How fun is THAT seeing Mourning & Shaq together on the court- and losing
Just hoping Detroit stays healthy for the upcoming series with the Spurs.
and for the record - Q, I think the Spurs are gonna take Detroit this year.

No hugs yet, but the Pistons did whatever they wanted to last night. As long as they stay healthy, they'll keep winning. The Heat just don't match up. The one thing that surprised me was Eddie Jones' production. I think they'll do a better job of locking him down tomorrow.
I am more impressed with Carlos Arroyo every game. He had 7 assists in 10 minutes last night.
Great peformance last night by the stones. Correct me if I am wrong, but I believe they had 6 players scoring in double-digits...now thats solid basketball. I think Detroit has this series in the bag...they just have a lot more expiernce than Miami and that is gonna carry them in this series.

When the Pistons move the ball and defend like they did last night, nobody can beat them. It's too bad they don't seem to bring it every night like that. I have a feeling they won't have any trouble focusing over the rest of the series. They seem to thrive in big moments- especially on the road.
The Pistons looked like a high school team tonight, at best. When Shaq and Mourning can be said to play at a more mature level you know your in trouble.
Now it's likely Duncan and Ginobli will have to trounce them.

The frustrating part is that it was D. Jones and Haslem and Butler that were beating them. I feel like they'll come back and win Game 6, but for the 1st time, I don't know if they'll be able to win the series.
D Wade will be playing tonight. Whether this hurts or helps them I don't know.
The Pistons always seem flat the next game after a big win so I hope they reverse that trend.
A Detroit-SA series would be more fun to watch.
...and is Q waiting for a Spurs thread to get involved?? [img]tongue.gif[/img]

Without D. Wade, the Heat couldn't even make passes to one another. Now that he's playing this kind of brings some life to the team and fans (since they're home) but is he going to be effective?

do either of these teams have a chance against the spurs?
I doubt the Spurs make it if Joe Johnson is healthy.

I was raised in the Detroit suburbs so I have been going to Pistons game ever since I was a yougin. I was actually at Joe Dumars' last game and remember seeing Bill Lambeer play some. So I am not jumping on the championship bandwagon...I have been a fan for life. It's just easier to root for a team when they are doing well....hehe. I moved to Chicago for school and root for the Cubs, but I really never like the Tigers too much anyways.
not a Tigers fan??
man, i've got baseball america up on my computer right now getting ready to see who they take in the draft today...AND I've already read the freep online as well as detnews!
haha

Speaking of Laimbeer, I was at the game that they retired his jersey. Good stuff!
I miss George Blahah(sp?) and Bill Laimbeer calling games for the pistons. Blahah was great and Laimbeer really told it how it is. I heard he's a bit of a jackass in person, but I always liked him as a player...bad boy image and all.
