Game 6 At Chicago May 17th, (time) TBD, ESPN - Page 2 - Detroit Pistons Fan Community

The absolute key to this game is to keep it close (or have a large lead, I'm ok with that

) in crunch time, because that is when we've seen Chicago's youth be their downfall.

Gotta keep it close then use our execution to get a slim lead and start the Chauncey/Rip FT contest and put the screws to them. The Bulls and their fans get anxious when the game is close in 2nd and 3rd let alone in crunch time.

Let's put these sob's away.

And, of course, not be excited or worried about any of it.
Maybe they are just that laidback. Or maybe they are just arrogant. Or just ignorant of anything outside their locker room, their own doings.
The Pistons are fascinatingly myopic, a confounding carefree team. Nothing rattles them. Not good nor bad; not fearsome foe nor overmatched one. They are more likely to win on the road down 3-1 in a series, than at home up 3-0".

I believe it's the Piston's way of thumbing their collective noses at the rest of the NBA.........Most of our players had to ARRIVE here before they became recognized stars. Like Isiah did, they crave to be top ten players in the league, but instead, just draw attention to themselves with this style of play..............

Agreed, 100%. Even in these last two games we have turned up the intensity in the 3rd and fourth quarters. In game 4 it wasn't enough, in game 5, it REALLY wasn't enough. If we can get to that point without being down by 20, we can put them away.
My mantra is changing from GO PISTONS to PLEASE GO PISTONS!!!

They'll win tonight. Same ole' Pistons...lose interest over time and then battle to a victory when you begin to lose faith. They play better on the road anyway. Ben comes off looking a lil' better in the series than he would have if we swept Chi 4-0 and the Pistons move on to the next round. This will work out just fine, folks.

So far in this series, Big Ben Corns 0-3, Big Ben Afros 2-0.

Let's break this jinx!!!

If and when we win tonite the Pistons can save some serious face. They have to feel good about the fact that Cleveland could not put away NJ, and has to play a game 6 in NJ. The rest factor is no longer an issue if and when we win tonite. LETS GET R DONE TONITE.
PLEASE LETS GO PISTONS

Play On, Players · #18 (**permalink**) 05-17-2007, 03:52 PM

This is about making your fans proud.
This is about doing it as a team.
This is about getting McDyess a 'Ship.
This is about achieving Chris Webber's dream.

This is about searching within yourselves.
This is about reaching for the sky.
This is about knocking down the enemy.
This is about hoisting that cup up high.

This is about going through adversity.
This is about shedding blood, sweat, and tears.
This is about standing up when you fall.
This is about facing any and all fears.

This is about silencing the critics.
This is about winning without Big Ben.
This is about taking back what's yours.
This is about being champions again.

This is about you, Detroit.
IT'S TIME.

Lets just win and put everything behind us and move on. Too many people are feeling nervous because of Pistons unpredictability. It is a plus that Cavs have to play at least one more. However, we have to make it count by winning tonight.

Pretty please?
