A whole year of bitter off-season, pre-season, 82 games of none-of-this-shit-matters and two rounds of tayshaun prince blossoming at the right time... and we're finally here with a chance to see the pistons rested, healthy and peaking back in the conference finals against the team with the best record in the league for a chance at redemption.

I love this game. I also love run-on sentences. Cake, too. And booze.

Pistons in six.

I'm looking forward to Ray Allen continuing his disappearing act. He'll be chasing RIP all night and RIP will harass him at the other end as well. I'm also looking forward to Max eating the slow footed bigs (besides KG) on the boards. I expect a lot of rebounds for him. I also expect Stuckey to abuse Cassell off the bench (or House or whoever). My only concern is that Billups needs to keep Rondo on the outside and Prince needs to keep getting looks and not disappear now that Billups is back and Tay has to guard PP.

Glenn
05-19-2008, 02:06 PM
I originally picked Boston to win the East, but I'm flip flopping to Pistons in 6.

On the surface, things seem to be breaking our way (at least for now).

If we can steal one of the first two, we should be able to hold our home court.

Higherwarrior
05-19-2008, 02:19 PM
something to watch for: billups and KG exchanging a kiss on the cheek prior to each game.

in all seriousness, the guys who 'scare' me most are guys like rondo and posey. they can be very effective and disruptive if not taken seriously. we have the players to win those battles but i'm just saying that they are guys we need to keep under wraps or they can hurt us.

stuckey can be a huge player for us in this series. we already have an advantage at the PG position. with him, we could have a HUGE advantage. i want to see him getting close to 30 minutes out there and taking it at the heart of the celtics D.

WTFchris
05-19-2008, 03:07 PM
Posey doens't worry me at all. He might knock down a couple threes, but that is it. Rondo is the guy you have to keep in check (make him shoot 20 foot jumpers). If you let Rondo loose you'll end up with Perkins and Davis getting dunks at the rim. Posey won't be out there a ton anyway (or if he is it means Allen is still shooting blanks).

Glenn
05-19-2008, 03:13 PM
Rondo's been pretty impressive in the playoffs from what I have seen.

DrRay11
05-19-2008, 03:18 PM
If we contain Rondo, Glen Davis should be contained as well whenever that rag is in... Expect to see Lindsey some if Rondo causes too much grief v. Stuckey and Stuckey isn't performing well enough offensively.

DE
05-19-2008, 03:25 PM
I am hyped for this series. Just bring them on already. For some reason I hope that our bench becomes a big factor in the series and destroys theirs. And I've been thinking about this and I think that there's a good chance we won't see the Pistons take any games off (either that or I'm just trying to talk myself into it).

WTFchris
05-19-2008, 03:31 PM
^I have a feeling that if we steal game 1 that we might get blown out in game 2 (relaxing a bit). That would be fine with me because we be pumped up to get 3 and 4 at home.

we have to split the first two, or we won't win the series.

(yes i'm aware THEORETICALLY we can win being down 0-2, and many teams do it, but the point is I dont believe we can do it against a good team. maybe push it to a tough 6 or 7 then lose).

it feels like we haven't played in a month. i'm dying for game 1 to get started already. i REALLY hope we come out and steal this first one. it's a perfect opportunity to steal one from them, given that they're coming off back to back 7 game series and only 1 day's rest.

we NEED 1 of these first 2.

Tahoe
05-19-2008, 10:26 PM
I understand all of the gotta win 1 of 2 at their place, but if there is any year that doesn't hold true, it seems to be this year.

I could see us losing the first 2 and bouncing back with a 2-2 tie after 4.

Game 5 could be very interesting.

Black Dynamite
05-19-2008, 10:30 PM
we need to win two in boston. Get this series over with and hope the west finals goes 7 games too.

Higherwarrior
05-19-2008, 11:32 PM
oh no doubt- we could certainly come back from a 2-0 deficet. just protect homecourt and steal either game 5 or 7 on the road. that's very doable for this battle tested piston team. spurs just did it to the hornets.

but sometimes the mental focus and emotional energy used up in overcoming a situation like that can drain a team as the series goes deeper and- if you advance- going into the next series also. at least, that's my theory.

yes we do well with our backs against the wall. but sometimes we dig too deep a hole for ourselves and then fall apart towards the end. i'd rather we set the tone early and hopefully put our stamp on the series from the start.

in reality, that's probably wishful thinking. but i'd feel better if we won 1 of the first 2 and then at least had the CHANCE to go up 3-1 at home. (chances are with this team, if we steal one on the road early we'll probably give one back at home shortly thereafter, and will have to steal another road game anyway!)

05-20-2008, 04:45 AM
I'd love to see us steal one in game one. ray allens been shooting worse than lindsey hunter in these playoffs. keep rondo in check and we should be able to stop these overhyped fucks.

Im so fucking PUMPED RIGHT NOW, lets get it ON!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!

I just pray that Ray Allen doesn't break his slump against the stones tonight, it always seems like certain guys step up against the D. We know what to expect from KG and Pierce, now just keep the others in there place.

I'd give anything to see the Stones lay some wood and play that type of physical defense that wins titles, even if it does cost them some fouls and technicals; oh what I'd give to see Maxy lay the hammer down on KG's soft azz in the lane.

I don't know what happened to me, I used to like Garnett, but I really dislike him now for some reason...

That ball was off Pierce and that was no charge.

Not a good way to start the game off...

we own this game. we need to stop messing around and build a lead. if we let them hang around then things could turn on us.

great first half by dice, prince, and stuckey.

DE
05-20-2008, 09:47 PM
Flips substitutions were interesting. But at least he's trying to use the bench. Down by 1 and not playing our best is a decent place to be.

Timone
05-20-2008, 09:47 PM
So what do you guys think? Should I stick with the fishnets?

metr0man
05-20-2008, 09:48 PM
The Stuck/Hunter lineup was... interesting. I'm not sure what to think about it, it had some positives and some negatives.

We need Maxiell and Sheed (who picked it up in the 2nd Q) to play better.

metr0man

boy the Pistons look awful out there, especially on defense, and in terms of getting good shots. Just chucking out there, Rip's layup was a mirage. Billups is clearly gimpy, and a gimpy Billups = an elimination. We're past the mediocre teams, from hereon out its all good teams.

We do have Rodney Stuckey, who needs to quit bricking FT's...

Joe Asberry
05-20-2008, 10:30 PM
at least Stuckey is attacking the basket and is getting to the line, play him godamnit! too many lazy TOs

FUCK PIERCE he always plays good against the pistons, and KG is scoring too, FUCK IT

DrRay11
05-20-2008, 10:30 PM
Yeah we have turned the ball over a hella lot and not converted on what seems like any of their TO's...

Tahoe
05-20-2008, 10:30 PM
man these annoucers are slurping on PP

DE
05-20-2008, 10:31 PM
We do not look good. Why don't we ever try and get easy points when our O is stagnant? What happened to screens for Rip? Ball movement?

w3stfa11
05-20-2008, 10:32 PM
Ugh, terrible 3rd quarter.

metr0man
05-20-2008, 10:32 PM
This is the problem with giving KG and Pierce and all them so many easy shots earlier in the game. Now theyre in rhythm and hitting well defended shots.

Tahoe
05-20-2008, 10:32 PM
I've had to miss some of this, but where the fuck is Billups? still hurt?

DrRay11
05-20-2008, 10:32 PM
I hate to say it boys but I think this one's out of reach... Our offense has looked horrendous btw.

Joe Asberry
05-20-2008, 10:33 PM
what a crappy 3rd Q, you can't win in Boston playing like that

Timone

Fuck him, that's where he is.

Higherwarrior
05-20-2008, 10:34 PM
we are so obviously better than this team man. we should be beating them right now but we look like a team totally out of sync. we're not taking care of the ball, we're making silly decisions and mistakes, and we're not establishing any level of agressiveness on offense.

guess this is the result of the long layoff. we should have no problem in getting these issues buttoned up and win game 2. i can't believe we're letting this game slip away from us because of how winnable it is. but oh well. our beloved pistons have to learn the hard way.

hopefully if we lose this game we'll have a better understanding of what we need to do- and not do- to win this series.

metr0man
05-20-2008, 10:35 PM
its the eastern conference finals, and these are the good ole Eastern Conference Pistons all over again.

shags
05-20-2008, 10:35 PM
Pistons have no answer for Pierce. He's doing whatever he wants. His contributions go way beyond points.

I think the Pistons aren't used to playing against a defense that's as good as Boston's, especially coming off a series against Orlando. Boston's defense is the best since the Pistons in 04.

Also, I don't think Billups is completely healthy. Pistons have no chance without a healthy Billups.

Pistons need a quick start to the 4th quarter or Game 1 is over.

Joe Asberry
05-20-2008, 10:36 PM
in theory Sheed-KG and Tay-Pierce should be an OK matchup for us, but we can't fuck stop Pierce drive, he gets KG open shots, which he knocks down, this is frustrating, Sheed and Billups a no show on the offensiv end, meh we need a quick run to get back here

Timone
05-20-2008, 10:36 PM
When KG comes back in let's leave him wide open again.

w3stfa11
05-20-2008, 10:37 PM
As long as we don't commit 7 fucking turnovers in this quarter, we have a chance to win.

That Rip elbow wasn't shit. If he gets anything from the front office from that I call BS.

Nice to see Sheed heatin up. Despite the Detroit lack of offense (per the score), from watching the game I see a bigger issue in getting defensive stops. I know Boston doesn't have a ton of points, but it feels like they are scoring when they shouldn't.

DrRay11
05-20-2008, 10:48 PM
Book this thought:

IF we get close, the game's momentum will be changed by a ref on some BS call (probably a block that should be a charge or something).

Joe Asberry
05-20-2008, 10:48 PM
just 8 points...its possible if we get some stops

DrRay11

Stuckey has been much better than Billups, Mr. Asberry...

Also, that was DEFINITELY a reachin on Dyess. Probably not on Sheed, who wasn't looking, but Dyess was no doubt fouled.

And obviously the Pistons haven't figured out the Pierce - Garnett pick and roll, as was pointed out.

Higherwarrior

this pisses me off so bad because we've played like a bunch of retards and we're only down 10. we should be losing by 25. so with even the most minimal amount of common sense this is a game we should be winning.

instead we're throwing up stupid shots, throwing the ball away carelessly, and not moving the ball at all on offense. sheed- WTF are you throwing crap shots like that up for? you're not williamson- you don't need to shoot it every time!

we're not going to have chances to win a game like this too often. this could and should have been a relatively easy win for us but instead it'll be a loss. we had better get our shit together and win this series, because i have no doubt whatsoever that we are better than boston. i'll be super pissed if we don't figure that out and beat them.

we had better win game 2.
