Bulls fan here. I haven’t been watching the series that closely, but I am shocked that this is a series, let alone that the Pistons are down. Is the Cavs defense that great? I mean, Lebron will be Lebron, but there is no one else on that team. What happened to the Pistons team that utterly destroyed my Bulls in game 1 and 2. That offensive output was impressive, so impressive that I started thinking the Pistons might have a shot against the then unknown Western rep in the finals.

Some really good points guys…. I would agree with Lucas if they were ok with losing then I would be more worried about tonights game. For the first time I really saw something that Flip did that I really did not understand. We were up by maybe 6 or 8 and he had Davis and Mad Max in the game. I know Dice was out but 3 or 4 times down the floor we did not get good looks. Sheed should have been in the game. Anyway! We were in the same spot last year but it feels a little different this year. I don’t know what it it is but it seems like Flip and Webber are bad luck. I would love to see Webber get a ring and for Flip to quit his critics but I really don’t think that is going to happen. What about Sheed? I really think people give him a bad name but he is the real leader of this team. For him to tell everyone on that team what he feels and ask the staff to leave shows me that he has a level of respect from the team. We need to come out and just play hard and smart. I know Matt hates Flip but I understand why. My question is who will be are next coach? I hope the team that showed up in game 6 in Chicago shows up! Lets go Detroit! I am hoping James has no legs remaing after that 48pt 50 min game but we will see.

Hate to admit it, but I’m not watching Game Six. I have little faith in this team and while my friends all call me a fair-weather fan, I just don’t want to be a “Witness” if LeBron takes his putrid team to the NBA Finals. I’ll witness some of that women’s college softball instead. That’s good stuff.

^I’m not sure if that was a jibe at me or not

Anyways, time for your daily delfino update. First, Delfino has been added to the argentina roster for fiba. Hes going to be the only nba argentian there, so it’ll be interesting to see what will happen when hes probably a starter.

Second, I nice little comparison video of Delfino and Rudy Fernandez. http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=dvj_EgdVmeI Fernandez is one of the players I’ve been thinking the pistons might want to draft.

shocker, people want to focus on the locker room problems after a few losses. Chris Sheridan pulled the same crap earlier in the season, and while I believe a Detroit writer more, who actually cares? All 12 guys want to win the series, and that’s all that should matter to us, as fans.

Besides, even if Detroit loses tonight, at least we can watch the women’s college world series. (hopefully anyone not named Matt Gibson or Ian Cameron understands I was being sarcastic with that…)

Pistons…have fun and play the game your way. Forget about convincing the refs that you’re the victims, instead, focus on convincing us that you still care enough to play for the Championship.

Remember how energized you were in ‘06 after losing the title to San Antonio in game 7? Duncan and crew are waiting for us now and a rematch would be such redemption for last year’s disappointing playoff run.

If you’re in it to win it, show us and we’ll hoist you on to the throne that you’ve so deserved for the past 5 years. Yes, the same one that King James has prematurely claimed for himself.

Five years ago Le Bron was 17 and more concerned about what he was going to wear to the prom than how to wear the down the Pistons’ defense.

He’ll have his time, but this is still ours. So go ahead, prove it. You’re the underdogs once more. And there couldn’t be a more perfect ending to this whole saga…It’s you against the World, hell, us against the World again. And that’s exactly how we like it in the ‘D’.

Apparently the tension is for real.

Boys, SHUP UP AND BALL! Thats it! Play Pistons D and make sure you get a good shot off everytime down the court. No rushed shots, no ill advised 3’s. When we have a small 3 or 4 point lead go for the kill and get easy baskets. It seems everytime the Pistons start to take charge, they try bad threes and let them back into the game! It happened like 3 times in game 5. Feed Sheed in the post and block and keep Rips screens going and we will win!

Also, for all the horrible articles Chris Sheridan writes on ESPN, his chat transcripts are actually lacking bias. ESPN must be pushing op-ed pieces as a NY Post-style of publication in order to compete on some level with Deadspin.

Joe Dumars is all about players with good character? That seems a little thick right now. Between Webber’s deadpan halftime reports and his oft-surprised looks that eerily match Nazr Mohammed’s, and Rasheed’s temper inspiring him to not a whole hell of a lot, I think that can be re-qualified to denote that Dumars is all about players with colorful character. Not one of those guys, even deadpan Webber, inspires anyone to do anything but either love or hate.

I actually think that Tayshaun, one on one, isn’t the best answer for LeBron, especially in game-ending scenarios. Here’s video of two times that LBJ blew by Tayshaun with the game on the line, and we all saw him do it again last night.

Rip did a pretty damn good job staying in front of LeBron at the end of Game 2, why not try it again? Oh, not to mention, WHERE WAS THE DOUBLE TEAM? After LBJ scored I don’t know, 10 or 12 straight, how about seeing if Boobie has the stones to beat you on the next 6 or 7 possessions? Just a hunch, but I’m guessing he wouldn’t have.
