That would be a huge loss, the Pistons need every one on the team to win. He seem to control the paste of the game... and he is BIG SHOT BILLUPS

That would be awesome if he is lost. Of all playoff teams I hate to watch, its the pistons because they seem to approach the game to play just hard enough on defense to win. And if needed billups steps it up offensively in the fourth. They are a bunch of very talented experienced savvy lazy fvcks that can siphon any enjoyment out of watching a playoff series before it even starts, and nothing better than to see their engine be lost for the series.

I am really surprised to see so many Pistons haters.

The Celtics CANNOT and WILL NOT BE DENIED!

Can't say I hate the pistons, just would rather watch any other team at any level in any sport than them. The rest of the country pretty much agrees iirc...didn't they have record low television ratings last time they were in the finals?

The Pistons title clinching game was the highest rated in years at the time.

Just because the masses watch something doesn't make it good.

'The last time they were in the finals' was 2005, altho I wasn't accurate - the ratings weren't all that horrible. Like watching paint dry, but apparently quite a few like to watch paint dry. Anyhow they got to go - they play like a bunch of lazy @sses until they need to.

Done

Celtics are sure stepping up against the Cavs. Magic played well last game as well. Lets see if the jazz can pull it back in their series.

Man Kobe is the next MJ. If they win this year, he will seriously be considered to be close to MJ level. They should trade for AI cause then the team would be perfect.

Remember that it was Pistons v Spurs, two defensively minded teams that aren't one of the big basketball or big metropolitan cities (NY, LA, Boston, etc). NBA ratings have dropped over the past few years though. NFL is killing it in the ratings.

No I was not aware. I can see that because there are no superstars on the team. To me, they are one of the few team that play basketball as a team sport. It's hard to critic your ow team I guess, I am a fan ... not going to lie.

The radio here in Michigan were saying that the Magics were going after him....bull crap he slipped and hurt himself. I hate how the media makes everything dramatic and people listen like a bunch of no brain monkeys.

 

[SP33Demon]

Celtics in the poll. 4-2 Over the LA LAKERS is my prediction.

 

[Ricochet]

Although Hornets lost last night at least CP3 put up huge numbers and make the game worth watching. I really hope they put the Spurs away and not let it go to game 7.

From the replay it didn't look like a simple slip. His foot got snagged by one of the Magics player, but there was no ill intent. It's just an unfortunate incident.

Good luck, hopefully the babies will go home packing for a fishing trip after game 6 in San Antonio.

Uhm, no ... obviously you didn't see Paul and West last night.

Cavs = done, good luck Celts.

LBJ needs one more star player on his wing to get this team to a championship level. Hopefully they can swing that before his contract expires in 2010, otherwise I fear he will be heading to green$r pastures.

 

[BZeto]

Anyone else a little underwhelmed at the coach's pep talk recordings when ESPN/TNT do their 'wired' segments? Honestly I was expecting a little more when they're talking to players at this level, they sound more like high school coaches. That's my random weak rant for the day.

 

[DanTMWTMP]

goddamn it..ah well, the jazz played a heck of a game. I hope lakers can do a better job in game 4 to avoid the series being even.

I'm not too worried. Lakers should be able to hold home court even if this goes to 7.

It wasn't a convinced win by the Jazz, I felt like the Lakers could have easily won still. Any thoughts on this?

Felt the same. Lakers had a bad night, the Jazz did great, and still only got by with a close victory.
