DON'T NUTHIN INCLUDE MELO!

The toughest opponent for the Pistons is always themselves.

I can always count on Fool to find the mistake before I fix it.

Come on Pistons, win one in front of me. I was glad to see the blowout yesterday, saving the starters from some tired legs tonight. I hope to see Sheed posting up Gaymart all night and Billups abusing AI/Ellis in the paint also. The key to this game is stopping their guards from penetrating. Billups and RIP need to post early and get them in foul trouble IMO.

FEAR JR SMITH

Did you guys know that in June 2003, when the Pistons had the #2 pick, Carmelo Anthony was still on the board?

I just wanted to let you guys know, just in case you hadn't heard.

"Shoulda taken Melo."

Nice call, Mo.

I've been playing ball with a couple friends from the Denver area all year, and both think the Melos are good enough to win a championship. Here's hoping we drop a 30 point loss on 'em to show 'em who's boss.

Final score prediction: 116 - 84

I remember that draft, it went something like this:

1) Jordan light, hometown hero for Cavs
2) The next KG, Cavs should take them but they'll overlook him
3) Some ball hog SF that isn't a complete player like Tay
4) Undersized center that is physically weak
5) Tweener guard that doesn't have a true position
6) slow center that played against weak competition


BTW, go back and read some of the comments on Darko and our other options here (click on their names):

darko was inevitable. no way out of that pick since i didnt want melo on our team.

But instead of delfino we shoulda drafted josh howard.

I have no doubt in my mind that LB would have had Melo in line. If not, just dump him for picks. Since Melo has serious game, I'm sure we would have gotten more for him than Darko.

Redoing that draft, I'd take Bosh and one of the following:
Barbosa - Solid backup slasher PG
Howard - wishes he was Tayshaun, I believe his thing was "Disrespected" but I can't remember
Kapono - Excellent shooter, pure scoring off the bench
Mo Williams - Solid backup PG that could eventually be Billups successor

I'd like to see Rasheed play like he did yesterday, but he probably won't.

I think I need to go bump that 200 page Maciej Lampe appreciation thread on the NYK board at RGM.

I'm keeping a list. A list of everyone who still brings up the 2003 draft. If I ever go postal you're all going down.

Pistons in a blowout.

But instead of delfino we shoulda drafted leandrinho barbosa.

Ficksed.

We should've drafted LeBron.

Damn you Cleveland.

We should've drafted LeBron.

Damn you Cleveland.



Do you know if he even came to Detroit for a pre-draft workout?? I'd like to see a list of the guys who we worked out prior to that draft.

I can't imagine Darko was THAT impressive compared to guys like Chris Bosh or even the buffer state Mike Sweetney...

LeBron didn't work out for anyone, I don't think. The Cavs knew they were drafting him the instant they got the #1 pick.

Looks like this is going to be a great game.

Pistons playing pretty well so far. GREAT fast break after the steal by Billups. Nothing flashy, but they did exactly what they needed to do.

I just noticed Camby doesn't even jump when he shoots.

I love watching Carmelo play.

I just noticed Camby doesn't even jump when he shoots.
Probably why Max just blocked him straight up.

Brother Tayshaun having a good one.

Very entertaining first quarter.

If Denver gives up 118 or more yet again tonight, Screamin' A better reconsider picking them to win the West.

JR Smith...weren't we supposed to trade Flip for him?

Glad we didn't. 60% of his shots are from downtown. It'd be like a second Jarvis Hayes.

Better than letting Flip go for nothing (even though he sucked).

Very true, but I think we'd have let JR go for nothing to sign DD if we'd made that trade. Someone had to go to clear that roster spot.

I'd take a bench with JR and Dixon over Flip and Primoz any day.

We still need a big like Dale though, so you're right about that...

Why aren't we winning by 15?

Why isn't Karl coaching the Nuggets tonight?

Stuckeybuns with the deuce.

I'd like to see Rasheed play like he did yesterday, but he probably won't.

As much as I enjoy the pace of this one, they need to stop taking quick shots and bailing Denver's "defense" out.

LOL@ sheed having to remind Jarvis of where he was supposed to be yelling "high Jarvis! High Jarvis!"...


Also Hayes still sucks on defense. :(

Looks like one of those...hang around till the end and try to win it, games.

JR Smith...weren't we supposed to trade Flip for him?
I dont care for his chucking tendencies, but he is better than flip.

lol, JR Smith is 3/10 from 3.

Chauncey just absolutely schooled the Camby Man.

Should be cigar time

eray you from Canada? I'm thinking of a name

this is our game as long as we don't do anything stupid.

eray you from Canada? I'm thinking of a name

ehray?

eray you from Canada? I'm thinking of a name

No.

We didn't need Tay taking a shot from the top of the key there

hey eh, not bad SDB

Well where are you from? Detroit?

JR fouled on the 3 attempt, ouch.

Sheed seems to miss thosej

and a friggin foul holy shit

I'd stand as close to him as I could and rip the biggest fart I could

Allen Iverson to the line, he's been perfect there so far. Ahhh, he missed! I jinxed him; good!

Hilarious!

Foul? Foul?! FOUL?!! No, you've got to be joking.

Sheed seems to miss thosej


All the time.

Fart tactics always work.

Mark Champion = my hero. He's jinxed them twice now, seriously.

I don't know why they always run those plays for Sheed. He never makes those shots. Yeah he's usually open, but that doesn't even matter...

Was that WTFChris we just saw? Long hair, beard, John Deere hat, jeans jacket with a cheek full of chew?

Joey Crawford is disappointed to see the Pistons are going to win.

I'm surprised this was only a 98-93 game, after it appeared at the start it was going to be in the 100s.

Good to win the first 2 cuz we'll prolly lose in Utah, right?

Losing to Utah is a given.

So, is "Pistons win" even a possibility for the OGT Poll?

So I realized tonight that I'm going to be near LA Saturday when the Pistons play the Clippers, yet I'm not going to be able to go to the game. What a wasted opportunity.

shouldn't be.

we haven't beat the jazz since they were the new orleans jazz. or at least it seems that way.

Losing to Utah is a given.



No doubt. The curse of Memo...

Joey Crawford lets us play some D. Other refs would make Tayshaun throw his hands up the air (and wave 'em like he just don't care. Long hair.)


Chauncey almost fucked it up. Wanted to wipe that shit-eating grin off his face if JR made all 3 FTs.

Stretching the page, fucker.

I think I need to go bump that 200 page Maciej Lampe appreciation thread on the NYK board at RGM.

Just realized that this was my 2000th post.

Yep, sounds about right.

Moved stuff to the Here It Comes Thread (http://wtfdetroit.com/forums/showthread.php?t=11691), hope noone minds...

That was a fun game to attend. AA and RIP did a pretty good job on AI for the most part. Stuckey shot well, but those passes were terrible. He just looks like he's pressing too much to make a play. I knew JR would choke on those FT's. I liked how Melo and Gaymart were whining at the officials all night.

Did the camera catch him tripping and falling on the breakaway? That was pretty funny.
