Wake up fuckers! The president ain't being picked today.

I actually think the Pistons could lose this game, then beat SA.

By the way Fool, bitch isn't an option in this poll.

It's the second option.

Well, only because you told me to do it!

Woot, I'll be able to watch this one!

Finally something to talk about other than that crappy Celtic game.

I can see the Pistons mailbag if this is a loss: "Hey Keith, can't we trade for Dirk?"

Peggy (Walled Lake) - Dear Keith, what time is the game tonight?

Wil Ledezma: Keith, do you think there's a chance Chris Webber could play tonight?

Anonymous (WTFDetroit) - Dear Keith, do you think we could bring Stackhouse back to the pistons for Rip and a couple 2nd round picks? With Stuckey starting at the 2 and Stack coming off the bench I could start picking out my spot on the parade route now."

Keith, I traded Tay, Sheed, and a 2nd rounder for Dirk and Diop in NBA2k8. Should the Pistons make this move?

James (Seoul, South Korea): I have three questions. First, what would it take for Lebron James to be interested in playing for the Pistons? Second, what is a double-dribble? Third, how do you provide an algebraic proof for a trigonometric identity without using another trigonometric identity? I eagerly await your response.

Holy cow this is turning into the best thread of 2008. I want to play:


Barb (Bridgeport): I recently attended the Mavericks game and my husband said that the reason the Mavericks are good is because they have a bunch of white players on their team, but they can't win the championship because their coach is black. 2 part question: Will the Pistons win the championship because they have a white coach? And is my husband a flaming racist?

Back on the horse after a loss. Let's kick some ass tonight.

I would love to see Evil Keith respond to all of these questions. Oh, and Barb, the Pistons will not win because they only have two white players and they rarely play.

Barb (Bridgeport): DEER KEIF LANGWAH: UNGA BUNGA ME HATE BROWN TRIBE

Brezec is going off tonight.

I also think "our" guys will rack up some techs, too.

Also, as much as I don't like to admit it, it's pretty clear that Josh Howard was justified with his disbelief that he was making less $ than Tayshaun.

Also II, I'd like to change my vote.

I voted "Maxiell eats Avery by mistake."

It will not be a mistake.

Also, as much as I don't like to admit it, it's pretty clear that Josh Howard was justified with his disbelief that he was making less $ than Tayshaun.

Anyone who disagrees is a homer (and that's not good).

Also, as much as I don't like to admit it, it's pretty clear that Josh Howard was justified with his disbelief that he was making less $ than Tayshaun.

Looking at current salaries and season stats, he's probably right about where he should be.

He ws upset before he got his current contract, though.

LOL

I sounded like a dumbass just laughing at the computer.

No Pistons yet on ESPN....

No Stack in the starting lineup tonight?

Where is Darko?

I don't understand, why isn't he starting for us, e-ray?

I don't know, I heard he was similar to Dirk. Why he's still riding the pine for "us" is beyond me.

Yeah. Get on it Larry, play Darko! He'll fix our interior D and rebounding problems!

"We" are getting shitkicked in the sillygoggins right now.

Dear Keith, I know a guy who can take care of Dirk. Do you have the address to their practice facility?

Haha.

Jon Barry with the no look commentary?

We're getting out-hustled like crazy.


Barry said that just as I finished typing. He's so good.

When did the Mavs get Brandon Bass?

if brandon bass is going to humiliate Jason Maxiell, there's really no point in continuing to watch this game.

the good news is, Boston is getting worked at home against Charlotte.

brandon bass is a pretty highly regarded bench player... by those in the know atleast.

hot rod looked good in the jumper. shaked, baked, recognized the were laying off him so he took his time and squared up. JB claims FS called RS the best PNR player we have. wow.

get stucky 40 tonight.

I've always liked Bass. He's a solid bench contributor. How about Herrmann getting some regular minutes!

AND STUCKEY BLOWS BY EVERYONE FOR THE TWO HANDED JAM!!!!!!!!!

PNR player?

FLip must be really pissed at Max to yank him for Hermann...

Wow. Hermann sucks so far.

Jon Barry just gave a stat - Detroit, lowest % of points in the paint in the league.

Herrmann looking good on defense against Dirk, and then hitting a 3. He's going to need some time to get back to being himself, he hasn't played in a LONG time.

Hermann looking like a 6'9" Jon Barry.

Charlotte 95, Boston 83.

They thought they could rest Allen and get away with it...guess again.

It's a miracle we're only down 5 at the half.

Oh yeah, and give Hermann a lifetime contract. If that guy isn't a Piston, nobody is. He's annoying as fuck and I love it.

Dirk looked like he wanted to fight Hermann at the end of the half. That shit was awesome.

Valter = the Dirk Stopper?

And Boston lost?! This is great!

i like the Herrmannator's tenacity. credit FlipS for keeping him in there while he was making positive contributions.

nice finish going into the half, but i'm really not liking Chauncey's penchant for shooting the ball so much without moving the ball around. i wish FlipS would have kept Stuckey in a little longer.

Just wait until Herrmann gets comfortable in the offensive flow. Then he'll really be a solid bench contributor for us.
I hope.

PNR player?

pick and roll

Flip isnt matching Dallas fresh legs rotation and its killing our starters who were playing super pussified defense. We win this game i'll be happy, and surprised.

I bet I could convince people that Avery and Hunter were the same age.

Also, we're playing like complete crap.

Billups and Hamiltyon on the fast break and what does Billups do? He gives it to Hamilton to drive the hoop. Obviously Hamilton lost the handle and turned it over.

I've seen Rip make some pretty shitty decisions tonight.

this is a game where cbill needs to score a lil more.

OK, so Dirk is held to 0 points in the second with Valter on him... WHY THE FUCK is he benched the whole 3rd?

We score 7 or 9 points in the first 7 minutes of the 3rd... WHY THE FUCK WASNT THE BENCH IN

This is infuriating...

Sheed is playing defense like he doesnt care or is injured. Its been frustrating. I'd rather see him risk the fouls rather than give up a 3 pointer with lil resistance.

we dont rotate our bench at the rate of dallas. none of their starters are petty enough to care about how many minutes they get. We rotate our bench at that rate and the starters outside of sheed and Dyess would pitch a fit.

Flip Saunders.

yup. the starters were lagging and missing shots and we left them in there for the first 8 1/2 minutes. WTF is that about?

flip doesn't seem to understand that if rip is chucking it up and misses a few in a row, it's time to sit him!!!!!!!! especially when we've got more energy and the ability to drive to the hoop sitting on the bench. (stuckey)

hermman should've been in as should stuckey.

sheed and prince should have sat this one out. they are totally out of it and seem to just be going through the motions. i love tay and i rarely criticise him because of what he can do for us. but against a team like this, if he's going to just disappear on offense, i'd rather hayes or hermann in there. tay is killing us. no hustle, no agressiveness, nothing.

sheed makes back to back boneheaded plays. dirk is red hot and sheed leaves him, he isn't within 5 feet of him, on back to back posessions. so of course dirk hits back to back 3's and drives the lead up out of reach.

we had a few days off, and THIS is the best energy level we can get from our starters playing on national TV against a good team? ridiculous.

i don't care if they're allstars or not, billups and especially rip should've sat a lot earlier in this one when they were struggling so bad.

we look pathetic out there right now and are in danger of a 3 game losing streak heading into san antonio tomorrow.

this is getting ugly. we're going to lose this by 20+

not sure what sort of rotation would have stopped this ridiculous shooting % by dallas.

this is getting ugly. we're going to lose this by 20+
Ive had enough

stucky is a goddamn animal. free stucky?

I still say we started going in a funk in the Toronto game, into the Celt game and tonight too.

A team goes through stretches where you can't lose a game if you try and you can't win one no matter what you do. Sparky..."You are going to win 50 games and lose 50 games every year, it's what you do with the other 60 that count"

Keep your eye on the prize.

Ugh. Screw this, I'm going to bed. The rotation that would have stopped it is whatever rotation would have actually played some D, Matt. Not sure who that would be, but I'd have to assume Herrmann playing on Dirk would have been a part of it.

Afflallo's from Compton? I didn't know.

Afflallo's from Compton? I didn't know.

Him and MoTown

Afflallo's from Compton? I didn't know.

according to wikipedia, Afflalo went to Compton Centennial High School

OMG, i forgot juwan howard was on the Mavs.

the little general is probably my favorite coach in the world. if he coached me i'd probably be this:

I wonder if AJ will be a long term Piston?

whenever i watch Herrmann play D, he looks like a tribal hunter looking to kill something with his bare hands....

I took Obama to cover the spread in NH too. I'm on a roll.

not terribly concerned about tonight. The defense was there, for the most part. Dallas just had one of those games where they were hitting a million threes, contested or not.

THat, and our offense was putrid. But the defense was there, so I'm not horrified.

I can't see how you saw the defense as there from the starters. They weren't physical and i saw atleast five 3 pointers that were the result of guys not putting any real effort making a recovery. Outside of Herrmann we defended Dirk horribly.

The offense was putrid because we can't run with Dallas or any other running team for that matter unless we get stops.

whenever i watch Herrmann play D, he looks like a tribal hunter looking to kill something with his bare hands....
he was odd and awkward. but did what all our other bigs outside of maxiell failed to do. Played physical. He's basically a taller version of nocioni, which is something we need in the rotation.

trade for shaq

Rip -9
CB -14
RW -15
TP -15
Dice -19

Valter +12

Flip Saunders +idiot

Keith, do you think we could package Amir, Dyess and our two seconds for this Dirk guy. I haven't heard much about him but he's pretty big and he looked like he would be really great coming off the bench for us. Plus, we need a few more white guys. Look how good that white guy with the pony tail did last night. I guarantee we'd win if we had a team full of white guys with long hair.

I agree, I'm not going to put much stock into the game either. Nobody can beat Dallas when they shoot 72% from downtown so I'm not surprised they lost.

McDyess and Tayshaun need to get out of their slumps soon...it seems like they are becoming liabilites out there when their shots aren't falling.

Maybe they could use a game or two of rest??? McDyess more so than Prince...

Hopefully we can hang w/ the Spurs tonight, they're probably better than Dallas, but I doubt SA shoots 72% from 3 and 56% overall...hopefully our luck will change and we can go into the weekend on a high note...

This game has me so upset that I don't think I will read anything in this forum for the next few days. Really.

Why don't you look again. Who voted for a Dallas win?

The multiple votes option was chosen just for you Mo.

My favorite part of the game was when they interviewed Flip Saunders at half time. When posed with the question about his team's lack of ability to defend anyone he quickly responded that the pistons were getting good shots on offense.

I'm not sure he understands what the word defense actually means.

Also, Barry stated that Flip's strategy to turn around the defense for the second half was to feed the ball Rasheed to try and make Dirk work on defense.

To him offense solves everything. No wonder Rasheed is starting to alienate himself from the coach once again this year.

I'm not sure he understands what the word defense actually means.
He zones out when it comes to defense.

And this is why you're WTF's #1 poster. Fool > EVERYONE.
