pistons are done. They're whining way too much to be focused on winning. Even if by some miracle they get by Miami, San Antonio is poised to lay down a serious beating and I think they'd beat us in 6.
Title: Re: GO PISTONS!! Post by: Tynstar on June 03, 2005, 05:10:42 PM What the hell happened to the Pistons? It is all Cleveland's fault!!!!
Title: Re: GO PISTONS!! Post by: den68 on June 03, 2005, 06:55:27 PM none of the players will admit it but I think the whole Larry Brown/Cleveland thing IS a distraction and has something to do with their uncharacteristic undiciplined play.
If he has been working on a deal with the Cavs on the side how well can he be preparing for these playoff games. We should have expected it the guys MO has been that he's a nomad. Even if we get bounced this year it was worth it, we did get a championship out of Larry Brown. Title: Re: GO PISTONS!! Post by: Tynstar on June 03, 2005, 09:11:11 PM if he has been working on a side deal I think a lot less of him. isnt that against the rules of the NBA?
Title: Re: GO PISTONS!! Post by: den68 on June 04, 2005, 03:53:36 AM I wouldn't think you'd be allowed to be negotiating with another team while your current team's season is still ongoing.
do or die tonight. GO PISTONS! Title: Re: GO PISTONS!! Post by: Tynstar on June 04, 2005, 08:25:23 PM OK Wade was not in the game but damn!
Title: Re: GO PISTONS!! Post by: den68 on June 05, 2005, 04:56:21 AM there will be a game 7. a 91-66 blowout! has there been a close game in this series.
both teams have been so inconsistent I don't know if either has a chance against San Antonio. Title: Re: GO PISTONS!! Post by: Sauza12 on June 06, 2005, 07:29:57 AM I'm not ready for the basketball season to be over yet, so the Pistons have got to win tonight. Besides I didn't celebrate properly last year and I want another shot at it.
Title: Re: GO PISTONS!! Post by: den68 on June 06, 2005, 08:11:32 AM I hope they win. I can't watch it though. I get too wound up. I'll watch something else then flip to the game to check the score.
Title: Re: GO PISTONS!! Post by: phoenix1967 on June 06, 2005, 08:06:39 PM Wow! Call me surprised, but I didn't think that they had it in them to pull out a game 7 win in Miami! I guess they're the first eastern conference team to win a game 7 on the road since 1982! Our game 7 is an instant ESPN Classic game, imo.
I just hope that Detroit vs. San Antonio is going to be as good a series. Title: Re: GO PISTONS!! Post by: Tynstar on June 06, 2005, 09:31:52 PM I am amazed as well!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!1
Title: Re: GO PISTONS!! Post by: den68 on June 07, 2005, 04:47:52 AM bring on the Spurs!
Title: Re: GO PISTONS!! Post by: Sauza12 on June 07, 2005, 06:44:11 AM :ctf:
Yeah Pistons! Title: Re: GO PISTONS!! Post by: den68 on June 09, 2005, 09:53:25 AM NBA Finals start tonight!
so again... GO PISTONS!!! Title: Re: GO PISTONS!! Post by: Tynstar on June 09, 2005, 10:28:28 AM GO PISTONS!!! GO PISTONS!!! GO PISTONS!!! GO PISTONS!!! GO PISTONS!!! GO PISTONS!!! GO PISTONS!!!

Title: Re: GO PISTONS!! Post by: Sauza12 on June 10, 2005, 07:01:56 AM >:( :fight: :argue: >:- :pissed: :cussing:
Stupid fucking Pistons. Couldn't keep from getting thier asses handed to them. Title: Re: GO PISTONS!! Post by: Tynstar on June 10, 2005, 07:18:08 AM It is only game one.
Title: Re: GO PISTONS!! Post by: den68 on June 10, 2005, 12:07:12 PM yeah, one game. the Spurs gotta beat us 3 more times. Everybody was writing us off against Miami and we all know how that turned out. they'll bounce back.
GO PISTONS! Title: Re: GO PISTONS!! Post by: Sauza12 on June 13, 2005, 07:04:59 AM And now with game 2 in the books, I am officially pissed. The Pistons looked horrible yesterday. They couldn't hit any shots, and if I see them allow one more open 3, there's going to be some sort of a problem. How many times can the Spurs pull the same play and Detroit gets fooled. They have Parker or Ginobli penetrate to the rim so 2-3 defensive players swarm him. He kicks the ball out to some one in the corner and draws more defense in that direction, and he then kicks it out to the top were some one is waiting for an open three. I could only stand to watch half of the game and I saw it happen at least 8 times. >:(
Title: Re: GO PISTONS!! Post by: Tynstar on June 13, 2005, 07:33:50 AM Start playing Taps
Title: Re: GO PISTONS!! Post by: phoenix1967 on June 13, 2005, 02:13:59 PM Not looking good.
Title: Re: GO PISTONS!! Post by: den68 on June 14, 2005, 12:01:27 PM If they don't come out with a better effort tonight they are done. I'm not ready to give up yet but it's damn close to the point where a comeback is impossible.
Title: Re: GO PISTONS!! Post by: phoenix1967 on June 14, 2005, 02:57:08 PM I heard on the radio that the last time any NBA team came back to win from being down 0-2 in the finals it was Portland in '77.
Title: Re: GO PISTONS!! Post by: Tynstar on June 14, 2005, 04:55:59 PM Quote I heard on the radio that the last time any NBA team came back to win from being down 0-2 in the finals it was Portland in '77. Yep. I heard the same thing. Title: Re: GO PISTONS!! Post by: Tynstar on June 14, 2005, 07:56:15 PM Much much much better!!!!!!!!!! Could this be a series?
The whole reason I watch basketball again is Ben Wallace. He is a MONSTER!!!! Title: Re: GO PISTONS!! Post by: den68 on June 15, 2005, 04:33:02 AM oh yeah. now that is more like it. I was hoping they could claw out a win, I did not expect a 17 point win. but I ain't complaining.
Title: Re: GO PISTONS!! Post by: Sauza12 on June 15, 2005, 08:18:37 AM Oh God I hope that they can win all three at home. If Ben, Rip, and Chauncey all have games like they did yesterday we can win this series. It was also nice to see Tayshaun handle his shit defensivley for once.
Title: Re: GO PISTONS!! Post by: den68 on June 16, 2005, 11:06:49 AM I'm going to miss most of tonights game. I have a double header to play, start times: 8:50 and 10:00. DAMN! time to pray for rain.

Post by: Tynstar on June 16, 2005, 08:01:03 PM Holy shit that was an ass kicking!!!!!!!
Oh the tides are turning!!!!!!! Title: Re: GO PISTONS!! Post by: phoenix1967 on June 16, 2005, 08:12:57 PM And they set an NBA Finals record with only 4 turnovers in the game!
Title: Re: GO PISTONS!! Post by: den68 on June 17, 2005, 04:47:04 AM Quote Softball? Over the Pistons in the NBA Finals? Where are your priorities?  :o we had a TV on the bench. I went 5 for 8 which was cool but we split the double header. now back to Piston talk. holy crap was that a beatdown! best of 3 series now baby. GO PISTONS! Title: Re: GO PISTONS!! Post by: Sauza12 on June 17, 2005, 07:31:06 AM I guess they recieved that video of me sobbing uncontrollably while watching game 2 and didn't want to disappoint me anymore. What a beating.
Title: Re: GO PISTONS!! Post by: den68 on June 17, 2005, 11:03:41 AM that would do it.
Title: Re: GO PISTONS!! Post by: Sauza12 on June 17, 2005, 11:34:26 AM :laugh: :laugh: :laugh: :laugh:
That actually made me burst into laughter in my cube at work. Title: Re: GO PISTONS!! Post by: Tynstar on June 17, 2005, 11:37:16 AM :laugh: :laugh: :laugh: :laugh:
Thanks Den that is great work!!!! Title: Re: GO PISTONS!! Post by: den68 on June 17, 2005, 11:59:38 AM heh, thanks. if you like that check out what I did to Nep in the Birthday Blowout contest.
Title: Re: GO PISTONS!! Post by: Tynstar on June 19, 2005, 08:28:58 PM Damn that sucks. My guess is the series is over. I dont think Detroit can win both away games. I hope it goes to game 7 at least.
Title: Re: GO PISTONS!! Post by: den68 on June 20, 2005, 05:41:11 AM stupid Robert Horry.
Title: Re: GO PISTONS!! Post by: Tynstar on June 20, 2005, 06:03:00 AM Quote stupid Robert Horry. yeah Title: Re: GO PISTONS!! Post by: den68 on June 20, 2005, 07:22:41 AM it's going to be tough to win 2 in San Antonio. if they can manage game 6 anything can happen. I hope they can pull it out.
Title: Re: GO PISTONS!! Post by: Sauza12 on June 20, 2005, 07:53:21 AM I'm too tired to make a rational and well thought out analasys of what happened last night so I'll just say damn that sucked. I think I stroked out last night.
Title: Re: GO PISTONS!! Post by: Tynstar on June 21, 2005, 07:50:51 PM Should be a fun game!
Game 7 anything can happen. But still damn. Title: Re: GO PISTONS!! Post by: den68 on June 22, 2005, 04:36:01 AM they really gutted it out last night. they seem to play best when their backs are against the wall. game 7 should be a doozy.
GO PISTONS! Title: Re: GO PISTONS!! Post by: phoenix1967 on June 22, 2005, 08:38:16 AM Game 7 is certainly a tough one to call. Especially since the road team hasn't won a game 7 in the finals since the Washington Bullets in 1978.
It's certainly going to be fun to watch, though. Title: Re: GO PISTONS!! Post by: den68 on June 24, 2005, 04:29:28 AM damn...
hell of a season though guys. and I expect them to be a contender for a while yet. Title: Re: GO PISTONS!! Post by: Sauza12 on June 24, 2005, 06:38:11 AM Damn, that was rough. I can't wait to see what Joe does to improve the team over the off season.
On the bright side, it sounds liek Larry Brown will be back next year. One less thing we have to look for. Title: Re: GO PISTONS!! Post by: Tynstar on June 24, 2005, 07:16:28 AM i stopped watching the game with liek 7 minutes left. I knew it was over then.
