<div class="quote_poster">Quoting Crywalker:</div><div class="quote_post">Wow, call me a sore loser, but it sure looks like the refs just took this one into their own hands. that's isn't to say the Pistons aren't playing well, that certainly isn't true, but I don't like how this second half is working out.</div>Free throws: DET - 23 BOS - 9 I'll let that stat speak for itself. Anybody wanna guess where the game was played?

Damn, I missed the game. Sounds like a loss to me. From reading this thread i'm thinking Paul had a sub par night, Ricky shined, and Raef couldn't knock down the three ball.

I'm really tired of refs that are too chickensh*t to make unpopular calls on the road. The reason the Palace is such a great place for this Pistons team is because the fans are so drunken and rowdy, refs are scared to cross them. No more beer after the first quarter! (The last two sentences were a joke, by the way.)
When you win an NBA title and dominate the conference the past few years while having very tough pysical players you are going to get the calls. Pistons get respect from the refs, well apart from Sheed.

I just hate it when it seems like everything is going your way (even calls!), and then everything just falls apart at once. It wasn't like our defense was very good, but it was playing well until the second half. Can't stand those meltdowns. Good game, all in all.
