Enough of you.

I just checked. You've had 30 posts all year. 10 of them probably came this evening. You're just here trying to irritate people.

Trollish, in my opinion. I guess that's why you named yourself mucous. Enjoy your evening.

Joe gambled with our bench and didn't adjust last summer when he could have got a decent return for Darko. (the rumored Al Harrington trade offer)

Flip didn't know the bench so he only went with the guys he recognized from the finals. We second guessed him all year on his lack of bench play. They weren't ready and it looks like our starters finally ran out of gas. Only 80 point average and less than 40% shooting is not going to win many series.

Joe will adjust, but at least one starter and Delk, Mo, Davis, cato, and Hunter are history

I'm just dealing this loss from an apathetic stand-point. I'm no troll. All my posts made tonight make sense.

I'm disappointed, especially with all of the expectations coming into this year. This loss may signal a return to some tougher times, or it may be a chance for the organization to honestly reevaluate needs, position by position.

One concern is that we will not be able to honestly evaluate the coaching staff because of our recent history there. Another is that Joe may be very limited in terms of roster changes/additions.

In the end, I trust that Joe will make the best decisions for the franchise and try to get us ready for a run next year.

I'll be there every step of the way.

Hey when you're at the bottom, there's no where to look but up.

In your case...What about when you ARE the bottom?

If you'd like to help, let's not respond to trolls.

I knew it was over when they showed a graphic comparing MJ's and D-Wade's "Flu Stats".

[Darth Tater]

Well, they didn't play the way we hoped they would, but they went out with some class:

"Miami played great," Hamilton said. "They deserved it."
And the proud Pistons weren't shy about showing their respect to the new East champs. Rasheed Wallace hugged several Miami players before leaving the court, and Tayshaun Prince said "Miami was definitely the better team."
"I don't want to make excuses," Pistons guard Chauncey Billups said. "They flat-out beat us."

We have to stop this troll talk. A troll is someone who posts nonsense because they do not know any better. A troll is the guy who watched his 1st complete Piston game in the 04 playoffs and drove around with Piston flags on his min-van.

A troll is not someone who appreciates the team but also sees problems with the way the team has played this post-season.
