A chance to sneak one? Pistons @ Heat game thread

PrintThe Details
Detroit Pistons (17-29, 5-19 Road)
Miami Heat (31-14, 16-5 Home)
The Situation
I'm on the record saying the Heat have the best roster in the NBA. I'd still put money on them to win the championship.
However, tonight represents a golden opportunity for the Pistons to pick up a game they have no business winning. Dwyane Wade was monstrous last night (to the tune of 34 points, 16 rebounds, 5 assists) in a loss to the Knicks, but he is coming off migraines. Chris Bosh is out, and the whole team is on the second stage of a back to back.
Let's face it, the Heat are only as good as their big three. Wade and LeBron combined for 84 minutes last night. Joel Anthony is going to earn the most minutes of any big, and the Pistons are playing their best ball of the season.
The Pistons may be without the services of Rodney Stuckey. In which case, Rip Hamilton's flu is likely to go away, and we may see him starting alongside Tracy McGrady. That should be an interesting dynamic. [Ed. note - Stuckey and Rip are both out. Lots of Gordon and Bynum. - Packey]
But again, it comes down to James and Wade. They should be emboldened by the home crowd, but there is only so much they can do with no rest.
Question of the game
How does Kuester assign guard minutes if Stuckey is out? Could have an impact on whether the Pistons remain competitive for an eight seed going forward.
Miami Sizzle

not shown in that video
that lebron was god awful for almost every other second that he was on the floor.
7-24
Almost as bad as Kobe in game 7 last year.
As a basketball fan, I actually enjoy seeing LeBron dominate. I enjoy great players doing great things in general, in fact. It’s depressing to me every time he hurls an off-balance 3 or makes for a sloppy turnover. I want PERFECTION.
This signature is false.
i like watching kobe dominate

As Bullshit as some of those calls at the end were, we still had enough chances to take it.
CV and Ben both missed relatively easy opportunities in the last couple of minutes. BG in particular, for a guy with such a ‘clutch’ reputation, seems to only hit his shots during ‘soft’ patches of the game. His ‘big’ shots always seem to clunk out, then get followed up by some kind of lazy turnover or careless foul.
It seems like Gordon's clutch stayed in Chicago.
In his final season with Chicago, he had an eFG% of .569 in “clutch” minutes (4th quarter or overtime, less than 5 minutes left, neither team ahead by more than 5 points). He hasn’t come close to that since coming to Detroit.

Interesting Stat, I would've guessed as much. Interesting to see it confirmed with the numbers.
It’s a real shame, as I so want the guy to do well. I loved him in Chicago, and as a fellow Brit n all, i’ve always been rooting for him. Lately though, ‘rooting for him’ has turned more into ‘cursing him and everything he stands for loud enough to scare small children 3 streets away, and damn near putting my foot through the screen every time he clunks yet another piss-poor jumper off the god-damn rim’.
I don't think the problems are solely on him.
But yes, he’s been underwhelming for the most part. Although I’d say this was a good night for him all things considered.

You know, I thought to myself:
“If we hit 20 wins before 30 losses, I think we have a shot at the playoffs.”
So yep, playoffs are out the window.

That is so freaking random
I love it!
"You’d be surprised what you can accomplish if you’re not concerned with making sense!"- PS
I would like to point out
If you’re going to swallow the whistle at the end and let them play (fouls and all), why not swallow the whistle when a player is so wide open under the basket it’s a joke and it makes no difference to the play if the player waits less than a 10th of a second between legal and illegal and that tenth of a second has absolutely no effect on the play at all. Why does the ref have to effect the game like that?
Just got back from watching it at a bar
1) I feel bad for being happy when Lebron was hurt. Dude’s a product of a failed system. I was a fucking idiot at 18. If by that age I had spent my entire pubescent life having my ass kissed, I’d be a douchebag too. I dislike it when I hold others to higher standards than myself.
2) I don’t feel any remorse for laughing at the fact that the players Lebron played with tonight were: Mike Miller, Jermaine Jones, Mario Chalmers, Eddie House, the 11th best player for the Cavs last year, Juwan Howard, and Carlos A. BAWHAHAHAHAHAHAHAH BAWHAHAHAHAHAHAHAH BAWHAHAHAHAHAHAHAH.
3) Losing fucking sucks. I hate you David Stern’s minions.
It's true, I'm a rageaholic. I just can't live without rageahol!

You can definitely put a +1 in the Daye Swagger category after this game
Maybe for the moose to with that turn around shot.
