Re: "Good Bye, Good Bye, Hey Hey Hey Hey GOOD BYE!" Alright, I know the Pistons didnt play very well at all in the Cavs series.. thats because I think the Pistons were not playing as well as they should you know.. taking this round very easily.. I think they really had to regroup after Game 5 and they did. Also they had a reason to really take this round easily plus be a little cocky since there the 2 time reignig East Champs and former NBA Champ.
Re: "Good Bye, Good Bye, Hey Hey Hey Hey GOOD BYE!" I find it hilarious that people are saying that the Pistons are "overrated," I mean... they have only been to the Finals the last two years, winning once and going to Game 7 last year... and they have only gotten to the conference finals for the fourth straight season, right?Please... keep doubting them, and they'll just keep winning. They absolutely LOVE it when they are doubted, and that is when they play their best basketball.Anyway, it should be an interesting series against Miami... I don't know what Flip will try to do defensively, but if he were smart he would follow what Larry Brown did against the Heat last year and the Lakers when they met in the Finals... let Shaq and DWade get their points, but just limit everybody else.

I think sometimes they try to beat teams with their offense too much, but when it comes down to it they are still capable of playing that lockdown defense, and get the job done most of the time when they need to.
Re: "Good Bye, Good Bye, Hey Hey Hey Hey GOOD BYE!" Wow, LeBron played badly in the second half against Detroit. No one's ever had trouble with the Pistons. That's what, one bad half out of 14? And considering LeBron's teammates are so good...

Re: "Good Bye, Good Bye, Hey Hey Hey Hey GOOD BYE!" Kobe didn't even try to bring his team back. He took like 1 shot. Lebron tried and a much better defensive team than the Suns stopped him. That's why there's more talk about Kobe there.And nice job Pistons fans, making a thread bragging about a team you were supposed to beat easily almost beating you guys. You guys should be embarrased by that series. I didn't make a thread like this after the 1st round and I don't like the Lakers at all.And Melo, this is what Nash says to your I hate Nash club:
