KG with an offensive foul on Rasheed....No call!

We HAVE to win Game 5.

It'll be a knock down, drag out, me thinks

I agree with Tahoe/Kstat.

We HAVE to win Game 5.

5 on 8

It'll be a knock down, drag out, me thinks

An exciting 73-70 contest.

subtract him, we fucked

KG with an offensive foul on Rasheed....No call!
yea, he always uses the off arm on that shot.

finally- we put some distance between us and them. game, set, match. series tied at 2-2.

game MVPs:

dice
rip
j-max

that's about it. without those guys, this is a blowout loss.

we need to play a lot better and have some halfway decent officiating in game 5 if we want to have any chance.

hayes hit a 3! amazing!

An exciting 73-70 contest.

Lotsa cursin and swearin and foul callin and all that

Any interesting stats from this game?

Thank fuckin' Danza this one is over.

Any interesting stats from this game?

me thinks someone is going to post sompin about FTs

WTF? no 'yes sir!' from rip in the postgame interview......?

Man I do not want to be the Pistons on TD Banknorth in a Game 7. The refs will royally screw our buttholes if that happens. Win it in 6...

here's one semi-interesting stat from game 4: this is the first game where the team who won the opening tipoff has gone on to lose the game.

WTF? no 'yes sir!' from rip in the postgame interview......?

Tafoya was armed with a machette this time.

here's one semi-interesting stat from game 4: this is the first game where the team who won the opening tipoff has gone on to lose the game.

I'm trying really hard to buy into this thing, but I don't do superstitious (sp?)

Flip just said what I was thinking during the game...

The refs fuck up when they aren't CONSISTENT. He didn't say that but kind of like it.

The refs called tonights game way WAY different then they did any other game I've seen this year with us.

I can't wait to hear what Doc Rivers has to say.

5 blocks for Rasheed.

Celtics made 11 more FTs than FGs.

Billups only had 10? Ouch!

I'm waiting for Celts FT %

Celtics made 11 more FTs than FGs.

And FTs accounted for almost half their point total.

FGs:

21-66
31.8%

NVM...i thought that was FTs

I think that's FG SDB. They shot 82% from the line I think.

Yes, that's FG, even though it did feel like they got to the line 66 times.

Celtics never led. Once we got the lead, our defense kept it that way.

Game 5 will be tough...

why does doc look like someone socked him in the face?

Tough is an understatement with shark-toothed zebras...

Notes:

Pistons vs. Refs 1-0

Maxiell came up HUGE. He'll get some more time next game fo sho.

Rip played smart ball tonight.

Chauncey's game is obviously in the shitter right now either because of the hamstring or because of whatever usually happens to his game. The rest of the team is covering for him incredibly well.

LOL @ Jarvis' 3-pointer in garbage time.

Can I say enough fantastic things about McDyess? What a game. What a player.

Yes, that's FG, even though it did feel like they got to the line 66 times.

I believed it

yeah i'm not into superstitions either- it's bad luck to be superstitious.


I'm trying really hard to buy into this thing, but I don't do superstitious (sp?)

i'm glad that while billups stunk for most of this game, he did hit a crucial 3 down the stretch. i think while his hammy might still be bothering him, his main problem now is that he's still yet to recapture his conditioning.

well maybe not that so much. but he has not yet found his rhythm yet. that is crucial to a shooter and once you lose that it takes a long time to get it back. once he hits his rhythm again, he'll be fine. right now he's overthinking things too because his shot is not falling.

hopefully he can be big for us in game 5 because we'll need it. this game was a huge struggle, against the refs as much as the celtics.

but if they keep calling the game like this, we'll need to finda way to stay out of foul trouble. having rip, sheed, dice, and pretty much everyone else who played, in foul trouble for large portions of the game KILLED us tonight.

i'm so glad we were able to win in spite of the officiating. i fear though that we'll be blown out in boston if they keep this crap up.

Can I say enough fantastic things about McDyess? What a game. What a player.


I like how Mitch Albom put it the other day about his motivation. We always talk about hoping for a player to get a ring and McDyess absolutely deserves one. I still remember that shot he hit 3 years ago against the Spurs and starts shouting and high-fiving the crowd.

Yeah... I want to win more and more just b/c of Dyess. Seeing him put in that kind of effort every day is great to watch.

I still remember that shot he hit 3 years ago against the Spurs and starts shouting and high-fiving the crowd.

I remember that too. And I also agree that he definitely deserves a ring.

You know who I think is really important kind of behind the scenes is Dice. I mean we don't have that dominant center so when Stuck drives down there and gets caught, he can dish to Dice for a 12 footer. And it becoming increasingly important, imo for him to knock that shot down.

Rip and Dice do their dance too. Where Rip dishes to him.

If Dice plays like shit, I'm not sure we win these things.

Cogent :)

Oh Dice takin a nice lil swat at the team about excuses. 100% correct though.

I'm thinkin Max don't like the media. He cracks me up.

nothing in the world would make me happier than seeing dice raise the MVP trophy of the finals. well......i guess jessica alba giving me a BJ and then fixing me a sandwich would top that. but it would be real nice to see that first thing happen. what was it i said again....?

j-max doesn't 'sheed wallace: "both teams played hard"' dislike the media. but you're right- i think he definitely shies away from it.


I'm thinkin Max don't like the media. He cracks me up.

As bad as Jalen Rose is as an analyst, Damon Jones is worse.

I agree. The M&Ms thing was cute, but...

Also, just got three tickets for Friday's game. Happy early birthday to me!

I loved it when Damon was blatantly ignoring ESPN's arrows during the highlight clips and just talking about his own thing.

Bwahahahaha @ that crack that Matt Winer dude made on Damon.

"Isn't the entire league your ex teammate?"

He said something like that.

I laughed even harder when he said Ira Newble is a great player. Tool.

Damon's somehow proud of being a journeyman that nobody really wants.

Damon's somehow proud of being a journeyman that nobody really wants.
Wouldn't you ?

Dice coulda done more damage but he had 3 to end out the first half. we need this kinda performance from him everyday and fuck a 39 free throws

Thanks to Hayes for a nice big LOL when he stepped into the game.
Air balls are great to watch...

As for the reffing, to me it seemed really bad and one-sided. Is this just a case of me ignoring the bad fouls that Boston got, or was it an atrocity all round?

It was nice to see the Pistons erupt last night.

Dice was just incredible. (21 & 16!!)

Chauncey seemed better than game 3, for sure, but as with most leg injuries, it really effected his jumpers.

Not one of Stuckey's best games, IMO.

Not often you see a game where both teams only combine to make 3 threes.

If we get 13 more FTs than they do in Game 5, we should be good.

And no, I'm not counting on that.

I don't feel like reading all 400 of last nights posts, so here's a thought:

Not to put a damper on the mood, but Boston gets away with a lot, especially on the offensive end. Cassell and Ray-Ray love to use that off arm, and I have yet to see it called. Garnett uses that shoulder to get space (much like Dwight Howard), and he gets foul calls when he goes out of control. The Pistons have been getting everything called on the other end, especially when they're being held. It seems like two different sets of rules to me.

Still, it hasn't been that significant in the final score, except the Pistons should have won by about 40 yesterday.

Yeah we've all been bitching about that...

The reffing was incredibly awful last night. Good to see the P's overcome the league's predestination.

I didn't see a whole lot of the game last night. I watched the Wings and flipped back to the Pistons on breaks. That block on KG was sick though.

TRUE OR FALSE?


If the Pistons win Game 5, there is no way that they will lose this series.

False.

This may seem crazy, and I don't really care. If the Refs are indeed trying to screw us, and I think it's god damn certain at this point. IN game 6 we should shoot 25 three pointers and have the chips fall where they may. Going to the lane is only going to result in non calls or offensive fouls. Boston is going to be given authority to molest us. They won't even see it coming...

http://www.need4sheed.com/images/may_26_08_maxiell.jpg

I admit I'm a Detroit homer and not too bright, but after reading tons of articles all day today about the game, not one writer has come out and said that the officiating was awful. You get a lot of these "Boston was able to remain close in the first half thanks to 827898 attempts at the line versus Detroit's two" but nothing flat-out saying how bad it was.

In response to Glenn, I say TRUE. I don't like the "no way" language, but I can't bet against the Pistons to lose a series with a 3-2 lead. They haven't done it yet in this run they've had, and I don't think they're about to do it now.

My only concern at this point is that we'll come out flat in the first 5 minutes of game 5 and dig an 8 point hole again. I believe that the effort will be there, but the shooting and quick defensive rotations may not be. We were able to win last night largely because of forced turnovers, active hands in the passing lanes, and good digging on the post from our guards. If we can do those things we should be in good position to win game 5.

Rob Parker mentioned this in one of his articles this morning: this series looks a lot like the Indiana series in 2004. We split the first two, split the second two, stole game 5 in Indiana, and wrapped things up at home in game 6. I really have a feeling that could happen again this year. If we come out strong and don't let Boston get a load of confidence right away, we can definitely win the game.

Regardless, I don't think there's a chance that we lose a game 6. None.

[Disclaimer: This is assuming that all players make it to the game and play. If something unforeseen occurs, all bets are off.]

With the way this series has gone, if the Pistons don't yet realize that getting to aggressive intense starts is the key to winning, then they don't deserve to go to the Finals period. Starting out flat would be unconscionable at this point.

I don't see how you can come out flat knowing you have to win another game in Boston. Maybe if you knew you could simply hold serve, but that isn't the case.

don't know where you were reading but i've seen and heard plenty of people talking about last night's (poor) officiating.



http://www.mlive.com/pistons/index.ssf/2008/05/detroit_pistons_94_boston_celt.html

here's one semi-interesting stat from game 4: this is the first game where the team who won the opening tipoff has gone on to lose the game.
I bet we'd have better luck winning the tap with Maxiell or McDyess jumping it up. My sense is that Rasheed doesn't give a fuck about the opening tap, which is why we lose it so often.

^^ Yeah I used to give a quick 'woohoo' when we won the tip, but with Sheed jumping for it I don't care anymore and am fine with the fact that we won't win it. I wonder if that has anything to do with us generally killing teams in the 3rd these last 2 years.

swami, mind if I borrow that sig?

nice story on dice:

http://www.sportsline.com/nba/story/10843569

It seriously looks like Sheed intentionally taps the ball to the opponent.

How does that work? I'm having a brain cramp. If you lose the tip you still get the ball in the 2nd and 4th?

I guess what I'm saying is does it really matter who wins the opening tip?

You get the ball to open the 2nd and 3rd if you lose the tip.

So you're really wanting to win the tip so that you get the ball in the 4th.

BFD!

no. it doesn't matter one single bit who wins the opening tip IMO. i was just throwing out pointless stats.

even if it's a close game that comes down to one posession, i don't think who started the quarter with the ball 12 minutes earlier really matters.

It certainly helps, especially if the team that ends the 3rd with a basket starts the 4th off with posession.

^ I know you weren't saying was some big deal, I was just thinking about the opening tip for the first time in a bazillion years...and it dawned on me (with Docs help) the opening tip don't mean SQUAT!

Unless...if the team that ends the 3rd with a basket starts the 4th off with posession. :)

i don't think it makes that big a difference at all. think of the number of posessions that take place in the 4th quarter. i hardly think the opening posession has THAT much significance.

nothing can happen in one posession to start the 4th that can affect the rest of the entire quarter that much. even if you ended the 3rd quarter with momentum in your favor.

the fact we're even having this discussion shows how crazy we're all going waiting for game 5 to start.

So...there's this.

As heard on Sean B's show, I love the idea of the entire team coming out and warming up in them

Not my best work, but fuck it...

Tonight we're going to see what these boys are really made up of... if they're 04 and 05 Pistons, or 06 and 07 Pistons.
This is a game we absolutely should win if we're champions. In evenly contested series', Games 3 and 5 completely turn the series.

If they can't come out with energy and intensity for THIS, then they are pussies who should be broken up this offseason.

I'm feeling good about tonight, I don't know why. I just feel like that if we don't get off to a terrible first five minutes of the game, then we're going to be fine. In the first and third games it took us awhile to get our first bucket, and even though we later had the leads in both games, it just gave me that sense that we weren't going to dictate the final outcome...

no bavetta (league conspiracy guy) or dan crawford (hates the Pistons) good stuff.

On cable here, the station that's going to carry the game is first showing a Piston Celtics game from 84-85 and then an hour long special on Bill Laimbeer right before the game. I'm watching the classic game right now. Isiah's number in this game is 42 and his name isn't on the jersey. Anyone know or remember the story why?

Spain > United States

I'm going out for a run and hope to be back in time for the start of the game, maybe a bit late, though. I expect to see Billups and Tayshaun back to their usual scoring ways this game.

I don't.

Has anyone seen any quotes or heard any audio from the Pistons players/coaches about those "Celtics ECF Champs" t-shirts?

SCALABRINE ACTIVE

NOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOO

^^Shit.

Should I drop the sig?

Bill Laimbeer - “The era that I grew up was very intense competition,” says Bill Laimbeer. “It was almost hatred of the other team and it still holds to this day on any players of those teams. Your teammates are all that matter and the other team is the enemy. There were some bitter rivalries and some bitter feelings … and I still won’t talk to Larry Bird.”

Isiah Thomas - “It was extremely personal [..] you just wanted to beat the (expletive, probably shit) out of them, [..]I’ll say hello, but I’ll never be friends with them, [..] there’s no personal dislike. (pause) … We’re Pistons, they’re Celtics”

Should I drop the sig?
Every sig you come up with is bad luck. Damnit Glenn!!!!

109-82, Boston

Scalabrine with 18 & 10

AUBURN HILLS, Mich., May 14 (Ticker) -- Brian Scalabrine was the unlikeliest hero for the New Jersey Nets on a night full of them.

Scalabrine scored a career-high 17 points, including a key 3-pointer with 41 seconds left in triple-overtime, as the Nets outlasted the Detroit Pistons, 127-120, in pivotal Game 5 of their Eastern Conference semifinal series.

Doc Rivers is a fuckin' genius.
The Celts are bringing their A-Game.

http://farm3.static.flickr.com/2235/2478144503_7c5b5c60e7_o.jpg

They'll be banging the Scalabrine Lebron James Diss track up and down Bean Town.

Fuck LeBron up!
Go ahead and fuck LeBron up!
Throw your bows up in his face (Why! Why! Why! Why!)
Celtics in the house hurtin’ fuckin’ cry babies
LeBron, suck on your Boobie (Giiiiiiiibson)
Yeah I said it — suck on your Boobie
Boston will end shit that the Wiz done started
Add Jay-Z and LeBron to the dearly departed

Y’all know the name
Brian-Scal-a-breen-ee, ain’t a damn thang changed
You think ya sliced bread, but your shit be overrated
I’m a hit ya so you hard, Mom will feel it inebriated
I’ll elevate the pain, with a long-term goal
Use five fouls on ya face, and one on your soul
You make millions throwin’ dust, I ride stationary bikes
But when I’m in Long Beach, then my shit be tight
And when I’m on the court, one-point-eight points, son
Extrapolate over forty and who da real Chosen One?
So get nervous LeBron, cuz we bringin’ da harm
While you chewin’ on your fingers, I’m bitin’ off your arm

Fuck LeBron up!

(Yo, where you at Queen?) Wes, let me see him
Notorious for cryin’ from a love tap to the chin
Veal took over the beef, put him in a mausoleum
And the pain won’t stop comin’ til after eleven PM
Bark the KG, pierce like Paul
Kick you in the back, stick you for your ESPY award
In front of Beyonce, Jay, your 1st and 2nd born
Make your coach get on the horn call Commissioner David Stern
So he could persuade me to squash it, I saw naw he started it
He forgot what playoff basketball is
And playoff ball is you about to Witness-es-es
Your face meetin’ my elbow or my fist-es-es
Wicked good hits, that’s what Beantown say
You holdin’ up the series, now get outta the way

Fuck LeBron up!

John Barry just damned us.

http://www.redsarmy.com/scallie.jpg

Well, we know one thing, he's going to be a factor.

Doc didn't activate him to give him a DNP-CD.

Damn those LBF.

i think Ainge liked Scalabrine because he's got a winner brain or sth ridiculous like that and he gave him 15 mil for 5 years...if any of the Bostons bench guys contribute or outplay our bench guys we are doomed anyway...make or break! this game will decide who will win this series, we need everybody to play well to win another game in Boston, i hope we can match their intensity at the start

WHAT DOES DOC KNOW?

WE'VE GOT ALPACAS, BUT THEY HAVE SCALABRINE

WAIT, WE'VE GOT ALPACAS THAT LIVE INSIDE VOLCANOES, WE'RE GOOD

So.......




Which one of ya'll is Doc Rivers? This was obviously done to spite WTFDetroit. Maybe he was Patricia?

You thought Game 5 against Cleveland last year was bad? Wait until tonight. Unlike LeBron, Brian is actually going to drop 50.

I AIN'T SKEERED, ON ACCOUNT OF THE ALPACAS LIVIN' IN VOLCANOES

AND THEY JUST PLAYED "THE FINAL COUNTDOWN"

HOW FUCKING STUPID ARE THEY?

WILL THEY START SCALABRINE?

MAYBE AT PG?

That song still sucks. Sorry.

i have to admit i really like their intro video

AHHH FUCK EM LETS GO PISTONS, THIS WHAT YOU PLAY FOR, WE MUST WIN THIS ONE!!!!

Their music is very appropriate: thuggish music for a thuggish team.

lets hope Tay and CB hit some shots today...we can't need some crappy performance of them today

Ray Allen's wearing a sleeve. Must be trying to channel his inner Kobe.

Frickin Rip: scoring machine at the end of the game, turnover machine otherwise.

Surprised to see we're 8 points in and we don't have 0.

Boy if Sheed could come up with a big game tonight....

How did Perkins put that one in? God, he's phenomenal.

If we turn it over or take bad shots like this the whole game and fail to get back in transition, we're toast.

Unless we deflate the early start right now, we will lose. The aggressor early on pretty much has control the entire series. Two great teams, two shitty coaches, it's pretty much an intensity and energy contest.

Wow Chuancey...wide open....

BANG! KENDRICK PERKINS!

this unforced TOs are getting on my nerves....and FUCK PERKINS, COME ON box out, DAMNIT

Has Sheed come to play tonight?

Has Sheed come to play tonight?

Well ya you saw him hit that half court 3 in warm ups right?

Kendrick Perkins again! Mama, there goes that man.

OOOOOO shit lets go Sheed!!!!!!!!!!

It's nice he's makin' his 3's but when he has Perkins alone on the block he needs to pound it in.

Glad to see Sheed come back to take that one after he missed the one before.

Aint nobody nervous up in this joint

SLOW START and being beaten to rebounds. This is not a good omen.

I will not be upset if we lose because Kendrick Perkins has a big game.

Well, Chauncey looks a lot better at least.

Stuckster

That shot was a thing of beauty.

T him up.

Good game so far. Need to stop giving these scrubs offensive boards though. I mean, fuck...

Well the quick start didn't happen. I like Billups' energy, and our defensive hustle at the end there. I feel cautiously optimistic.

Nice block by Tayshaun. It was very close to goaltending.

23-23 end of 1st.

At least they didn't come out flat. I feel good about this game.

For some reason, I doubt Rasheed will continue his 36 point pace.

Perkins!? Come on Detroit!

Good basketball my ass. What a douche

That's not a flagrant. sike

He didn't even attempt to go after the ball

Van Gundy is a dumbass.

It absolutely IS a flagrant, imo.

That was a great sequence...too bad it wasn't capped by a Mad Max Slam.

Flagrant...it was kinda a hard foul.

where was he going for the ball?

He didn't even attempt to go after the ball

Bingo. And he was in the air.

How could he go for the ball? Maxiell was soaring to the Heavens.

IMO the whole flagrant thing is stupid. You're supposed foul like that in the playoffs.

If you want to allow 'no layups' thats fine. Just set the rules. Detroit would be happy to play by them.

There, Max dunked it. Now quit crying, Tahoe.
jk

Oh boy. NICE HUNTER!!!

The NBA...Where Safety for our players happens

Great defense. 2 straight TOs by Boston.

Maxiell is fucking dominating bitches right now.

<---Homer

Maxiell is fucking dominating bitches right now.

Damn straight. You fuck with Max, you're going to pay the price.

Jackson and Van Gundy are a bit off it tonight. No, that wasn't the same exact play by PJ Brown. The first time there was no play on the ball whatsoever. The second oop there was.

Tough night for Brown so far. I'll take it. One less scrub to kill us.

Boston becoming unglued? Knock on wood.

Nice...Rip to Dice

Garnett just took a big dump on Theo.

That was taunting by KG too

And an offensive foul by KG

Garnett just took a big dump on Theo.

hot karled him

Get Belichick out of there, he might steal our signs!

I'm sorry, who's the dude sitting next to the great rack in gray? I know the answer.

I'll check.

did theo just do something good?

wait..

followed by another stupid foul...

Standing completely still is now a foul in the NBA....twice...... Celtics in the penalty

the pussy-ish way we're being beaten to the rebounds is unsettling. HUSTLE!

Just break this lead open to 10 Detroit, PLEASE!!!

PJ Brown is just getting pwned out there tonight.

TAKE THAT.

The seasons is right here at the end of this 2nd quarter. Hold it down Detroit.......

We love it when we can go to break showing a Celts hightlight.

Our volcano erupts midway through the 3rd.

Did she just say, "Us Chinks?"

the reason why we're only up 5 with the big turnover and bench advantage is rebounding. It's like 21 to 7 right now. Obscene.

Did she just say, "Us Chinks?"

She wouldn't say that. Would you?

She wouldn't say that. Would you?

well....i guess not.

Apparently Dice's head fouled KG's fist.....

FUCK. Rebound the f'ing basketball. REBOUND THE FUCKIN BALL. We'd be up at least 6 or 7 instead of 1 if we could just grab a damn board.

Nice shot billups

....

not.good.

bad shot billups?

The whole f'ing thing happened because we couldn't grab a rebound for shit. Give up TWO offensive boards and fumble the board after that... Pierce 3, all it took was one bad shot, Allen 3 and there goes the lead.

Rebounds 24-9

Forgot, sarcasm is green.

Nice shot billups

Just need to stay composed, they may be in the lead, but I think we're controlling the tempo, all their points are coming in bunches...just need to slow the pace down

Rebounds 24-9

That's just ridiculous. If we lose this game that's why. Rebounding is primarily a hustle thing too.

and FEEL FREE TO GRAB A BOARD DYESS

24-9? No way.

the bench did a good job Stuck +4 Max+7 Lindsey +5...CB and Tay again struggle with making shots

ANOTHER FUCKING OFFENSIVE REBOUNDING THEY GAVE UP. PUSSIES!

bullshit call

Kendrick Perkins has a double double in the first half...

LOL? Was that just called in the NBA>....thanks Gundy.....

how is that a foul...it should be out of bounds, ball to the celtics...

MAKE A SHOT!!, PERKINS IS A SOB

If we lose this damn game becuase we're OUTHUSTLED ON REBOUNDS, I will give up on this team for good. How the F can you not have the hustle to get outrebounded that badly in a game this important?? Just hold f'ing pace.

BUUULLLSHIT !!!! damn we went cold and fucking perkins is playing like an allstar

I can't stand that whole, "if you shoot after the whistle, I won't let the ball go in" schtick by KG...

grow up son

notice how we tend to "check out" early in the 2nd quarter of games...happened even on Monday

HOW THE FUCK?

fucking bullshit

alright Sheed, nice 3

Mr. Big Shot -> Rasheed

wow lame...KG and a lame ass 3... SHEED ! LET DO THIS, COME ON

OMG we grabbed a fucking rebound!

Get your head in the game Billups

That was a pathetic possession.

our bench>> our starters

Let me get this straight...we are being absolutely decimated on the glass, Perkins has 12 and 13, and Ray Allen is playing well, but we're down only 6?
