Whats going on with the Pistons? They owned the Heat this year in the regular season, but are spotting the Heat a 3-1 lead.


Are they just toying with the Heat and set to win 3 straight and crush that greaseball Pat Riley? I hope so.

After all the Bulls nearly beat the Heat, the Pistons should have no problem.

Flip is a terrible playoff coach.

I don't understand why the pistons don't try to get Shaq in foul trouble early on by going right at him. Then they could focus more on Wade. Anyway the regular season record between two teams means nothing. In the regualr season we owned Detroit, Detroit owned Miami, and Miami owned us. By the way why do you hate Riley so much?

first of all the bulls didnt come close at all, secondly coaching has very little to do with winning, thirdly how could anyone root against shaq and even worse root for the pistons.

serious.. flip saunders has been know for not making adjustments in the playoffs or making them too late... the thing bout the pistons is that they dont focus on defense any more- (wallace in a interview said that they don't do enough of it in practice).. plus last year wade and shaq were very injuired, while this year they are healthy and have a much better supporting cast. the heat are the better team and will close it out in 5.. the pistons have no interior game and shaq can really pick up only offensive fouls.

:laugh: I guess you're right if you consider losing in six games almost winning.

Walton's trademark catchphrases include "That's a terrible call!", "What is a foul?", "He couldn't even inbound the ball!" and "Throw it down, big man!" Another catchphase of Walton's is "Nice Pass!" on a good pass to a man for an open shot.

Critics cite that Walton maintains a bias against certain NBA teams. Detroit Pistons fans regularly complain that Bill Walton is often to harsh in judging their team because of their lack of a superstar. Walton's most favored team is the Los Angeles Lakers, perhaps not coincidentally also the team his son Luke plays for.

Detroit's lack of depth is really hurting them. It didn't matter too much in the regular season because the Starting 5 could smoke 90% of the league and then rest in the 4th quarter.

Lebron really exposed the Cavs Starting 5. Don't try to take on the whole team, take them on individually. D-Wade is doing the same thing, but D-Wade has some big guy in the middle taking pressure off him. His name is Shaq, he's pretty good.

Agreed.

Why the hell would you play Richard Hamilton on DWade when Prince was able to shutdown lebron james in multiple halfs & sometimes games.
Why the hell dont you drive to the net and get shaq in foul trouble?
Why the hell do you put your substitutes in at the 2nd quarter? ARE YOU EVEN TRYING TO FING WIN?
Why dont you play zone defense when your man to man defense isnt working?
Why dont you keep feeding the ball to prince who had an obvious mismatch and was scoring on every shot, instead of giving it to richard hamilton whos struggling and hunter who thinks hes going to be 100% from the 3 point line every night?

Why dont you make any changes FAST unlike the series with the cavs.

The Wizards lost to the Cavaliers in six games and they almost won THAT series.

Yeah, definite favoritism towards Lebron James. Everyone wants to see him do well and the rest of the country couldn't care less about the Wizards. That series should have been our's. As for the Pistons, I hope Dumars realizes the value of Larry Brown. The Knicks is just a terrible team, period. They have two selfish stars in Starbury and Franchise. Larry Brown is still one of the top coaches in the league.
