connoisseur series500 Posted May 23, 2005 Report Posted May 23, 2005 Damn, SS1, You'll be out another cd. I'm even more confident regarding the Pistons' chances than I was earlier. Tayshaun will limit Wade to 20 pts per game. :bwallace2: it's on heat in 4 sucka probably 7, for the ratings , it's gonna be a physical and tough series i'd say the edge has to go to the champs, but the pistons are no slouches.....

Soulstation1 Posted May 24, 2005 Author Report Posted May 24, 2005 (edited) shaq's in the starting line-up 11-9 heat win the popular vote Edited May 24, 2005 by Soulstation1 Quote
Jim Alfredson Posted May 24, 2005 Report Posted May 24, 2005 After watching the 1st quarter, I am more confident in the Pistons than ever. Why? The match-ups are pretty equal. This series is going to come down to which team that can impose it's will upon the game. And that team is the Pistons. Quote
Tjazz Posted May 24, 2005 Report Posted May 24, 2005 Wade's lay-up has been blocked a few times from behind. Favor goes to Detroit. Quote
Guy Berger Posted May 24, 2005 Report Posted May 24, 2005 I'm worried Stan Van Gundy is going to have a heart attack before we even hit game 5... Guy Quote
Jim Alfredson Posted May 24, 2005 Report Posted May 24, 2005 Silence from the Peanut Gallery, eh? Like I said in my previous post, the Pistons can force their will on a game. Case in point: When the Heat tied it up at 80, they had momentum... the crowd was going NUTS, their bench was going crazy, they just had a huge 9-0 run, everything was going their way... ... and then Chauncey goes down and calmly hits a jumper. Then they get a defensive stop. Then they get more points. Then they hold the Heat scoreless from the field for the nearly the next 4 minutes. Will power, folks. Quote

Will power, folks. ← If Miami plays as poorly as they did today, this will be a short series. I don't think that will happen, though at this point the 1-0 lead has to favor Detroit in a very evenly-matched series. The Heat were probably a little lazy after a long layoff, and maybe a little shell-shocked by a strong opponent that didn't roll over like the Nets or Wiz. In the end it might all come down to coaching -- I don't know if Van Gundy Jr. is capable of making the adjustments necessary to win this series. We shall see... Guy p.s. Was anybody actually able to sit through 4 quarters of this game? This looks like a "turn on your TV after halftime" series. I bet David Stern is having nightmares about a Spurs-Pistons finals.

Jim Alfredson Posted May 24, 2005 Report Posted May 24, 2005 Yeah, I watched the whole thing. I was happy to see the Pistons pull away during the third, but I knew it would come down to the 4th quarter. Most of their games have been won in the second half. Quote

Would it be better to just designate a champion and then those persons would be happy, no playing, but happy they won. These are all good games. Quote
Noj Posted May 24, 2005 Report Posted May 24, 2005 Defense, defense, defense. The Pistons play as a unit, their defensive adjustments are a thing of beauty to behold. They might have the quickest help defense I've ever seen. The Heat don't move the ball well enough in a half court set to break it. The Pistons looked sharper on both ends of the floor. Ben Wallace played magnificent, even contributing timely buckets to go with his usual defensive intensity. :bwallace2: Quote
Soulstation1 Posted May 24, 2005 Author Report Posted May 24, 2005 ok.. the champs took care of bidnezzz in game one 'sheed had a big game anyone else notice the pistons get away with grabbing and bumping? give shaq the ball one foot in front of the hoop flash was scared last night ss1 Quote
Noj Posted May 24, 2005 Report Posted May 24, 2005 The Pistons showed some savvy with that bumping and grabbing stuff--notice Rip's Oscar-worthy exaggerated flops whenever bumped or grabbed? Right out of the Reggie Miller textbook. The Heat were more concerned about getting free than communicating to the refs, that's a mistake. Gotta act. I thought the Pistons committed reaching fouls on more than a few Heat turnovers, but the Heat need to exaggerate for the refs and not make such dangerous passes. Quote
