What has happened to the Detroit Pissedons?

[daggerkobe]

Didn't they use to be good?

Did Billups really make that much of a difference?

[ryanXL977]

they havent been good all year

[pimike]

I am on thme 2nd half -3.5, I hope they make a game out of this.

[daggerkobe]

GL.... I got -1.5 but it dont look good down by 14.

[Doc JS]

They traded a "team guy" who made everyone around him better by getting them the ball in the places on the court that they could do the most damage for a "41% from the floor shooter, gotta have the ball in my hands scorer".

This was a great trade for Denver. A terrible one for Detroit.

The window has officially closed on the Detroit Pistons chances of winning another championship with the team as it is currently constructed.

76-72

76-72

82-72

[daggerkobe]

damn, they had a chance to cut it to 1 and Rashweed airballs a 3. Now 7-0 run by Suns.

[InTheHole]

83-74

[ryanXL977]

lest be honest here, even with billups they werent top 3 in east
so what did they lose? maybe now they cant get out of round 1 and lose in round 2? big deal. bad trade but they were gonna lose most of their old dudes anyhow so he took a shot bc stuckey is the pg of the future anyhow
i dont see anything wrong with dealing billups bc he had a badass pg behnd him

[pimike]

83-74

As long as they lose by no more than 8 i make money on this crap game.

[Tsoprano]

They were in the driver's seat cutting that lead down, then 4 or more careless turnovers to kill it.

[Tsoprano]

Here's to a strong 4th quarter:

[Fiasco]

Pistons Ml +500 going into the 4th

[Tsoprano]

And it starts with a ridiculous offensive foul giving the ball away in the opening seconds.

Unreal.

[Fiasco]

holly crap

never in my life have i seen a poorer executed 4 on 1

[daggerkobe]

4 on 1 and they turn it over.

[Tsoprano]

A 4-1 AND THE SUNS DRAW AN OFFENSIVE FOUL ON DETROIT. FUKK YOU IVERSON.

Terrible last second choice. When will these turnovers end?

Could of cut it to a 6 pt game.

[pimike]

Lets get your shit together PISTONS. I believe they have a run in them

wasnt iversons fault

it was whoever got the charge (mcdaise maybe?)

should have kicked back to iverson or to the left

[daggerkobe]

Iverscum is tuuuuuuurrrible.

[Tsoprano]

Grant Hill missing both free throws.

Unreal

[Fiasco]

rip is worse than ai

[ryanXL977]

pistons have been bad all year long
are you guys really shocked?

[Fiasco]

they're no worse than phoenix...

both teams look terrible...

[daggerkobe]

Rip is 10-17fg, 23pts.

[ryanXL977]

i dont agree there
i think suns are better than detroit. for sure.

[BestPlay2day]

Pistons traded Billups away because he just signed a longterm deal. Iverson is on the last year of his contract and won't be back on the Pistons next year. Everyone knows Billups is a way better player and teamate than Iverson, Detriot wasn't going anywere this year so they made the trade.

[ryanXL977]

BINGO!!!
