FIRST OF ALL CONG TO THE SAN ANTONIO SPURS .. THE 2007 NBA CHAMPIONS OF THE BASKETBALL WORLD. ONCE AGAIN THEY PROVED THAT YOU DONT NEED A SUPER STAR TO MAKE IT IN THIS LEAGUE WE CALL THE NBA .. THEY PROVED THAT TEAM BASKETBALL IS NOT DEAD .. THEY PROVED THAT SHARING THE BALL MOVING IT SIDE TO SIDE AND FLAWLESS EXECUTION CAN OVER COME A ONE MAN BAND . THIS TRULY WAS A DAVID VS GOLIATH MATCHUP FROM GAME 1 ON. YES THE CAVS HAD SPURTS WHERE THEY ACTUALLY LOOKED LIKE THE DESERVED TO BE ON THE SAME PLANET AS THE SPURS BUT EVEN THE MOST HARDCORE CAVS FAN DEEP IN THEIR HEART OF HEARTS HAD TO HAVE KNOWN IT WASNT EVEN A FAIR MATCHUP TO BEGIN WITH. TWO SUB PAR GAMES IN A ROW BY THE SPURS AND CLEVELAND STILL COULDNT GET THE JOB DONE .. NOT GETTING OFFENSIVE REBOUNDS .. MISSED SHOTS .. TO'S .. MISSED FT'S .. UN FORCED ERRORS .. MENTALLY THEY SHOWED TIME AND TIME AGAIN THEY WERE OUT MATCHED BY THE SPURS. BRON GAVE EVERYBODY A FALSE SENSE OF SECURITY WITH HIS GAME 5 IN THE ECF AND PPL BOUGHT IT HOOK LINE AND SINKER . WHEN IT'S ALL SAID AND DONE NOBODY OUTSIDE OF CLEVELAND AND BRON FANS ARE NOT GONNA REMEMBER THAT GAME 5 ALL THEIR GONNA REMEMBER IS JAMES NOT BEING ABLE TO GET IT DONE ON THE BIGGEST STAGE OF EM ALL THE NBA FINALS ALL THEIR GONNA REMEMBER IS THE LOWEST NBA FINALS RATINGS IN DECADES THATS WHAT THEIR GONNA REMEMBER .
THE SPURS ARE EVERYTHING THAT IS GOOD AND EVERYTHING THAT IS RIGHT ABOUT THE NBA .. SAY WHAT YA WANT ABOUT HORRY AND BOWEN .. THEIR THE EXCEPTION NOT THE NORM ON THAT TEAM TO STEAL A PHRASE FROM LARRY BROWN .. THEY PLAY THE RIGHT WAY . NOBODY CARES ABOUT BEING THE MAN .. NOBODY CARES ABOUT WHO IS THE HIGHEST PAID .. NOBODY CARES ABOUT WHO GETS MORE SHOTS OR WHO GETS THE LAST SHOT IN A CLOSE GAME ALL THEY CARE ABOUT IS THE BOTTOM LINE WHICH IS GETTING WINS AND BRINGING HOME TITLES .. IT STARTS FROM THE TOP DOWN TO THE OWNER TO THE GM TO THE COACH AND DOWN TO THE PLAYERS .. AND THE THING IS .. THE THING THAT MAKES THEM TRULY UNIQUE IN THIS ME FIRST LOOK AT ME LOOK WHAT I CAN DO NBA THAT WE SEE TODAY .. THEY DO IT WITH CLASS AND DIGNITY .. THEY DONT BLAME THE REFS .. THEY DONT BLAME THE OTHER TEAM IF THEY LOOSE THEY TAKE IT ON THE CHIN AND MOVE ON AND PLAY THE NEXT GAME .. THEY DONT THROW THEIR COACH OR THEIR TEAMATES UNDER THE BUS. CASE AND POINT LAST YEAR VS DALLAS GAME 7 WHERE DUNCAN DROVE THE LANE GOT FOULED BY DIRK .. IT WAS CLEAR AS DAY HE GOT FOULED BUT A NO CALL AND THE MAVS MOVE ON TO THE NBA FINALS .. IF NOT FOR THAT NO CALL THAT EVEN STEVIE WONDER COULD HAVE MADE WE MAY BE SITTING HERE TALKING ABOUT THE SPURS WINNING IT BACK TO BACK TO BACK .. YES A 3 PEAT .. BUT YOU DIDNT HEAR THE SPURS WHINING OR ####ING OR COMPLANING ABOUT IT WHEN CLEARLY THEY HAD EVERY RIGHT TO.
LETS TALK ABOUT TONY PARKER AND WHAT A JOB HE DID THIS WHOLE SERIES .. YEA HE HAD A BAD GAME IN GAME 3 BUT HE REBOUNDED LIKE THE CHAMPION HE IS .. HIS JUMPER WAS UN REAL HE HAD THE QUICKS BACK HE HAD IT ALL CLICKING AGAIN ..MEAN IF YOU'RE READING THIS .. GIVE PARKER THE BDG TITLE ON A SILVER PLATTER . AND HE'S EVEN MAKIN IT RAIN FROM DOWN TOWN .. IF HE GETS THAT SHOT DOWN .. YOU MIGHT AS WELL FORGET ABOUT IT .. LIKE JEFF VANGUNDY SAID IT AINT FAIR LOL HE GETS HIS 4TH RING .. HE GET'S TO MARRY EVA LONGORIA AND MAKING THE MONEY .. PASS THE BUTTER CAUSE THIS GUYS ON A ROLL.
NOW WHAT FOR THE CAVS ?? WHAT NOW FOR BRON ?? WILL THE CAVS LEARN FROM THIS ?? WILL BRON LEARN FROM THIS ??? AFTER SEEING TIMMY AND THE BOYS CELEBRATE ON HIS HOMECOURT WILL IT MAKE BRON THAT MUCH MORE HUNGREY NEXT YEAR ?? WILL THE CAVS EVEN MAKE IT TO THE FINALS NEXT YEAR OR THE YEAR AFTER THAT OR THE YEAR AFTER THAT ?? DAN MARINO MADE IT TO THE SUPERBOWL ONCE HE ALWAYS SAID HE FELT LIKE AT THE TIME HE COULD GET THEIR ANYTIME HE WANTED OR THAT HE THOUGHT HE WOULD BE THERE YEAR AFTER YEAR SADLY IT DIDNT HAPPEN THAT WAY AND THE REST IS HISTORY .. THE POINT BEING YOU CAN'T EXPECT TO BE IN THE SITUATION BRON WAS YEAR AFTER YEAR CAUSE YOU MAY NEVER BE THERE AGAIN AND WHEN YOU ARE THERE YOU HAVE TO TAKE FULL ADVANTAGE AND CAPITALIZE AND CLEARLY HE DID NOT .
THIS BRINGS UP AN INTRESTING QUESTION IF BRON INDEED DOES NOT GET BACK TO THE FINALS IN THE NEXT 2 - 3 YEARS WILL PEOPLE START TO COMPARE HIM TO DOMINIQUE WILKINS ANOTHER PROLFIC SCORER AND ONE OF THE MOST ATHLETIC AND BEST SHOWMAN OF HIS TIME .. BUT COULD NOT GET IT DONE ON THE BIG STAGE .. WOULD THAT BE A FAIR COMPARISON ?
POOR DAVID STERN HIS PLAN OF SHOVING BRON DOWN THE PUBLICS THROATS IF BRON HAD 4 GAME 5'S DIDNT COME TO PASS .. HE DIDNT GET HIS WISH OF HAVING THE SERIES EXTEND TO 7 GAMES SO HE COULD EXPLOIT BRON SOME MORE AWWW PITTY POOR STERN LOL .. THE SPURS SENT A BIG #### YOU TO STERN TONIGHT AND I FOR ONE THINK IT COULDNT HAVE HAPPEND TOA NICER GUY LOL .
AGAIN CONG TO THE SPURS AND ALL THE SPURS FANS AROUND THE BASKETBALL WORLD .. SIMPLY THE BEST
Well, well, well .. what do we have here a team that resembled the cleveland cavaliers finally decided to show up in this years nba finals. It only took a #### poor shooting performance , timmy d in foul trouble and some good old fashioned home cooking late in the 4th to make it seem like a game ... but all for nothing .. bottom line ..cavs down 0 - 3 ... what was floppy mcflopperson thinking on that shot are you kidding me ?? oh man .. lol. oh btw that last shot by bron .. yes it was a foul but no way that would have ever been in the act of shooting bron took 2 - 3 steps after the foul and launched it .. the foul would have been two shots not three .. he was still dribbling when the foul occured and still in the process of making his move he was not in the act of shooting .
Gotta give credit though cavs hung in there and didnt get their heads bashed in as bad this time .. even witha so - so game from bron .. there 3 point shooting was down right u - g - l - y - it was so ugly it was oogly lol. the only thing that kept them in it was their defense . Is it just me or does gooden put up and make the most slop shots ever in the history of the nba ... this was the cavs game to take the spurs played un -spur like and the cavs still could not get it done .. sloppy to's .. bad shot selection .. bad fouls .. one thing though bron stepped up and hit clutch ft's .. and say what ya want about mike brown .. i allready have lol .. the descion to put snow on parker worked .. of course parker had a un parker like game also if parker plays at the top of his game on offense and snow plays up to his game on defense .. parkers offense is head and shoulders above snows defense and manu was down right non existant except late in the 4th .. but horry, stepped up ... finley stepped up .. barry stepped up .. .
Give the cavs all the credit in the world they brough it tonight but with how badly the spurs played they had to win this one .. thats the bottom line .. you're not gonna catch the spurs in that vulnerable of a situation very often and when you manage to get em in that postion you have to capitalize . When they kept goin to bron on the post up i was like why dont the spurs recognize what their doin and adjust they went to that play like 5 times befor dealing with it. lol was funny to see the flop off between manu and floppy .
So here we are the spurs are one game from sending the cavs and their fans fishing on lake Erie .. they smell it .. they smell the blood in the water .. they can taste it like a fat man who wants a nice juicy steak . sorry to say it's time to get those brooms out of the closet and start sweeping the cavs under the carpet. Can Bron have that " breakout " game that everybody has been wating for ?? .. somewhere david stern is eating rolaids like they were candy and drinkin bottle after bottle of pepto bismal because his gravy train aint bringing in the ratings like he hoped .. you have no idea how much that brings a smile to my face .
We all know it's commin .. the world know's it's commin .. every nba fan worth their salt know's it's commin .. everybody outside of cleveland knows it's commin the sooner they realize it's commin the sooner the healing can begin . it's ironic the spurs theme song is the undertakers music because after thurs the cavs title hopes will R.I.P.
WE ALL LOVE HIM .. HE 'S TEXAS RANGER FOR CRYIN OUT LOUD !!! .. REASON'S WHY I LOVE THE BEARDED ONE .. PARTIAL CREDIT GO'S OUT TO MR. SHOWTIME AND SIX -TEN BALLER FORGIVE ME FOR THE PIC PLACEMENT BUT IT'S MY FIRST TIME LOL

THE YEAR WAS 2000 IT WAS A COLD CRISP AUTUMN DAY IN MICHIGAN .. THE TEMP WAS MID 50'S MAYBE A LITTLE COLDER .. IT HAD JUST RAINED THE NIGHT BEFOR MAKING THE GRASS SLIPPERY AND WET .. A FEW FRIENDS OF MINE HAD GATHERED TO PLAY A LITTLE PICKUP GAME OF TACKLE FOOTBALL .. IT WAS NEARING THE END OF THE GAME .. THE TEAM I WAS ON WAS DOWN BY 7 AT THE GOAL LINE IT WAS GETTING DARK SO WE DECIDED THE NEXT SCORE WOULD BE WINNER TAKE ALL .
WE WERE ON THE GOAL LINE 5 YARDS AWAY .. BEFOR THE SNAP MY TEAM WENT INTO A HUDDLE AND TALKED ABOUT WHO WOULD GO FOR THE LAST PLAY AND OF COURSE ME BEING YOUNG AND WANTING TO BE A HOT SHOT AND FIT IN I SAID " I GOT THIS, LET ME RUN IT IN " SO I GOT BEHIND THE QB ONE OF MY BEST FRIENDS .. THE BALL WAS SNAPPED I RAN TO THE LEFT SIDE OF THE LINE THE WAY THE PLAY WAS SUPPOSE TO GO BUT I SAW A HOLE IN THE MIDDLE THAT SOON WAS CLOSED UP THE OPPOSING PLAYER WRAPPED ME UP AND HAD MY ARMS TIED AT MY SIDE .. AND THATS WHEN IT HAPPEND .
I FELT MY FOOT SLIP I FELT MY SELF START TO FALL AND WHEN I WENT TO PLANT MY FOOT MY ENTIRE LEFT LEG WENT BEHIND ME AND MY HEEL HIT THE MIDDLE OF MY BACK ALL YOU COULD HEAR WAS A LOUD SNAP !! AS LOUD AS A GUN SHOT .. THAT WOULD BE MY ANKLE BREAKING IN 3 PLACES .. I CRUMPLED TO THE GROUND AND SCREAMED AT THE TOP OF MY LUNGS .. IT WAS THE WORST PAIN I HAD EVER FELT IN MY ENTIRE LIFE AND IT HAS BEEN THE WORST PAIN I HAVE EVER FELT SINCE .. I JUST LAID ON THE FIELD TEARS JUST FLOWING DOWN MY FACE .. EVRYBODY WAS JUST IN COMP SHOCK AT WHAT HAPPEND .. ONE OF MY OTHER FRIENDS HAD A CELL PHONE HE CALLED 911 AS I LAID ON THE FIELD LOOKING UP INTO THE SKY I COULDNT FEEL ANYTHING ON THE LEFT SIDE OF MY BODY FROM MY WAIST DOWN .. MY BEST FRIEND WAS ON ONE SIDE OF ME AND MY OTHER BEST FRIENDS DAD WAS ON THE OTHER SIDE THEY HELD MY HANDS AND TRIED TO KEEP ME CALM TILL THE AMBULANCE ARRIVED WHEN I TOLD MY FRIENDS DAD WHO HAPPEND TO SERVE IN NAM THAT I COULDNT FEEL ANYTHING ON MY LEFT SIDE HE SAID THAT I WAS GOING INTO SHOCK FROM THE PAIN.
FINALLY AFTER ABOUT 25 MINS AFTER IT HAPPEND AND THE AMBULANCE WAS CALLED THEY ARRIVED THEY LOADED ME INTO THE AMBULANCE AND STARTED AN IV DRIP AND GAVE ME SOME GOOD #### DRUGS LOL THAT WOULD PROVE TO BE THE BEST PART OF MY DAY .. THEY RUSHED ME INTO THE HOSPITAL ADMITTED ME AND TOOK SOME X - RAYS WHILE I WAITED FOR THE ORTHOPEDIC SURGEON .. THE X - RAYS SHOWED THAT I HAD INDEED BROKE MY ANKLE IN 3 PLACES ON BOTH SIDES AND IN THE FRONT BUT ALSO TORE SOME TENDONS AND LIGAMENTS AS WELL . THEY SET IT AND PUT ME IN AN AIR CAST .. THE NEXT DAY I WAS SECHULED TO HAVE SURGERY .. THEY WHEELED ME IN THE OPERATION TOOK 2 HOURS THEY PUT A METAL PLATE AND 6 SCREWS IN .. I WENT THROUGH 8 MONTHS OF REHAB BEFOR I COULD WALK RIGHT AGAIN TO THIS DAY I STILL HAVE SCARS AND STILL I DONT WALK AS WELL AS I DID BEFOR.
SINCE THEN I HAVE HAD OTHER HEALTH PROBLEMS THAT HAVE ROBBED ME OF THE JOY OF PLAYING THE GAME I LOVED SO MUCH BEFOR THE FOOTBALL ACCIDENT I COULD PLAY BASKETBALL FOR HOURS AT A TIME I WOULD PLAY FOR 3 - 5 HOURS AT A TIME AND HARDLEY GOT TIRED AND I HAD SUCH A PASSION FOR IT ALL GUYS HAVE HAD THAT TIME WHEN YOU'RE IN A GAME AND YOU'RE IN THE ZONE AND YOU CAN'T MISS AND EVERYTHING IS CLICKING..

Posted June 03, 2007 01:25 AM It’s been ages since I’ve gone all out and made a legit and substantial thread on our “beloved” Detroit Pistons. I figured now would be a good time to get back in the swing of things. So, here’s how this is going to shake out. I’m not going to suggest that the team gets blown up. I’m not going to yell “Fire Flip” without a legit alternative option. I’m not going to throw at you some ridiculous Kobe trade threads. I am, however, going to breakdown the Pistons salary situation, their draft pick situation, and their current personnel, coming to an ultimate conclusion as to what will happen from here on out. My goal is to get this thread as a central place for the banter that will be coming in the next couple days, but without the ridiculousness that has already seeped into the boards.
Salary Situations Expiring Contracts Dale Davis Chris Webber Amir Johnson
Player Options Chauncey Billups Antonio McDyess Flip Murray
Team Option Will Blalock
To me, this is relatively simple, especially now that the Pistons obviously did not win the ‘ship. First, Dale Davis, au revoir. You were appreciated, and probably under-utilized. However, the state of this team cannot warrant a contract offer. Enjoy where ever life takes you. Amir Johnson played enough to show that he’s got potential, but didn’t play enough to get any unreal contracts. Good for the Pistons. I would expect a Jason Maxiell-like offer to go to Amir, 2+ years at 1.5+ Mil. Hopefully he takes it. Chris Webber is an interesting situation. I’ll get back to him. Of the player options, Chauncey will obviously opt out. The question is, will Joe pay him. The answer is yes. Chauncey played god-awful this series. Pathetic, even. However, there is no way you can adequetly replace him. This doesn’t rule out a sign and trade, however, which I’ll get to later. Antonio McDyess has an option for 6+ Mil. He takes it in a heartbeat, forcing the Pistons into a tough situation. Expect McDyess to be around for the start of the season, with trade possibilities. Flip Murray doesn’t seem to like his situation, and I would expect that he opts out and the Pistons choose not to pursue. So, back to the Webber situation. Alot of this has to do with what Jomars will do with Nazr Mohammed. The best situation, it would appear, is that Joe is somehow able to move Nazr. Heck, I would consider a buy out at this point. We don’t want him, he doesn’t want to be here. However, we need to do anything possible to move him. That said, we may see Chris Webber return to the Pistons, despite what just about everybody wants. That is, if he is willing to accept a bench role. More on that later. Will is doubtful to return with the Pistons holding two first round picks, one almost guaranteed to go to a point guard.
So right now we are looking at.....
Departures: Will Blalock, Dale Davis, Flip Murray
Non-Expiring Contract Issues
As I said, Joe will be looking to do everything in his power to move Nazr Mohammed. Someone like, GASP, Cleveland, may be a decent suitor. Cleveland will soon find out that another tree to go along with Z is what they are eventually going to need. Nazr has a contract that baloons to nearly 7 Mil until 2010/11. Disgusting. Dreadful. Atrocious. Please, Joe, anything. I don’t care what we get in return. Get rid of that contract. Someone will bite for a relatively young 7’er.
Rasheed Wallace. Oh how ye have worn on thee. And it seemed like he had finally accepted going into the post and working from there. Alas, the new NBA will not put up with his antics. However, we will have to. For two more years. That’s because at 12-13 Mil, Rasheed is here to stay. Actually, once he hits that last year he will be trade bait as an expiring contract. But there’s no doubt he’ll be here for atleast next year and likely the rest of his contract.
Coaching Issues
Some of you may take me for a Flip defender, since I pretty much always defend Flip. However, I always defended LB, as well. And I definately defended RC. Generally, I’m one to look at the players first, coaches second. That said, I don’t think Flip is an elite head coach. I don’t think he’s an awful head coach. I would say he might be top 10. The question then becomes, is top 10 good enough for this team in this situation. The answer? Now it is. Because like it or not, the Pistons are not championship calibre, right now. And because of that, there is no reason to fire a coach and bring in another. A new head coach will not put this team over the top. That’s a fact. Now, Joe may pull some miraculous moves where we start to think “All right, now this team is right back at the top”. Then, and only then should we be looking at firing a head coach, who, while isn’t elite, isn’t awful. And considering the alternate options, well, there aren’t many. The Czar comes to mind. I’m not a fan of Van Gundy. And LB wore out his welcome with the players. So, only if Joe is able to get in players that will legitimately make this team a contender (and I’ll get to what that means in a moment) should we look at changing coaches. And that may very well be the case sooner than later.
The Draft The Pistons hold the #15 pick and the #27 pick in the first round. These two picks are HUGE to the future of this franchise. These two picks may allow Joe to rebuild without tearing down. Right now the Pistons, while everyone says they’re old, have a solid young core. Rip (29), Tayshaun (27), Carlos (25), Maxiell (24), and Amir (20) provide a nice core of youth. When you add two more first rounders to that, it appears that the Pistons have an ideal mix of young and old. I won’t get into who the Pistons end up choosing. I will however, strongly expect that the Pistons draft a PG and a big man. Chauncey may get his payday, but the Pistons will be looking for a true point guard. Someone who can come in off the bench and provide instant offense for himself and by being a playmaker. Preferably and drive and dish type player that can find a niche with Delfino as an outside shooter. Check out the thread in Around The NBA to see the options. A big man would be nice, especially if the Pistons choose not to resign Webber and eventually move Nazr. In fact, we may very well see the Pistons select a big man with the #15, if they believe he can produce more than Webber. That’s kinda the situation I’m hoping for at this point.
The Attitude
You’re sick of it. I’m sick of it. We are all sick of it. This team is not the blue-collar, going to work team that we fell in love with during the 2002-2004 years. This team is ****y, arrogant, egotistical. And unjustifiably so. To be honest, I think the #1 culprit is Chauncey Billups. Yeah he’s a smooth talker and says all the right things in the interviews. But it’s the things he doesn’t say. It’s the wry smile after chucking the most ill-advised shot I’ve ever seen in game 4. He’s the captain. He has to change things in that locker room. Hopefully Joe has a nice talk to him, because I really can’t expect that Joe would put up with the self-entitlement that this team has portrayed. Rip showed some signs of improvement, as far as technicals go, in the playoffs. And Tayshaun showed he wasn’t afraid to put Rasheed in his place. Now we need to see that on a daily basis. It shouldn’t come to a surprise to see these players get mad at each other for arguing with the refs, instead of always siding with their teammate. There’s no doubt the Pistons have developed a negative repitoire with the officials. That’s got to change.
The Play
What are we? During the regular season we shared the ball, found the mismatch, and attacked the basket. Against Cleveland we took the first shot, avoided the lane, and played one-on-one basketball. Offensively, I still believe the Pistons can succeed without a superstar (OMG, there’s that word). However, they need Chauncey to play like the Chauncey of 2006. They need Rip to know his role (jabroni, okay, I couldn’t resist). And they need Maxiell to continue to progress in the new Ben Wallace. He’s gotta crash the O-boards and create havoc. Something that lacked from this last year’s starting lineup. Defensively, we have to play better. On all fronts. Rasheed got dunked on and suddenly went from defensive spark to curious onlooker. That attitude won’t cut it. If getting dunked on is too embarressing for you, then someone needs to put you in your place, especially when you have that much talent. So again, alot of it falls back to the attitude of the leaders of this team.
In conclusion...
Things need to change. However, you are not going to see the blowup of this team. Not yet. Chauncey gets his payday, and this team looks very similar come November. However, major changes aren’t far. This could be our last year with Sheed. This is likely the beginning of a youth movement. Think about that for a minute. Every team goes through cycles. The Pistons have been to 5 straight ECFs. They will in all likelihood be a top 3 team in the East again. If they are able to quietly rebuild with some youth, like I said above, then we as fans should be thrilled. Not many franchises can win and rebuild at the same time. However, with Rasheed’s 2 years left, and the crop of youngsters we are assembling, it looks like Joe has done a pretty darn good job. So, have at it. Tear this post up. Just remember, it’s not too bad being a Pistons fan. Just look at the Celtics. Or the Hawks. Or the Pacers (gee remember when they were the next greatest thing?).
I WILL MAKE THIS SHORT AND SWEET .. GOODEN AND GIBSON ARE PLAYING WAY OVER THEIR HEAD .. GIBSON GETTING CALLS LIKE HIS LAST NAME WAS WADE .. 11FT ATTMPTS IN THE 1ST HALF FROM A COMP NOBODY ..

Detroit Pistons. I figured now would be a good time to get back in the swing of things. 
So, here’s how this is going to shake out. I’m not going to suggest that the team gets blown up. I’m not going to yell “Fire Flip” without a legit alternative option. I’m not going to throw at you some ridiculous Kobe trade threads.
