To the NBA Fans In 'Dis Mutha...

[EPSkis]

LA looks freakin' pathetic.

Detroit is playing with heart & brains. They're embarrassing the Lakers.

Damn, I just couldn't have imagined the Lakers playing this poorly in a Championship Series..

[rip]

Damn what a game last night, lakers are just being outplayed on both ends of the court.

just a quick survey, how many people from michigan, or michigan transplants had the bad boys "back to back" t-shirt when they were kids?

[dewey]

I had that shirt. And i just ordered myself a brand new old-school logo t-shirt in blue.

But people. Let's give credit to the pistons. They are winning this thing and it's not jsut the lakers sucking. DET has dominated defensively at many points this season and they are doing it again at their highest level - peaking when they are supposed to.
I am sick of hearing about the Lakers and would like the media and fans in general to start realizing that Pistons team ball is where it's at.

"Playing the right way" as Mr. Brown says.

I'd rather watch the pistons hold some one below 70 points than watch Kobe score 40 points on isolation plays any freakin' day of the week.

I still have the Detroit Free Press special edition from June 15, 1989. My t-shirt from that year wore out long ago, the newspaper remains.

Hell, I still have my "Roar of '84" Freep commemorative book with Gibby on the cover.

My wife has a "Red Wings Stanley Cup Champs 1997" license plate frame on her car.

I remember watching game 4 of the 1990 series of Portland vs. Detroit on armed forces television in Thialand. Rodman pre tatoo/wierdness phase.

I have both a Lakers hat and t-shirt that predate that. Showtime baby!

That said, I'm lovin' the Pistons game. Team ball, stiflin' defense, and no egos. The complete opposite of the Lakers. If I hear the term "role player" once more, I'm gonna puke. That kinda shit sickens me, and it's way to prevalent in LA's ball game. Just call me a disgruntled Lakers fan. I've been that way since they traded Eddie Jones. Fuckin' dumbasses! Could've been the sickest dynasty ever.

let me be the first to say it (if I am, indeed the first)...

PISTONS BACK TO BACK CHAMPIONS 04 and 05!!!!

I mean, with LB and pretty much the whole cast coming back next season (I guess they gotta re-sign 'Sheed, but shouldn't be a problem) - could be bad boys redux repeat X 2

I despise LA. Not the Lakers, necessarily, just LA.
But unless Kobe is caught yet again in an Eagle County hotel, and Shaq chokes to death on a Caramel Crunch Bar, there's no way LA's going to lose to Detroit.

Unless I missed something, neither of these things happened, YET the Pistons still dominated the Lakers. Nice job Pistons.

Yes, I know there are already a couple NBA threads on page 1, but I just had to quote EP.

Well, somebody had to do it, thx AD.

I've never been wronger-er.

I'm still undecided as to whether the Pistons are just really THAT much better a team - or whether LA looked as flat and singular as it appeared. In either case ~ I stand corrected. Just never would have imagined LA having their asses waxed, gift-wrapped and handed to them. Kudos to the Pistons.

It's a damn good thing I didn't put money on this. Speaking of which - FUCK Smarty Jones.

[The Reverend Floater]

People get ready for some big changes for the Red and Black.

Ripcity is 'boot to be resurected with some Rosey Vinsanity!

Ahhhhhhhh shit!

[Zeedashbo]

8 game win streak for the greenandgold.

[FNG]

Pistons finally played their shut-down defense last night against the Timberpuppies. Man, that was sweet.

[nest]

You all make me laugh. The Jazz are the best run organization in sports. We have a starting lineup that averages 24 years of age and will be together for the next five to six years. The blazers have animal abusers and little bitches that they give max money to. Paul Allen is the antichrist.

That's a pretty tall boast.

They said the same thing about the Clippers.

[irul&ublo]

... Paul Allen is the antichrist.

There's about 5 million Red Sox fans who might disagree.

As for BB, the Kings will take the West and face Indianapolis in the finals.
