Low, your last post is a thing of Wrecktangle beauty. You owe me a Sour Note any day now.

Thank you for another great season!

Trust me, there's one coming...

Just for the record, I was joking about wanting LB back. (Just had to get that off my chest. I didn't want anyone thinking I was an LB fan)

But I do think we should get Sheed a muzzle.

I think we should duct tape an electronic cattle prod to Chauncey with a remote control held by Ben.

Thank you for another great season!

The bench looked great in the 1st round and Flip managed to coax them back into their shells.

AHhhHHHh-Hooooo . . . AhHhHhhh-whoa . . Okay. I've calmed down. I think the other reason (the first being choking) was Flip's fear of shooting a jumper in the fourth quarter. We posted, but position wasn't helping us any. Our guards didn't deliver a single crisp entry pass the entire fourth quarter. I think we need to start using a baseline B-Wall screen on Rip's man, Ben then setting a pic on Rasheed's man (all while Rip's driving to the cup) so the trash-talking lazy transition defense Rashweed can flare. Rip'll either score, choke, charge, deliver a pass that'll get tipped, or . . break his nose. Anderson Veraho-Guarinni's far too aggressive on defense. Rasheed'll be open half the time. Donyell will just stand on the perimeter (on defense). Man. That's one long sentence. I hope we uuck fp LeBron wednesday. Put in Jmax to purposely injure The Chosen One. I was at this game, and . . I'm sick.

Just my thirty-six cents. *Shrug.*

I don't know. I am dejected and shocked as much as the rest of you all. So far and being completely honest about it I am seeing a repeat of the Indy series of last years 2nd round.

Could not hit the side of a barn all 4th quarter - thats why we lost. Yes the Cavs got some calls. We held them to 74 points.. Defensivly what do you want?

Pistons went 8 mins in the late 3rd/early 4th without a field goal. Had chance afer chance to hit a dang shot and put the Cavs away in crunch time. No points at all in the Final 3 minutes!!! Can you believe that $@#$@. Was there any points scored? I do not remember any. Hit a dang shot. Whats so hard about it? All these great players and shot after shot after shot - clank...

Even had a sequence when Ben grabbed an offensive board and fed Rip for a point blank 1 foot shot - and he missed...

You can't make a shot in crunch time in a close game and you will not win no matter what the refs are doing..

Same old Same old. Lets at least win game #5 and avoid a repeat of the 04 NJ series.

Stern loves us because we always give the other team hope. Keeps the fans involved you know.

I'm very glad that we lost tonight. Losing tonite was probably the best thing that could have happen to us cause now we will know that we are not invincible and I hope and feel that we will respond. I think that we can all agree that this team got way to big for its britches. With the great start, the fantastic open offense, the four all-stars, and the franchise record we have lost all sense of who we are and what got us this kind of success. All of our starters need to come down to earth and admit to themselves that they actually have to play hard to win. I think that we all can agree that we are very talented and can beat anyone in the league. What has happened is that we have somehow started to feel that we cannot be beat, which is not true at all as far as far as i'm concered. This team needs to sit down and look at themselves in the mirror and really try to find that hunger that made/makes us great. Which Detroit will show up, we shall see.

we are getting dogged on the national news too...Sheed looks like a sissyI'm looking at our defensive stats and I still cant see how we lost vs Cavs defense? James ,,,8-23 FG...5-10 FT...8 turnovers!!!!!!!I aint sleeping well tonight cuz I dont get Chauncey sometimes and they got Ben nothing. I really feel like he'll be leaving rather than play for Flip. ...sigh! sad boy...need cowbell...............we gettin dogged on National news too!

The bench is sucking big time. Nothing from Dice, Delk or Hunter.

7 TO's in the 4th qtr. Pistons making La Bron look like a 5 year pro and Verejon an allstar.

Hamilton is the only player showing up but unfortunately he missed his last two shots.

Sheed goes down the beginning 2nd and stays in there and commits 3 TO's and misses 10 shots. Flip left him in there to guarantee his promise and it backfires.

Some negative key plays:
CB driving over Verajon...does he know how to drive from the right side of the hoop?

Tay was on with the shots when he was backing LBJ down, but went away from that in the 4th.

The 12-1 run by the Cavs to start the 4th was a killer.

First time we have won the battle of the paint 36-32 and lost from the 3 pt arc...5 to 4. four 3 pt makes!@&*(&)

We need to respect these guys a little and not take it for granted that we will win at the end, because that has not worked at all. take care of business and blow it out in the beginning. Even in the post game interviews they didn't seem concerned...I am, because I thought this was a 4-1 series now it looks like 6 or 7, with the Heat getting a possible 4 day rest.

If we cannot score more than 80 pts a game, then we don't need to advance. (the wiz scored an average of 100 pts...where did this cavs defense come from?) Now we have given the Cavs more rope and confidence and it is a MUST game for us Wednesday
