Brother, I could go ON and On and On. Ive forgotten more Piston games than some will ever know. But win or lose..I HAVE no doubt IN MY MIND that this is a PISTONS FAN FORUM. Me and roscoe disagree, but I love him. The Low and lee356 disagree and they have a beautiful marraige. Gazoo and PCF have pretty green babies. We may not all agree...but we will always be fans...

Where were you on the night of this game..

DETROIT 186, DENVR 184 ??????

Its funny that you mentioned that game. First thing that you have to realize old skool is that i'm only 29 years of age. So for me to watch that game and truly understand everything that is going on would have been a marvel. Second I have seen that game on espn classic many times, and I belive it went 3 overtimes and Zeke had something like 45 pts and 15 assists(could be wrong about the assists). I have been a die-hard Piston fan since 1986 when I started to really get into basketball and have had the amazing opportunity to see us win big games and lose them also. I have seen us win titles and lose them also. Like you I have had sleeplessness nights pondering how we could won some of those games and days of euphoria after we were victorious. I am not questioning your loyalty old skool, but the series is only tied and just because we lost last night doesnt mean that the basketball world as we know it is gonna end. You have to support your team no matter what, its what "true" fans do.

Marv is also a guy who specializes in calling the play wrong, then saying "oh now they've changed to call to..." implying that the refs changed their minds when in reality he just lost track because he was looking around the first couple of rows for someone to bite.

We made more baskets, got more rebounds (way more offensive), and broke even on the turnovers. Free throws were the difference. Pretty good performance on the road.

Win with jumpers, lose with jumpers.

Scoreboard, nothing else matters except not having injuries.

Well guess what? The Cavs were the team to step up last night, which negated anything the Pistons brought to the table. All they did though was hold serve. All anybody has done is win at home. They deserve all the credit for winning two games in a row in the 4th quarter. Normally, the 4th is reserved for the Detroit Pistons against weaker opponents. This Cavs team thinks their in a competitive series. It's time the Detroit Pistons start thinking the same way. We're way better than we've been playing. But until the Detroit Pistons start taking the Cavs seriously, we will be behind the 8 ball. I've been calling them the "Detroit Pistons" cause this is a "Pistons Forum" and we must rally behind these guys. There will be plenty of time after the season to contemplate any moves you want, based on their FINAL results. If this were a chess match boys and girls...........look...........there are still pieces on the board to be played. Not a good idea to critize so EXTENSIVELY, when the playoffs are still going on for the Detroit Pistons. I see a Pistons victory in SIX GAMES. We will head back to Cleveland after a game 5 victory and hand those boys their @$$#@% in front of their home crowd.

Go Pistons !!!!!!!

Please change your avatar, I want to punch Webber in the face for about 2 hours straight right now.

"Let's win a title for Chris..." Hey Chris how about you get off your fat ass and win a game this series, you should still be able win 1 game basically by yourself.

The only starter without a foul? Lebron. What a clean game he played. I'm really impressed.

I'm telling y'all, we did a lot of things right this game.

Shooting: Pistons made 28 2-pointers and 3 3-pointers for 65 points.
While the Cavs made 26 2's and 4 3's for 64 points. Adv Pistons.

Rebounding: We seemed to get everything. 40 rebounds and 10 offensive for us. Cavs had 34 with 3 offensive. This is their biggest strength and we negated it. Adv Pistons.

Assists: 16 to 16. Push.

Steals: 8 to 7 Cavs.

Blocked Shots: 6 to 1 in favor of the Pistons.

What did they do better than us? Lebron had 4 buckets in the paint and he shot 4-13 on jumpers. We can live with that. Chauncey had about as many points and actually outrebounded LBJ.

Final word: If Webber isn't going to give us anything but bricks, let's start Dale Davis.

There is a risk CWebb would just go south and bail on the rest of the playoffs, but I think you got to risk it. DD or JMax starts and Dice comes in.
