damn we needed a score there!
damn we needed a score there!
We CANT STOP THE EURO SLASHER
Um, flagrant?
how does dooling keep getting away with an extra shot after the foul has already been called?
OK, they t'd him up. finally!
and rip misses the tech. nice.
omfg rip, whyyyyyy
chat isn't working for me for some reason. is it my computer or am i just not welcome? lol
man they love to blow those whistles. that was NOT a foul on nelson. BS
dice with another HUGE play to keep it alive and prince hit the running J to give us a 1 point lead!
Good thing Sheed showed up for the fourth quarter.
the damn refs better swallow their whistles on this last posession. i'll go crazy if they put orlando at the line to win it on a BS call.
man i hope they turn it over or something. come on D!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!
I'm trembling....
It's not like that missed technical ft would help us right now, but can't fault him too much Rip has played great tonight.
we need to box out and watch out for a putback on a missed shot. come on D!
DEEEETROIT wins!!!!!!!!!!!!! foul call is on the magic.
LOL @ letting the soft euro drive at (no foul time)
3-1 baby!!!!!!!!!!!!
heroes of the game:
hunter
rip
sheed
prince
dice
everyone came up big.
Rip won that one for us late. Lucky us.
rip must really be close to the alltime pistons playoff scoring title by now....
I'm giving the hero award to both Rip and Dyess.
Anyone know what happened b/t Dyess and Howard I missed it.
What a fun second half. Changes when you're only big man isn't playing well and your fucking three's don't drop, huh?
yea, dooling is a fag, and it came back to haunt him.Quote:

now the question is, do we play billups on tuesday?
i'm tempted to say we sit him for that game too. then if we take care of business at home, he will have had at least a week's rest. putting him out there on tuesday could set him back a bit and mean he might not get to 100% for the next round.
but we had better damn well win game 5 one way or the other. i don't want to go back to orlando and we can't extend this series anymore.
he didn't have a ton of points, but this is the best game i've seen dice play in ages.
I think this gives us more of a reason to sit Billups and let him rest. we can win this series w/o him but no way are we winning the following series w/o him. Let Arnie work his magic. Stuckey played ok today, but the refs really weren't giving him any leeway whatsoever. He'll play better and he always does at home so let chauncey rest.
Yes, closeout game, 2 more days of rest , playing at home. He should at least come off the bench, he'll be even more rested if Detroit wraps this series up.Quote:

i love it when he's aggressive offensively. i wish he would do it more often.
i say rest billups. it is a closeout game but we've shown we can win without him. and as was mentioned, stuckey will be better at home when the refs actually let him play.
we can do with billups and i don't think him being at 50-75% will be much of a difference as if we play without him.
we have enough vets who can execute and cover for his absence for one more game.
I give the game ball to Rip on this one. I was working but the game was on. Everyone knew that the Pistons were trying to get him off, but they couldn't stop him.
dice got some critical offensive boards too. including the one which gave us the 2nd shot which prince hit to give us the lead and win the game.
without that play by both those 2, we're probably looking at a 2-2 series.
but yeah a bunch of guys were huge in this game. rip definitely right up there with anyone. very efficient and some really tough, clutch shots down the stretch.
And seriously, who gives a fuck who gets the game ball. 3-1 instead of 2-2 is so fucking huge.
Rest CBill
I say if Billups feels he can go they dress him but don't decide wether or not he plays until the 4th.
Tay is a pimp.
Great second half.
Rip was unstoppable in the final couple minutes even when they ran the same play 3 times in a row and Orlando knew it was coming.
Stuckey generally had a good game and was BS'd by the refs.
We filled in great with CBill out. We had 10 fouls to give with Stuck and LH. Great job.
I can hear Flip telling Stuck...'We're not aksing you to win it for us, we're aksing you to not fuck up our chances of winning it" Rely on Rip, we did, we won.
Or Flip to Stuck..."Don't be a hero"
Great game. Great win. Screw Orlando...
At least Boston doesn't shoot so many damn 3's...
Prince is a playoff player, and he always steps up we need him to (normally is the guy we go to when someone is injured)Quote:
