Is Dice available to play? Do you start him if he is or shake things up from the get go and get either Theo or Max in the starting line up?

What exactly does Pistons "DNA" stand for in this context?

Delusional Numskull Arrogance?

If so, I must agree with you.

Didn't get to see Games 2 or 3 but probably a good thing. I can imagine being all, 'yeah, back on track' after Game 2 and thinking we're back on. But then I can sympathise with all you guys after another debacle in Game 3.

Maybe it should be 'Deeee-bacle Basketball!!!'

I don't really buy the arguments that this is a bad matchup for us. If we're more talented and the only way we can be beaten is by lack of energy, then that to me is a STEAMING PILE OF BS!

There is no excuse, none, for not playing with energy, focus and determination at playoff time. As we've heard from Joe in interviews this season, 'If you don't come to play, 100% every game, you're out'.

We'll just see if he keeps good on his promise after the season ends.

Timing has been bad on my part in seeing the Pistons this season. I would have loved to have done this trip in 04 or 05. But my apathy began last season and I'm afraid like some of you that it probably won't change until there are some personnel changes.

Slippy, you should change the counter to 'losses before flip is fired' like Low said. And Low, you need to update your signature.

That is all.

Don't care. Game 3 made me apathetic. Any team that does not play w/ focus and intensity does not deserve the fans respect. Joe and this current crop of Pistons have had a wonderful run but I do not respect this attitude of showing up and thinking things will happen, or we know what to do. It's been going on too long and the coach and Joe have not nipped it in the bud.

I had a dream last night that the Pistons lost this series 4-1. For that to happen that would mean Philly would win the series at The Palace in game 5.

Now that would be ugly...................

Don't worry about that. We will win Game 4!


























If AA/Amir play j/k sorta

Seriously though, if that happens, Chuck Daly starts pulling Flip's strings, and our players try really hard, it could happen!

Seriously though. I really hope Amir gets the nod over Ratliff. But I can totally see Theo getting the nod and screwing things up. Pistons should still win anyway.

To me the key of this game is that Billups has to step up. He has been making these excuses and its time for him to do something out there.

Agreed on both counts

Yep. He has done nothing this series averaging 13 and 4 on 30% shooting. Craptastic.
