Don't make me go to the tape Matt. You won't like the tape. :P

I'd rather work on my AJ/AA video than dig up the video but I distinctly remember LeBron sizing Ben up and passing away. He didn't want any of that.

probably seperate plays, because i remember Ben being dunked on by Lebron. i remember the switch and then thinking, "haha, let's see how you fare against DPOY, King James." then he got dunked on :(

I remember that play. It was at the Palace, game 5 I think.

another 'good' read? .... most people shouldnt read this, actually.

I thought his ability to get inside the lane would help off the bench. I just didnt realize it takes him 20 seconds to do that.

He gets in the lane alright, gets in and gets stuffed.

Again, I just said don't look at how he did in Cleveland, because they used him as a spot-up shooter, which was idiotic.

Flip isn't a good outside shooter. He's a slasher and mid-range shooter.

And oh yeah, his only playoff series was one in which (again) he was misused.

I think Murray is what we need: A scorer.

im sorry, but that nba title quote was hilarious. But to your credit you recognized that he sucked at jump shots, of course the problem is that that doesnt stop him from shooting them.

See even MOLA likes Flip. so its not like you were alone. I was wrong about Dale Davis being worthless. He kicked ass out there. Also i really reallyfelt the lakers would bomb.

The NBA title quote was obvious sarcasm. You know that.

of course. just ribbing ya man. no harm intended.

Well, if Flip played how we all expected him to (come in, play the slasher role, not become a basketball black hole) it wouldn't be half bad. Too bad the guy plays like an idiot. Skill wise, he could be the slasher we all wanted. Mentally, the guy is useless to us.

Is it any surprise that a guy named Flip is mentally useless to us? haha

In hindsight, keeping Delk would have been a better idea.

I believe I was in favor of keeping Delk.

Well, why wouldn't you be?

He was the ying and the yang of the Pistons.

this team lost a 5 time allstar center and replaced him with 2 guys that their teams didnt even want anymore.

i doubt anyone's rooting for this team to fail... i always have a blast in the playoffs, getting kegs at my place and having tons of people over. why wouldnt i want that? but i am pissed at this team (uber pissed) because its fucking up all over the place (flip isnt fucking up, but he leaves alot to be desired). the management group has lost any faith from me. im not going to get excited by flip murray. joe's going to have to be alot more clever than that to get me happy with this team again.

co-fucking-gent

i'll pull this thread back up now that its almost guaranteed we'll never see flip in a game as a piston again. this thread is phenomenal. 20 or so people arguing agianst k-stat, who was making some of the most tenuous claims ever said about the pistons.

Congrats to everyone who said that Flip Murray sucks. You were right. And anyone who said he was good, you were wrong as fuck.

whats funny though is i dont remember wtf I thought, maybe there's a post by me praising him in there, I'm too scared to look. edit: looked, thank god I wasn't pimping this douchebag, i'd hate myself forever. ok not really. but still its good to know my talent eye doens't completely suck.

BTW, Delfino is gone. This is why Delfino bitched to the press again despite Mo being gone. They probably already told him about it.

FP22 FOR THE WIN!!!
