There were definitely some missed calls, but to lose a one point game leaving what we did on the line, there is no blame needed for anyone but our star players who just came up short. I really can't imagine Stern wanting Detroit in another finals. they are a proven ratings killer. How so? Do you have any evidence to backup that claim? If last years lowest rated Finals of all-time taught us anything its that people want to see 2 equally matched teams. You will get that with the Pistons. Yeah, weren't the 2004 NBA Finals one of the highest rated finals of all time? He is right to some extent, though. The NBA is getting sick of seeing us every year. I'm sure they would have liked Orlando to beat us, especially with the rising popularity of Howard.

I've seen plenty of Magic. Howard bruises his thumb and he's practically in tears; Nelson and Rashard complaining about being called a finesse team (which they are) Stan Van Gundy and Dwight Howard complaining because we are being too physical... A tough team would fight back, not complain in the media because we are roughing them up. The Magic a tough team. Cute.

Well, this is Around the NBA, a forum for discussing other teams.

He's supposed to annoy the other team, to get the crowd into it. It's called home-court advantage. It is not our fault you've got a lame PA guy. Really? So you want your PA announcer to distract from the play on the court? I'd argue that if you find our PA announcer to be lame, then he really IS doing his job. He doesn't detract from the game. He makes it more exiting. And having a boring PA is NOT a good thing.

And yet he's still more masculine than any of the Magic players.

QUOTE]You guys are like the guy in high school that talks alot about how many women he gets and then everyone finds out that they all love you like a friend. You let a 1 man team beat you after having a 2-0 lead. You let a Miami team with no heart beat you.[ Yes, we did. And those losses should have never happened. But at least we were in the conference finals. While we were playing all those team in the third round, the Magic were watching from home.

1.Chauncey Billups 2.Isiah Thomas 3.Joe Dumars 4.Rasheed Wallace 5.Lindsey Hunter I don't like non-pistons.

What does Code Blue mean, anyways? Is it like the Heat's White Hot deal?

Pistons in five.

You guys actually think you have a chance at beating us? That's kind of funny. Pistons in five.
