Dr. Rat Posted June 3, 2005 Report Posted June 3, 2005 no way this is going to game 7 - the heat will win the next one in detroit! ← What's Wade's status? Is he out/seriously disabled for game 6? --eric Quote

Guy Berger Posted June 3, 2005 Report Posted June 3, 2005 What's Wade's status? Is he out/seriously disabled for game 6? --eric ← ESPN says he is questionable for game 6. I assume as long as the injury is minor and the pain isn't too bad, he'll play. But it's a lucky break for Detroit when they desperately need it. Guy Quote

Guy ← Considering last night's game was about as poorly called as you could possibly do against Detroit, they deserve a lucky break. Quote
connoisseur series500 Posted June 3, 2005 Report Posted June 3, 2005 Heat should be favored to win the series since they only have to win one out of the next two games, but the Pistons are world champs, and you can throw those statistics out the window. Quote
Guy Berger Posted June 3, 2005 Report Posted June 3, 2005 By the way, does anyone else agree that Alonzo Mourning deserves the "Biggest Tool of the 2005 Playoffs" award after that rebound=>turnover near the end of the game? Guy Quote
Jim Alfredson Posted June 3, 2005 Report Posted June 3, 2005 Alonzo is pretty annoying. I mean, I know he's excited and all, but after every shot blocked or rebound he acts like he just won the game. The Pistons will win the next two. Quote
ejp626 Posted June 3, 2005 Report Posted June 3, 2005 I didn't watch all of game 4 or 5, but caught bits and pieces of both. One thing I did notice was that in game 4 Detroit was making all kinds of freak outside shots where the ball would bounce high above the rim before going in. I was thinking that if they had missed 5 or 6 of them, and the Heat had rebounded (the second being a strong assumption) then the game would have been completely different. Lo and behold, they didn't make those shots in game 5 (shooting percentage under 40% vs. 52% in game 4) and that was the difference. Game 6 should be intense. One thing that bodes well for the Heat is that the role players are playing with a lot more confidence. Also, Sheed looks like he is heading for a meltdown, rolling around on the court when the call doesn't go his way. The next set of refs may not be afraid to T him up. Quote
BruceW Posted June 3, 2005 Report Posted June 3, 2005 LB will never measure up to SVG AKA RJ ← Soouuuulstation1, That is really cold to show a picture of RJ. Now tell me, would even you have wanted to experience the experiences of RJ??? Tell the truth....... So what you are saying is that SVG is RJ and experienced those things......... Did anybody else get this???? Man, I hate Detroit melting down like this. Sheed is in trouble, he also said "they" want a 7 gave series intimating that the League is behind the refs controlling that game from the start to induce a loss for the Pistons. The Pistons didn't need that help in this one, they stunk. Bruce Quote
SEK Posted June 3, 2005 Report Posted June 3, 2005 Man, I hate Detroit melting down like this. Sheed is in trouble, he also said "they" want a 7 gave series intimating that the League is behind the refs controlling that game from the start to induce a loss for the Pistons. The Pistons didn't need that help in this one, they stunk. I agree that the Pistons could have lost game 5 all by themselves. They did not need the refs' help, but the refs did step in to disrupt the Pistons' momentum at key points. (The Pistons-Pacers series seemed to have a lot more no-calls and consistency), Actually, both teams would benefit from more consistent calls by the officials. But one knows that usually different individual players are going to get different calls for the same behavior; thet's a given, and players do get paid millions to play through such differential effects of the NBA star system. Quote
Jim Alfredson Posted June 3, 2005 Report Posted June 3, 2005 I don't agree. The Pistons came out of the gate at the start of the game with energy and were hitting shots and defending well. The game was tied or back-and-forth up until the crap fouls started getting called. Getting no respect from the officials tends to take the wind out of the sails. Quote

Quote
Jim Alfredson Posted June 3, 2005 Report Posted June 3, 2005 Because I don't like the Heat. Duh! Quote
Tjazz Posted June 4, 2005 Report Posted June 4, 2005 They did not need the refs' help, but the refs did step in to disrupt the Pistons' momentum at key points. Game 4, the Refs seemed to against the Heat, so the match would be tied. Game 5, the calls went against the Pistons. I'm expecting the calls to go against the HEAT in game 6. Hopefully, the calls will be balanced in the 7th game. Quote

But last night, when he rebounded the ball, held it out to show off, and then had it stolen by a Piston -- how lame can you get! Guy Quote
Soulstation1 Posted June 4, 2005 Author Report Posted June 4, 2005 (edited) the mustard fell off the hotdog!! Edited June 4, 2005 by Soulstation1 Quote
Guy Berger Posted June 5, 2005 Report Posted June 5, 2005 Wade not playing, Shaq hobbled... Miami is in trouble unless Wade plays, and plays great, in game 7. Now, if they somehow manage to injure Duncan, the Pistons might actually win the title. Guy Quote
Jim Alfredson Posted June 5, 2005 Report Posted June 5, 2005 Yeah, and I can just bet that if they do win this series and go on to win the championship, we'll hear the same crap from Piston haters as we've heard all year about the last championship. Quote
Noj Posted June 5, 2005 Report Posted June 5, 2005 (edited) All Laker excuses aside, in the end the Pistons were the best team in the NBA last year and won the title outright. They don't call 'em the defending champs for nothing. 26 points, this one is a laugher. Edited June 5, 2005 by Noj Quote
SEK Posted June 5, 2005 Report Posted June 5, 2005 Hopefully, the calls will be balanced in the 7th game. That would be nice, and I'll try not to hold my breath. Quote
connoisseur series500 Posted June 5, 2005 Report Posted June 5, 2005 Heat scored 66 points last night (going by memory.) Is this the team that will beat the Pistons in game 7? Advantage: Pistons. Quote
Guy Berger Posted June 5, 2005 Report Posted June 5, 2005 All Laker excuses aside, in the end the Pistons were the best team in the NBA last year 4th or 5th best Guy Quote
Guy Berger Posted June 5, 2005 Report Posted June 5, 2005 Heat scored 66 points last night (going by memory.) Is this the team that will beat the Pistons in game 7? Advantage: Pistons. ← Of course, if the best player in this series isn't playing tomorrow then the Pistons will win game 7. Guy Quote
Noj Posted June 5, 2005 Report Posted June 5, 2005 So what teams were better, Guy? The Spurs? They choked against a hobbled Laker team and the miracle Derek Fisher pulled out of a perfect pass from the Glove. The Kings? They've always got their "regular season champion" hats. The TWolves? They were playing over their heads as evidenced by their horrendous play this year with virtually the same squad. The Rockets? No. The Mavs? No. The Suns? No. I knew as soon as Rasheed Wallace joined the Pistons that they were tops in the East, so all East teams are out. The Wallace/Wallace combo is the real deal. Quote
