^I agree, tayshawn is my favourite on the pistons, he is very consistent and good all around. Though all of the pistons are good.
Fans of 2 completely stacked teams calling each other cocky? I don't think that either fan base has any room to talk. I'm more impressed by the underrated teams taking these series to 7 game streches.

Please, enough with "Cavs taking the Pistons to Game 7" I have a feeling, you'll tell your grandchildren when u get old, and tell them how great the Cavs were only because they took the Pistons to the final game.
I am a Pistons lover, but they are as dead as Abraham Lincoln. No way they can beat this Heat team, with the X-factor being of course... Antoine Walker.(yes you read that correct) Shaq and Wade are just playing way too good right now, defensively the Pistons are nowhere near last year, and until someone learns Ben to actually make a jumper, the Pistons won't go back to the finals. IF they get some more frontcourt offense, I can see Detroit back in the race next year, but this year, they are simply not good enough.
Detroit has been shooting a horrible percentages this series, and I think the Cavs and Heat have learned that this Pistons team is mainly a jump shooting team, and the Heat is out to prove that you can't win a championship with a bunch of jump shooters. Their offense has fallen apart, but I won't say the same about their defense. But Wade is shooting a mind-blowing 70%. Any explanations? Might as well trade for Kirk Hinrich this summer if needed to.

Come off it.

Detroit needs to watch out tommorow. The Deisel got pissed after last night and 6-20 won't happen again. Also, everyone please get off that "block" that Ben Wallace had on Shaq. If you look at the replay he pushed off Shaq's shoulder and there was tons of contact. No foul of course, God forbid we touch one of the Pistons though.
<div class="quote_poster">Quoting playmaker15:</div><div class="quote_post">Really?? Wade got to the line 3 times last night.</div> One game does not tell the whole story. The thing that I find worse is how....refs never notice when he walks or palms the ball.
Every player in the league does that, to put it all on one player is ridiculous. If they heven't called it all year wait till next year to start.
Maybe but then again he does it the most. Rules need to be tighted up...so none of that continues...especially during the playoffs. Wade catches soo many players with the crossover where he fakes it one way, but goes the other way. Refs let it go but we all know that it was a carry. You can argue Iverson used to do that too, but Wade brings the ball higher and he is pratically holding it in the palm of his hand.
Wade certainly gets more treatment than any player since MJ and he does often travel when he gets into the paint and yes he does palm the ball alot but If the refs don't call It then there sin't much you can do about It. I think tonight is a game 7 for Miami like It is for the Pistons, they need to close It out tonight and do what the Cavs didn't because If the Pistons win tonight and make It 3-3 after the Heat had a 3-1 lead their hearts will be broken and winning a game 7 in Detroit is almost impossible.
<div class="quote_poster">Quoting AllNet:</div><div class="quote_post">Wade certainly gets more treatment than any player since MJ and he does often travel when he gets into the paint</div> I can name one other dude that gets some nice treatment. His name is Lebron James. See Game 3 or 4 i think it was where he hits the game winner at the end. That is the biggest travel i have every seen. It's unbelievable he got away with it.
If the Pistons come back to win this series, I think you have to go back to this play to credit them for waking up. Ben Wallace roofed Shaq and the Pistons went on a their game winning run right after. The Pistons have the momentum back, and they seem to thrive under must win games. Both teams will treat tonight like a Game 7, so it should go down to the wire. I think Rip might make an impact in tonight's game. Wade missed practice, and he's banged up. He's owned Rip so far in the series, but tonight Rip can make amends by outplaying Wade or matching his output. I don't know how long Detroit can ride Tay scoring over 25 a game. Sheed or Rip need to have a big night in Game 6 to bring the series back to Detroit.
