Yeah was impressed with Rip and co. without Chauncey. I hope they can win the championship. They're my favorite team left lol.

 

:lol: I agree that they can make it there. What's sad is that I live IN Central Fl. and I don tlike the magic.

 

Well, I live an hour from Buffalo, and I hate the Bills. So I don't think that's sad at all.

The Pistons really came together yesterday, but they've got to have Billups healthy to beat the Celtics. Stuckey was way over his head yesterday, which surprised me given how well he played in the second half. The offense really bogged down until they just starting running Hamilton on isos constantly.

 

probably 5 pacific time..thats the way it has been

 

Tuesday, not Wednesday. And the time is 7 pm Eastern.

 

Stuckey was in foul trouble because he was getting beaten like a rented mule on defense, and had to commit fouls. Excusing his poor performance because of foul trouble puts the cart before the horse, IMHO. Thank God Lindsey Hunter was up to the task.

And I would not sit Billups in game five if he's healthy, or even a reasonable facsimile of healthy. The Pistons found a way to win game 4, and that's huge, but as much as anything, that was an example of Orlando snatching defeat from the jaws of victory. They didn't get the ball to Howard down low, they pissed away a 15 point lead, they missed big free throws, they allowed Detroit to control the pace, and they got out of what made them a very good team. Detroit was VERY fortunate to get out of there with a win, and I think the Magic will be plenty pissed off heading to The D for game 5. I do not expect them to roll over. As I said in another thread: having the best player in a series is usually good for a win. So far, we haven't had The Dwight Howard Game. Maybe we won't, but the best way to make sure we don't is to kill the Magic while they're hurt, and not give Howard a chance to put them on his back.

 

Here's to Cleveland pushing Boston to 7 games!! Seems like the sleeping beast from the East is starting to wake up!

 

I'm really starting to think that series will go 7 games....well hell, we KNOW it's going 6, so saying it'll go 7 isn't exactly a bold prediction. :)

Man, we need a healthy Chauncey, though. We can't count on the Celtics or Cavs to shoot themselves in the foot as much as the Magic did in this series.

 

That is exactly why I'm hoping that the Celts and Cavs beat the utter crap outta each other. If Bron Bron's Mom can get in the mix and help take KG down, then that would be excellent!

 

If the Cavs-Celtics series goes 7, game 1 of the ECF would probably start Tuesday night. If it goes 6, it will probably start Monday. So going 7 probably won't make that much of a difference.

Either way, Billups is looking at almost two weeks of rest. I think if last night was a game 7, he would have played. In any event, Saunders handled this correctly. Rodney Stuckey looked like **** in game 4, but he really played with confidence last night. That can't hurt going into the ECF.

 

They showed Chauncey going the whole floor last night in practice.Even he said it feels really good and he just has to start his left to right motion and he's ready.I'm really nervous about the next series,this is the hardest of them all,I think the championship series is easier for the Pistons. :)

GO PISTONS!!

 

for symbolism...I spit on my monitor with this thread open.




too bad some great posters on this site are actual Pissedon fans.

 

We love you too Section. :tongue2:

 

For symbolism, I print "Section126" on all my toilet paper.

 

Not me but I think it's funny.

What's wrong with being a Piston fan?? ;)

 

Chauncey's going to be fine. Link

 

:up::yahoo::hi5::woot::party::danceline:

 

Scenario 1: Cleveland wins. Screw the Pistons.

Scenario 2: Boston wins. Go Pistons!!

EDIT: I guess you'd call that conditional love.

 

Um...thanks?

 

Nice that the Cavs took Boston to a 7th game. Watching the game in a bit with a couple friends who are big Cavs fans.

 

I hope they beat the crap out of each other in a quadruple overtime game. :)

 

That's sis,not bro sweety! :wink2:

 

So it's the Pistons and the Celtics

GO PISTONS!!
