I'm sick of this babbling about Rasheed Wallace being a cry baby. Lets talk about your team. First off, the one I hate most - Alonzo Mourning. Talk about cry babies, this washed up piece of sh** demands a trade from New Jersey and then will not play for the team he gets traded to so he can sign with a contender! Ha! Nice kidneys 'Zo. I also like how he does those overly exaggerated celebrations, especially when he celebrates over a call against the pistons. Second, Shaq - The fat fu** Detroit destroyed last year. This guy isnt an athlete, he doesnt have talent. He has size, and thats it. To train all shaq has to do is eat, and rarely can score if hes not standing directly under the basket. Thats not talent. Its great to see a guy never get called for fouls when fouls are his game, because hes a superstar. Third, Dwayne Wade. The NBA's poster boy is also the NBA's latest cry baby. He gets flustered when he doesnt score, just like A.I. He puts on those dumb looks if he bricks a shot. Its also nice to see him flop over whenever hes touched. Finally, the referees. I enjoyed miami's 54 free throws in game 3. I dont know how much more blatant it could be that the NBA wants Miami to go to the finals simply because of ratings. Can you imagine pistons-spurs, two defensive teams going at it? David Stern wouldnt want that. I do admit the pistons played like sh**, but this officiating is bullshi*. I give Wade and Shaq their props, but I'm just tired of Wades flopping. Miami's bench has been great as well. May the best team win, hopefully WITHOUT the help of the refs.
Wow talk about bitter! You guys went to the line 46 times in game 3 which is a little high as well. Alonzo demanded a trade because the Nets basically lied to him early on when they said they would aim for a title and then trade away a key part of the team. He is late in his carrer and would die for a ring which is why he came back. How dare you laugh at his sickness. That makes you look like an indecent piece of trash talking about someone with a life threatening disease. I want you to tell Shaq everything you said to his face and see what happens. They didn't destroy him at all look at his numbers in the finals and you'll see. You shouldn't say nything because your center cent even score so shut up tlkin crap bout Shaq. They just took all the role players out of the series, I like how it's worked vs. the Heat. Wade doesn't flop at all he puts his body on the line everytime he takes step on that floor. Yuur probably jealous that you don't have him because he's torn you up all series. Don't think that the league has some conspiracy vs. the Pistons. You guys will never get it don't start a riot in the forum like u did vs. the Pacers please.
Ok youre right, the alonzo thing was low. But I'd like to see you call Sheed a cry baby to his face. I'm not jealous of wade because we have Rip and Billups, better all around players than Wade, and together theyre definately better than Wade. And dont say he doesnt flop. Ever. When I say destroying Shaq i mean beating him in 5 games in a series where the pistons were HUGE underdogs.
How does Wade flop? Whenever he gets fouled he ends up hurt because of the punishment he takes. Like you said together their better than Wade but he's a better player than either one.
Wow i guess someone's not used to losing. I do agree with some of his points on Shaq, he elbows and knocks guys down all the time when he has the ball and if he is not within 6 feet of the basket when he gets the ball he will pass it back out. I also agree that Shaq has very little basketball skill, he mostly just makes dunks or bank shots from 4 feet away or less. I will also agree that Alonzo was an ass for abandoning two teams but Glenn Robinson is worse IMO. And theres no way Rip or Billups have a better all-around game than Wade. Wade is one of the best defenders and scorers in the league.
Playmaker - Watch wade the next time any sort of contact is made while hes on defense. He will jump like hes tripped or will fall backwards almost every time. Its about time he got injured.. How often do you see the pistons do that?] And Run - I guess someone is used to losing if your team is the warriors. just playin.

I too agree that it was childish not to support the team you are currently on and demanding a trade out of Toronto even though the Raptors weren?t close to being championship contenders, but that?s a low blow talking about his kidneys. His situation was life threatening and you laughing about it makes you even worse than him. Being a Knick fan you can tell I?m not a big Alonzo Mourning fan, but I would never make fun of someone with an illness like that. <div class="quote_poster">Quote:</div><div class="quote_post">Second, Shaq - The fat fu** Detroit destroyed last year.

In the finals, he averaged 26.6/10.6 on 63.1% from the field. I have no idea where someone dropping those stats on your team is considered destroying ? perhaps for Wilt Chamberlain, but in this day and age, those are monster stats to average especially when he puts that up on someone who was the second runner-up in the defensive player of the year. Second of all, your assessment of Shaq not being talented is ignorant. Shaq is a banger and being 7-feet 300 pounds helps his cause, but surely that?s not the only reason why he is one of the greatest centers to ever play the game, and is by far the best center now. If that was the case, why isn?t Eddy Curry on his way to the hall of fame? He too is in the same mould as Shaq but Curry being an all-star is a stretch. Or what about Desagana Diop? Is he on his way to superstardom? You can?t just say anyone who is size can do the things he does. In my book anyone who has career averages of 27/12/3/ 2.5 blocks has talent regardless of their size. <div class="quote_poster">Quote:</div><div class="quote_post">Third, Dwayne Wade.

He?s a hardworking, humble guy who has helped taken his team to where they are both last year and this year. He never complains, doesn?t trash talk and I don?t even know if he?s gotten a technical this year. What does him putting on a ?flustered? face have anything to do with it? That has no substance whatsoever. The Pistons lucked out big time when the news came out Wade wasn?t playing and I bet you?re very happy about this as well. <div class="quote_poster">Quote:</div><div class="quote_post">Finally, the referees.

The Pistons hold their destiny in their own hands and blaming it on the refs does not make up for their non-championship like performance they?ve been playing so far this series. Please, no more threads like these, they don?t really serve a purpose other than possibly starting fights.
<div class="quote_poster">Quoting playmaker31:</div><div class="quote_post">you heard it hear from a neutral fan with no steak i nthis series.</div> Yeah.. I have no STEAK in this series either.... Theres a high STAKE but no STEAK.....
A-hemm... 75-49. And Ben just packed Shaq... He is indeed the defensive player of the year SHA-QUILLE.
yea n shaq came back n slammed it in his face. All of our playersa re injured i wouldn;t be so proud of this victory

I honestly think that Mourning has played better then Rasheed Wallace and Ben Wallace throughout the series, just because he is showing heart that doesn't make him bad. You?re just mad because he has been making hustle plays all over the Pistons, and it is frustrating you and the Pistons themselves. If anybodies washed up it's frickin Rasheed Wallace, this player is already a veteran and he still can't learn to deal with officiating and his negative emotions. GROW UP SHEED. I understand the officiating has been very inconsistent, but referees cannot defeat a "championship" team, with "championship" poise.
I am somehwat suprised that larry brown wouldn't hav the class to take out his starters when their up by 27 in the 4th thats a slap in theface in my mind
Haha I wonder if Sheed is gonna come out and say "Thank you referees for hearing me cry.I love you all"
Apart from the cheap shot at Zo and the Shaq comments I basically agree with most of the stuff you posted. Wade gets bailed out like no other guard, It's amazing what he gets away with when attacking the basket. He gets MJ type calls on both ends of the floor. It's quite sickening to watch sometimes. The refs have been bad all year but when you are facing Miami you have to expect them to get alot of calls, mostly star theatment calls. Nothing Sheed said in game 5 was wrong or out of line. What he said was true but he does need to tone It down a little. He is an emotical guy who will say things to make his point.
