This is Bullshit...Amanda, I got my thesaurus and everything....be a good sport
I've been looking forward to this all week. Can't you take a little gloating....You're a big girl aren't you....show us Ignorant Cav fans what you're made of!! Post it!!
BOOOOBIE FOR THREEEEE X 5
Damn. Detroit just couldn't get the breaks and big buckets they needed in the last 4 games of this series. Hats off not to Cleveland but to Lebron James. I believe this series ended in game 5 when he just couldn't miss anything. This team will be back next year and I believe will be even better than this year. Good Luck Cleveland, San Antonio is on a roll.
I got one post on....hurrah for me.....
:( that is all
I couldnt have said it any better. I KNOW we are the better team but they earned it. They played their heart out for it.
Im scared to see what happens in the off season.
my heart literally aches for dyess and webber.
we need a new spark. Someone to fit in with sheed,prince,rip and billups (if he comes back)
- Vin
Connecticut
so depressed. i wont be able to sleep. yay another night of no sleep. the reffs really favored the cavs
It sucks that the pistons lost..but i do not think the cavs have a chance against the spurs and ALSO I HOPE CHAUNCEY DOES NOT LEAVE!!!!! PLEASE someone answer my question will he stay in Detroiit or do you think he will leaves? I THINK JOE DUMARS AND HAMILTON WILL NOT LET HIIM LEAVE BUT WHAT DO YEW ALL THINK! I STILLLL LUV THE PIISTONS!!!! CANT WAIIT TIILL NEXT SEASON! WE WILL BE IN THE NBA FIINALS!!!!!! DETROIITTT BASSKKEETTTBALLLLLLL!!!!!
I couldn't sleep twice this week. Game four I was up all night, and Game five which I really thought we had when we went up by six in the fourth. I mean how many fade away one footed jumpers has Lebron ever made? He made more in the fourth and OT's than I'd seen him in his whole career. San Antonio is a monster of a team and in a way I'm almost glad we don't have to play them. I probably won't even watch the finals with the games no doubt being in the low 80's and more ass kissing of Duncan and LeBron. Makes me sick.
"David Stern is sleeping well tonight." Oh, fuck you. Did David Stern make Chumpy Billups and Tayshaun Princess play like shit all series? Did David Stern make the Cavs' rim larger so Boobie could knock down all those threes? Did David Stern make Joe Dumars hire the most dumbass mulletted head coach ever?
Grow up.
Anon 12:23....money!!! Wham with the right hand. I can't believe she posted it.
She's not inferring that Stern fixed this series. She's saying that he is damn happy to have the NBA's poster boy in its finals. You cleveland fans are such bags of douche your team has sucked for decades and when you literally win the lottery to get Lebron a new group of Cav fans magically emerge. Please we've been doing this for years, enjoy your series with the Spurs.
FLIPS GOTTA GO!!!!
once a guy puts up a couple threes put a god damn man on him seriously!
SEEMS LIKE A REPEAT OF LAST YEAR!!! CAN"T ADJUST DEFENSIVELY OR OFFENSIVELY!!!
LETS GET SOMEONE LIKE VAN GUNDY IN HERE AND GET BACK TO OUR DEEEEEETRRRRRRROOOOITTTTTTTTTT BASKETBALLLLLLLLL ROOTS!!!
i know i'm not the only one scratching my head over this one.
game was going down to the wire, but flip has no idea how to shut down the hot hand.
he just puts his players on an island and makes them look bad. i haven't seen the pistons EVER look disorganized, even back in the era of OT, marc macon, and Terry mills
somethings gotta give
I meant to say *YOU COULDNT HAVE.....*
With sucha short summary.. you said all the right things... everything I was thinking
and anon 12:23 you grow up. Listen to yourself.
Do you actually think David Stern wanted a Pistons-Spurs Finals... He is sleeping well tonight, that is not a slight against the Cavs... You won, celebrate.
woah, i can see a lot of pistons fans are still up. a true fan wont get any sleep tonight. at least its sunday. waht am i going to do? my room is a complete shrine of the pistons. 20 posters, autographs, bobblehead...EVERYTHING! i will love the pistons always and forrever, but it's going to be a long offseason, folks =[
Dumars has got his work cut out for him this offseason. This team can get better in a lot of ways lets see what magic he can pull out the hat.
man like what happend i mean i sat all day and said we got it expernice beats talent always. Then i said danm what kind of experince does our coach have cause he was in the same spot and blew it with KG. I know you shouldent blame the coach but how meny times can you blow a confrence finals cause all i know is its time for a change in the coaching staff and not the players
excellent review natalie . u always say something to cheer me up . "david stern is sleeping well tonight". lets face it we did crap, they out played us. in order for us to move forward they should be a coaching change: becuase flip saunders seemed as if he didn't know what the hell he was doing . he's made poor choices all damn year and i feel he should be gone. we should try to get morris peterson and probably acie law in the draft because we need some back up for chauncey(thats if he is staying) if chauncey goes i don't know what will happen because rip and the rest of the guys would probably follow
Natalie Cheer Up!
Pls Keep good work just like u did.
Hey Everybody, stay cool!
Let's just Ignore those childish kid.
Changes are coming. I congratulate and respect Lebron for somehow willing his team to victory. This series was won in Game 5.
Tonight the officiating was a joke. It would be nice if things were consistent on both ends. As Sheed was getting his double T I was screaming at the TV and waking my children. My wife was ready to eject me from the house. Pistons had their opportunities before tonight but the refs completely stopped any chance of momentum developing for us.
We got the 15th and 27th first round pick in this years draft so lets see what we get outta that!!! Chaunce... I dont know what to say about him... I think he might make that move to leave...
Because I h8 the Cavs I'm rootin for the Spurs... I hope they sweep them!!!
The Q is full of ish!! Falling debris from the fireworks, the orange ball rolling on the floor no time out, scoreboard malfunction...
But through it all I'M STILL A DETROIT PISTONS FAN!!! TO THE DAY I DIE!!!!
Bron keeps saying 'Championship' Yeah the Eastern Conference Championship... They are just happy to be there... Cleveland is still the MISTAKE BY THE LAKE!!!
GO SPURS!!
i cant say how upset i am, but like every year i cant wait for the off season i love this team so much and im frm moncton new brunswick canada, the guy with the tattoos, and this was a another enjoyable season from starting out slow to picking up c-webb and tearin it up, it was awesme, and i dont give a shit about what anyone says about SHEED he is a fantastic player and no one can every quesiton his heart
Natalie, you're a true fan. I can only imagine how you felt after this loss. I'm feeling sick to my stomach right now, and I just want to vomit. What hurts the most is the feeling that the pistons really were the better team...they just played extremely out of character the whole series. I'm at a loss for words after this heart breaking end..
if i were chauncey i would bolt unless there was a coaching change...
LA is going to come calling and you can't say no to jerry west...
the team looked foolish out there tonight and its all on flip saunders if you ask me...
big ups to sheed for callin out the refs, varajoke struck. can't say i don't blame the guy if it works... to bad hes going up agains the guys who perfected the flop (no not stockton/malone they invented it) the san antone spurs...
i dont know how they will stretch the finals past 4, but i'm sure they have plenty of whistles to help em out...
i hate david stern.
i hate lebron.
i hate varejao.
i hate refs [especially those in love with lbj].
i hate the new nba & where its going.
i hate superstars.
i hate cavs fans who show up and show off only when their team is up but when theyre down its cavaliers who??. dont know what a true fan is.
go pistons
we'll get em next year .. if not then.. then the year after that.. or however long it takes.. we WILL get that trophy back and hopefully chauncey will be there too just not flip [ we need a new coach with a new style.. something to SPRUCE up the pistons, refresh them, and wake them from the dead! cause they need it.. flips style is just not for them ]. and i will be behind you every step of the way no matter what happens.. this is my team*. Detroit for LiFE♥
Ruin and misery.I have been waiting since '04.Why did bigshot play like that? Why Philip Saunders is a dumb? continiuing zone after all that there points.....
I luv pistons.especially sheed.
i cried for my beaten and fallen champion...

Grow up is right Anon 12:23. have you such a big chip on your shoulder as a cavs fan thats finally able to watch your team play in the finals that you cant just enjoy the moment? my hat's off to the cavaliers, they took advantage of their opportunity in perfect fashion on their home court. however, you also have to literally be a complete idiot to ignore the fact that stern's a happier guy now knowing instead of a rematch, he's got a fresh team from the east in the finals with. Not to mention the NBA's obvious poster boy. Grow up
Chauncey is NOT leaving. I can't see any other PG leading our Pistons. As RIP said in ESPN interview about Chauncey- "if you go, I go" Flip on the other hand has to GO. Can Joe D get Chuck Daly out of retirement.
"Can Joe D get Chuck Daly out of retirement."
that was funny uyen even though you probably werent laughin. wouldnt we all love to see that at this point?
lebron is just lucky...he's not a superstar... mark my word...his teamates are garbage...
stupistars... stupistars... pistons were taken out of their game by the refs and thats, that...clevland has proven nothing.
"pistons are bad for basketball" MJ
j
I am sooo upset. I wont be able to sleep all night. Gay a$$ people are running up and down my streets cheering for the Cavs...their trying to piss me off. After this game i started to cry. It is sooo sad. Hope some of you get some sleep i know i wont be able to.
let us all now watch as the cavaliers are completely blown out of the water in an even more embarassing manner than the pistons just did.
Flip has to fucking go. The same shit happended last year. Fucking lost to Heat in game 6 of conf finals. Flip couldn't get Minnesota out of the first rounds and fucking can't get us out of conf finals.
Jess, all that i can said about Chuck Daly to keep me from crying.
IM CALLING FOR FLIP"S FUCKING HEAD. BRING BACK LARRY BROWN
This is all I'm saying...
Free Throws -
Cavs = 46
Pistons = 27
WTF!!!!!!!!!!!
For an elimination game, it was pretty obvious who they wanted to eliminate.
@$%! Varejao and the floppin Cavs
Why are all the trolls in Ohio stalking this blog? You all too stupid to make your own? Go gloat with your 46 free throws at the line at your own 'I SUCK ON LBJ'S DICK SITE". Morons!
Good luck COWS, Spurs has 3 superstars and 1 Eva Longaria, they will definitely get more calls than you. And you will just embarrass yourself on TV like your OHIO State Choke Football teams and Basketball teams.
Congrats to the cavs players not the fans they were just real bastards. Look I have followed the pistons for a while and this lost has been a dagger to my heart.. Here is the deaL WHERE WAS THE DEFFENSE Flip sucks he has just been on a joy ride the day he joined the pistons! we need to get a good coach and there are alot of them on the map. Where was the heart?? RIP you were increible ill see you at hamilton camp.. pistons for ever!!
lets go spurs.. i would love nothing more than for the cavs to get a REAL taste of a FAIR game.. thats right cavs you have a whole set of superstars to play against .. lets see if your little lebron can win the refs over them!
is it our fault that we chose to include five equal players in our play and actually have a team ?!?!?
why cant the refs appreciate that?!? why does it have to be a superstar who makes commercials with a team of five people who are all himself dressed in costumes.
why cant the nba be like it use to ?
congrats to Cavs or shall i say to lebron james....i still believe Pistons one hell of a team
GO PISTONS!
1 big shot stays like who would belive chuncey would sell out like Big Bitch and leave for purple and gold i mean he built a home at the place i just dont think he is up for anymore traveling but i just think that flip is out of his league maby girl soccer or somthing like that maby but yeah he got to go Joe D has never mad a worng move in my mind i hipe he makes the right decison and gives flip the boot and sheed dont let the door hit ya on the way out!
CHAUNCEY CANNOT LEAVE!!!!!!! HE IS THE HEART AND SOUL OF THE TEAM!!!! THEY ARE ALL LIIKE BROTHERS ON THE TEAM!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!
Now we gotta hope Billups re-signs in the offseason.
Even though im dont like the spurs i hope they sweep the cavs
The NBA is so soft now. At least Jordan had to go through the BAD BOYS. He had to earn his way to the line...
Lebron touches the ball and its two free throws. Even 'Boobie' shot something like 15 free throws tonight!
Our whole squad was going to the rim all night and we get no love at the line. Nothing!!!
Here, Cavs, here's more free points. Take twenty more foul shots than the other team. You for some reason deserve it for being in the NBA with one scrub team for like 3 years.
This is outrageous!!!
CHAUNCEY STAYS AND THE REST OF THE TEAM WILL STAY THE WAY IT IS BECUZ THESE ARE THE PIISTONS WE KNOW AND THAT WE LOVEEEEEE!!!!!!!! CAVS YEW STILL SUCK BECUZ THE PIISTONS ARE STIILL THE BETTER TEAM!!!! OH YEA HEY CAVS GOOD LUCK AGAIINST THE SPURS HAHAAHAHAHA CAVS WIILL LOSEEEE IM A PIISTONS FAN FOREVER AND EVER!!!!!!!!!
CAVS SUCKKKKKKKK!!!!!!!!
First off, yes, congratulations to the TRUE Cavaliers fans, as in: Those who have had to endure the Jordan over Ehlo shot in every Gatorade commercial, not all of the FAIRWEATHER fans that are now showing up. We the true Pistons fans know what it's like to endure frustrations, so to the TRUE Cavs fans, congratulations. To the fairweather ones, please get off need4sheed!
To the true Pistons fans, it's time not to start blaming anyone but to rally around Joe Dumars and the players and coaches. I agree that we need a coach who truly understands where the heart of the Pistons truly lies. I'd say, and call me crazy, that BILL LAIMBEER should be tapped in to come back home once again. After all, he built the Detroit Shock into a Champion and he bleeds Red and Blue like nobody.
I feel sorry about all the players, but some changes need to happen. I think Nazr and C-Webb might need to go. Webb's knees are betraying him and he paid his dues. Nazr wasn't a contributor and needs to go. We need to draft strong, I'd say go for Jeff Green from G-town, he's a good wing forward. I also think we need to get J-Maxx in the starting 5, maybe have him Diesel up some more in the offseason. Whether Billups stays or not, we need to draft a good guard to support him. Acie Law IV is a good option, he's tough and clutch.
I've been a Pistons fan since 1987, and I won't give up on the Red and Blue... they didn't believe in us in 1989, they didn't believe in us in 2004, and yet we keep finding ways to thrive and survive. We will return to contention. If the "King" wants to claim the Eastern Conference, we won't stop fighting... the Pistons lost this one, BUT WE'RE FAR FROM DEAD!!!!!!!!! DEEETROIT BASKETBALL ALWAYS AND FOREVER!!!!!!!
And, Natalie, Keep up the good work. I love your website! Your biggest fan from Colombia!!!!!
You know the NBA wanted this Finals matchup. They couldnt afford to have 2 defensive teams in the finals again. They baby lebron like dwayne wade last year. Whoever said Flip needs to go, I disagree he took us to one hell of a record last year. I cant beleive the calls they give lebron. Hes the face of the NBA they can let him not win because that wouldnt jack the TV ratings up.
The seasons over and im exited. Start a countdown NOW. Max is going to be great next year playing all year and chauncey will resign. Joe wouldnt let 2 faces of the franchise leave 2 straight years. CHauncey wouldnt be anything without Rip so everyone dont panic. I think we needed this loss. We needed a wake up call to let us know its not an easy 1-2-3 step anymore we need to play Detroit Basketball like we did against orlando and Chicago. Sheed needs to start getting calls the refs are 100% against him and its obvious. Im happy he got that T tonight to show he cant take it anymore. And finally Tay you need to step up on both ends of the floor. YOu werent are go to guy on D this post season and you could hit the rim to save oyur ass.
Joe you have a great team dont lose it this summer i think we need to pick up a good back up point because i get scared with flip bringing i up.
Everyone now lets get ready for 2007-2008.
DEEETROIT BASKETBALLLLLLLLLLLLLL
http://youtube.com/watch?v=6SSK9dHfasQ
^ i want the nba to be like THIS ! this basketball is so excited and entertaining!! it seems so real!.. and there wasnt even a FOUL called in the second fight! could you even imagine what would happen if that was today?! especially if it was on the nba's precious LEBRONNNN ! blehh makes me sick
The Refs are probably giving David Stern a BLow JOB right now... while David Stern is celbrating the outcome of this game!
FUCK DAVID STERN, he obviousley wanted lebron in the finals just to get a few moe bucks, but hats off to the pistons, they went out there hard! They had to beat the fans, the cavs, LeBron, and david ster with his hick-ass refs, with a descently called game, i honestly believe we couldve won games 5 nd 6. AND U GUVE MAD PROPS TO SHEED FOR GETTING THAT DOUBLE TEC AND STICKING UP FOR HIS FUCKING TEAM....
Another case of Webber being nothing but a LOSER (not that I blame it on him).
We need to sign some type of perimeter bench presence...or maybe a presence whatsoever. Other than 'Sheed and Chauncey, who shot a trey?
Carlos Delfino needs to go back to some other hemisphere, too. He is absolutely worthless.
I can't believe I'm longing for Mehmet.
Think I'm going to cry myself to sleep. :(
Way to go NBA...
Here'a another championship ring for Robert Horry.
The Cavs roster is filled with scrub players that wouldn't start for the majority of teams in the NBA.
I'm glad that we now get to watch a ball-hog team from the East go up against the Spurs.
We took the Spurs to seven. The Cavs are going to be lucky to go 5...
I'm afraid for next season. After this, I don't see Billups coming back. I think another starter (probably Sheed) is going to be traded, I DO NOT WANT THAT!!! But I'm really nervous to what will happen.
I would feel fine if the Cavs truly won that last game. I'll give Lebron all the credit in the world, he won games 3,4,5. The Refs won the game for the Cavs, I'm tired of this EVERY YEAR.
Cavs will lose to the Spurs in 6. Spurs will win their games HUGE, Cavs win two because when it's 8 on 5 it's hard to get swept!
Billups, please stay, even though I doubt it.
Rasheed...we had a need for you today...
^^ (1:16) yuppp i agree... sheed did it right!!! he said im not takin this shit anymoreeeee !!!
he knew it was unfair as hell and he was not gonna be quiet about it anymore!!
but thank you anonymous 1:12!!
you seriuosly made me feel better hah.. i dunno what exactly you said but after your comment im already over tonight and im ready for next year !! (hopefully with chauncey!!!!)
lets go pistons!!
"gangstas" & "thugs"
we embrace the love
and beat the hell outta anyone who fu*ks with us!
detroit motha fu*kas til we die!
btw i meant the first 1:12 who said DETROIT bASKETBALL at the end cause i was the second 1:12 lol just thought id mentiont hat
"I guess you can get through Detroit, by training in a pool."- Wise
Sorry, I couldn't resist
i still love my boys and im sorry for what they have to go through right now. they wanted it so bad but sometimes things just dont go right.
but remember guys, we are all pistons fans for life.
real love is not giving up even when its over. :)
deeeetroit basketball
the NBA is all about business i wont be surprised if chauncey leaves.....
soooo does anyone have an idea of when stern retires? cause party at my house when he doess!!!
Well i just got back from Palace Vision and it was a long and quiet ride home... Rasheed's emotion and passion is something i have understood because it is what drives him. But at the same time it really may have cost us by him getting ejected. Hats off to the Cavaliers they have quite a Superstar for their franchise for years to come...
Going to be an interesting offseason thats for damn sure
they need to get KG from MINN him and sheed in da paint no one will come in but they need to get rid of flip i mean they got rid of larry after he won a title then lost in the finals i dont understand that lol
poor mcdyess..he's my fave player and i wish i could give him a big hug right now!! he's such a nice guy and a good player. he deserves a championship more than anyone. i hope he is still with the Pistons next year and doesn't retire this off-season.
I <3 DETROIT!!
nobody can blame the coach ....flip is a great coach...he puts thaa ball in billups hands and his weakness was exposed this series...i think that the team might have to make sum trade's even tho i luv billups...i dun know how much longer he will be a piston.....rip hamilton is the greatest player in the NBA!!!
ohhh please chauncey dont leave! i named my dog after him! ahhhhhh
Everybody!!!!!!!!!!!!! against FLip Suanders ......so Chauncey can stay in detroit and we can finally have a coach who doesnt choke in the confrence finals PLEASE Join my group in FACEBOOk heres the link http://www.facebook.com/group.php?gid=2410994349
PLEASE HELP A BROTHER OUT!! WE are a eastern dynasty cuz there is nobody who plays team ball like us!!! WE gotta keep the faith in the good and bad times ! SHEED I UNDERSTAND YOU COULDNT TAKE THE REFS AND FLIP J-MAX YA SEEMED SAD BUT MAN YOU PROVED YOURSELF THIS SEASON!!!
they need to play jason maxiell more next year and draft sum1 thats like trveor ariza from da magic
i like the twat who says i have been a fan since 87, got some good laughs out of that. dp is about the day we draft zeke from indiana, thats when this franchise began, and i'm not down with it ending here by keeping flip saunders.
worst coaching performance ever, who brings in nazr in the 1st Q? he has barely played since we got c webb. i think the flip murray/lindsay line was good, but pushed it a little far plus flip murray should have been playing a lot more given his performance at the end of the season and the stuggles of our back court. they had no legs, everything came up short.... maybe as a coach you should notice this and switch up the back court a bit dont ya thinK????
and any mention of laimbeer as a coach in the nba is ridiculous. does it look like our team has training wheels on it ???? do we need a coach with no experience??? what the hell ? you think hes better than flip saudners hahahahaa???
get your head out of your ass
we need a coach with finals/championship experience, period.
Its safe to say the best TEAM didnt advance, just the team with the best player. And yes David Stern is sleeping like a baby, just like he did last year when Wade and Shaq anvanced. Unfortunatly the NBA dosent want to see the Pistons in the finals, and now they have their finals filled with stupidstars. But CONGRATS to the Pistons on ANOTHER trip to the east finals, they took us on anoter wild ride and now they have to look onto next season. Theirs going to be a lot of work to be done, most importantly the resigning of Big Shot and Dyese.Chris Webber and the coaching situation are other concerns,I say give BIG Bill Lambier a shot i think he would work out.
rasheed is one of mah favorite players but whyyyyyyy.....lik i kno the refs are assholes but your team needed you. and u act like there nothing....i think rasheed will be dealt this summer ... i kno the pistons prolly wud of lose anyway but that put there season away for sure.
DETROIT PISTONS for lyfe
why does everybody think maxiell is like some ridiculous player?? the guy is decent off the bench, thats it. if he is our starter next year we are done.
joe d gave us a ring, but his days as GM may be starting to wind down unless he delivers some hope for next season. five east conf. finals with this squad and only one 'ship just doesnt cut it. its 'ship or bust for this team next season, no doubt!
chauncey's weakness was not exposed, he had a bad series. He lead us to a championship. Flip on the other couldn't get Minnesota out of the fucking first rounds and can't get us out of the conf finals. Get your facts straight before talking shit about Mr. Big Shot.
rip hamilton is the superstar and billups is a joke... like step up for your team when they need you bitch
Really, people calling for laimbeer?
please list your names so we (anybody with any basketball IQ) know which messages not to read on this blog.
uyen ur fukking retarded .... he had a bad series becuz of the way the cavs played him dumbass ...they exposed what he was good at and what he wasn't...i didn't talk shyyt bout billups cuz he's to nice...i know that u dun no detroit ball so ima juss let you keep talking ish
We need to trade tayshaun
The whole NBA is on LBJames nuts its reDICKulous. The CAVS are overrated period.There team sucks but james will get the calls in the finals like wade did last year and probably win,cause thats what the NBA is coming to these days.How can you not look at the Cavs and shake your head...........What just happened!!!!!
flip is a good coach and players and fans need to show him sum love... lik who are you guys to talk about him ... he got us to the eastern conference finals two yrs in a row .... he can only do show much billups iis the coach out there on the floor and flip can't make billups not turn the ball over out there .... this was just the team reaking down not the coach or billups... it was everyone
agreed
I beleive in my hearts of all hearts that the pistons are just not meant to win. I really think that the league does not want to see the pistons win this one. Maybe because the woman won it maybe because of what think the pistons stand for or well maybe because of the fact that the league wants to see its James win as it did with wade. I really do not knwo I just know that I am starting to lose faith in this league. I will never give up on the piston even know I had this feeling that this year there was no way there would be a game seven of anyone had anything to do with it except the pistons. I could not watch this game but what I did see I did not like. I am the biggest prince fan but he was tired and that is not good cause even he said he would have help which he did not get. I really thik the pistons need it someone whi can help him out and get him rest cause its now been two years in the playoffs where no one on the team is there. I think flip needs to go and the pistons need some support to help tay they have taken him for granteed and well it just ran out. I hope Joe can find some way of helping out this team. I am a pistons fan until the end and will always been. I have already bought my season pistons for next season even know I will not be able to go to very many games with being out west in edmonton but I will be cheering for then as I did tonight. I am really sorry it ended this way but I do not see the pistons going away.
plzzzdun blame the nba refs ... is the pistons stayed together as a team and didn't let shyt lik that bother em they wud be fine but it got to there head. the team broke down and players fell into slumps and cud not recover
The Pistons do need a coaching change its obvious. Just like when they made changes after they won in 04, they must make changes and it starts with Coach Flip(GAME OVER)!!!
First of all, if you are going to call me retarted please write like you at least graduated middle school. I'm just stating the obvious. Billups didn't get the name, Mr. Big Shot for nothing. Flip never got Minnesota out of the first rounds and couldn't get us out of the conf finals. So tell me, what is it that I don't know about Detroit basketball? The facts that I have stated is true, is it not?
piston fans need to stick together not against eachother !!
just cause we re not in the playoffs anymore and arent going to fight with other fans til next season doesnt mean wehave to fight with each other!
The Pistons need to get a prime time scorer of the bench with McDyese.I say via free angent they try to pick up,ready for this...........Jerry Stackhouse-Remember this comment-
Come back Stack! Hey, why not?
Man, I have cried for the Pistons so now what. I think they gave up once Rasheed got the technicals I felt his emotion through the TV, he just got feed up the bogus calls they were getting, all that flopping the Cavs do are just ridiculous, the calls just didn't go the Pistons way, they were emotionally drained, I don't even think that they were tired, you can't beat the refs and the players too, they just threw their hands up, I thought the Pistons were doing a good job in the first 3 quarters, but something went terribly wrong in the 4th, I think the decision to rest Rip and Chanucey in the beginning was realy stupid, he should have done that at the end of the 3rd, so maybe Flip Saunders isn't the right fit for this team, he may need to be let go. I hope that the Pistons do all they can to bring Chauncey (my favorite) back I think that they will be a mess without him and if he leaves I think that the team would have a tough season next year, I think that we may need a center but get it right nest season, Jason Maxiell may need to be a starter. Rasheed is the fire for the team, Tay is the heart, Rip is the soul and Chauncey is the Life. I think that here is a piece missing and that is the Spirit, who could that be???? Hey we should start a petition to let Chauncey know how how much the fan want him to stay, I think that he needs to know that we love him and want him to retire as a Pistonn I got that mad love for that team, I'm all cried out, I'm gonna try to go to sleep, Good night Pistons fans and let's get ready for nest season. Peace!!!
The Cavs suck.And oh ya that was the uglyest Boobie ive ever seen.Esh.Deeetroit 4 life.
Agreed. We (piston fans) can agree to disagree among ourselves but there is no need for name calling.
GO PISTONS!!!
EAT SHIT RASHEED!
PISTONS SUCK!
Im so sad DET lost..I hope this loss becomes an effective motivation for next year..hope chauncey stays..i hope Mcdyess stays too... i will miss the pistons!
cant wait for the next season!
I just feel so empty right now.
Does this mean another, When September Ends Detroit Pistons Video ???
='( <|3
Vin
Connecticut
^ i thought of that too..so sad...even if im from the other side of the globe..man..i can feel the Pistons' sadness...
i hope something cheers us up real soon..like an assurance from billups he wont go.
First and foremost, Sheed is 99% staying in Detroit. The only team I could imagine willing to pick him up is the Mavericks. He will finish his career as a Piston.
Chauncey is 50/50 in my book right now.
Rip and Tayshaun will be used as trade bait. Zach Randolph from Portland is a good possibility. Either Shawn Marion and Amare Stoudemire from the Suns are possibilities. Sound crazy? The Suns have to make a move and Rip would fit in very well with their offense and Tayshaun would prove valuable to them as well. Kevin Garnett could be a possibility as well. It may seem crazy, but Detroit needs to make a big move. The era ended when Ben left and we all know it. 2 out of the remaining 4 will no longer be with us next year. That's just how it very will could end up. Flip is GONE btw and rightfully so. Look at his playoff performance the last two years. The regular season is great and all, but in the end it is the playoffs that matter. Other than the 1st round, the Pistons have looked awful/mediocre at best in the playoffs for the past two years. Its time for another change.
Congratz to the reffs and Stern for the fixed series.
Aside from the CAVS...NIKE wins too..LOL.
BRING BACK LARRY BROWN... NO JOKE... IF YOU WANT TO SEE PISTONS BASKETBALL ... BRING BACK LARRY BROWN... SERIOUSLY AT LEAST LARRY BROWN WOULD GIVE HIS TEAM MOTIVATIONAL SPEECHES LIKE 2005 WHEN LARRY BROWN SAID "JUST WANT TO LET YOU GUYS KNOW THAT I LOVE YOU GUYS", EVEN THOUGH THE TEAM WAS TRAILING HE SAID SUCH BECAUSE HE MEANT IT!
Bring back larry brown, thats all i have to say!
peace.
Agreed.
At the end of the day all of us Pistons fans have to tip our caps to the LeBrons (and Boobie) on a series well played. We have not seen Pistons basketball played since Game 3 of the Chicago series. There are many people who deserve blame: the refs (so many BS calls), the players (too much discord (or so the rumors say), too much "turning it on" when necessary, some over confidence, i could go on and on), the teflon don himself joe d (horrible moves with nazr and flip), and most of all the coaching staff specifically flip. I just hope as a life long Pistons fan we fall into the dark ages like the old Bad Boys did, but our core is much younger so that seems unlikely. I do think we need a drastic move as in a new impact player added to the core group. That most likely means moving one of our core 4. To me Tay seems untouchable (he is still the future and I don't see Joe moving the player that most reminds him of himself), Chauncey controls his own destiny, Sheed (who has been my favorite player since his blazer days, back when ben started emerging for us in 00-01 i used to tell my best friend how cool it would be if we somehow traded for sheed and won it all and low and behold...) probably can't be moved due to age and his contract (thank god cause i like most others here def don't want to see him gone), leaving rip (who def does carry us on offense but is def the one who can easily be replaced and upgraded to a "star" who gets "star treatment) and our 2 first rounders as bait for one of the big name stars who will be on the block this summer. Personally if kobe became available i would trade rip chauncey and one of the first rounders for him (i hate that guy more than most, even own a kobe is a scumbag tshirt but could you imagine an even more motivated kobe in the east with a sold supporting cast? thats at least one ring guaransheed). But the biggest most vital move and one that i doubt will happen is that Flip must be fired, he has proven now after 3 conferance finals trips that he while he's a smart coach in terms of plays he can't make the on the fly decisons required to win in the playoffs, he got outcoached but freakin Mike Brown for god's sakes. If anyone starts a Fire Flip website, petition, whatever please post it on here so all us disgruntled fans can support it. That all being said the future is cloudy but the Pistons are not dead...yet. If this is the end of an era for our core four, thanks for the 'ship and all the memories. FIRE FLIP...SAVE SHEED (just in case)
*i meant to say we won't fall into the dark ages
Anony 1:55,Tayshaun should be traded? Are you stupid? He just had an off series, the players just had an off series. Chauncey will stay because he knows that the Detroit Fans can't go through our best player leaving again.
I think we should get Bill Lambier as coach.
Also, I am going to love Chauncey forever no matter what happens cause he has led this team for a long time. Rip will become a superstar cause I think he knows that he has to score a lot in the playoffs in games like this series.
I got into a huge argument at the bar i watched the game at about sheed when he was ejected. he contained his composure enough to send james to the line and then when he was fouled out and could do no more he got the tech if not techs saunders should have gotten for having to put up with the calls. the pistons should have responded to that emotion it could have been an extra point for the cavs but they didnt even hit the tech. I think everyone else let him down in a big way. I really thought that was the spark they needed. like when they would start going strong to the basket but they just took second guessed forced jumpers. sooooooooooo pissed. oh and for that douche that wants to see sheed leave. pistons defense is NOTHING with out him. sorry to say but im out when hes gone
I have never posted here before tonight, but I have to say my peace in the one place I feel it needs to be said. Rasheed did not get ejected because he was mad. He bailed on his team. He knew it was over, and he didn't have the balls to loose like a man. I am sorry, but there is no need 4 a guy who cannot stand by his teamates. Win as one, loose as one. What NBA player goes after a REF? You asked to get ejected, and you got your wish. You didn't have to be on the floor, embarresed by a rookie and a college senior. I have bled piston colors since I was a boy, and this franchise has always stood for TEAM. You, Rasheed, are not a part of that. I believed in your passion, that it was derived from a desire for the PISTONS to win a 'ship. I excused your behavior during the regular season, believing that you only wanted the team to have the best shot at winning. I now see that you have only your own pride as your motivation. You, and the rest of your teammates are paid extrodinary sums of money to PLAY a GAME that most humans enjoy for recreation. You should consider that before you get yourself 'ejected' from your next teams' game.
They can blame sheed, but sheed was the most consistent piston in the playoffs. after game 5 you could tell his emotions were at the breaking point; it started with mcdyess' ejection in game 5; it was all downhill from there; you do not see that fire from sheed because of the fear of more techs; he was target the last three years by the stern storm troopers; i thought he should have controlled himself better in the game, but what the hell, you all saw the bogus calls; and sheed could not controll himself; god bless the pistons and i respect joe dumars to do what is best for the pistons; i just hope that next years team includes chauncy and sheed; chauncey did not show anything this series, but i still believe in him
very classy, Natalie. You, unlike Sheed, went out on top...nicely done. it's hard to admit defeat, but you do so with class and character.
I say: Need2GetRidOfSheed
What a soreass loser that guy is. What a disgrace to professional sports. I know some of you like the guy, and I hope you don't think I'm piling on, but how many meltdowns and unclassy tantrums does he have to have in his career before people realize that he's just a turd? Since the minute he came into this league, he could have been a Tim Duncan. But instead, he failed to grow as an individual, got by mostly on talent alone and failed to become the best he can be. It's a shame. I don't hate him as a person, because I don't know him - but I do hate how he has treated his NBA career. Such a waste of immense talent. He could have been an All-Time Great, but chose to be an overconfident child. I feel horrible for his Piston teammates that they had to not only witness his meltdown tonight, but to also have to try to hold him back. Such a shame. That all said, good luck to you in the future, Pistons fans. If and when this guy is off your team, I'll be rooting for you again.
Scowling as I was all night, everything came down to my dear wife who was watching the game with me:
"He got thrown out for that?"
She may just be getting a handle on sports outside of soccer and tennis, but that was one of the more insightful comments I've heard in the while...
(((Let's T Sheed in case he breathes hard! Let's do it twice if he coughs!)))
Whatever. His reputation preceded him, which is hilarious seeing that refs are supposed to be objective entities. Oh well. It's great that this was one of the greatest referee performances in conference finals history. Give them the Jerry Krause Memorial Trophy!!!
Not that I want to start a whole new thread...but I had a feeling our 'stones may have been whooped by the Spurs (say, 6)...
That means anything equal to/lesser than those steers/(finish it if you've seen Full Metal Jacket) will keep me completely losing it...(Plus a 2-hitter by Bonderman tomorrow)
Its funny how frustration drives fans mad ya'll should calm down...give lebron his due, he had enough money to pay the refs from if the refs do the same in the spurs series expect a knee to the crotch of lebron by bowen... but seriously look forward to seeing the MONSTER Amir Johnson will be and Delfino will keep improving.. but seriously we need a better Center... i hope amir,maxiell and mcdyess fill that void.
CHRIS WEBBER IS NAILED TO THE GROUND AND HE SHOWED IT IN THE PLAYOFFS THATS WHO SHOULD BE IN THE HOT SEAT NOT FLIP. WEBBER WAS ALWAYS LATE IN ROTATIONS AND HE HAS NO ELEVATION AND GAS LEFT IN HIM.
R.I.P Detroit... what a funeral it was.
Leave Sheed alone, he said that hes not in this league to be a superstar, but to win a ring. I mean, hes playing with the heart and emotions.
I agree that Flip should be fired, I don't see him fighting for hes team like Brown did it. Seriously that series were fixed, like Sheed said "NBA is all about money". I won't be surprised if the finals will be fixed too and Cavs win 4-2. If there will be fair game finals then Spurs will win it in 4.
Pistons fans, we don't have to be feeling down because we lost this series. It's not like we played poorly (in my humble point of view), we played great! We kept it close in games 1-5, but we have to admit, 'Bron played better, and his cohorts stepped up when our 'Stones couldn't. So hats off to the Cavs and 'Bron. Bring that 'ship to the east!!!
let's make a chauncey petition=]
natalie, you know how you made a petition for rasheed wallace, aka free sheed?
Can we please make one like keep chauncey billups? HE CANNOT LEAVE.
and neither can rip,tay,or sheed.
What bugs me the most is how cwebb kept saying, the championship would mean so much to me, and i want it so bad? Well, he didn't really show that.
&&If mcDyess wasn't ejected game 5, we would still have a game 7 at our place. This is ridiculous.
Flip Saunders needs to go. Seriously! The way we guarded L.james, and "boobie" gibson, is not acceptable. Flip's stategies may work in the regular season, but definetely not in the playoffs.
long offseason...that's for sure.
PISTON FAN FOR LIFE RIGHT HERE!
damn, what a human being can say after a deception...
Send sheed away...
Rip and Prince must leave...
Chauncey will not stay...
Hey, let´s just shut the fuck up on sunday, don´t say things you will regret in the future. Congratulation to Lebron James and his will of fortune. Nothing more can be said right now. Any attitude took in game 6 is worthless to chat about.
ok well we all know what great players the pistons are! we've seen it in the regular season just a month ago !! theproblem is they dont know how to play the SAME team CONSECUTIVELY .. well not with flips style anyways.. he knows how to get a etam beat for one night and move to the next... but we know our players are capable of BEATING these teams we just need a coach who can handle the same team more than one night in a row.. flip is a good coach.. just not for the pistons.. we're mixing a coach with a certain style with players who have a different style in a league whose style has COMPLETEY changed for the worse.. we just have to start matching things up.. aka a new coach for the pistons who can give them what they need.. i wouldnt mind seeing larry brown back either
I don't look at it as the cavs won.
i look at it like LeBron won.
and everyone knows if it wasn't for him they wouldn't be very far.
yes the pistons played good, but this game could have determined chauncey billups future.
sure one player dont make that much of a difference.
but then it might affect Rip hamilton, as you all know he is like begging him to stay.
and chris might retire.
so this game had a lot to do with the future.
the whole state of michigan is in depression mode.
when will we find out about the changes of next season? there is like no post game quotes or anything...
I am very disappointed for the way the Pistons played this series..changed need to be made this summer..
Anyways, GO PISTONS! I will always cheer for you..can't wait for the next season
Spurs beat Cavs in 5
This is a great blog so I'm expecting some deeper analysis of the game and of the series in the next days
Sheed and some key players (Billups, Tay) played pretty bad and well under their usual efficiency. 5-14 and 2 reb in 30 minutes, WTF? Are they already declinin, or poorly coached or what?
Pistons could and should have won this series, they were the better T-E-A-M. But Cavs DESERVELY advanced. Why?
I wait for need4sheed explainations
Ricky - Sixers4guidos
I like this blog, it's nice and all, but you Pissants fans are priceless. The refs screwed us! WAH!
Did the refs make the Cavs out-rebound the Pissants 53-33? Did the refs make Tayshaun Princess shoot 16-62 in the series? Did the refs force Raweed into being the biggest bitch in the NBA? Man up, Pissants fans.
I am honestly heartbroken.
Nothing else to explain it.
I hate this feeling, I had it last year too.
I'm also very, very anxious.
I hope to GOD Billups is not going to leave.
With all my heart I hope he is not going to leave.
It is very disappointing, but I love the Pistons, and will continue to.
I hope there is some good things to look forward to in the summer, like Nat said. I just don't know what. I just want Billups to stay!
I want us to be together one more year!
And David Stern IS sleeping well tonight. Why would he actually want a TEAM in the finals rather than a huge "superstar?"
MONEY MONEY MONEY.
I hate that faggit.
I hate all of Cleveland right now.
This changed my whole summer. Plain and simple.
Nat, what do you think about Billups?
anonymous 10:36...us "pissants" fans are not saying they MADE them shoot poortly, but the calls they made were awful. There were so many calls. If they didn't call a flagrant 2 on mcdyess in game 5, game 7 would be tomorrow. sheed was also fouled with 33 seconds to go in double overtime. they didn't call it! Everybody knows Varajoe is a flopper. Sheed's 5th foul was complete BS. You know it, and they know it. &&&David stern just wants all the stupoerstars to get all the fame; not a team who plays like a team.
congrats to sprite and nike. you played a really great game and you deserve all the fame and money that will be coming to you in a few days.
SPRITE/NIKE -----> '07 NBA CHAMPS!!!!!!!!!
When do you think we'll find out about the changes that will be made for next season? i hope that none of the players leave, but we do need a little change in the coaching!! PISTONS FOREVER!!! <3
anonymous 10:36... nooo the refs didnt make the pistons shoot like that ... but they DID give majority of the calls to the cavs and of course youre not going to admit it cause it was in your benefit... butmany of the calls that the pistons were called for would NEVER be called for on your little lebron or any of the other cavs... dice was called for a flagrant 2, ejected, and almost suspended.. lebron and gooden did simliar things and just got techs.. i could go on and on and onnnnn but im just saying.. if you were playing a game and all calls were AGAINST you every TWO SECONDS and all refs are going against you.. im pretty sure youd get aggravated and start messing up too .. its only human
but congrats to lebron.. i didnt think it was possible for one person to win over a bunch of refs and soo many "fans"
Hahahaha!
I love your comment, Sammi!
Pistons are definately the better team. The refs were complete bullshit and totally unfair.
EVERYONE. RELAX!!!!
This is the Detroit Pistons we're talking about. I know saying that might not carry around as much weight as it used to, but were still a very well run and established franchise. Joe Dumars is the best and smartest GM in the NBA. I have complete confidence in his ability to evaluate the roster where it stands and move it forward in the right direction.
As for Billups, it is out of our hands. The Pistons will offer him a contract to stay, like they did last year with Big Ben, and it will be up to him to stay or leave. Everyone last year was freaking out when our "heart and soul" decided to bolt town, yet Dumars never panicked and still maintained a balanced roster.
The Pistons aren't done, believe me. In the Eastern conference, we'll always be a contender even if there are some young improving teams on the rise. The experience and saavy of this team is too powerful to ignore and it will bring them back. Sure, maybe some changes will need to be made moving forward, however I am able to sleep on it knowing we got the right people in charge of the ship.
It'll be an interesting offseason, but it's up to us Pistons fans to keep on supporting the team and never give up on them.
As for the finals, regardless if the Pistons were to make, San Antonio is winning the championship. I'm out.
freaking ridiculous how pistons could make a half court shot and its " good", and LeBron makes a layup and it is the best shot of the game.
Refs made bad calls (sometimes both ways)SOMETIMES
FANS had no respect, AT ALL.
its kinda funny how the cavs first ever finals appearance they are going to lose.
i mean i even thought the Pistons were going to lose in the finals, but not as bad as cavs.
Cavs arent even ALL that good. Freaking LeBron James, he could have 2 points and he could by the money player, he is in it for the FAMMEEE!!
This is coming from a diehard Pistons fan and need4sheed supporter...
TRADE SHEED.
CUT SHEED.
SHEED HAS TO GO.
His stupidity and complete lack of self control is a harmful attitude that has infected the rest of the team. I'm tired of the antics, the whining, the complaining, the profanity and the lack of 20 points and 10 boards. See ya Sheed...it was fun while it lasted.
WHY IN THE FUCK DO YOU GUYS THINK THAT CHAUNCEY IS GOING TO LEAVE FOR LAKERS. HELL NO HE IS NOT. HE IS NOT GOING TO BE WITH THAT BALL HOG KOBE. ALL I KNOW CHAUNCEY IS NOT GOING TO LEAVE. BUT ONE THING I KNOW IS THAT PISTONS ARE GOING TO GET A NEW BIG MAN AND A NEW COACH. AGAIN NO FUCKING WAY CHAUNCEY IS GOING TO LEAVE US FOR ANY OTHER TEAM. IF HE DOES LEAVE THE PISTONS ARE DONE WITH.
piston fans theres only ONE good thing to come from this loss.. watching hte cavs get their asses whooped kicked destroyed and used to clean the spurs court floor hahhaha ic ant wait til little lebron gets a taste of a series against a team that has THREE of him [superstars]WITH teammates who are talented hahaha lets see if he can win the refs over in this one!
Okay, I really believe a couple of things are going to happen. 1 thing is for certain, we are going to need a change. Zach Randolf may actually be the key to our success. I dont know if he is a free agent, or not... If he isnt, we could offer Nazr, Delfino, Blalock and a draft pick for Zach. Than sign Grant Hill this off season and you are back to a championship caliber team. If Chauncey were to go for a max deal, only 2 teams have the cap space to get him, Charlotte(who dont need a point gaurd) and Milwaukee whom Chauncey would probably turn down only for the fact that, that team isnt going anywhere. If any Piston starter were to get traded, I hate to say it but I feel Rasheed would be the one to go. For the simple fact that we need front court help. I have faith that Joe D will get us back to the promise land, but i was saying that right before the trade deadline when NOTHING happened. Bonzi wells could have done marvels for this team off the bench, and we just let him rot in Houstan. I know he has a bad attitude, but put him with the right group of players and you see how he dominates teams like San Antonio. I honestly believe that we can pull it off next year if we just tweak the frontcourt, and add Grant Hill or Morris Peterson. Lastly, congratulations to the Cavs. Mostly LeBron James. The Pistons didnt play with the Swagger they had throughout the playoffs. THey played with little heart and use the referees as an out to why they played so horrible. This was a mental game, this series was, and the pistons lost their cool. I do feel the referees had a major impact in the outcome of this series, but you still need to fight through and learn to play through it. Sadly, for the Pistons, they are too cocky for their own good. Pistons are the better TEAM*, LeBron was the best player. Sadly, this is what the NBA wants.... Great Players, not teams.
Nick~~
My heart goes out to McDyess and Webber and their families. I also feel for Flip Murray, because he made the right choice coming to the better TEAM***
I agree, Rasheed is a great player and I love him to death, but, if he doesn't learn to hold his emotion, then it's done for. I understand that it's just how he plays, but everytime he argues, the other players have to get in the way, and every tech or ejection he gets hurts the team. He NEEDS to learn how to control himself, otherwise it just gets everyone into trouble. Secondly, Chauncey is not going, he found a home in Detroit, and yes he had a couple bad games, but so did Tay, it's not over. We still love our Pistons, and instead of freaking out about the past, we just need to move on. The cavs won, and hats off to them, but it's done with, over, we just all need to move on and not linger on this moment to long. There's always next year, and i know we said that last year, but the time will come once again.
Anon 12:23 - definite loser there! That's just the type of fan the Cavs need. It's all about the ratings & the Cavs being in the Finals is good for TV. That's it. I hope the Cavs watch the videos of these past 4 games and realize they didn't win because they played well, but because they had it handed to them by the refs. Must be nice that LeBron has enough money to write out some paychecks to his "friends." The obvious no-calls and one-sided fouls - can't call them for one and not the other - but that's exactly what happened. I would only wish that refs could get suspended for the horrible ass calls that came out of these games. The OBVIOUS flopping by a guy that apparently can't stand on his own two feet. I've never seen someone fall so many times, and make it look NO WHERE NEAR a real fall. He's not a player, he a fucking actor!! Get a new job, SideShow Bob! I've seen LeBron do so much bitching to the refs, and did you ever see him get T'd up for it? Hell no, because "he's King." Bullshit! Everything he's ever done has been handed to him on a silver platter. Sheed barely opens his mouth and gets ejected. There's so much special treatment given to LeBron, it's a joke. He's NOT MJ and HE NEVER WILL BE!!!! He doesn't have enough class or talent to be put in the same category. I don't want to watch the Finals, but the only reason I would is to watch the Cavs get completely pummeled by the Spurs. It's going to be a sweep, and we all know it. Enjoy the ass-beating and total embarrassment - I'll witness that anyday!
This is so disapointing, I can't believe it.
I never thought I would say this, but I'm PRAYING for some changes in the off season, cause we need them. We lost because we were cocky. The guys didn't even seem to care TOO much when they lost, cause they always acted like they could just go out and play whenever they felt like it. Well, they can't. They're full of it and I'm sick of it. I miss our old attitudes.
I'm sick and tired of the attitudes on this team. I LOVE these guys to death, but they are losing the reason that I loved them so much, and that was because they are down to earth and for real. Chauncey is getting on my last nerve. His attitude sucks and he's full of it and ridiculously cocky. I'm sick of him always trying to be the superstar. (ex six seconds on the clock, DIDN'T need a three, but dribbled till he had about 1 second left, shot a crazy three and didn't even come close. Can you say drive it in? Can you say PASS?) His little smirks when he makes a bad play are getting old. I used to love Chaunce, but he's driving me nuts.
I hate to say it, I really do, but Sheed is getting to me too. He seriously needs to get ahold of himself. His selfish little fits are getting out of hand and helping us lose. I used to love his desire, and actually found his fits funny and entertaining. It's not funny anymore!!! He's a grown man, he needs to act like it!! He might be the most talented guy on the team, but he's too busy complaining to prove it. He screws the whole team over when he throws his little tantrums.
And Flip, which I think everyone can agree with, just isn't cutting it. He does not know how to adjust. I mean, come on, if someone's consistently playing like crap, take them out!! If someone is doing good, leave them in!! Even I can figure that out!!
I guess there's still hope for next year. Within two years Maxiell, I believe, will be the star of this team. Unless these Kobe to Pistons rumors are true, which would suck. He's my second least favorite player in the NBA, only one behind LeBron. I hope we still have CWebb and McDyess for a few years. They deserve more playing time, more respect, and more championships!!!
I never seen the Pistons so Unfocus maybe the 21 minutes of clock malfuntion or the fact that was the first game with out 24 second clock..or the fact that we got to many foul trouble....the techs of Rasheed...but the sum of all this show that westerday Detroit was under a lot of presure...Right now I dont feel like taking much about this game its just sad...But im sure about one thing I keep the Piston jersey to my grave Im a Piston for life and win or lose...I will allways be a Piston.
See you next season and dont forget there is one call for us
Detroit Basketball.....

I love how you Piston fans say "Have fun getting blown out by the Spurs, Cavs fans!" Do you not realize that we just humiliated your whole franchise. you guys are DONE. And I love the fact that not only did the Pistons lose, but their poor sportsmanship embarrased their city furthur. Have a great summer jerks!
a ton of thanks to rasheed for running his huge mouth!!! we could of and wouldve done it without yah!! thanks to hamilton for fouling out and thanks to u pistons fans for non of ur support
cavs r NUMBER 1 and chris webber:
we're the best athletes in the world not the PISTONS
ha ha ha ha
we r the eastern conference champions!!!!!
thanks again and remember
gooooooo cavs!!!
ohhhhh yeeaaah!!!!
spurs watch out here we come ur next 2007 nba CHAMPIONS
ur CLEVELAND CAVALIERS!!!!
Anon 10:36 - back from last nights 12:23 blog I see. Rearing to spread some more bullshit with his unique name changes. Pure loser talent right there. If I were the Pistons, I would have lost my cool waaaaaay before Sheed did. When you're getting a bunch of bullshit calls, who wouldn't? It would have been easier to have just walked off, because it was already decided anyway. McDyess never would have been ejected from Game 5 had LeBron not made a huge scene when the "actor" of the team fell to the ground. LeBron ran over his teammate, puffing out his chest, completely trying to start shit. And who do the refs listen to - their beloved LeBron, who else? Detroit came out in the first quarter of Game 6 playing the Deeeetroit basketball we know and love. It wasn't until Flopper had to be a bitch and try to start something with Webber after a jump ball was called. It changed the whole mood. That's the only way they can win - by getting the Pistons fired up and out of sorts. Then there's LeBron again, puffing out his chest and trying to act all hard - you're NOT GOING TO DO SHIT FAGGOT! Not to mention that the Cavs arena can't figure out their shit! Their arena had shit falling from the ceiling, balls rolling on the court in the middle of play, shot clocks and scoreboards that couldn't work for shit!! What the hell? Can't wait to see what they'll think of next when the Spurs are in town, pummeling their ass! Maybe the whole damn scoreboard will fall onto the court, or maybe the power will go out and there will be complete darkness. I wouldn't put it past them. They can't win by talent, but rather need gimmicks to get them through.
Love the comment from sammi about Nike and Sprite - ain't it the truth? hahaha
Fire Stern for inconsistancy in the NBA. Fire Flip for the poor choices he makes during playoffs- not just in Detroit, but in Minn. too.
It's not the players- they were obviously frustrated beyond all. The NBA has become a joke.
Believe us anon 1:08 - we weren't humiliated by your team. How can you be when the games were given to you anyway? They were being human - let's see how you would react when only one team gets called for the same shit.
Yeah, how about the LeBron's push on Chauncey that didn't get called...but then a foul was called when no one even touched LeBron? He threw the ball out. Or how about when LeBron hit Tay right in the face - no call there either. Apparently if your name is LeBron the same rules don't apply to you.
I wish all these loser Cav fareweather fans would get off a site that is meant for true Pistons fans. I guess that's how you have to spend your day - getting revenge for what your team hasn't achieved in over 60 years. Grow up
Ok so im pretty tired of everyone pointing fingers at certain players... I cant believe people are saying that Chauncey needs to go he is the leader everyone on the team needs him he makes everyone better... and sheed he is the whole attitude of our team i have never seen anyone play with more passion and emotion for the game then him so anyone saying that chauncey and sheed need to go are completely out of their mind... and even more sad is the lack of trust some of these "fans" have in the Pistons they had a bad series but i didnt hear anyone complaining when we lost two games to Chicago because the end result was that we won that series and if the Pistons would have won the series aginst Lebron not the cavs then half of the people posting stuff on here would not have even said anything i guess we found out who the real Detroit Pistons fans are.
And for the people saying that Tay needs to be traded you are out of your mind him and Maxiell are the future of the Pistons.
DETROIT 4 LIFE <3
Cant wait till next year
GO PISTONS!!!
David Stern is sleeping well tonight.
id rather not grow up its fun rubbing our win in ur face!! thats y we do it because we hate sheed and the whole reason i found this ws was when i was searching pics of my beloved anderson on google and i found need4sheed.com so i went to it and all i found was depressed fans sayin crap about the eastern conferce champs the cavaliers i need to grow up u need to get over ur pathetic team and leave us alone!!!
I agree Malenda - Sheed played the most consistent throughout the whole Playoffs. He does have the most heart - Cav players would only wish to have so much emotion and passion! I do believe he has to start getting himself more under control, because the refs just feed on it. They have come so accustomed to it that they watch and wait for one little move from him, and it's bullshit. All the mouthing in the world from LeBron never got him anything. What's up with that? Oh wait, I forgot, he doesn't count. He scouls and gets the call he's looking for.
hahaha - Anderson - the actor who quit his day job as a basketball player. Love the three-shot attempt from him in Game 6. The announcer called it before it even left his hands - he said, "oh no." That's right. How the hell did he make it to the NBA. Get a new pair of legs you homo.
oh whatever idk what he was doin on the 3 either but we need him on our team and it helps with rasheed gettin ticked at him then gettin called for ts omg its hilarious
av is the reason rasheed got kicked out and personally i love anderson hes soo hott!!!
WOOOO! i cannot wait until october 2007 ... i NEEDDD some detroit ball already!! its gonna be a longggg summer without them.. my life is pretty much based on the pistons!! everyone cheer up and hope chauncey stays.. the more positive attitude the more it just may happen !!! all we need is a new coach with a new strategy
dont lose faith piston fans!!
we will get back to that
DEEEEEEE-troitttttt
BASSKETTTBALLLL!
[and pray for no kobe on our team... the LAST THING we need is a superstar... we'll just be like every other team in the league..and we dont play that NOPE!]
Name me a major player of a team that collect 3 personal fouls in the fourth quarter in a game 6 and the team with a one point deficit?
absolutely unheard of? i don't blame sheed for losing it. and that offensive foul, unfuckinbelievable..........please natalie, how can we support the pistons and sheed in the face of this horrid media bashing; espn is beside itself now that they have lebron
SPEAKING FROM A UNBIASED POINT OF VIEW:
I TRUELY BELIEVE THAT THE SERIES WAS CALLED IMPARTIALLY. YES, THE PISTONS DID NOT KNOCK DOWN SHOTS, BUT THERE WERE NUMEROUS CALLS THROUGHOUT THE SERIES THAT ONLY CONFIRMED MY SUSPICIONS (AND WHY WOULDN'T THEY) THAT THE NBA VERY MUCH WANTED THE CAVALIERS IN THE FINALS. 2 YEARS AGO, THE SPURS-PISTONS CHAMPIONSHIP WAS ONE OF THE LOWEST RATED CHAMPIONSHIPS IN A LONG LONG TIME. VAREJAO CONSISTENTLY GOT CALLS WHICH WERE CLEARLY FLOPS, MULTIPLE TIMES FOULS WERE CALLED THAT WERE 100% DISPUTED BY REPLAY EVIDENCE (the foul on Rip on Gibson's jumper (in Game 4 or 5, I'm not entirely sure) is a perfect example. LeBRON IS NOT HELD TO THE SAME SET OF RULES AS THE REST OF THE PLAYERS ON THE COURT, AND THAT IS UNFAIR. THAT BEING SAID, CLEVELAND STILL PLAYED BETTER THAN A RIDICULOUSLY UNDERACHIEVING PISTONS TEAM (still by far the better team) AND DESERVE TO BE IN THE FINALS. THE CAVS BEST (not counting game 6) ONLY NARROWLY ESCAPED WHAT WAS DETROIT BASKETBALL'S WORST PERFORMANCES IN YEARS.
DAVID STERN IS SLEEPING WELL TONIGHT.
excuse me 3 personal fouls in 39 seconds......unfuckinbelievable.......unfuckinbelievable
You need him on your team to make falling look so bogus, they're actually called fouls. He's a complete joke, who runs around with his sideshow hair flopping (pun intended) as if he has never been on a basketball court in his life. You know nothing about the game, except that your team won. And it's not even a team - it's a bread winner and some refs. Much luck with the sweep that's about to come your way - hopefully the bristles don't scrape you too hard. Wouldn't want any of the Cavs to actually play some real basketball.
whatever u say and i know a ton bout basketball enough to know those arent flops u fans r soo pathetic and we wont be the sweepees were gonna be the sweepers so get over ur team and stop makin excuses bout varejao u know he rules!!
goooo cavs
ohhhhhh yeaaaahhhh!!!
i like how the majority of the cavs fans dont know shit about basketball EXCEPT
A- when they have won
B- when lebrons commercial comes on
haha i tried to think of something else but thats REALLY all i came up with .. you all (but its pretty obvious its just one person commenting again and again as a different person) dont know shit about basketball...and i know that by the time theyre announcing the spurs as the 07 champs.. you all will most likely be on tony parkers or tim duncans ass then during the offseason youll most likely go back to lebron due to his new funny commercial or whatever product hes selling this time
but let me summarize this for you:
you dont know shit about basketball and you know it!! go wipe lebrons ass. cause us pistons fans dont phaseee you bitchesss !
thank you :]
At least you can type and make complete sentences. Say no to drugs and stay in school.
well put anon 1:51
A general disclaimer
- I am not a conspiracy theroist by nature and do not believe that there is a space ship being dissected in area 51.
- The Cavs did play their hears out
- The Pistons I believe are the better team but simply did not play to their potential and never looked like they really wanted in the series.
{{{{{{ However!!!!!))))))))
-There is no doubt that Stern wants to take the NBA global and lebron can sell the league and shoes much more easily than a team who as a whole are greater than their parts ( with another exception of recent play )
-The inequity of the calls in this series nearly had me arrested for screaming obscenities in local bars. (Appearently oxygen is a member of the Pistons team that fouls Lebron at the refs decide to imagine it.)
- That said, no, Stern did not have a midnight meeting with the refs association that included goat's blood rituals and a messianic plan to anoint the Cavs. That is much too clumsy for men of their pay grade.
- Their whispered instructions ( i imagine ) went something like this. You all know how Sheed is and the Pistons are a physical team, call it accordingly. Then again I bet they just said close you eyes and imagine Michale Jordan and calls you fouls in that nice little happy place where reality doesn't leak through the firework torched roof.
- In the play offs where two teams are playing on near equal footing ( look at the point diff in the series by game) Imagining michael can cost you the three or four imaginary fouls tip the game in favor of selling shoes in China (Lebrons anointment).
- FINALLY, YES IT IS OUR FAULT FOR LETTING THE GAMES BE THAT CLOSE THAT THE REFS CAN AFFECT THE OUT COME!!!
holy frustrating batman.
I still love my Pistons and next year the refs won't be able to influience our 20 victory margin.
till next year......
^ohhh good one! lets bash on grammar !!!! now we're cool arent we?
thanks 1:53 :]
The referee's won this one for Cleveland.
like cavs fans no nothing about bball we know
A- pistons suck
B- rasheed sux
C- rasheed a whimp
D- anderson is awesome
E- piston fans r jealous
F- anderson is sooooo hotter than sideshow bob
H- pistons fans no nothing

hahahah and u sure as hell dont know the order of the alphabet .. hahahahhaha dumb cavs "fans"
^^HAHAHA that was almost too easy!
Hahaaa!! You really do need to go to school - What the fuck happened to G - didn't you learn your ABCs? And "know" isn't spelled "no." I'm so not impressed, and never will be.
ridin' coattails
haha ok mr/mrs. cavs fan its obvious your time at this site is up .. we're over youuu and soon youll be over the cavssss!
idk whoever that was fergot g oh well we get a good education in ohio unlike michigan
Jealous? Pistons want to earn their win, not have it handed to them on a silver platter. I would never be jealous of that franchise.
Whoo. First time posting since before the game started. I did what I did last year when were in a 2-3 hole: I recorded the game and went to a movie. I came home, got on NBA.com and literally fell to my knees. I couldn't believe it. I had so much confidence and faith that we would win Game 6. Not only did we lose but we lost by 16?! Instant tears, guys. I haven't found the courage to watch it and I don't think I will.
*Kobe to Detroit? HEEELLLL NO! That would make it damn near impossible to watch single game of next season.
*Trade 'Sheed, Tay? Uh-uh. The crazy/funny/unique pieces to this puzzle that Joe D. put together is what makes this team so great. The Pistons without 'Sheed and Tayshaun...don't even want to think about it.
*Fire Flip? I could probably live with that though I don't know if I feel he was the reason Detroit lost. Looks like from the boxscore that we weren't hitting too many shots. Chauncey only took 7? Eek. That spells disaster right there. And what was with the huge rebound disparity?
*What happened in the 1st quarter when 3 players (2 Pistons, 1 Cav) got techs?
*Rip 29 points? I LOVE YOU, RICHARD HAMILTON!
*Like I said, I don't think I have the guts to watch the game so I don't know if it was bullshit calls or non-calls that killed us but I see that we took like 20 less free throws. Curious...
*And anony 1:34: I know beauty is in the eye of the beholder but.. that's messed up! lol
*In response to the Cavs fan who left out the "G"...wow. That's all I have to say about that.
HA who said piston fans are jealous of the cavs?1?!?! shittt id take pistons losing in the first round over being a cavs fan following lebrons ass and his new commerical ANYDAY !!!
Let's not talk MEAP scores, if you even know what that is. This isn't about you anymore. Why don't you write a novel about how bad you were treated as a child, and never got anything you wanted..blah,blah,blah. You're a waste of this pages space.
thanks fer the english lesson
hey piston fans who am i??
i know about basketbal !!!
ABCDEFHIJKLEBRON!!!
CLEVELAND BASKETBALL!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!
u r jealous of the cavs
u know it

"idk whoever that was fergot g oh well we get a good education in ohio unlike michigan"
What?
^^ CLEVELANDDDD JOCKERRRRRRRR (2:06#2)
(2:06#1)- hahahhahahahha i love it
hahha you have no life pal, enjoy your teams success
but be respectful
Stern did fix this series, the refs really showed it. jebron lames is so full of himself it makes me sick, this loser doesn't deserve it. varejao sucks, ugly fucker, go back to brazil and play soccer you freak, go flop there. the new NBA sucks. cleveland does not deserve this because the fans are nothing but bandwagoners. cleveland fans are just jealous of detroit, because they're better at everything than them, including the fans.
CAVS FANS KNOW NOTHING! CAVS SUCK!
CLEVELAND SUCKS! MISTAKE BY THE LAKE IS RIGHT!
DETROIT RULES!
SPURS IN 4!
and he still forgets the G in his ode to LeBron.
I wouldn't want someone who has no heart, but is just in it for the money. We don't need a superstar - good thing he's not one.

^^hahah i must say i like that a lot
OHIO
...'nuff said.
Spurs in 4!!! I see them winning by 20 in every game!
they just said "'nuff"
^^DEFINITELY ENOUGH SAID
Fuck it, Spurs in three
^^haaaaaa i like!
its funny how a whole bunch of you cavs fans bring up his commercials.
that is all he has in his life, and he is in the nba for the money, because he could have been a good football player, but no, he knew basketball players get blown up more.
i bet none of you gave a crap about the cavs until they got this far, and didnt start commenting til the cavs started winning.
FUNNY ISNT IT!
thank goodness for rip hamilton
second time this series he is the only one that had something going,and i realize tay hasnt been as good, but that is no reason to trade him, he has been on the team for 5 years, and all 5 he went to the conference finals, and rasheed needed to flip out, someone had to tell the refs about themselves, but that was nothing compared to the paycheck they are getting from LEBRON.
saying we are crying, or whatever, but unlike you guys we dont walk around with our heads up our A$$es cause we dont have a player that everyone had to give the ball to, and dont even get me started on varajao and ilgauskas
David Stern did sleep good last night knowing that the Pistons lost. I kno he didn't make them play like sh*t, I believe Flip Saunders did. There are only 3 people on the team that should be upset rite now. That's Rip, Dyess & C-Webb. Rip played his heart out and his teammates couldn't back him up. I really believe this series was fixed. It's no way that the Cavs should have shot almost 40 points from the free throw and the Pistons only have 10. I also believe that there will be a new coach on the sidelines because the only thing Flip has brought us is play-off turmoil. Before he came we made it to the Finals back to back and I think Joey D wants to get back to that. As for the Chauncey situation, he wouldn't give heart ache to the Detroit fans like Ben did last year and the franchise is almost built around the back court and if Chauncey left who could fill his shoes? Big Ups to LeBron on making it to the finals, But THEY WILL NOT WIN!! SPURS WILL SWEEP!!!
OHIO yeah good for OHIO 1st thing good in sports besides the buckeyes which the gators owned in both football and basketball
we all have our blonde moments
with that # 3 on da cavs palovice or wat ever him and verajoe or watever those to and then horry and bowen this is gonna be a cheap shot series look 4 alot of Techs
ok how is a game fixed on fts??? makes no sense
??rkr???
