Ben could always "goose" him. The only problem is, his hand might get swallowed up in the fatty expanse that is Shaq's humungous rump.

Thank you for another great season!

Looks like another nail biter game. I have confidence in this team, I hope they do too. Their offense isn't going well so far, come on Pistons!!!

how does flip just stand there and watch the lead grow to 10 without calling a timeout.

Once again Lindsey Hunter's decision-making was notably better than Chauncey's, except for 5-6 plays at the beginning of the third quarter. Lindsey was faster than Chauncey at initiating the offense, and actually got the ball to the wings and post in positions where they could make plays or score instead of make turnovers and throw up fadeaways.

I have nothing but good things to say about Dale Davis. A hard foul on Wade - I could kiss the man.

The Pistons' team defense was abominable throughout, and the times Flip went to zone to bail them out made me sick.

But, and this "but" was the nail in the coffin, that fifth foul on Rasheed was absolute, complete, %%%%ed-in-the-ass by the NBA, unmitigated goddamn bull%%%%.

I'm sure there's more, but I don't have the stomach to go into it just now. This team is well and truly done.

It's commonly referred to as "The deer caught in the headlights" syndrome.

Flip stinks as a coach maybe they can get Laimbeer next season. The best thing he did was go to the zone in the 3rd and the Pistons took the lead so what does he do then, go back to man to man. To many Pistons were affraid to shoot the ball, Ben all the time and even Rip on the break against Shack. Take it right to him and make him foul. I can't stand to watch them anymore. Where is Elden? Why didn't Joe bring him back this year?

A comeback being 3-1 down against the Heat while possible is not realistic. Looks like the Pistons will be heading for an early offseason. Not really upset like previous game. The writing was on the wall for this team and coach. Flip doesn't have the respect of his players and the players themselves forgot how to execute. God, I hope this team is not a one hit wonder. Everything is measured in championships.

I remember back to a year ago, when we were calling out LB for being out coached, not making the right subs at the right time and for having such a stagnant offense.



Well, look what difference a year has made. LB is long gone and Flip is being out coached, is making bad/no subs and our O is vomit inducing.

The only difference is that LB knew when to take a time out, and when he did, our next possesion was almost always automatic points.

I guess all those assumptions about Flip Saunders is correct. He is an excellent regular season coach, lousy at playoff coaching that involves game to game adjustments and establishing a good player rotation.

There is a co-worker who repeatedly said that when it comes down to it the Pistons will miss LB. He said this even when the Pistons looked like world beaters during the regular season. I thought he was nuts.

I have to face this guy tomorrow morning. Is he a freakin prophet or what, I might ask him what the lotto numbers will be this week.

Well after saying that I still believe this series will go 7 games, only God knows what will happen in that 7th game. I know for a fact it will not be over in game 5 at The Palace. If it does end in game 5 Joe D should fire Flip during the post game interview and start shopping CB immediately.

It seems CB and Flip were the only ones on the same page. Overall Chancey`s play and Flip`s coaching caused turmoil on the court, resulting in confusion and controversy.

I will watch the NBA Playoffs until the Pistons are eliminated and then my basketball season will be over.

I just received a new `78 Throwback Piston Jersey, I am embarrased to wear it at the moment.
