If Orlando's blog is no longer "3rd Quarter Collapse" ...
Does that mean the name is free for the taking? Cause I can think of a team from Detroit that might deserve a name like that.

Hey Pistons Fans!!!!
After Friday’s loss to Miami, the Pistons became the WORST 3-point shooting team in the league, passing New Jersey for that Numba One Spot.
can we overtake Orlando tonight
to become the worst free throw shooting team in the league? we’re just .2% away from that title.
is it possible for a team to have no offense?
cuz that’s how it feels watching the last game and thus far…wilcox in the post for a fadeaway jumper 10 seconds into the shotclock?…giving the team the ball on silly turnovers…they’re playing like they’re tanking the season
question for you guys?
name 3 ppl on another team with a longer combined wingspan than Maxiell, Prince, and Daye
lol Stan Van Gundy...yes
It's Silly MF. Official! Detroit Fan till I die, take it to the bank. Will Bynum and Big Ben are the best. I love Jessica Anne Nemeth forever. Gonna drink till I die. thats how we do it in CrAkron. The University of.
and that is why I laughed so damn hard...that image just lol
It's Silly MF. Official! Detroit Fan till I die, take it to the bank. Will Bynum and Big Ben are the best. I love Jessica Anne Nemeth forever. Gonna drink till I die. thats how we do it in CrAkron. The University of.
Oden, Przybilla, Aldridge
each listed at about 7’4" wingspan. give or take a half inch
idk what steven hunter's wingspan is...
but Zach Randolph and Rudy Gay each have 7’3" or 7’4" wingspans. and Hunter is a 7’0" PF. i’d give it to him
between haitians and nets fans its hard to decide who is suffering more.

I am embarrassed to say that there was a hot chick dancing between me and the TV last night. But I couldn’t take my eyes off the NBA games.
am I addicted to basketball?
theres a gentlemen's club in my hometown...
They always use to play basketball games on the tv’s there. I always used to find myself fixated on the screens when a game was on instead of the ‘entertainment’. I completely know where you are coming from.
lmfao last time I went to a strip club
I watched the game the whole time. My girlfriend was with me, she was happy needless to say.

got lucky, anything more and the cops know it would be worth the time to contest. $20 is bloomberg’s just for the hell of size ticket.
bloomberg got me and my wife for
riding a bike on the sidewalk, not shoveling snow on the sidewalk, parking in front of a pedestrian ramp to nowhere(175. +tow), parking in front of imaginary bus stop, making a right turn on the green, ….all in one year and that doesn’t include the 25 cents for five minutes parking meters.

UGH. That is shitty. Did the cops ever give you a bullshit explanation, that made you want to punch them in the face?
For my ticket last night, the cop, who’d made my roommate and I stand out in the cold for 15 minutes while he sat in his idling car, then pretended like the ticket wasn’t just a blatant attempt to fill his quota at the last minute and said, “we’ve had some robberies here in the area and are hitting the park hard to clean it up.”
basically, shorter cop-speak: “I’m giving you this ticket to protect you.”
it was 7:30 pm, families with strollers were still walking through the fucking park.
trying to understand how we got back into this game looking at the box score
more Magic futility or Pistons actually playing well?

wonders if he can trade tayshaun prince in his fantasy league
or is that a lost cause?

lost cause,
no one is going to want to deal with him. they all look at season numbers. Even though he has been injured Tay has always been a player where the best thing he brings to the table are his intangibles. Too bad thats not an fantasy stat.
I know...and I have no clue why I drafted him.
oh well my fantasy team sucks this year anyways

hmm
so the only team we really have match up problems with in the eastern conference is Cleveland.
thats just my opinion though.
We actually match up with everyone
the only problem is that they match up with us better

ok well updated
well I just looked at the past games and it appears we have lost to Cleveland only once making us 0-1 and we beat ATL making us 1-0.
and we are 1-0 against Boston.
making us 3-2 against the top 4 teams in the Eastern conference. Not really that bad considering we are Tied for 12th place in the Eastern conference.
is it sad if I am excited that I only had one virus on my computer...

why didnt we run some time off the clock on that last rebound?
instead of jacking up a desperation 3?
when's the last time we needed a 3 to win the game or go into OT and we made it?
i know we’ve failed so many times since then
last season?

well its pretty obvious who was going to pull the trigger.
6-3 Ben Gordon vs 6-10 Rashard Lewis
yeah I wouldn’t have wanted to shoot a 3 either.

I thought he was known in the league for being a shooter?
we always epic fail in these situations and TO the ball when we need a bucket

ever since
ever since that string of games where stuckey, bynum and gordon were putting up about 20 each he really hasn’t had a very good shooting %.
I believe he is more than capable of bouncing back but has shown no sign of it.
heres my favorite stat
3 pt Field Goals Made/Attempted
Ben Gordon 0/4
Rip Hamilton 1/3
Jonas Jerebko 2/3
WHO should have taken the 3 when we needed it? Ben Gordon of course…how about no

it doesn't matter how much worse the nets are
the worst team only ever gets a 25% chance at the number one pick. the pistons could have a legit shot with 10-20%
they could...but we have no luck lol

Al-Farouq Aminu
6-8 small forward from Wake Forrest. 16.8 ppg ,1.6apg, 11.3bpg, .464fg%, .306 3p% athletic, good ball skills, attacks the boards hard and has good range. according to ESPN.
Of course our best player
already plays point guard. Trading Stuckey after spending the last two years doing whatever we could not to trade him would kind of suck.
Nah trade Bynum and Rip
Wall point, Stuckey at the two
BAD!!!
Trade Rip okay…Trade Bynum? NO!

Where will Bynum get playing time
Wall, Stuckey and Gordan( if he remembers how to shot) will dominate the gaurd spots
I'm sure somebody could come up with something.
Bynum is a legit threat off the bench for bursts and quick scoring…he’s important to our team. He brings passion and attitude. I like him we need him

No need to apologize
I was just curious since I have seen it often. I thought it was a joke and I wanted in on it.
Further below, you can find Will Bymun.

Wall-SF

C-
I believe tay will be traded, its only a matter of time. And I believe this off season will be good to our power forward position :)
and Bynum off the bench. See told you someone could come up with something

I do like Bymun
but we have a bunch of SF’s and a sign and trade deal with Bynum and Rip/Prince is probably our best chance to an established low post scorer.
I'm sorry
I just feel like bynum is an extremely valuable asset and I don’t believe we would ever get true market value for him.
imho he is the quickest player off the dribble in the NBA.
I actually agree with you
but i just think (and remember this is all hypothetical as Pistons need to get Wall) he would struggle for PT and because he is a valuable asset Pistons could be best served by using him as a trade piece to try and get bigger. Dont get me wrong I am a Bynum fan but sometimes you must make tough calls.

A sad tale...
I’d just like to comment on the difficult sports weekend I’ve had:
Last Sunday the Vikings (and the refs) blew one of the most important games I’ve ever watched.
On Tuesday I was at Crisler Arena watching the Spartans barely beat my Michigan Wolverines by a single point.
And now this collapse today, plus the Pistons’ other disasters.
Life is tough.
no
the Vikings blew it, not the refs
thank you

Ha.
Sure, they played horribly at times- the fumbles are inexcusable, and Brett’s last interception was vintage Favre (God, I hate the Packers), but the refs blew some calls. Looking at overtime alone:
The 4th and inches, possession of the ball was lost and it clearly never crossed the plane.
That pass interference call was on an uncatchable throw.
The ball definitely hit the ground on the 2 and 18 toss.
The league even admits it made a mistake: http://sports.espn.go.com/nfl/playoffs/2009/news/story?id=4868880. That would have completely changed the face of the game, and allowed us to not have to rely on stupid FaRVe at the end of a close game.
Oh, well…
Favre dragged those bums to the semi-finals.
That alone was great… but he couldn’t close it out. The loss is on him and the team, not the refs. Trust me, the NFL would’ve loved to see them in the Bowl.
"I’ve had to overcome a lot of diversity." — Drew Gooden
so does anyone feel lilke looking up the last second bucket/3 pointer the pistons made to force overtime or to win the game?
Chauncey’s 3 against the Nets in a playoff lost and Sheed’s 60-footer off a last second steal come to mind…but those were some big ones…any more recent ones?
Cryverson made one against OKC last year
If I’m remembering correctly. Would Stuckey’s shot against Philly count this year? We didn’t have the last possession.

BEST MORAL VICTORY YET
I’m getting so sick of loosing.
On the upside, it seems like we’re getting a lot more good Stuckey than bad Stuckey lately. Jonas continues to make Tay look expendable, we outrebounded them, and Big Ben defended Dwight as well as any 35 year old ever has.
On the downside, it’s yet another home loss, we let JJ Redick lead them in scoring, we got 7-26 6 TO’s & 6 ASTS out of our 22+ million SGs, and we shot 39% as a team.
