I wouldn’t be talking any yap, after last series. I’d just concentrate on killin’ teams and then defending the team and one’s self after the mouths start flapping from the other camp.

Kevin S. nails it, IMHO.

I would like to see more of the “Detroit is a really, tough, physical team” attitude, both mentally and physically. I want opposing players and teams to be worried about that, and I want the Pistons to be thinking like that. That, of course, was the calling card of The Bad Boys and to some extent the 2004 championship team. But I hadn’t heard any Detroit opponent recently complain or compliment the Pistons for being really physical — I don’t recall hearing any of that during the Philly series, from anyone. These guys should be a little “bad” themselves: try to be mentally and physically intimidating.

I honestly do not remember this kind of “fire” in last year’s playoffs. I am SO happy it is happening. I don’t think we’ll lay an egg tonight, as Kenny Smith said, “The switch is flipped.” I totally agree.

Brad - you’re absolutely right about the semantics, and you’re right about it not mattering: D-Ho heard what he wanted to hear, and he’s upset about it. I wouldn’t be surprised if we see him play on fire today. But I also think Max and co. might be the Kryptonite we need…

There’s a huge difference between saying “If you get down low and take his legs out, he’s not that powerful” and “His legs aren’t strong.”

It really doesn’t matter because Howard can’t lower his center of gravity more than Maxiell. Should be a good game.

I agree about Joe making a great move bringing in Rattler. I will be very surprised to see them in the next round, and not Cleveland. Boston could hardly beat Atlanta.

props to joe dumars for bringing in the Rattler
he gives us another body to use against Howard and Garnett and unlike Double D he gives us some offense as well

Haha, so many baby references. Maxiell rules. I think his toughness and willingness to get it on is exactly what the Pistons need. This little feud will hopefully ignite some serious dominance from our guys, and then maybe they can get some rest if they put Orlando to bed early. I’m looking forward to the Celtics/Cavs.

I really agree so much.. Maxiell matches Howard so well

Max has discovered that while “D-ho’s” upper body is Superman strong, his legs are his (ahem) Achille’s Heels - they are baby soft. Delicious, delicious baby.

Come on. It was trash talk. The Pistons just have to back it up by winning game two. If they do, then the trash talk works, and the Magic are demoralized to some degree.

If not, then we get 48 hours of “cocky Pistons” stories, and the Pistons spend a nervous first half of game three turning the ball over.

It is about time we got our attitude back to where it should be. I like the fact that Max got into the fray, like Lewis was hiding a delicious baby from him!
