“I respect the Pistons, I respect what they’ve got going on over there, but I feel good about my team. I feel good about my team against anyone, with a healthy team. You can say what you want to say about this game, we had enough players to win - there are no excuses. I feel like when we get myself back, when we get Austin Croshere back, when we get Jamaal Tinsley back, we’re going to be right there. Take any team and take two stars out of their lineup and tell me what you get. Take Rasheed Wallace and Chauncey Billups and then tell me what you’ve got. That’s just the way it is. Those are the facts.”

richard jefferson deserves his spot in this thread.....two things come to mind: claiming chauncey injured him on purpose and claiming the pistons aren't as scary as the old-school-bulls (and then getting an ass whooping).

"I wouldn't say it was a cheap shot," Jefferson said. "I don't think it was retaliation. I don't feel it was a cheap shot. Was it a bad play? Was it a dirty play? Yes. Is Chauncey Billups a dirty player? By no means; I don't think so."

Jefferson said he didn't complain about the play when it happened, and he's not complaining about it now.

"But look what happened from that play," said the athletic swingman, who had only missed five games in his first three-plus seasons.
